This series is a sequel to the original Dragon Ball anime as well as the film Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone.

Victims

Saiyan Saga/Vegeta Saga

  1. Unnamed Farmer - Tried to shoot Raditz, but he caught the bullet and flicked it back at him, killing him (but not instantly, as he was heard mumbling for a time after)
  2. Raditz - Special Beam Cannon shot through his chest by Piccolo. After telling Piccolo that Nappa and Vegeta would be arriving in a year, he began to laugh at him, so Piccolo finished him off. (Offscreen, the last we see is Piccolo raising his hand above Raditz. When Krillin and Bulma take the scouter from his corpse, it is offscreen as well, but in the uncut version, though the deathblow remains offscreen, his body is shown, relatively undamaged, but the ground around him is cracked. Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi suggests that he killed him with a physical attack.)
  3. Goku - Killed by Piccolo with a Special Beam Cannon, as he had to hold Raditz in place in order for Piccolo to hit him. His body vanished after death, and he was later wished back with the Dragonballs.
  4. Greger - Lost a fight to Lesoy, so the king had him thown into the Pit, where he was eaten offscreen by Yetti.
  5. Lesoy - Killed by Vegeta with a finger beam to the face.
  6. Yetti - Destroyed by Nappa with an energy wave.
  7. King Moai - Rock shot through his chest by Vegeta.
  8. Atla - Killed when Vegeta blew up Planet Arlia.

  13. Saibaman - Three were killed by Krillin with an energy wave that split in several directions.
  14. Saibaman - The last one was thrown into the air by Piccolo and killed with a mouth energy wave.
  15. Chiaotzu - Selfdestructed in an attempt to kill Nappa. He was later wished back with the Namekian Dragonballs.
  16. Tien - Used up all his energy for a Tri Beam, which didn't affect Nappa. Was later wished back with the Namekian Dragonballs.
  17. Piccolo - Jumped in front of Gohan to protect him from Nappa's Bomber DX . His body was left intact, but vanished after death. Was later wished back with the Namekian Dragonballs.
  18. Kami - Was automatically killed when Nappa killed Piccolo, as the two Namekians were originally one. His body vanished in death, and he was wished back along with Piccolo.
  19. Shenron - In a sense, was killed along with Piccolo and Kami, as the Dragonballs turned to stone afterwards, and came back when they were wished back.
  20. Nappa - After being beaten by Goku, was thrown in the air by Vegeta and obliterated by his Galaxy Breaker technique.

Namek Saga

  1. Bund - Kicked into Vug by Krillin, and fell to a watery grave.
  2. Vug - Kicked into Bund by Gohan, and fell to a watery grave.
  3. Cui - Punched into the air and blown up by Vegeta using his Dirty Fireworks technique.
  4. Pomegren - When a Namek reflected energy waves from one of Frieza's henchmen, Pomegen was zapped. Most of Frieza's henchmen present (except Zarbon and Dodoria) were killed during this scene, mostly by Nameks but one was kicked into the water by Zarbon.
  5. Three Namekians - Of the three Nameks that defeated Frieza's henchmen, the one with the cape was killed by Dodoria with a blow from behind (possibly broke his spine, or slammed his fist through him), and the one in purple was killed by Dodoria with a Mouth energy wave. The one in orange was slammed by Dodoria into a cliff wall. All were wished back with the Dragonballs.
  6. Cargo - Killed by Dodoria with a mouth energy wave over Moori's shoulder. (The blast hitting him is not shown onscreen, and dialogue is worded to make it sounded like he escaped, with Dodoria himself saying "Your brother may have escaped, but not you!") Was later wished back with the Dragonballs.
  7. Moori - Beaten to death by Dodoria. Was later wished back with the Dragonballs.
  8. Dodoria - Made a deal with Vegeta to tell him how his home planet was destroyed, but Vegeta doesn't keep bargains, and destroyed Dodoria with a massive energy blast.
  9. Tsuno - Disintegrated by Vegeta with an energy wave. Was not wished back with the other Nameks, as the wish was to revive only those killed by Frieza and his gang.
  10. Orlen - Killed by Frieza with eye lasers as punishment for not finding out where Vegeta hid the Dragonball.
  11. Appule - Killed when Vegeta broke out of the rejuvenation tank, when Appule was standing in front of it and insulted Vegeta. The deathblow was struck offscreen (presumably an energy blast or explosion), but he was shown lying dead on the ground afterward.
  12. Zarbon - Fist slammed through him by Vegeta, then energy wave blasted through his chest, sending him flying into the lake to a watery grave.
  13. Namole - Vaporized by Frieza with an energy blast over his shoulder. After Namole confrmed that he was not second-guessing Frieza's decision to summon the Ginyu Force, Frieza, being the coldhearted tyrant he is, decided to kill him anyway.
  14. Blueberry - Captured and eaten or torn to shreds offscreen by the giant crab. Was last seen being pulled below the water.
  15. Raspberry - Captured and eaten or torn to shreds offscreen by the giant grab. Was last seen being pulled below the water.
  16. Guldo - Head cut off by Vegeta with a laser just as he was about to kill Krillin and Gohan. (In the original dub, he falls to the ground and, if one looks closely, his head is not attached. In redub, however, his head is actually shown rolling off his body over to Vegeta.) He survived, but was then killed by Vegeta with an energy blast.
  17. Captain Strong - Punched into the sky by Captain Ginyu. He was trying out for the Ginyu Force, but when Ginyu found out he was a captain (one of Frieza's captains), he killed him, saying "There's only one captain on the Ginyu Forces and that's me!"
  18. Oggers - Punched into the sky by Captain Ginyu because he didn't have enough style to be on the Ginyu Force.
  19. Strock - Killed offscreen by Ginyu because he didn't have enough style to be on the Ginyu Force.
  20. Goose - Killed offscreen by Ginyu because he didn't have enough style to be on the Ginyu Force.

  3. Jeice - Completely destroyed by Vegeta with an energy wave to the face, point blank, after being seriously injured by a kidney shot that shattered his ribs.

Frieza Saga

  1. Guru - Died of a broken heart from the pain he felt due to Frieza killing his sons, the Nameks. Was later wished back with the Dragonballs.
  2. Porunga - In a sense, was destroyed when Guru died, but came back when Guru was wished back to life.
  3. Dende - Killed by Frieza with a finger beam. Frieza witnessed Dende healing Piccolo and eliminated him so this wouldn't be a problem. He was later wished back with the Dragonballs.
  4. Vegeta - Beat up by Frieza, and the finishing blow was a Death Beam through his heart, just to get him to shut up. He was wished back along with the rest of Frieza's victims.
  5. Krillin - Blown up by Frieza in a similar (though less fireworks) style to Cui. This enraged Goku and he turned Super Saiyan. Krillin was later wished back with Namek Dragonballs.
  6. Malaka - Was presumably blown up when Goku's power level overloaded Planet Frieza's computer and destroyed the building. Debatable, as a doctor identical to him was seen aboard King Cold's ship, indicating that he (alone of the Frieza soldiers stronger than him) unbelievably managed to survive, in which case he was killed when Trunks blew up the ship after killing King Cold.
  7. Guru - Died of old age. His body vanished after death.

Garlic Jr. Saga

  1. Rittain - Hand crushed by Vegeta, then killed with an energy blast. (Many of Frieza's followers across the universe are killed by Vegeta as he searches for Goku)

  2. Frieza - Chopped in half by Trunks with his sword, sliced into bits and destroyed with an energy blast. (Note: Is resurrected in Resurrection F, which appears to only take place in the canon of Dragonball Kai)
  3. King Cold - Energy wave shot through his kidney by Trunks, who, ignoring King Cold's begging for mercy (presumably because Frieza could not be trusted when Goku spared him) destroyed him with an energy wave.

Androids Saga

  1. Android 19 - Hands pulled off by Vegeta, then, as he attempted to run, Vegeta destroyed him with a Big Bang attack, leaving only his head, damaged, and was not able to survive.
  2. Dr. Gero - Head kicked off by Android 17, who then stomped on his head and crushed it.

Imperfect Cell Saga

  1. Shenron - In a sense, was destroyed when Kami fused with Piccolo, causing the Dragonballs to disappear, but was revived when Dende became guardian and restored power to the Dragonballs.
  2. Rich man - Absorbed by Cell. When absorbing humans, Cell would stab the victim with the sharp stinger on his tail, and then suck them in a bit at a time.
  3. Androids 17 and 18 (Cell's timeline) - Are mentioned to be killed by Trunks. (Characters are shown in flashback during the Cell Games Saga)
  4. Trunks (Cell's timeline) - Strangled by Cell with his tail. (Shown in flashback)
  5. Cell (present) - the Cell of the present, still in his tank and in larval form, was killed by Krillin and Trunks with an energy wave, as they were destroying Dr. Gero's secret lab and preventing another Cell from appearing.
