comment |
Snark Knight: Videl as the Great Saiyaman 2, especially in contrast to Gohan's genuine but over-the-top enthusiasm. Her total indifference and constant snark when dealing with Hoi's Wounded Gazelle Gambit makes the scene increasingly hilarious, with her mocking him when he's pretending he'll jump from a skyscraper, flying while in annoyed poses and "attempting" to fix the music box (read: glancing at it for two seconds) before simply tossing it away like garbage. |

comment |
Darker and Edgier: This is one of the grittier Z movies, which is reflected in the darker colour palette. It introduces a brooding alien hero with a tragic past, a literal Kaiju with legitimately terrifying designs, and deals with explicit themes of suicide and racially-driven genocide. |

Good is Not Nice: Tapion is legitimately a hero and the savior of his race, but there's a very good reason his first action on being released is to chew everyone out for it, then get as far away from the city as possible while brushing off all attempts to befriend him. |

There's No Kill like Overkill: Any attack that is used on Hirudegarn is simply shrugged and makes the monster even angrier. The only thing that puts him down is being impaled with an attack that is meant to kill stronger opponents by disintegrating them down to absolutely nothing. |

End-of-Series Awareness: Averted. This was the last Dragon Ball Z film (The Path to Power was a Dragon Ball film) for eighteen years until Battle of Gods, but the creators likely didn't know that. Despite being alive, Goku's role is mostly limited to the climax, while Trunks is the character that takes center stage. |

Character Development |
| | Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon / int_3b113b7 |
comment |
Character Development: Tapion is justifiably cold and bitter after he's reluctantly freed from his music box prison, as he knows the consequences of his freedom and implicitly blames the Z-Fighters. However, Trunks and Bulma showing him kindness steadily reveal the softer side to him. Although he does not have much screentime in this movie, Vegeta's character development carries over from the manga and anime. He selflessly defends an office full of civilians from Hirudegarn's blast with a large ki barrier that drains him completely, something that he would have never gone out of his way to do prior to the Majin Buu arc. |

Dub Personality Change: In the dub, Hirudegarn's weakness is said to be intense emotions, and taunting it is said to weaken it. However, in the Japanese version, no such weakness exists. Goku taunts Hirudegarn to provoke him into attacking him, so he can counterattack during the brief period of time Hirudegarn is tangible. |

Sealed Evil in a Can: Exaggerated. Hirudegarn, the evil monster, is cut in half and sealed inside of two separate people-shaped cans, Tapion and Minotia, who are themselves sealed inside impenetrable music boxes and banished to the opposite sides of the universe. It still isn't enough, proving these tropes are doomed from the start. |

Prior to this, he apparently went on TV to request help more conventionally. |

Dub-Induced Plot Hole: A minor one. When Vegeta makes his entrance in the English dub, his Pre-Asskicking One-Liner mentions that he was enjoying his first day off in a month. Anyone slightly familiar with his character knows he lives off his wife and hasn't had a 'job' since he served Freeza. Vegeta spends all of his time training, which he wouldn't think of as work. In the original Japanese version, he's just angry that Hirudegarn destroyed his house. |

Driven to Suicide: At the beginning of the movie, Hoi feigns a Wounded Gazelle Gambit to attract Great Saiyaman's attention by threatening to jump from a tall building. Although that was a ploy, Tapion later begs Trunks to kill him in order to end the threat of Hirudegarn, bringing everything full circle. He even says that he welcomes death. |

Tragic Hero: Tapion. His race were driven to the brink of extinction by Hirudegarn and the Kashvar, he's spent 1000 years trapped in an unbreakable music box, and he carries the burden of having part of Hirudegarn's soul imprisoned inside him. He can never sleep for fear of unleashing the monster, and even when Bulma constructs a special chamber that he can safely rest in, he's haunted by horrible nightmares. To top it all off, Hoi murdered his younger brother Minotia. |

Non-Serial Movie: Unusually for the franchise, because it's set some unspecified time after the Buu Arc it doesn't conflict with the (pre-Super) timeline at all. |

Doomed by Canon: Tapion's home planet, Konats is in the South Galaxy. Broly: The Legendary Super Saiyan says that Broly destroyed most of the planet's in this galaxy so Konats is probably gone. Though given each Dragon Ball Z film is set in a separate alternate continuity, and this film isn't one of the Broly sequels, it's possible his planet is still there. |

Cool Sword: Tapion's, which is given to (main timeline) Trunks at the end of the movie, and he'd go on to use it in the opening for GT. May or may not be the sword that future Trunks used, depending on if Tapion came to Earth or not in that timeline. For however much it's worth, Dragon Ball Xenoverse labels Future Trunks's sword as Tapion's. |

Naturally, Goku easily fought them off, then comes back out of the pit with the Dragon Ball smiling while a lion was futilely biting on his head. |

Fish out of Water |
| | Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon / int_af696bef |
comment |
Fish out of Water: Tapion is unwillingly awoken on a strange, alien planet (Earth), knowing that it's only a matter of time before he causes the apocalypse. It takes quite a while for him to warm up to the Dragon Team. From a meta standpoint, he's definitely not the kind of character that would fit in Toriyama's original manga (mainly in terms of his morose characterisation, not just his Genre Refugee design). |

Achilles' Heel: It's stated that Hirudegarn becomes solid for an instant after it attacks, so countering its attacks was a tactic used by both Gohan and Goku. Cutting off its tail (only possible with the blessed sword Tapion carries) causes it to lose some of its Intangible Man ability. |

Lightning Bruiser: Hirudegarn's Intangible Man trick means he can strike from unexpected angles, a bit like Janemba did in the previous movie. Unlike Janemba, he strikes from completely unexpected angles and hits like a meteorite - the effect is that he's extremely good at knocking out the post-Buu Z Warriors with a couple of hits, even knocking Gotenks apart at one point. |

Continuity Snarl: Almost entirely Averted. The events of the film fit neatly in-between the Buu Saga and Battle of the Gods with nothing in particular contradicting the source material besides the below mentioned Voodoo Shark. Granted, the fact that Trunks never uses or even mentions Tapion's sword in GT (except in the opening) or Super could be considered a retroactive discrepancy, but that's hardly a fault of the film itself. |

Expy: Tapion seems to look a lot like Crono from Chrono Trigger which makes sense considering that Akira Toriyama designed the characters in that game also. In-universe, he plays the role of both Future Trunks and the time machine that brought Cell to the past - Bulma's softer moments with him cement this. Hoi is one of Babidi. In the American version, Bulma even lampshades this by saying how his whiskers are a dead giveaway that he's up to no good. Hirudegarn is essentially a Dragon Quest Big Bad. |

One-Winged Angel: Hirudegarn shedding its outer layer like a monstrous cicada to reveal an even more powerful, nightmarishly insectoid form beneath. |

Intangible Man: Unless you cut off its tail, Hirudegarn can turn into mist to avoid attacks. Worse, he doesn't seem to give off any Ki, so it's difficult to get a lead on him. |
