No one dies during this saga.
Dragon Ball Z
Edit
Saiyan Saga
Edit
1. Farmer: Killed by Raditz. He tried to shoot Raditz, but Raditz caught the bullet and flicked it back at him, making the farmer the first person to die in Dragon Ball Z. Ep.1
2. Raditz: Killed by Piccolo. Goku held Raditz in place, and then Piccolo shot him with a Special Beam Cannon, mortally wounding him. Piccolo later finished Raditz off while he was laughing at him. We do not see exactly what Piccolo does to him, but we can assume it is not a pretty sight, because when Krillin and Bulma take his scouter, Raditz's corpse remains unseen. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi implies that Piccolo killed him by hitting him with his fist or hand. Ep.5
3. Goku: Killed by Piccolo, though he sacrificed himself. He held Raditz in place so he could not escape, and Piccolo shot a Special Beam Cannon through both of them. Goku was later revived with the Dragon Balls. Ep.5

21. Moori: Neck snapped by Dodoria after Frieza went back on his word to leave the Namek village in peace. He was later revived with the Dragon Balls. Ep.47
22. Dodoria: Killed by Vegeta. The two made a deal that Dodoria tell Vegeta the truth about the destruction of his home planet, but Vegeta did not keep his end of the bargain. As Dodoria attempted to get back to Frieza, Vegeta shot an energy wave to completely obliterated him in midair. Ep.49
23. Tsuno: Killed by Vegeta when Vegeta invaded the only Namek village Frieza had not attacked. The Elder tried to stop Vegeta from taking the Dragon Ball, but Vegeta obliterated him with an energy wave. Ep.51
24. Unnamed Frieza Soldier: Killed by Frieza. He returned to Frieza after discovering the hidden village Vegeta attacked, but as he had not found out where Vegeta had hidden the Dragon Ball, Frieza killed him with an eye laser, threatening to do the same to Zarbon if he did not find Vegeta and make him talk.
25. Appule: Killed by Vegeta. Appule was overseeing Vegeta when he was healing in the rejuvenation tank after his injuries from his fight with the transformed Zarbon. Vegeta recovered and broke out of the rejuvenation tank, presumably with an energy blast, and killed Appule as he did so.
26. Zarbon: Killed by Vegeta. Even in his transformed state, Zarbon was no longer a match for the Saiyan prince the second time around, since Vegeta's power had grown since his near-death experience. Vegeta slammed his fist clean through his stomach, shot an energy blast clean through him, and sent him flying into the Namekian sea to a watery grave. Ep.57
27. Blueberry and Raspberry: Both pulled underwater and killed offscreen by the giant crab. Ep.60
28. Guldo: Killed by Vegeta. Guldo had Krillin and Gohan trapped in his Mind Freeze, but Vegeta intervened, cutting off Guldo's head (this scene was edited a bit in the Ocean dub, where Guldo falls to his knees with his head not attached, as opposed to his head rolling off). In both dubs, Guldo was still alive, so Vegeta killed him with an energy blast. His corpse was later seen by Dende, and later Gohan. Ep.63
29. Captain Strong: Either killed by Captain Ginyu when he punched him into the sky (as he was trying out for the Ginyu Force, and was also a captain, and only Ginyu can be a captain on the Ginyu Force), or killed by Vegeta during the Frieza Saga when he arrived at Frieza's ship in search of the Dragon Balls.
30. Oggers: Either killed by Captain Ginyu when he knocked him into the sky (as he did not have enough style to be on the Ginyu Force) or killed by Vegeta during the Frieza Saga when he arrived at Frieza ship in search of the Dragon Balls.

38. Vegeta: Killed by Frieza. Frieza mercilessly beat him up, and then when Goku came and Vegeta talked about Frieza being beaten by a Saiyan, Frieza killed the Saiyan Prince with a Death Beam through the chest just to shut him up. Before dying, he told Goku to destroy Frieza, but was later revived with the Dragon Balls. Ep.86
39. Krillin: Killed by Frieza. Frieza lifted him into the air with his mind and blew him up, inducing Goku's first Super Saiyan transformation. He was later revived with the Namekian Dragon Balls. (Note: This was Krillin's second time dying, as he was killed by Tambourine in Dragon Ball). Ep.95

44. Vinegar: Killed by Gohan.

45. Spice: Killed by Gohan. Gohan was angry that Vinegar beat up Krillin, and that he was about to fall to his death over the edge of the lookout, and Spice and Vinegar were attacking Gohan, so Gohan unleashed his hidden powers and shot two separate energy blasts, destroying both Spice and Vinegar at the same time.
Trunks Saga
Edit
46. Unnamed Captain: Killed by Frieza, who pierced him with his hand from behind after he retreated from Future Trunks.

48. King Cold: Killed by Future Trunks. Future Trunks gave him his sword, but the sword did not improve King Cold's chances. Trunks shot an energy blast through his chest, sending him flying into a rock wall, which was now covered with blood. He begged Trunks for his life, but Trunks, knowing how Frieza's family works, destroyed him with the same energy blast.
49. Malaka: Presumably killed by Future Trunks, when Future Trunks blew up King Cold's spaceship. (It is also possible that he was not killed) .
Android Saga
Edit
50. Android 19: Killed by Vegeta. 19 attempted to drain Vegeta's energy using the devices on his hands, but Vegeta pulled his hands off and, as 19 attempted to run, blew him up with a Big Bang Attack. Only his head remained.
51. Dr. Gero: Killed by Android 17. As the mad scientist (also known as Android 20) tried to stop 17 and 18 from activating Android 16, 17 kicked his head off. The head was still alive, so 17 stomped on it, crushing it.
Note: Furthermore, no other notable people were killed during this Saga, though definitely many people are killed by Androids 19 and 20 in South City, and at least 5 people are unintentionally killed by Vegeta during his fight with Android 18.
Imperfect Cell Saga
Edit
52. Cell (present): Killed by Krillin and Future Trunks using energy waves while he was still in larval form inside his test tube.
Perfect Cell Saga

Cell Games Saga
Edit
53. Android 16: Body destroyed by Cell using an energy blast, but his head was still alive. 16 was killed when Cell stomped on his head and crushed it - but not before he spoke to Gohan, telling him to fight Cell, inducing Gohan's Super Saiyan 2 transformation. He may have been revived with the Dragon balls, but was never seen afterward.
54. The Cell Juniors: All seven of them were killed by a transformed Gohan with effortless blows.

59. Android 17: Killed when Cell self destructed, as he was still inside Cell at the time. Was later revived with the Dragon Balls. (Note: The wish was made to revive everyone on Earth who was killed by Cell, and 17 died on King Kai's planet. This can be argued that his being absorbed on Earth affected whether he was considered to have died on Earth, as his absorption led to his death. Also, it is unknown as to why he never appeared on Snake Way with Goku, King Kai, Bubbles, and Gregory) .
60. Future Trunks: Killed by Cell with a beam through the chest. Was later revived with the Dragon Balls.
61. Cell: Killed by Gohan. Gohan and Cell entered a beam struggle with the Father-Son Kamehameha and Solar Kamehameha respectively, and Cell was about to win when Vegeta hit him with an energy ball, allowing Gohan to overpower Cell, completely destroying him.

Edit
No one dies during this saga.

Edit
No one dies during this saga.

70. Several people watching the World Martial Arts Tournament were killed when Majin Vegeta fired his Big Bang Attack at the stands to force Goku to fight him.
Majin Buu Saga
Edit
71. Dabura: Killed by Majin Buu. The pink blob turned the king of demons into a gigantic cookie and ate him, thus turning all his victims (that he turned to stone) back to normal. When he turned up in Other World, King Yemma turned him good and sent him to Heaven, as he would have enjoyed Hell too much.
72. Vegeta: Blew himself up in an attempt to destroy Majin Buu. Buu was blown to bits, but came back together. Vegeta, meanwhile, was turned to stone by the force of his attack, and fell to the ground and disintegrated until there was not a shred of him left. Was later revived with the Namekian Dragon Balls.
73. Marvin: Killed by Babidi. The World Tournament judge gave Babidi the names of who he was seeking (Trunks, Goten, and Piccolo), but Babidi was not interested in their names and made his head explode. Was later revived with the Namekian Dragon Balls.
74. Babidi: Killed by Majin Buu. Buu decided he had had enough of Babidi's abuse, so he grabbed him by the throat and punched his head off, then destroyed his headless body.
Fusion Saga
Edit
75. Van Zant: Killed by Evil Buu. The first thing Evil Buu did when he appeared was to vaporize the deranged gunman with a Guilty Flash energy wave.
76. Smitty: Killed by Super Buu. The first major thing Super Buu did after he transformed from Evil Buu was to turn into liquid and go down Smitty's throat, making him get bigger and fatter (more gruesomely than Spopovich or Yakon) until he exploded. (The broadcast version, at least in the United States, cuts out most of the details: it shows Buu heading for Smitty's mouth, then Mr. Satan's reaction, then the Buu explosion after it has occurred.)

- Turtle
- World Tournament Announcer

11. Yakon: Killed by Trunks. Trunks exterminates him as well with an energy ball.

17. Dr. Gero: As mentioned above, killed by Super 17 after Myuu betrayed him. Super 17 destroys him with an energy wave at Myuu's command. This is somewhat ironic as 17 killed Dr. Gero the first time.
18. Dr. Myuu: Killed by Super 17 with an Electro Eclipse Bomb, directing it at him due to the original 17's influence rather than killing Goku and 18
19. Super 17: Killed by Goku and Android 18 after Goku used the Dragon Fist on him, and fired a few Kamehameha waves through his damaged system, putting an end to the evil Android.

- Android 14: Chopped in half by Trunks with his sword, causing him to explode.
- Android 13: Killed by Goku. Goku absorbed the energy of his Spirit Bomb (partially because he can not contain the Spirit Bomb if he tried to throw it as a Super Saiyan, but it is also because 13 knew all about the Spirit Bomb, and it would not have worked on him) and punched a hole in 13, and the energy around Goku disintegrated him, while Dr. Gero's computer was saying "Goku must die!"
Dragon Ball Z: Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan
Edit
- Moah: Killed by Paragus' Dead Punisher after he expressed concern about the comet heading for New Vegeta (which would eventually destroy it).

- Krang: Presumably killed when the comet hit New Vegeta, as Paragus' scientist was not seen among the Z Fighters and alien slaves on Piccolo's ship. It is also likely that he was killed before then, when Broly sent energy waves in all directions, destroying Paragus' soldiers and spaceship.

- Bojack: Killed by Gohan. After Gohan impaled Bojack with his hand, the two shot energy beams at each other (Gohan's was a Super Kamehameha, while Bojack's was a Galactic Buster). They ran at each other through their beams, and in this final attack, Bojack was killed, completely disintegrated inside the explosion.

Edit
- The monster: The dinosaur that terrorized the village was defeated by Goten and Trunks, then cooked and eaten by the villagers.

- Bio-Broly: Consumed by the culture fluid (in a scene mirroring Gohan getting Broly to fall into lava in the previous movie) but this only made him bigger. However, as he was merged with the culture fluid, he turned to stone because of the sea water. Goten,Trunks, and Krillin finished him off with a Kamehameha and Big Tree Cannon, respectively.
