Cases kept outside the counts
These notes preserve uncertainty or explain a counting boundary. They are not added to death or revival totals.
Tambourine's reported total of six is not treated as a confirmed death toll
After killing Giran, Tambourine reports a cumulative total of six. However, he had previously reported Goku as killed even though Goku survived. Because it is unknown whether Goku was included in that total, this site does not treat six as a confirmed count or add three unnamed people to the known victims Krillin, Nam, and Giran. This does not mean that there were no other victims.
