History

Comparison of the 'HELL' shirts in the edited (left) and uncut (right) scenes.

Hell was where evil characters (and sometimes, as in the case of Piccolo, Son Goku, and Pikkon, protagonists) go after they died. Hell was never actually shown in the manga, however, it was shown several times throughout the Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT anime series. A version of Hell was also shown in Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn. Hell was a mountainous area located beneath the Serpentine Road. The most distinguishing feature shown was Bloody Pond which, true to its name, was apparently composed of blood. This lake would later be semi-frozen by Janemba and used to encase Goku in Fusion Reborn. Often, the dead members of the Ginyu Special Corps (and on one occasion Cell) were knocked into Bloody Pond. There was also Needle Mountain, a spiky mountain shown in Fusion Reborn and a couple of episodes of Dragon Ball Z.

Hell was not depicted as torturing its inhabitants (indeed, there was even an amusement park as seen in "Goz and Mez"), although villains would be beat up by Pikkon (Grand Kaio's prized fighter and one of the most powerful dead fighters on Grand Kaio's World) and locked in a prison cell for a short time if they caused trouble. The exception was in Dragon Ball GT when Freeza and Cell sent Goku to an area below Hell where Enma tortured and froze Goku (after which he escaped because he was not dead).

In the original censored run of the English dub of Dragon Ball Z, Hell was known as HFIL. This acronym was stated to stand for Home For Infinite Losers. This change was made to avoid references which may have been considered inappropriate by the producers at the time. In later seasons of the censored English dub, the name of the character Mr. Satan was changed to "Hercule" for similar reasons. The term "HFIL" is used as a running joke by some fans of the series, who intentionally use phrases such as "What the HFIL?" in reference to it. In the Blue Water dub of Dragon Ball GT, it is referred to as the Underworld or Hades.

In the Vegeta Saga, Goku fell off of Snake Way and into Hell. After beating Goz and Mez, the Ogres in charge of Hell in a test of strength and speed, however, they helped him return to King Yemma's office so he could continue on Snake Way to receive King Kai's training. Goku returned there again with Pikkon in "Warriors of the Dead" to take care of the enemies Cell, Freeza, and the Ginyu Force, who had managed to take over Hell. During the fight with Kid Boo, the ogres were seen in Hell watching it, as well as Cell, Freeza, Cold, Recoome, Burter, Jeice, Guldo, Dr. Gero, Appule, and Babidi. The edited version excluded all these scenes (for unknown reasons) except for the first scene, which took place in "Vegeta's Respect".

Most of the battle with Janemba in Fusion Reborn takes place in Hell, although it is heavily distorted by Janemba's barrier at the time.

During the Super Android 17 Saga, Goku travels into a large cave within Hell where, yet again, he must defeat Cell and Freeza.

• Dabura - The Demon King was first sent here; but being a demon he was quite happy here, so King Yemma sent him up to heaven, where he later reforms in the anime only. (note: Whether or not he really was sent to Hell first is debatable; King Yemma told Goku that he was supposed to go below, but he was sent above instead since he would have enjoyed that scenario.)
• Babidi - Bibidi's son, evil wizard and mass murderer who controls others and has them do his bidding.
• Vegeta - Sent to Hell after his attempt to kill Majin Buu by self-destruction. Later he is given his body back and is sent to Earth by King Yemma in order to fight Super Buu. He is then revived by the Namekian Dragon Balls. (note: He is only ever witnessed to be in Hell in the movie Fusion Reborn, apparently did not get to keep his body, according to what Vegeta and Goku say in the Needle Mountain)
• Saike - A teenage Oni living in Hell. He works in the spirit laundry room.
• Janemba - Created from the evil inside people's souls, spent most of his life in Hell, lured down there to fight Goku. Was killed by Gogeta, though whether or not he continued to exist after his death is unknown; as he was merely a manifestation of evil possessing an ogre, who is returned to normal with Janemba's death.
• The Dictator - An evil dictator modeled after the real dictator Adolf Hitler in the Movie Fusion Reborn.
• Dr. Myuu - Evil Machine Mutant scientist.
• General Rilldo - Machine Mutant that killed thousands.
• Baby - A tuffle Machine Mutant parasite was responsible for killing millions of people. He even tried to kill the Saiyans (even Goku's family) as well.
• Piccolo - Trapped there as of the end of GT; he aids the ogres in keeping the villains under control; it is ironic he ends up working in Hell as he was once considered a demon; is one of the few good guys in Hell (though Goku hints he may be allowed into Heaven again someday). Interestingly, the first time he died, despite initially having an evil heart, he was allowed into King Kai's planet to train anyway. In the end, he becomes a guardian of Hell, keeping the residents in order (which suits Piccolo just fine). It is interesting to note King Yemma jokingly threatened to send Kami to hell when he died (Piccolo is fused with Kami) during the meeting about Goku travel on Snake Way to King Kai's planet for training.
• Hell Fighter 17 - Creation of Dr. Mu and Dr. Gero. Almost killed all of the Z Warriors when fused with Android 17 in the form of Super 17. Originated in Hell, as Dr. Gero and Dr. Myuu had created him while in Hell.
• Also many evil earthlings were killed by Buu and were not revived by Porunga, as Dende only revived the good victims. Though never seen or mentioned in Hell, it is likely that these include deranged gunmen, Smitty and Van Zant, who killed many innocent people and were killed by Super Buu and Evil Buu, respectively. It is unknown if the Shadow Dragons die or not, as Nuova Shenron was once killed by Syn, and then returned when given the appropriate energy.

Known visitors

• Goku - Has visited Hell a few times. Notably when he fell from Snake Wa] on his way to King Kai, also to fight Janemba in Fusion Reborn and when he fought Cell and Freeza in the Super 17 Saga. Visited hell for the last time to bid Piccolo farewell before infusing himself with the dragon.
• Pikkon - Has visited hell on at least one occasion, when Grand Kai sent him to stop Cell and Frieza from causing trouble, and easily defeated Cell, Freeza, and King Cold. Though never seen, it is implied that he went with Goku to fight Broly in Hell.
