Editing Dr. Wheelo (section)

== Trivia ==

* His name is a pun on "uirō", a type of Japanese cake and Nagoya specialty. However the katakana for his name translates to "willow" - a type of tree - in English. The English dub's name for him bears a resemblance to "Wheel".
* Dr. Wheelo is similar to Dr. Gero as both are brilliant yet evil mad scientists who have had their brains placed into Android bodies by an Android assistant (Dr. Kochin and Android 19) and are skilled in the field of bioengineering.
* Dr. Wheelo is the first movie villain to be voiced by Ward Perry in the Ocean dub, the second was [[Turles]].
* Dr. Wheelo is the first villain to seek to take over Goku's powerful body as his own, the second being Captain Ginyu and the third being Zamasu. Of them, however, he is the only one who does not succeed in any way in this goal.
* Dr. Wheelo is the first villain ever killed by the Spirit Bomb. Goku defeats the main enemy of a movie with the Spirit Bomb three times in a row: Wheelo is the first, with the other two being Turles and [[Lord Slug]].
* In the Funimation dub and Ocean Group dubs of the movie, Dr. Wheelo says two minor swear words. When Goku is gathering energy for a Spirit Bomb, he says "'''What the hell is he trying to do'''?" and right when Goku strikes the death blow with his Spirit Bomb, Wheelo says "'''Damn you Goku'''!" 'Hell' is often used in ''Dragon Ball Z'' due to HFIL also going by that name, but 'damn' is rarely used. Also, in the Ocean dub of the movie, Dr. Wheelo curses more often.
* Wheelo has a single red eye resembling Hal from ''2001: A Space Odyssey''. At one point, there is a close-up of Wheelo's eye in the same way as Hal.
* Frieza's final words in ''Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’'' and Golden Frieza Saga are the same as Dr. Wheelo's. Coincidentally, both were taken down in a similar manner, and both even make a reference to Hell in their penultimate words beforehand (In Frieza's case, telling Vegeta and everyone else to go there without him in reference to his attempt to blow up Earth before Goku intervened).
