==Trivia== *In the original Japanese version of ''Dragon Ball Z: Lord Slug'', Lord Slug does not tell people that he is a Namekian. However, he does it in ''Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans''. *Lord Slug is one of the few Namekians seen eating solid food (he eats a handful of some sort of pills). * Lord Slug has a number of similarities with King Piccolo. Both are pure evil Namekians, used the Dragon Balls to wish for their youth to be restored, and both have four top henchmen (Angila, Wings, Medamatcha, and Commander Zeeun for Slug; and Piano, Tambourine, Cymbal, and Drum for King Piccolo). Also, Goku uses his Penetrate! maneuver to rip a hole through both of them. However, a difference is that King Piccolo has red blood while Slug's is purple (it should be noted that King Piccolo having red blood may simply be a mistake as his status as a Namekian was not revealed until ''Dragon Ball Z'') and Lord Slug is far more powerful than King Piccolo. Another difference is that Lord Slug was naturally pure evil by birth, while King Piccolo's status as pure evil was the result of him being the expelled evil from the Nameless Namekian (who himself only developed evil tendencies due to overexposure to the evil within humans). *Slug dies in a similar manner to Turles in the previous movie, ''Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might''. Both are hit with a Spirit Bomb from Goku, knocking them into the device they used to "modify" the Earth, destroying both villain and device and returning Earth to normal. Both villains also lead their own army of henchmen and seek to rule the universe. *Both Slug and Turles can be considered dark reflections of both Piccolo and Goku respectively. Slug and Turles are even allies in ''Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans'' and ''Xenoverse 2'', though in ''Xenoverse 2'' while they occasionally work together, Slug and Turles are actually competitors/rivals who simply work together out of a shared goal (revenge on Goku), which is similar to the reason Piccolo and Goku team-up in both the ''Dead Zone'' and Raditz Saga in order to defeat a shared enemy (Garlic Jr. & Raditz respectively). Though Turles and Slug share the same evil nature, hatred for Goku, even work well together as a team, both seek to rule the universe and refuse to bow down to each other. *In ''Xenoverse 2'', it is implied that Lord Slug realized his mistake of wishing only for Eternal Youth instead of complete immortality as he wishes to use the Namekian Dragon Balls to obtain immortality. **Lord Slug is one of the few people who might have actually been able to use the Namekian Dragon Balls to wish for eternal life as being a Namekian himself he may be capable of speaking the Namekian language as Porunga only grants wishes spoken in Namekian (it is likely Turles was unaware of this much like Frieza, though this would be less of a problem for Slug as he long as he knew how to speak his people's native tongue). However, it should be noted that in the original Japanese, Lord Slug was sent off the planet as a baby to Planet Slug and is never heard speaking Namekian (however it is still possible he may know the language as Kami and Piccolo did even before they learned of their heritage). *In the ''Budokai Tenkaichi 2'' demo, he is given Piccolo's voice for all his forms. *In ''Budokai Tenkaichi 3'', Lord Slug and Turles have the same pose for their character select artwork. *In the ''Dragon Ball Heroes'' trailers and the remake of ''Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans'', Slug is a darker shade of green. *Unlike other movie villains in remastered versions of the Funimation releases of the pre-Dragon Ball Super animation style films, Slug's voice wasn't altered.
