There are several female fighters but they aren't subject to any especially violent or misogynistic treatment. The closest thing might be Master Roshi creeping on a female fighter but she runs away and he doesn't do anything to her.
The character Dyspo is a bipedal purple rabbit. He fights in the Tournament of Power and is injured by several other fighters. Hit grabs him by the ears. Another fighter threatens to cut his ears off. Frieza shoots lasers at him.
Maybe not in the traditional sense of cutting or things like that, but in the Tournament of Power, multiple characters including Vegeta and Android 17 use attacks that are potentially kamikaze. In most cases the characters injure themselves but don't die.
Goku also puts out a contract ON HIS OWN LIFE simply so he can fight a powerful opponent, so that's also pretty harmful.
There is a scene where Frieza destroys Earth and several children (and babies!) are shown being enveloped by the blast. Everything does turn out okay, though.
Puar is a male character who can shape shift. He uses this ability to turn into an attractive woman so Master Roshi can basically get over his obsession with babes. Puar is shown being very uncomfortable if not outright scared and runs away from Roshi.
Not quite to the point of the head breaking, but pretty damn close. During the Tournament of Power, the fighter Top grabs Frieza's head and squeezes it with his massive hands. Frieza is seen screaming in pain and his eyes get buggy.
I'd say there are visual gags involving larger characters. During the Tournament of Power there are 2 very round female characters whose attacks are them literally rolling into people like a bowling ball. Lord Champa's weight is also mocked once or twice.
Considering the absolutely heinous things Frieza did following his resurrection, Goku seems on mostly friendly terms with him during and directly after the Tournament of Power.
During the Tournament of Power, three male characters from Universe 2 end up wearing the outfits of the universe's "maidens." The outfits are bright and flowery and are meant to look silly on the male warriors.
There are over-the-top eating noises from Saiyan characters in multiple episodes. Vegeta clapping at Frieza may also trigger, as it's very repetetive and goes on for a while.
Possibly Tagoma. He is Frieza's "training partner" which means Frieza ruthlessly beat and abused him for 4 months straight. After landing on Earth, Tagoma states he's proud of helping Frieza get stronger. Tagoma then begins kicking the crap out of the good guys and shoots Gohan through the chest.
There is a character who, as her transformation, goes from slim to very round. She isn't wearing a fat suit, her body actually changes. Some characters make vague comments about it.
When Frieza returns, Krillin is shown to have recurrent flashbacks of how he was killed by Frieza on Namek. Krillin finds himself unable to fight for a period of time.
Future Trunks also definitely has PTSD and has flashbacks of Bulma dying. He also lashes out against Goku, who Trunks sees as Goku Black at first.
Several characters during the Tournament of Power are physically grabbed and held immobile by other characters. Vegeta also ties a stretchy character's arms together in a knot to keep him from moving.
Goku dies momentarily but is able to be revived. Piccolo is killed but brought back with the Dragon Balls. Frieza comes back, dies again, gets a day pass from Hell, and is then again resurrected. In an alternate time line Goku, Goten and Chi-Chi are all killed.
Future Trunks sees his mom Bulma get murdered. Goten sees his dad's temporarily dead body and cries. Goku ends up okay. Goku Black kills a version of Goku and Chi-Chi from a different time line.
Characters who are referred to as gods, including "gods of destruction" and "Super Saiyan Gods" exist in universe. Several of them become major characters.
Goku Black and Zamasu speak about topics including sin, judgement, and morality.
During the Tournament of Power, Kale goes on a rampage and grabs Goku's face. She covers everything below his nose. Several episodes later, Frieza grabs Cabba in a similar way.
Two pretty minor ones. Beerus makes a comment about a certain task "taking as long as an average anime episode." Vegeta, after being absent from a fight for a while, cuts in and says something like "don't forget I'm in this show, too."
Much of the fight against Frieza and some of Goku vs Hit takes place near what is either a large bay or the ocean. There are many shots of involved characters flying above the water. Goku vs Hit ends with both of them chilling near the water.
It's pretty quick, but during their exhibition match, Toppo seems to dislocate Goku's shoulder/arm. Goku pops the shoulder back into place without issue.
Frieza isn't allowed to kill during the Tournament of Power but that doesn't stop him from physically, racially and emotionally abusing weaker characters.
There are many instances where, during fights, characters become so exhausted they can't catch their breath and are seen panting for air. Frieza also uses his tail to strangle people.
During the Goku Black saga, Goku is grabbed by the ankle right where the leg joins the foot. The villain grabbing him then squeezes the ankle severely, making Goku scream in pain. The Achilles Tendon was definitely injured just based on location and positioning.
There isn't a ton of actual blood but there are many nasty injuries. Frieza blasts several holes into different characters. Piccolo has his arm mangled and has to regenerate it. A fused character has half his body become disfigured. A character has a hole blasted in his chest and nearly dies.
The fight with the most actual on-screen blood is probably Hit vs Vegeta and then Hit vs Goku during the tournament between Universe 6 and 7. Vegeta wipes blood from his face, Hit wipes purple blood from his cheek, and Goku spits blood.
The weird circumstances of Mai and Trunks: because while they’re physically the same age Mai is really about forty or so (slightly older than Bulls in fact!) but her and the rest of the Pilaf gang were aged down at some point
