Falls under badness due to trivialization: the most severe kind, actually.
I mean, you have people blowing off being a cold blooded hitman because they think it's cool. Then you have... this... blowing off Hitler as a super saiyan.
I think the most astounding thing is that if the a/n is to be believed, this is not a troll fic.
I would do it myself, but whoops, never really watched Dragon Ball Z except for an episode or two that I peered at over my brother's shoulder.
Okay, I'm honest to god tearing up. This is bad.
Anne Frank.
Anne Frank and Goku.
AS A PAIRING.
And the writing is so list-like! And the lack of sense! And...And...
I just can't even...
Ugh.
Just...Here's the link. It's not even that long.

Don't shoot the messenger...
It was sporked about three or four years ago by someone who's no longer around. Clearly the mission's vanished too. Huh.
I'd offer, but I don't know anything about Dragon Ball Z either.
There was something off about the html, that's why it didn't look right for most people. I think I fixed the problem for myself. In which case, I may still have the mission stored on my computer somewhere. I'll have a look-see.
The Fanfic Critic reviewed it on her show. It's one of the few fics to make even Susan want to kill herself.
I honestly think this is one of those things that needs more than one RC to spork...
That is a pretty bad fic.
So, yeah, anyone in the DIC or Floaters (sometimes they forget that they can do everything) could take this on.
... I wonder if hosting the Words of a fic on an obnoxious background is punishable or not. I can barely read this without highlighting it.

Power... cells...? Goku runs on batteries? I'm not a big DBZ fan but I can't recall them ever being called that... I might be wrong though...
OK, this fic IS terrible. But it does contain these lines.
“Now come on.” Commanded Goku. “We’ve got some Nazi a** to kick.”
Hitler burst into a laugh, as Goku looked on quizzically. The mustachioed man slowly rose into the air, as his brown hair and pencil moustache turned a blonde color, and his brown eyes turned blue. Goku reeled in horror. Hitler continued laughing, then finally said “Goku! You came here expecting to find a madman, but instead, you found a GOD!” Hitler had become a Super Saiyan.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA. NAZI ARYAN SUPER SAIYAN.
OK, I admit I don't know jack about DBZ, but even this made my blood boil.
I had placed my initial sporking on hold (pending a re-evaluation and perhaps a switch of fic to spork), so, if more volunteers are needed, would a college student turned PPC recruit and a Helghast (essentially a "Nazi IN SPACE", to use a trope) be able to chip in?
OK, quick qualifier: me getting my blood up is not due to the author, but it's more about the subject matter in question.
I mean, OK, if the genres being crossed are appropriate, then fine. But seriously, making light of one of six million victims of the most notorious genocide in human history?! There are some elements within human history that should be brought under Word quarantine, because they could be liable to defame victims rather then utilise as a background for fanfictional writing.
When will some authors learn?

Never, it seems. Anyway, it seems to me that this guy is trivialising the Holocaust; that's definitely a charge, not to mention stupid and a Very Bad Idea.
