A subverted trope is one that still happened but not in the way you'd expect. An averted trope is one that does not occur. A Subverted one is mentioned because even though it happened it is worth noting it did not happen in the way you would expect: Vegeta morns Goku's death, but not because he liked him, cause now he will never get to fight him to the death, that is a subversion of the trope.

The Averted is still worth mentioning even if it did not occur, because it is all but assured to occur yet does not.You killed my brother, prepare to die: Averted for Cooler, he is glad his brother is dead, he is there to kill his Goku because it will finally one-up his now dead brother if he kill the guy that Freeza obvious couldn't.
