* KarmicJackpot: How Kaiser became immortal. [[spoiler:During the Stone Age, he was a hunter who came across a wounded dragon. Rather than slay it, he showed kindness to the creature and nurtured it back to health. It's only afterward that he learns the creature he healed was no ordinary dragon, but was Valika, the Great Vanishing Dragon and a member of one of the three most powerful races in the universe. Out of gratitude, Valika gave him CompleteImmortality while also rendering him immune to death.]]

* BadFuture: The Phantom Enemy Arc introduces one where [[spoiler:Sentinel merged with Majin Buu, ascended to godhood, and conquered the entire universe. Nearly all of the Z-Fighters are dead, Earth is an inhospitable wasteland, and even the Gods have been fallen to Sentinel's armies.

This was apparently caused by Gohan and Sandra dying while facing an unknown threat, leaving Earth vulnerable without its protector. The surviving heroes consider this to be such a hellish future that -- after sending Pan and Eva into the past -- they activate a bomb which ''ends reality'' just to destroy any trace of this future in their timeline.]]
