[[spoiler:Then the Champa Arc comes in and we get Hit, a much more serious character who's also much stronger a fighter despite having a weaker time manipulation. Not helping was the fact that Vegeta, the same person who kills the former, [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown gets effortlessly]] [[TheWorfEffect worfed by the latter.]]]]
* Similarly, when Ginyu switched bodies with Goku in ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', it was treated as humorous moment for the most part since Ginyu was laughably incompetent at using Goku's body to the point that Gohan and Krillin could beat him up, and he got utterly stomped by Vegeta. [[spoiler:Goku Black shows exactly how dangerous Goku's power and abilities are in the wrong hands, especially with someone who knows how to add their own skills on top of Goku's powerset]].
* In the dub, when King Kai is talking about Beerus, he calls him a powerful deity on the level of the Supreme Kai. Goku becomes interested and says that since he's a deity, that means he's [[GodIsGood good]]. Yeah....[[spoiler:Zamasu was also a deity and he was ''anything'' but good, despite [[KnightTemplar claiming otherwise]]]].
* Cabba's talk about how the Saiyans from Universe 6 save planets from conflict [[spoiler:now feels sinister since it's been revealed that they were working with [[BitchInSheepsClothing Frost]] on some of their missions.]]
* Many fans wanted U7 to lose the tournament against U6 so the Earth would be moved to Universe 6 and have new adventures there. Goku even lampshaded that there would be no real problem if they lost since they would simply moved to another universe. However, if U7 had lost and the Earth was moved, then Future Trunks would have no allies to get help to fight Goku Black since he would have remained in Universe 7.
* After the revelation that [[spoiler:Goku Black is an alternative version of Present Zamasu who used the Super Dragon Balls to take Goku's body and then murdered Goku who was trapped in his original body]], all the praise Goku Black heaps on Goku for being the strongest of the mighty warrior race and how much he admires Goku becomes extremely creepy and disturbing. His [[spoiler:Super Saiyan Rosé transformation scene]] is especially unnerving since Goku Black tells Goku to rejoice, since through him, his body had reached the height of beauty.
* During the Champa Saga, Universe 6's Supreme Kai and his attendant are weirded out with the fact that in Universe 7, mortals can casually chat with gods. Later in the Future Trunks Saga, when Goku casually approached Zamasu, a Kai of Universe 10, and attempted to chat and spar with him, he took ''serious'' issue with it and this eventually became his StartOfDarkness.
* When the 2015 ''Dragon Ball Z'' movie was announced, all fans got was the tagline: ''The worst wish in history and the beginning of despair''. One of the most popular theories was that someone wished for Goku to become evil. While the wish in this case turned out to be [[Anime/DragonBallZResurrectionF Frieza's return]], the Future Trunks Saga does depict the creation of an evil Goku as the worst wish in history, which has brought true despair. [[spoiler:The birth of Goku Black was the beginning of the end for Future Trunks' timeline]].
* The entire Future Trunks Saga becomes this once you see the ending. [[spoiler:Future Trunks' entire ''timeline'' is destroyed by Future Zeno and that is ''after'' Fusion Zamasu kills everyone after losing his physical body. So despite beating Zamasu and going through hell, Trunks still loses everything except Future Mai]].
* Related to the Future Trunks Saga; during the Universal Survival arc, try watching Goku's friendship with Gowasu knowing that [[spoiler:Goku and his friends will ultimately be the ones to cause Universe 10's complete destruction]].

Now in a "slice of life" episode, Pan (as a baby) gets a fever and because of her Saiyan blood, the fever was rendered incurable. If they didn't wish Pan to be better with the Dragon Balls, she could've actually died in canon.
* Bulma's parting lines in Episode 96 before everyone left for the Tournament of Power became more sad in retrospective after Bulma's Japanese voice actress Creator/HiromiTsuru passed away in November 16th, 2017.
* Episode 105, "A Desperate Battle! Master Roshi's Sacrifice!!", in which the titular character almost dies after a spectacular show of force, became depressingly ironic and doubly emotional in the Hungarian dub, as Roshi's voice actor Ferenc Végh suddenly passed away after recording, leaving fans wondering for a month what his last episode would be.
