History HilariousInHindsight / DragonBall

* Yamcha hides from Bulma after saving her during the Rabbit Gang incident with Puar telling his master that "She likes you." in the English dub. [[Manga/FairyTail The little blue cat with flight abilities]] says that. For a bonus, ''Dragon Ball Online'’ would later reveal that Puar was born from an egg.

* The introduction of Goku Black, originally referred to in spoiler material as "Black Goku", considering the series has a very large PeripheryDemographic among African American fans, complete with {{Original Character}}s of such nature.

* In one episode of the English dub, Gohan refers to Piccolo as "My Big Green Uncle". This becomes even more hilarious when you realize that there were some cheesy English dubs of ''DBZ'' called "The Big Green Dub".

* If you allow [[spoiler: Lilith to finish off Handsome Jack]] at the end of ''VideoGame/Borderlands2'', then it won't be the first time [[Creator/ColleenClinkenbeard Gohan]] obliterates [[Creator/DameonClarke Cell]].

* Whis' seiyu, Creator/MasakazuMorita, also voices Ichigo Kurosaki from ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''. In the ''Thousand Year Blood War'' anime, Creator/KoichiYamadera, Beerus' seiyuu, voiced Quilge Opie, who ends up getting [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomped]] by Ichigo, meaning that Whis easily trounces Beerus once again.

* [[Characters/DragonBallUniverse6 Caulifla's]] blind jab at the [[Characters/DragonBallUniverse11 Pride Troopers]] as being "wimps". For context, Universe 11 has the highest mortal level out of any of the competing universes in the Tournament of Power. Prior to the start of the Tournament, Toppo (a God of Destruction contender) made his and his teammates' potentially powerful presence known by being on par with Super Saiyan Blue Goku. Furthermore, he points out that his power is still well below that of Jiren. Cut to the gathering of the participating universes, minutes before its start, and the Pride Troopers appear with an intimidating level of Ki presence. It instantly attracts the attention of Universe 7's Goku and Vegeta, and Universe 6's Cabba as a force to not to be taken lightly. Caulifla, meanwhile, [[SmugSuper smugly]] disregards them as nothing to be too concerned about, and chastises Universe 7 for fearing them. While it initially appears that Caulifla would eat her crow after witnessing Jiren forcing Super Saiyan Berserk Kale out of her rampage with ease, it turns out that this display of power isn't shared equally amongst the Pride Troopers. With the combined efforts of her and a controlled Kale, along with the assistance of Androids #17 and #18, they ring out five Troop members (6, counting SSJ Berserk Kale's prior ringing out of Vuon) with relative ease in a short span of time. Meanwhile, at the time, Universe 6 has all their members accounted for and Universe 7 only has one casualty.

* In ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', Dr. Gero claimed that he didn't think Goku would become much stronger after the Saiyan Saga given his age. Never mind that Goku was only 28 during the Android Saga (and he lost a year from being dead, making him physically 27), [[CriticalResearchFailure which is still around the physical prime of a normal human]], this is hilarious given that in ''Super'' Vegeta tells Goku that Saiyans remain young until they hit 80.

** And in ''Anime/DragonBallSuperSuperHeroes'', [[spoiler: Gohan ''does'' end up getting a new form with white hair, called "Gohan Beast".]]

* Creator/RichardStevenHorvitz voices Dr. Rota, an overconfident, red-skinned character who participates in a competition where everyone else is far out of his league. Sounds eerily similar to [[WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss Moxxie and his predicament in the Harvest Moon Festival's Pain Games.]]

--> '''Cooler:''' I am the strongest in the universe! \\
'''WebVideo/{{Woolie|Versus}}:''' You're super not! You're so far below the strongest in the universe, it's almost funny!

* The BigBad of the Future Trunks Saga is a God formerly associated with a group who believes in guidance through inaction, and rebelled against them when they did nothing regarding the mortals' growing chaotic nature, thus sought after a forbidden power in order to enact the FinalSolution so they could reboot the universe in their own "perfect" image. [[spoiler:''Anime/PrettyCure'' fans would probably get a kick in realizing that the main heroes of ''Anime/StarTwinklePrettyCure'' are basically fighting Zamasu in all but name.]]

* When the Tournament of Power was first announced, a hoax about Gohan attaining a new white-haired Super Saiyan form became a meme anticipating the appearance of "Gohan Blanco". In a case of OlderThanYouThink, the infamous ''Webcomic/{{Dragon Ball AF|Toyble}}'' fan comic (which itself ironically took its name from a hoax about a new season of ''Dragon Ball''; the "AF" standing for "April Fools") had a Super Saiyan 5 form in which Goku takes on white hair for his transformation as well. While Gohan doesn't gain a new form in the Tournament, [[spoiler:[[https://i.imgur.com/r7fSGBA.jpg Goku's Mastered Ultra Instinct form]] is pretty much a white-haired Super Saiyan God. Introducing "Goku Blanco"!]]

* Commander Red wanted the Dragon Balls to wish himself taller due having been endlessly mocked for it, and for that he assembled the most powerful army on Earth. Frieza, who leads what used to be the most powerful army in the universe, eventually decides to find Earth's Dragon Balls to wish himself five centimeters taller after being mocked for it behind his back by some of his soldiers. Sounds familiar?

* Enma states that he sent Dabura to Heaven because he would have enjoyed Hell too much. The first ever appearance of Hell in the manga is revealed to look like an episode of the ''Series/{{Teletubbies}}'' had a baby with WesternAnimation/ATrollInCentralPark. ''Now'' his TastesLikeDiabetes schtick from the anime makes a lot more sense.

* The scene where Pilaf blows a kiss to Bulma in the Pilaf Saga becomes hilarious when his Japanese voice actor, Creator/ShigeruChiba, ends up voicing [[VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy another silly villain]] who has a huge amount of FoeYay[=/=]somewhat {{Yandere}}-esque traits towards his nemesis. And the villain's nemesis, [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Terra Branford]], has an alternate costume that gives her a slightly similar appearance to Bulma.[[note]]In case anyone's curious, the alternate costume was based on her field sprite in her original game.[[/note]]
