* While ''Manga/EdensZero'' does reveal who its BigBad truly is halfway through, most of the series' individual story arcs consist of standalone villains who provide one-off obstacles for the heroes to overcome.
** The ''Norma'' arc has Sibir, a local gang leader who finds an android from the future, Pino, and tries to use her technology to get rich, forcing Rebecca and Shiki to stop him from messing with the future.
** The ''Skull Fairy'' arc switches the formula up. The ArcVillain appears to be Elsie Crimson, a SpacePirate who takes an interest in Shiki Granbell due to her own personal history with Shiki's grandfather, Demon King Ziggy. She captures Aqua Wing, Rebecca's ship, and says she intends to sell Shiki, Rebecca, Happy, Weisz, and Pino all off to human trafficers on the planet Guilst. Shiki challenges her to a fight for possession of her ship, which she accepts. But in a twist, it's not only revealed that [[ActuallyADoomBot the Elsie that fought Shiki was just a copy]], but that Elsie [[GoodAllAlong never planned to harm the heroes to begin with and always intended to give the ship to Shiki]], [[{{Troll}} she just enjoyed making them uncomfortable]] and didn't think it'd be as fun if she just handed it over to them. That ship in question was not the real Skull Fairy, but instead [[TitleDrop Edens Zero]] itself, Ziggy's ship which he tasked Elsie with giving to Shiki. This puts her firmly in the camp of AloofAlly rather than a villain, AmbiguouslyEvil though she may still be.
** The ''Guilst'' arc adds another twist to the formula. Illega, a FatBastard who prides himself as TheCollector of beautiful women, commissions the kidnapping of Rebecca Bluegarden, but he is a NonActionBigBad who's barely even a danger to normal people, let alone those who use Ether Gear, and instead it's [[DrunkWithPower Fake Sister]], an identity thief hired by Illega to kidnap Rebecca, who serves as TheHeavy due to her connection to the real Sister Ivry, who Shiki and Rebecca are searching for due to Ivry's connection to the Edens Zero.

* Pretty much every BigBad in ''Franchise/DragonBall'', who also tend to lend their names to the arcs they're featured in.
** For ''Manga/DragonBall'':
*** The first few arcs lacked any ArcVillain, instead having [[MonsterOfTheWeek no villain last for more than a few chapters]]. The Pilaf gang come the closest in the first arc, [[AdaptationExpansion but only in the anime]], where they appear early and have a larger role than in the manga, where they're just more BitPartBadGuys who show up at the end. The second arc is a tournament setting with NoAntagonist, and the various opponents within it are at worst [[JerkAss jerks]], and in any case only get brief focus. The third arc adds a major antagonistic organization for the first time in the form of the Red Ribbon Army, led by Commander Red, but even he doesn't properly qualify as the arc's main villain; Goku never meets him (he's killed by his own subordinate instead), he does not incite the initial conflict, Goku only comes into conflict with his forces incidentally (with his sub-commanders usually serving as the MonsterOfTheWeek of Goku's latest adventure), Goku encounters threats other than his forces like the Pirate Robot (he's simply the most prominent), and the arc continues after he's dead.
*** 22nd Tournament Arc: the Crane Hermit, being the one who is attempting to lead Tenshinhan and Chaozu down the path of evil and who himself tries to cheat and murder his rivals, going a bit beyond the OpposingSportsTeam of the 21st tournament. Tenshinhan is the strongest antagonist, but he's not really villainous (beyond being a huge jerk) undergoes a de facto HeelFaceTurn before the arc is even over.
*** Piccolo Daimao Arc: Piccolo Daimao (the Great Demon King) is the first of many straight and unambiguous arc villains that would later characterize the series. The conflict is incited by him being [[SealedEvilInACan awakened]] to conquer the world, all the secondary antagonists are his minions, he plunges the planet into chaos, and the arc ends with his climactic defeat.
*** 23rd Tournament Arc: Piccolo Jr., the son/reincarnation of Daimao out to kill Goku in the tournament.
** For ''Anime/DragonBallZ'':
*** Saiyan Arc: Vegeta, as the leader and strongest member of the Saiyan PowerTrio of himself, Nappa, and Raditz, who come to Earth to conquer it and punish the "traitor" Kakarot/Goku.
*** Namek Arc: Frieza, a GalacticConqueror space pirate who raids Namek to obtain its Dragon Balls in hopes of gaining immortality to allow him to rule forever. Vegeta acts as a secondary antagonist and third faction in his own right, but every other villain in this arc reports to him. After this, he appears in two more arcs and two more movies.
*** Garlic Jr. Arc: Garlic Jr., in this filler arc exclusive to the original anime. He turns nearly all of Earth's population into vampires and seeks to wish his malevolent father Garlic back to life to rule over the people.
*** Android Arc: Initially Androids 19 and 20, before being replaced by 16, 17, and 18 thanks to ExecutiveMeddling. 19 and 20 are pure evil, and 20 is [[spoiler:Dr. Gero himself]], then 17, 18, and 16, while far less sinister, are more powerful than even Super Saiyan Vegeta and seek to kill Goku.
*** Cell Arc: After some more ExecutiveMeddling, Cell replaces 16, 17, and 18 and initiates this arc. Not only does he seek to absorb 17 and 18 to become complete, but unlike them, he massacres innocents, and thus is much more of a threat, especially when [[spoiler: he successfully absorbs 17 and 18, not only removing them from play for the remainder of his arc, but achieving his perfection]]. His arc lasts much longer than that of any of the other androids. Is a threat on an intergalactic level, but fortunately died before he left Earth.
*** Buu Arc: Initially has none until Babidi shows up, who is then usurped by Buu, [[ItMakesSenseInContext who is then usurped by his evil, pure form]]. Babidi's grand scheme is to release Majin Buu, and initially commands him to kill innocents and destroy cities until [[spoiler: Buu kills him]], after which Buu causes destruction on his own, then Buu casts off his evil side who absorbs him and becomes Super Buu, a much more malevolent threat, eliminating Earth's population and even [[spoiler: [[EarthShatteringKaboom blowing up the earth]].]] Neither have connections to previous villains, but Buu serves as the final villain of both the ''Z'' anime/movies and the original manga run.
** For ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'':
*** ''[[Anime/DragonBallZBattleOfGods Battle of Gods]]'' Saga: Beerus is the first primary antagonist in the series. He is far more powerful then the entire cast and not even Super Saiyan God Goku can beat him. However, he's not really villainous, just sinister and short-tempered, and ends up becoming an erstwhile ally to Goku and friends.
%%*** ''[[Anime/DragonBallZResurrectionF Resurrection of 'F']]'' Saga: Frieza (again).
%%*** Champa Saga: Champa, [[TheUnfought though rather than fighting directly]] he instigates a tournament that would see Earth being transported to Universe 6 if the heroes lose.
*** Future Trunks Saga: Zamasu. While the arc has multiple antagonists, all of them are AlternateTimeline versions of Zamasu himself.
*** Universe Survival Saga: another tournament arc with effectively NoAntagonist, but Jiren the Grey is the closest to this trope since he's the single most powerful character in the tournament (and potentially the most powerful character in ''Manga/DragonBall'' canon besides Zeno) and he stands in the way of Universe 7's survival. However, he's not villainous at all and doesn't have any specific grudge against Goku or his friends, he's just fighting because the alternative is his universe and everyone from it being erased from existence.
*** Also for Universe Survival Saga: [[TopGod Zeno]] can be considered this as he's the cause for the conflict in the first place and is feared by almost everyone for his [[RealityWarper universe-altering]] abilities when displeased.
** For ''Manga/DragonBall'':
*** The first few arcs lacked any ArcVillain, instead having [[MonsterOfTheWeek no villain last for more than a few chapters]].

However, he's not villainous at all and doesn't have any specific grudge against Goku or his friends, he's just fighting because the alternative is his universe and everyone from it being erased from existence.
*** Also for Universe Survival Saga: [[TopGod Zeno]] can be considered this as he's the cause for the conflict in the first place and is feared by almost everyone for his [[RealityWarper universe-altering]] abilities when displeased.
