* Back during Super Buu-vs-Gotenks, after Piccolo trapped them in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Super Buu gets so angry he literally [[MakeMeWannaShout tears himself a hole in spacetime]], which he didn't expect to happen yet it allowed him to escape - a feat later replicated by [=SSJ3=] Gotenks, and again by Super Buu during his fight with Vegito. [[spoiler: Goku Black does a similar thing in context, channeling his anger at the mortals' disrespect and the gods allowing it, which creates a new [[SinisterScythe variant]] for his Aura Slide ability - swinging it rips a hole in dimensional space, complete with several effects. Goku Black muses that he himself doesn't know how he did that, or even explain what's happening, but still uses it for his own purposes]].

* When Vegeta challenges Frost after he's [[spoiler: caught cheating and turns to be EvilAllAlong,]] he says that he finds Frost's voice annoying. He says the same thing about Frieza after listening to one too many of Frieza's rants. It also fits as a CastingGag since Frieza and Frost are voiced by the same person.

** Although it isn't directly reference, Bulma mentions how baseball is the only thing Yamcha is good at and how he's the only one in the entire cast who knows how to play. This is because Yamcha was a professional baseball player in the ''Z'' anime.

--> '''Zamasu''': We mustn't allow evil to happen, master Gowasu. Evil is violence like that of the Babarians, and conceit like that of [[Character/DragonBallSonGoku Son Goku]], who would trade blows with the gods. Mortals use their god-given wisdom for evil, and spoil our beautiful world. The mortals who have gained wisdom are truly evil. Does this not strike you as half-hearted? '''What good are gods if they do not destroy evil?"'''''

* In Episode 65, we did get cameos involving the appearance of Android 8 in the mountains (from the original ''Dragon Ball'') shocked at the immense destruction and rampage that's taking place on Earth. Furthermore, original ''Dragon Ball'' character cameos (including #8) were also a thing in the later parts of ''Z''.
* After [[spoiler: Merged Zamasu]] face starts to mutate due to Goku's attack on him on episode 66, he screams to the sky and repeats the words he was talking with Gowasu in episode 55, about [[GodIsInept what good are gods that don't destroy evil]]. It reflects how far he has fallen on his BlackAndWhiteInsanity.

* In Episode 27, Trunks and Goten are told what happened during the battle with Frieza. Trunks says he would have just cut Freeza in two and makes a sword-swinging motion, referencing the Future Trunks timeline and his alternate self from the Cell arc, though later episodes would show that he's unaware of the other Trunks. He wonders why everyone thinks his response was so funny.

* Future Trunks notes that he can't feel Vegeta's energy when he transforms into a Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan. The same thing was said by Gohan and Krillin when Goku first went Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan and they thought it was Super Saiyan God. Trunks also notes that despite being unable to feel Vegeta's energy, he feels a lot of pressure, much like Vegeta when he first sense Whis and states that his energy felt empty yet powerful.

* Vegeta faces off against Toppo in Episode 126, the latter stating he cast aside everything for the sake of survival, including his beliefs about justice. Vegeta however refuses to do the same, and instead states that his affection for Bulma/Trunks/Bulla and Cabba, his Saiyan pride- those are things that make him who he is. A similar-yet-opposite example to when he willingly let himself be controlled by Babidi and discarded everything (other than his pride), with even similar dialogue and framing... and it ultimately ends with Vegeta using a Beyond Blue Final Explosion against Toppo's full power, preceded by a flashback to the original, although ''this time'' he managed not to die from it.

* For Episode 125, Frieza tries to handle Toppo's Energy of Destruction, repeatedly insisting that it's nothing and he won't be subdued even when it proves otherwise. He takes heavy damage but manages to come back anyway, with the same pose and one-eye-closed facial expression as when Goku hit him with the Spirit Bomb back on Namek.

* Goku's first fight with Jiren is essentially a WholePlotReference to his fight with Frieza on Namek: against a foe who is proven to be significantly stronger than everyone we've met, Goku is vastly outclassed and resorts to using the maximum power of the Kaioken and even the Spirit Bomb, only for them to fail. It takes him obtaining a new, never-seen-before form to stand a fighting chance, although in this instance it is still not enough.
