* ConvenientlyEmptyBuilding: Generally averted in the uncensored versions. The heroes often try to lure the villains out of crowded areas and into empty ones in order to minimize civilian casualties, and the death toll tends to be pretty massive regardless. The closest it got to this was in the Buu saga, where the fight between Gotenks and Fat Buu does destroy a lot of empty buildings...which were empty because almost all of humanity had been killed by that point anyway. Of course, [[DeathIsCheap a lot of the civilian deaths do end up being undone with the dragon balls]], but not all of them. As for the censored dubs...
** In the original American syndicated dub, Vegeta says "Too bad it's Sunday, those buildings would have been filled up tomorrow!" after he and Nappa utterly destroy some real estate upon landing in the middle of a crowded city. How he knew it was Sunday, or why the buildings would be empty on a Sunday is never addressed.
** Minutes after landing Nappa decides to vaporize a large portion of the city they are in. We are later told by a reporter that the entire portion of the city had somehow been evacuated before it was destroyed. Despite the fact that hundreds of people were gathered around the impact crater ''seconds'' before the attack.
** Still later, when reporters are filming Nappa's fight with the heroes, he turns and blows up one of the news choppers. The dub helpfully adds in one of the reporters shouting, [[NobodyCanDie "He blew up the cargo robot!"]]
** In the Android saga, this was going to be averted by the heroes suggesting to leave the city and fight Android 19 and 20 elsewhere. It is the subverted with Android 20 deciding that destroying the city and everyone in it would give the fighters a place with no people.

* {{Filler}}: ''Dragon Ball Z'' is one of the most notorious animes for this by stretching out battles because the manga hadn't concluded them yet. And we mean ''stretching them out''. An example is the Frieza Saga. There's Namek's Destruction. Five minutes to go, Frieza says. Five episodes later - "...Two more minutes!..." Two Episodes later - "Only one minute to go!...". ''Two more episodes'' later -- Frieza's defeated. One episode later -- Finally the planet goes Kaboom...and Goku escapes. '''Ten Full Episodes'''. Interestingly, despite stretching out fights, unlike most modern anime, there's only one filler arc, the Garlic Jr. Saga.

Much of ''Anime/DragonballZKai'' was about condensing the repetitive and prolonged combat, three-episode fights would be resolved in one with very little story content lost.
