* On a similar vein, that this is a battle between timelines was eventually used in official content at least three times (''VideoGame/DragonBallLegends'', ''VideoGame/DragonBallFusions'' and ''Anime/SuperDragonBallHeroes'').

* In his match against Hirudegarn, Cell uses Piccolo's ability to turn himself into a giant in order to go toe-to-toe with the demon. Come ''Anime/DragonBallSuperSuperHero'', [[spoiler:the BigBad is a kaiju-sized clone of Cell called Cell Max. Fittingly, Piccolo uses his giant form in order to fight Cell Max on equal footing.]]

** Made even more hilarious in hindsight when you realize that in both versions of ''Super'', Shin and Kibito managed to separate after being fused via the Potara by asking Porunga to break the fusion apart, meaning that even if the fusion was permanent, Porunga could just revert Vegito back into Goku and Vegeta.

* Future Trunk's solution to the slow speed of Super Saiyan Grade 3 is to constantly switch between Grade 2 and Grade 3, only transforming right as he's about to attack. This is remarkably similar to how Goku and Vegeta solved the stamina issue with Super Saiyan Blue, with them constantly switching between Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan Blue, only using it when attacking or defending.

** U16's Vegito being seen as a benevolent god who has no equal in his universe comes off as hilarious since he would be little more than a flea compared to the Gods of Destruction their angels and the high tiers of ''Anime/DragonBallSuper''. And let's not even get into Zen'o, who can wipe out universes in the blink of an eye. Considering his personality though, that news would him extremely happy.

* Grand Supreme Kai in ''Dragon Ball Multiverse'' is shown to be an absolute joke, [[spoiler:most prominent during the Majin Rebellion where he mostly stands on the sidelines before getting pathetically killed by Majin Bra]]. ''Super'' reveals that Grand Supreme Kai had magic that was capable of sealing the planet eater Moro's powers away. Had it not come at the cost of his own divine powers, he would have likely defeated Buu.

* ''Multiverse''[='s=] Broly is a BaseBreakingCharacter due to the perception that he's a CreatorsPet, essentially being the "classic" version but ramped up even further until he can challenge Super Saiyan 3 Vegito. The movie ''Anime/DragonBallSuperBroly'' makes this hilarious all around, firstly because Akira Toriyama's version of the character is ''vastly'' more powerful than U20 Broly (his Super Saiyan form is stated by Goku to be '''stronger''' than Beerus), but also because Toriyama's reimagining of the character completely throws out the original "crazed berserker" portrayal that serves as the basis for Salagir's version, instead making him a kind-hearted wildman akin to Literature/{{Tarzan}}. Additionally, whereas Salagir's Broly is constantly increasing in raw power, Toriyama's Broly becomes stronger because he adapts to his opponents and learns how to fight them over time. [[spoiler:Finally, the movie ends with Goku actually befriending Broly, something that would be unimaginable with the original character or the ''Multiverse'' incarnation.]]

* In general, the high tiers of ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' like Beerus, Hit, Goku Black/Fusion Zamasu, Toppo, Kefla, Anilaza, Broly, Moro and especially Jiren could probably stomp the entire tournament outside of maybe Vegetto at his max power, U20 Broly, Gast, and Zen Buu. And even they wouldn't be able to hold a candle to the Angels, or god help them, Zen'o.

* Frieza's ButtMonkey status is particularly hilarious given the ''Anime/DragonBallZResurrectionF'' movie where he's Post-''Battle of Gods'' Goku's level. As in, ''Resurrection 'F''' Frieza would mop the floor with all but maybe two or three fighters in the tournament, being stronger than a Super Saiyan Blue Goku and Vegeta in terms of raw strength at the time of his resurrection. Even funnier since everyone in the web comic was shocked that King Cold [[spoiler: could become as strong as Perfect Cell]] and it took him decades to become that powerful. Frieza only took four months. Then supplemental material like the ''Heroes'' manga made Cooler even stronger than that with no explanation.

* Salagir stated that Goku and Vegeta haven't gotten much stronger since the Buu Saga despite twenty years passing and that Ultimate Gohan is way above them in terms of power. In the material from TheNewTens Goku and Vegeta took [[TookALevelInBadass several levels of badass]] since the Buu Saga, specifically becoming {{Physical God}}s, with Gohan falling behind - taking until the Tournament of Power to catch back up to Blue Goku, who can still pull ahead of Gohan with Kaioken. Still, that short time span shows Gohan can ''easily'' catch up if he was properly motivated. He is able to nearly ring to restrain Dyspo even after using a power up that made Golden Freeza unable to tough him in the anime and fight ''Kefla'' to a draw in the manga, proving him among the top five of Universe Seven's team.

* Also related to Frieza and his clan's ButtMonkey status, U6 has a GoodCounterpart ([[spoiler:[[BitchInSheepsClothing although we find out he's just as evil as Frieza]]]]) to Frieza in Frost. He's even ''stronger'' than Frieza even after he trained, although he lacks Frieza's golden transformation.

* U7 has a Super Namekian named Gast, originally Nail of U7, who fused with every other member of his race on Namek to beat Freeza before going on to beat Cell and Majin Buu too. In ''Super'' [[spoiler:the two Namekians of Universe 6, Saonel and Pirina, are revealed to be so strong because after they learned about the Tournament of Power and what was at stake, a massive amount of other Namekians volunteered to fuse with them and give them strength for the tournament. But rather than being on Super Vegito's levels, they're ''only'' relative to Ultimate Gohan in the ''Dragon Ball Super'' anime and they're weaklings who are tossed aside like trash by Kale in the ''Dragon Ball Super'' manga. The Moro Saga of ''Super'' makes this even more comical, as a warrior made up of all the fused Namekians in "our" universe is casually killed in seconds by Moro, who mocks them (him?) for the effort.]]

* How the multiverse works in the web series is vastly different from Toriyama's version. For one, the "multiverse" isn't just different timelines, they are their own physical universes with only the twin universes sharing the same planets and species. Splitting a timeline doesn't just split a universe, it splits ALL extant universes on that timeline as well. Second, there are only seven official timelines as of this writing (two that were created during the Future Trunks Saga by Beerus and Whis). Instead of endless timelines being created through 'what ifs', time is linear unless it is altered by outside forces, which causes a new timeline to be form(there were an infinite amount of timelines ''discovered'' after the events of the original manga run in ''Videogame/DragonBallOnline'', so this could still end up being true in the ''Dragon Ball Super'' continuities)
