Alternative Timeline[]

In Future Trunks' timeline, West City was destroyed by Future Androids 17 and 18. Under unknown circumstances, Future Bulma and Future Trunks survived. Afterwards, they were able to evade the androids by camouflaging themselves in a city that had already been destroyed. After Future Trunks returns, he destroys Future Android 17 and Future Android 18. By the time Future Cell shows up, a lot of West City had been rebuilt from the damage.

In Dragon Ball Super, several years after the events of the androids and Cell in the alternate timeline, Future West City appears again. It has now even further in ruins, with the sky constantly being dark. This is revealed to be the work of Goku Black.

Age ??? Timeline[]

On Earth from an Unknown Time period known only as Age ??? that is featured in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, West City is left in ruins after the Time Breakers had taken control of Earth. Towa and Mira apparently use it as their main base of operations as both they and their cohorts are often shown plotting their next moves within the ruins of the city in various cutscenes.

Upon arriving there in The Masked Saiyan Saga, Xeno Trunks' recognizes the city and realizes that he and the Future Warrior are on Earth when they follow Towa and Mira's past selves to Age ??? but was unsure of the exact time period. Later during the final battle with Towa and Mira, Xeno Trunks reveals that Earth in Age ??? is completely under Mira and Towa's tyrannical rule. It is unknown what happened to the city (or its timeline) after Final Form Mira was defeated and killed in Age ???.

To gain access to the City Hall, Gohan needs to get an Open Faced Club Sandwich at a restaurant named Big Mouth for Hercule, because he refuses to start the Hercule Day Parade unless he gets one. At the restaurant, the owner Floyd asks Gohan for the morning newspaper and a hot cup of Joe to start his day off. At the newspaper stand, an old woman named Liz tells Gohan that the owner (Clarence) ran off to the north part of the city to help out with the school bus crash. On the West City Highway, Gohan helps the bus driver Larry to find the four kids missing after the accident. Back at the newspaper stand, Clarence gives Gohan a newspaper for free to thank him for saving his son. Gohan gets an Open Faced Club in exchange for the newspaper and brings it to Hercule, but to finally get the parade start, Gohan has to find Hercule's theme song "Eyes of the Lion". As Cosmo does not have it in his Doctor Vinyl store, Gohan has to go to the antique store, West City Antiquities, located north of the city. There, the owner Merv gives Gohan the record for free because he cannot imagine making anyone pay for this terrible song. After the Hercule Day Parade, at the mayor's request, Piccolo and Gohan defeat King Triceratops in the Triceratops Jungle, they meet Cooler who tells them about his plan for revenge, they retrieve the key of the city stolen by Robert (the old man who really defeated the Warlord), and they rescue Carmen's husband who was kidnapped by the Warlord.

In order to protect the city from being destroyed, Bulma devised a method to capsulize an entire city in a single Capsule for safe keeping. As a result, the city was able to survive the invasion which was foiled by the intervention of the Kikoukenjutsu Sword School and remaining Dragon Team members (Gohan, Goten, Pan, Trunks, Krillin, & Tien).
