Ethan died at the beginning of RE7 when Jack Baker curb stomped him. The mold revived him, and he went on to kick ass for 2 whole games, despite being already dead.
Goku was dead at the time of the Bojack movie. He watched as Gohan was losing the fight and decided "Fuck it", instant transmissioned in from heaven, and gave Bojack one of the nastiest punches in all of Dragon Ball.
