IDK thought that'd be a cool concept, like some guy is trying to change the past, but he can't get to the exact date he needs to, and so has to overshoot to ensure he doesn't pass it and has to deal with whatever time he shows up in.

    I can't remember if this is actually canon or if it's a throwaway line in the Abridged dub but I think Trunks' time machine in DBZ works like this. He shows up super early to Frieza and Cooler landing on Earth, and then shows up super late to the fight with the Androids.
