Kuragehime made the viewers laugh at how the characters were inserted into classic movies. The viewers normally do not take the OP seriously given the nature of the show. Also, each movie got max 10 seconds of footage copied out of a 1.5 hour movie (I'm using general numbers here)
DBKai is not a parody. They used the music for srsbsns highlighting of fight scenes and to create tension which was the same as the initial intention of the original pieces that it copied from. Timewise the pieces' main repeating motif was copied, which usually accounts for more than half the piece.
Additionally, how obviously was the Kuragehime OP citing its sources, and did the DBKai music do the same?
I think it's clear which case is fair use and which one isn't.
