Feature Synopsis

Long, long ago the people of the highly advanced Tsufru race lived in peace. One day, however, the Saiyans struck, and conquered their once peaceful world. Doctor Raichi, with the last of his strength, sent his “grudge-absorbing” Hacchi Hyack into space so that it may one day avenge his fallen people.

Decades later, Son Goku and Son Gohan arrive at Capsule Corp. A dark planet has arrived near Earth, launching barrel-shaped machines that are unleashing Destron Gas onto West City. Bulma calculates that it would take no more than seventy days for even strong guys like Goku and the other Saiyans to die. Vegeta says that the Tsufruians were the only ones that had the knowhow to handle the Destron Gas. Years earlier it had been Vegeta’s father, King Vegeta, who led the genocide of the Tsufruians. Trunks to believes that the new foe wants revenge upon the remaining Saiyans, which Vegeta confirms. Hearing this, Bulma begins working on an antidote immediately.

Later, Goku, Gohan, Trunks, Piccolo, and Vegeta are combing the skies of West City. Finally, they find one of the machines generating the Destron Gas. Vegeta launches a ki blast to destroy the machine; the generator, however, is protected by a powerful barrier. The generator spews out Destron Gas that takes the form of four of the Saiyans’ former foes; Freeza, Coola, Slug, and Tullece have been rematerialized! The gang is surprised by this turn of events, however Vegeta rationalizes that their powers have all grown considerably since their initial encounters. Freeza retorts, poking at Vegeta having grown an even bigger mouth. The battle commences and Goku is surprised by Coola’s increased power. Goku and friends are shocked to find that when they damage Freeza and company, they reform unaffected. What’s more, the Destron Gas is beginning to drain Goku and friends’ ki!! Bulma soon arrives, having developed a neutralizing agent. Dropping multiple capsules in the area, the neutralizing agent is unleashed and begins to clear up the Destron Gas. A capsule falls into the Destron Gas generating machine and stops the dispersing of more Destron Gas. With the Destron Gas cleared up, Goku and friends regain their strength. With one final push they destroy Freeza and his team who no longer have any Destron Gas to regenerate from. Freeza warns Goku not to underestimate the power of their grudges. After a quick chat with Kaiō, Goku teleports the gang to the lair of Dr. Raichi.

Dr. Raichi monologues about collecting the maximum amount of Grudge Energy to complete the ultimate warrior to carry out the Tsufruian’s revenge. Goku, Vegeta, Trunks, Gohan, and Piccolo confront Dr. Raichi, confirming he has returned as a ghost by the power of his Grudge Amplification Machine, known as Hacchi Hyack. Seeing that the Saiyans will not die quietly from the Destron Gas, the ghost of Dr. Raichi decides to finish them himself. Everyone tries to attack him, but Raichi is guarded by a mighty barrier. Powering up, Vegeta, Trunks, and Gohan manage to punch and kick cracks into Raichi’s barrier. For the finishing blow, Son Goku unleashes a Kamehameha that destroys the barrier for good. Vegeta takes this chance to destroy Raichi with his Final Flash.

Saying that Raichi is unbelievable for relying on the grudges of others, Goku is soured to find that Raichi lives on as pure grudge energy. Raichi gives his remaining power to the Hacchi Hyack machine, transforming it into its completed form. Kaiō comments that such a great power might be the end of his North Galaxy. Vegeta attacks first, but his Final Flash is no match for Hacchi Hyack’s increased power. With his Revenge Cannon, Hacchi Hyack manages to deal a great deal of damage to Vegeta.

Trunks finally manages to damage Hacchi Hyack, unwittingly revealing to Goku that Hacchi Hyack loses power when defending. Noting that Hacchi Hyack has more power than Broli, Goku resolves to beat him nonetheless. They soon realize that Hacchi Hyack takes fifteen seconds to charge his attack. Combing their finishing techniques, Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, Trunks, and Vegeta finally overcome Hacchi Hyack. Goku and Gohan return home, but Chi-Chi withholds their food for having noticeably gotten into a fight while they were gone.

Feature Notes

  • This feature was initially an exclusive bonus included with the Raging Blast 2 video game. It is presented in high definition on both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 game discs.
  • The story was based on the two-part “Official Visual Guides” released by Bandai in August 1993 entitled Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans, which served as a walkthrough for the Famicom video game of the same name. The footage was later re-used in 1994 for Bandai’s Dragon Ball Z Playdia video games, The True Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans.
  • It appears, based on the credits, that this feature was almost entirely Bandai Namco Game’s idea. With all of their staff listed first in the credits, it implies they simply hired Toei Animation to re-write and animate the feature for their video game.
  • The original story was written by Takao Koyama, the anime series organizer and main scenario writer, and was adapted by newcomer Hitoshi Tanaka from its original hour-long length to a shortened 30 minute feature. Although Hitoshi Tanaka is new to the Dragon Ball anime, he has written many episode scenarios for the popular anime One Piece.
  • The background music for the feature was composed by newcomer Hiroshi Takaki. This follows suit with the original “Official Visual Guides” where the music was composed by Keiju Ishikawa, who had never composed background music for the series up until that point. However, Ishikawa would go on to compose and arrange the second theme song, “We Gotta Power,” for the Dragon Ball Z TV series.
  • For those that pre-ordered the Japanese release early enough, Bandai would include a free character design and conceptual art pamphlet with the video game while supplies lasted.

Name Puns

Please note that none of the following name puns have been officially confirmed, unless specifically noted otherwise. These are merely educated assumptions of the creator’s intent.

  • The Tsufruians are the technologically advanced race that the Saiyans wiped out in order to take full control of Planet Vegeta. In contrast to the Saiyans, who are named for vegetables, the Tsufruians (ツフル人; Tsufuru-jin) name comes from the anagram of “fruits” (フルーツ; furūtsu). This further contrasts their differences, which essentially results in a war between fruits and vegetables.
  • Doctor Raichi gets his name from lychee, a subtropical fruit tree native to China. This is the same thing that the fake Namekian Raichi is named after, although the two characters’ names are spelled slightly differently in Japanese, with the fake Namekian having an extended “i” sound on the end of his name (ライチー; Raichī), which the doctor lacks (ライチ; Raichi). This makes the doctor’s name exactly the same as its namesake, while the fake Namekian’s is just slightly different.
  • Hacchi Hyack’s name most likely comes from yaoya (八百屋), “greengrocer”, a store that specializes in fruits and vegetables. The yao (八百) portion means “eight hundred”; normally 800 is read as happyaku, but yao is an alternative reading. 800 in Japanese is shorthand for “a whole lot”, and ya means “shop”, so in theory a yaoya would be a shop that sells all kinds of stuff, though in practice they focus on fruits and vegetables. When used together, 八百 is read as yao or happyaku, but 八 (8) separately is read as hachi while 百 (100) is read as hyaku. So, you can then see how hachi and hyaku could be altered into “Hacchi Hyack”, and a greengrocer fits in with the Tsufru fruit theme very well.
