Cha La Head Cha La Third Version in Budokai 1?

Post by funrush » Thu Nov 24, 2011 2:10 pm

I was watching through some Budokai playthroughs when I came across something that surprised me. Did anyone else not notice until now that they created the third animation of Head Cha-La in Budokai 1? Here's a video beginning where the third version stuff starts: http://youtu.be/4Qt6DpTlOh8?t=44s

Wow, I played this game so much but I didn't know that. Maybe I just forgot it.

Interesting and it does look nice, bummer they used Rock the Dragon but it's still better than the rock/techno opening from FUNi DBZ episodes used to have.

Great finding, Funrush. Thanks!

This is why you don't skip the intro, lol. I saw this so many times when I originally played it.

At least we got Japanese voices.

Not only that, there weren't alternate openings, when you began a new arc. Instead it went straight to the narration.

This is only tangentially related, but out of all of the times I've seen that variation of the opening, this is the first time that I've realized that that face is Gero's, and that the wire hand represents the androids. I don't know why that never clicked before.

I feel so dumb right now. --;

You mean that was used to replace the opening? In the Japanese version it plays after you sit at the title screen for too long.
