[ History ] [ Synopsis ]

APPROXIMATE RUNNING TIME: 1 HOUR (60 MINUTES)

NOTE: This footage, while "based" on the storyline from the original NES game, is also directly used in the PlayDia versions of the video games. The screenies in the below synopsis are taken from the footage's inclusion on the second Japanese DBZ TV "Dragon Box" DVD boxset.

The feature begins with a myterious, shadowy figure huddled over tons of glowing red orbs, speaking of taking revenge. We don't yet know who this character is, but it can't go well for our heroes...!

A bunch of generic red monsters fly out of a castle (presumably where this figure is located)... and it's onwards to the heroes in question...

Out in the forest, a tree falls; Gohan is gathering firewood. Gohan brings a bunch of of sticks back to his father, but mentions that all the trees seem to be dying. Mr. Popo suddenly shows up out of nowhere, and says that the Destron Gas is responsible for destroying the forest and other living things. Even Goku would die in 70 days from it, as strong as he is! Our heroes take off, as Chi-Chi calls from inside the house, wondering when her husband and son will come in for the food.

Inside Capsule Corp., Bulma looks up "Destron Gas" on her computer, but comes up with no results. Dende (Earth's new Kami-sama) speaks telepathically to everyone, telling them that there are four places on Earth to look as the sources for this gas: Grand Apollon; in the desert of the Far West; Poco-Poco Volcano; and on the Ice Continent. Piccolo shows up, saying that since the old Kami-sama has become a part of him, he can "see" everything, and knows of Earth's dire situation. Suddenly, the monsters from the castle at the beginning show up! Goku turns Super Saiyan and attempts a Kamehameha, but it doesn't work! He tries a second time with the same result. Piccolo tries a Makankôsappô, and Gohan tries a Masenkô... no ki attacks are working! Apparently, the Destron Gas is also causing them not be able to focus their ki enough to use their attacks. Goku and the others use standard punches and kicks to defeat the enemies.

At Grand Apollon, Goku looks around, and finds some gas coming out of a rock. He breaks in to find a machine venting the Destron Gas. A series of ki blasts come from behind him, shot by an orange monster. Very upset and confused, Goku finds that his Kamehameha still won't work, so he kicks the monster down into a canyon and destroys the machine.

(overworld map, heading to the Desert in the Far West)

Gohan (as a Super Saiyan) is fighting a purple monster by the pyramids, but uses a flurry of quick attacks to easily defeat it, finishing him off with a Kamehameha.

With a one-handed ki ball, Gohan destroys the machine in the desert.. not a particularly difficult battle!

(overworld map, heading to Poco-Poco Volcano) Note that daizenshuu five (TV ANIMATION 2) incorrectly notes this as "Kopo Kopo Volcano" on page 200

A big purple monster tells Piccolo that he doesn't stand a chance, as the entire ground is littered with land mines. Of course, this doesn't faze Piccolo one bit as he simply flies up in the air. The monster jumps up after him, but falls and lands on the mines, which cause the entire island to explode. This, in turn, destroys the machine located there. Piccolo mutters that he didn't think anyone was more of an idiot than Mr. Satan!

(overworld map, heading to the Ice Continent)

On the Ice Continent, Gohan, Piccolo, and Goku all face a permanent wall of ice. A big monster appears yet again, but this time many more pop up out of the ground! They all begin to fight, and our heroes are surrounded. Vegeta shows up as a Super Saiyan, as does Trunks, who mentions that monsters just attacked Bulma and his baby-self. Our heroes all join together and beat the entire lot of monsters, ending with a giant explosion. As the dust clears, the heroes all stand smiling. But Dende tells everyone that there's now a fifth generator at Tongari Tower in the Western Metropolis!

Vegeta attemps to destroy the last machine (which is located outside on a ledge high atop a building), but a barrier protects it! A loud, commanding, and sarcastic voice comes from above... it's Freeza! Trunks, wide-eyed, says that he killed Freeza! More and more voices come in, all saying that the Saiyans will be killed by them. One by one, Coola, Tullece, and Slug appear. One by one they begin to float over and match up against each other: Gohan vs. Tullece, Trunks vs. Freeza, Goku vs. Coola, and Vegeta vs. Slug. Piccolo jumps in front of Vegeta, saying that he'll be the one to fight Slug, the disgrace of the Namekian race. Vegeta mentions that these villains will never be able to match up to the power of our heroes, who have all gotten significantly stronger since their last battles.The fighting begins!

Goku hits Coola, but Coola "blobs" away and appears behind him! The shadowy figure laughs to himself as the battles continue. The same thing happens to Trunks as Freeza blobs away, with Piccolo as Slug blobs away, and with Gohan as Tullece blobs away. Kaiô-sama telepathically tells Goku that these villains are not themselves; they're ghost warriors! Our heroes land giant ki blasts on each villain. Piccolo grabs Slug with both hands, extends his arms and jumps away as Gohan rushes in and whistles in Slug's face. Piccolo finishes with a ki blast, himself. Freeza says that this is the power of their rage... and it is far greater than our heroes anticipate! Freeza fades away. Kaiô-sama says that our heroes need to attack the true being, Dr. Raichii, who is a Tsufuruan. Vegeta explains who the Tsufuru are (the begins that originally inhabited Planet Vegeta with the Saiya, until the Saiya destroyed the Tsufuru and took it over). Kaiô-sama explains that while the Saiya were not an overly intelligent race, one day a Saiyan was born with great intellect and led a revolt against the Tsufuru (which happened to be Vegeta's father).

Kaiô-sama explains that Dr. Raichii is at the "Dark Planet." The narrator takes over and further explains that the ghost warriors keep coming back no matter what our heroes do... there's much more in store for them!

A recap of the last game is played as the narrator recounts the events thus far. In the time since the last game, our heroes have built a spaceship which is currently taking them to the Dark Planet.

They fly through an electrical storm, but get through it with a little help from Kaiô-sama (as explained in the text on-screen).

Our heroes have arrived, and a robot-being named "Goddogaadon" attacks Goku right away Making short work of Goddogaadon, Goku flies through him to obtain the victory.

Vegeta proclaims that Goku can have the "small-fry," but he will be the one to destroy Dr. Raichii!

Goku breaks into a giant room, and is followed by everyone else. Dr. Raichii appears, saying he will take his revenge on the Saiyans. The balls surrounding him begin to glow even more. There is a flashback to Planet Vegeta as the Saiya have become Ôzaru. Dr. Raichii mentions that he was attempting to amplify the Tsufuruans' hatred into a machine called "Hatchihyakku," which took off in a spaceship after he was killed. Hatchihyakku is the machine that created the ghost warriors. This means that Dr. Raichii is a ghost himself, too! Everyone rushes him, but Dr. Raichii puts up a type of barrier. Goku turns Super Saiyan, as does everyone else. The balls surrounding them glow faster and faster. Everyone attacks at once and breaks the barrier around Dr. Raichii. Vegeta uses his Final Flash to destroy Dr. Raichii. Gohan says that it's a shame a man with such great intellect was so set on revenge, rather than putting it to good use. Kaiô-sama says the last machine is destroyed, and a fun shot of everyone is shown as the end credits begin... and are interrupted!

Dr. Raichii is back?! A deep voice mutters about killing all the Saiya. Outside, funky colors begin to swirl around the castle. Kaiô-sama says that Hatchihyakku has collected the spite from within Dr. Raichii, and is growing in power. Vegeta mentions that now it's beginning to get a little interesting! Hatchihyakku appears, running in and punching Vegeta, and proceeds to quickly beat the daylights out of everyone else. Vegeta tries a Final Flash, but it is no good, and he is hit by a ki blast from Hatchihyakku. Goku and Gohan both attack, and are both knocked away. Piccolo saves Gohan from a blast, but ends up getting blasted, himself. Trunks and Gohan attack once more, but are both quickly beaten. Goku mutters to himself that Hatchihyakku may even be stronger than Broli! Goku counts to 15 and manages to dodge one of Hatchihyakku's attacks, but ends up getting hit afterwards.

Piccolo gives a senzu to Gohan, saying that there are three remaining, and to give them to everyone else. As Vegeta is being heavily attacked, Gohan gives senzu to Trunks. He gives one to Vegeta, as well, after he lands. Goku tells everyone to launch their attacks together, and begins to count to 15. Goku unleases a Super Kamehameha, and Trunks a Burning Attack, while Gohan and Vegeta launch generic ki attacks at Hatchihyakku at the 15 second mark. Hatchihyakku is blasted out of the castle, which begins to crumble. Goku uses Shunkan-Idô to teleport everyone out.

Back at Capsule Corp., everyone arrives. The narrator says that everything on Earth is back to life. Back at the Son household, Chi-Chi is still calling for them to come in for dinner!
