10 Insane Easter Eggs in Dragon Ball Z Games! (Tenkaichi 3,Budokai 3) 

That glasses one got me really surprised. Not many devs would program a detail that small just for the sake of consistency with a mechanic many either wouldn't notice or run into at all.

Fans: "Stop making fun of Yamcha! He's not a meme!" The Video Games: "Never!"

Here's a detail I think you will enjoy checking out. In the Dragon World mode in Budokai 3, all the locations on all maps are almost 100% accurate to the anime in terms of scale, distance, and area on the map. Especially the Namek map as it has all the destruction and battle damge that was made during the fights in the anime. (e.g. The house that Gohan knocks Dodria into can be seen, as well as the rock formation that Frieza was chasing Krillen through.)

Regarding Ginyu's Body Change: In FighterZ, it properly swaps bodies with the opponent. You can't inflict self-damage at will, but when you perform the Body Change input, you can hold down the Super button to have Ginyu punch himself right before doing the change, taking a chunk off his own (soon to be the opponent's) life bar.

I believe SS2 Trunks was just a game exclusive thing and the anime turned it into a reality. Just like the Final Kamehameha for Vegito

A detail I like in Tenkaichi 3 is it's references to the anime represented through basic combat. For example, if you use Early Piccolo, jump, and then hold the attack button he'll do a flipping double knee attack in the same motion he used on Goku in Dragon Ball. And it would make sense for "early" Piccolo to have it.

One small correction:(I hate to be like one of those people who corrects people but...)the only member of bardock's squad to be in bt2 and bt3 fasha/seripa for unknown reasons.

I feel Trunks has Super Saiyan 2 because they weren't going to make Ascended Saiyan a form but wanted to give him a power up.

The fact that they put so many little details in Tenkaichi 3 which was a PS2 game is why I loved that game so much. I hope they give Tenkaichi 4 the same love they gave Tenkaichi 3

This series is a gem. Please make more of these!

Another really cool detail in tenkaichi 3 is during some story missions if you defeat characters earlier than you're supposed to the mission completes early like in the Frieza saga when you play as Frieza to fight everyone if you defeat Vegeta at the beginning before pressing the progress button the mission ends and has an alternate ending cutscene and still counts the mission as complete. Similarly if you defeat a single story boss with a different unintended character an alternate ending will play as well like in the Saiyan saga if Tien or Chiaotzu defeats Nappa the end cutscene is different

The reason they don't allow you to use techniques of switched characters is due to the fact that when he got Goku's body he couldn't even use half of his strength or moves for that manner

There’s one Easter Egg that everyone’s missing. I don’t think I’ve seen any Budokai Easter Egg video covering it. In some instances in Budokai 3, when Vegeta performs his Final Flash, the beam planet destruction cutscene shows the ocean water being lifted as the Final Flash is being fired out of the planet. This is not only faithful to when Vegeta used the Final Flash in the anime, but it’s also the only Beam Planet Destruction cutscene to do so. It’s entirely present in the HD Collection. In the PS2 version I’m not sure how to trigger it. I remember it being a thing when I played it as a kid, but when I watch PS2 gameplay footage of Vegeta’s Final Flash on RU-vid, some people’s have it, some don’t. I also have a theory the Super Saiyan 2 Trunks in the Budokai games (For anyone reading this about to say Trunks went SS2 in Super, do remember that these games were made in 2003 and 2004. That’s a whole decade before Dragon Ball Super was even conceived). My take is that they used Super Saiyan 2 in place of the Super Trunks/USS form. Since Budokai 2 covered the Buu Saga, nobody was using the USS form anymore (Vegeta included because he regularly uses SS1 and SS2 in the Buu saga). So I think rather than giving Trunks his own unique USS form where they’d have to code new slots/stat boosts/new model for the form, it was more convenient to just give him Super Saiyan 2. Like Gohan and Vegeta, his SS2 model is exactly the same as his SS1 model. The only difference is that they basically just added the lightning aura on. Even his Super Saiyan 2 mugshot in his Budokai 2 health bar looks more like USS than SS2. So yeah I think it’s definitely a convenient stand-in to make it easier on the devs.

3:40, in the first Tenkaichi game, you do actually swap bodies with the enemy character. Don't know why they changed this for Ginyu in Bt2 and Bt3

The character customization in Budokai Tenkaichi 3 radically and dynamically changes the game, and I'm surprised so few people played with it. I don't know if I ever play with or against a non-customized character anymore. The fights are longer, better, more intense. All around it's just more fun

So, in the Xenoverse games, Body Swap actually _does_ swap characters with your opponent. AND it's a CAC move in XV2. And body swap builds are actually meta - what you do is make a small male majin with no stat boosts, give him body swap and a bunch of useless joke moves, let your opponent beat him down a bunch and then swap when you're low on health.

Funnily, Yamcha when dying to the Saibaimen he does his iconic pose rather the usual poses. Are there any more fun details on quest/story mode on Tenkaichi 3 by beating/losing some fights as a what if? I loved those you did in the other video, I even try to actively search too, but some are so hard to do or tedious. (Say, the Nappa vs Z-fighters one)

0:16 your voice went in sync with Gohan, that was so satisfying

Wow I really wish they'd incorporate details like that in games more often. The sunglasses thing is something I never would have even thought to test. Wish I'd known that as a kid lol.

2:45 yamchaa nooo 😂

I'm pretty sure @5:01 孫悟飯じいさん is Grandpa son Gohan. Thanks for uploading this video showing Easter eggs and references.

It's funny you did forget Fasha she is the only character to this very day he playable in anything. Side games or gets referenced in a lot of other games. Like her armour in Xenoverse her hairstyle and or moves lol. It's cool she still gets some love to this day. Even though she showed up once within the series. 1. In the Bardock special. But the cool thing is she got a background cameo in dragon ball super Broly's movie when they meet Frieza for the first time.

Good ol days & a straight classic. There will never be another one like this!

I believe the Trunks SSJ2 thing is because, Trunks went to SSJ Grade 3, which was a HUGE difference to the classic SSJ. But the Devs couldn't (or didn't want to) change his playstyle, since this Trunks didn't use his sword or couldn't be that fast.

Please do more videos like this. They are so interesting and nostalgic. I've been feeling real bad lately but oddly those videos cheered me up, reminded me of the good days. Thank you

As a long time DBZ fan, thank you for making creative and interesting content for the games!

1:34 you can actually get inside the kame house: the tutorial is up on youtube basically you dash attack with LSSJ Broly on the front door and after a few tries, you should be able to get inside!

I used to use Yajirobe with the attack and flight buffs on budokai tenkaichi 3 was actually pretty fun cause he used a sword same with Tapion

This is why I love these series of games, playing them as a kid back when they released, of course I only cared about the combat and transformations but after really being able to comprehend the series of Dragon Ball and playing these games with that knowledge and seeing these little details the devs included is amazing considering a lot of them were things people wouldn’t notice initially such as the Kame house one and to think they did all this with PS2 games. Both Dimps and Spike were perfect DB game developers because you could tell they genuinely understood and loved the source material and weren’t just trying to make a quick buck off of Dragon Ball’s rising popularity at that time

0:24 -"Whats wrong?!" -"Nothing"

I remember being able to clip into Kame House in BT3. You had to position the opponent just right, play as LSSJ Broly, and if you ran at the corner, you’d phase through the wall and be in Kame House.

4:11 fun fact in budokai tenkaichi 1. He can actually just change body with the opponent like the other games

Hope you enjoy this one!😁 Thank you so much for the amazing support during the past few days

not everything needs fo follow canon on a 1:1 scale, like in budokai 2, buu have 4 more forms that never appeard anywhere else, i thing this is just a cool thing the devs added, after all this is game and it should be a fun, btw im suprised on how good your videos are, im loving it keep it up :>

I love that you use the supreme kai's theme for unexplained stuff! I do wish Bardocks gang was in part 2 especially since Fasha ended up being in 3 anyway, another great vid!! 🙌

Fun fact: the Japanese @5:04 above Tora actually says Grandpa Gohan so probs a placeholder. I remember them using Nappa for the Tenkaichi 2 story mode - I guess they really didn't want to go to the trouble of making another one-time model?

The series is very interesting, keep it up bro 🔥🔥

One that I like, is in raging blast 1. Super saiyan hair has that yellow glow, but if you get hit or are knocked down or aren’t charging, it’s that bleach white like from the buu saga

0:56 I think Super Saiyan 2 Trunks is a sort of placeholder for Ascended and Ultra SS, since developer didn't make them in Budokai 3, proffo could be that in story mode both Vegeta and Trunks use SSJ4 against Cell.

You got yourself an interesting series here. I'd love to see more details and secrets in other DBZ games.

Something worth noting is that in Tenkaichi 3, if you level a character all the way to the top of the ladder the final, strongest opponent you’ll face in the end is surprisingly Krillin. Seems the little guy at least gets some respect in this regard.

Odd info, but Cui and Freeza have unique pieces of dialogue for Majin Vegeta. "W-What have you done!?!" For Cui And "I must say, you've looked better Vegeta" for Freeza. It's absolutely bizarre that Cui of all characters would have dialogue for Majin Vegeta, when Dodoria and Zarbon do not l.

Hey man, I just wanted to let you know that you are doing a really great job with this videos. The quality and content are just amazing. You have a lot of talent, there are many videos like that on YT but no one has the same quality and the capacity of talking clearly like you. You have my total support, I am a huge dbz fan and I just can appreciate that (even if I already knew them, but whatever) keep going! It's amazing how this games were so damn iconic and great, uch great they were!!

Its nice to see videos still being made about this game

Just to add a little to the the Ginyu Easter Egg, the character you change into will still taunt and pose like Ginyu when idling!

5:18 they're playable in legends, dokkan, and dragon ball heroes

Bro I love this series, it is interesting and full of curiosities. it also reminds me of my childhood with budokai games. Keep it up!👍👍

Keep it going man!! I’m so in love with this series!!! Literally made me boot back up my ps2 !!

5:26 dragon ball legends has entered the chat

I always figured they added Super Saiyan 2 for Trunks as a replacement for the buff form.

Personally i love your voice combined with the video. Its nice and clear to listen to

Your channel and content are amazing, keep it up.

Very fun to watch, more pls!

That type of content never dies. Unironically great

I enjoyed the video it was a interesting to learn some things or new details I didn’t hear of before.

What is the song playing at 2:13? It unlocked a childhood memory 😮

Love this content bro. I really do. Keep up the great work brotha!!!

We need more of these please I absolutely love these videos

Here’s something interesting. In the Budokai games, when Cell fights against Teen Gohan, he uses his Perfect Form voice instead of his base form voice in the intro dialogue. Quite an oddity really

Last thing about the Super Saiyan 2 Trunks debacle (I promise). In Budokai 3, when characters transform, they either just grunt, yell, or they say a quick quote. Usually when they say a quote, it’s actually a direct yet subtle reference to when they actually transformed in the series. It’s a nice little touch by the devs. Examples: -SS4 Goku: “I’m stronger this time.” -SS Vegeta: “Prepare yourself!” -SS2 Teen Gohan: “I won’t forgive you!” -Ultimate Gohan: “You can’t win!” -SS3 Gotenks: “The mack-daddy of justice!” -Unlock Potential Krillin: “That’s more like it!” -Sync with Nail Piccolo: “Let’s do this!” -100% Full Power Frieza: “Here’s my full power.” -Super Perfect Cell: “Even more perfect!” SS2 Trunks has a quote. He shouts, “Come on!” after he transforms to SS2. Even if it’s not that profound of a quote, the devs put in the extra effort to give him that instead of a random grunt or wail. So what that probably means his that his SS2 form is indeed directly referencing something. Whether it’s a reference to his USS or not, we may never know.

Cool videos man, dbz bt3 is one of my childhoods favorite games subbed

Really love these kind of videos. Wonder if these details are in newer games.

love the videosbro keep it up also can you do dragon ball tag team psp

I wonder what would happen if, as Ginyu, you'd body change to Yamcha and a Saibaman exploded.

Increíble, no hablo inglés y sin embargo me quedé viendo el video de principio a fin. Buen trabajo, bro

Keep it up man, amazing video!

1:26 It´s just a way to simplify dainidankai and dansandankai forms

Hold up at 5:44 I see a color palette swap of one of coolers men standing behind Bardock! That is comedy! Edit: I also now spotted a couple of yellow vegetas as well!

Amazing man keep going !

Keep making these, they rock!

0:54 in the manga in trunks' future after coming back from the present there was a buu arc and he unlocked ssj2

In terms of Ginyus body swap, I believe in DragonBall Z Infinite World Ginyu will actually swap both bodies and health bars with your opponent, meaning you could keep getting beat up until you are ready to cheese your opponent for an easy win

Goku gettin that “special treatment” in the thumbnail

. Amazing video man

When old games are better then the new ones

1:50 This seems really weird. Why would Roshi have a picture of himself in his TV? Perhaps the original japanese version of the game has a picture of a sexy woman there or something, and they put Roshi's face to censor it. Maybe you should check the japanese version of the game to see if there's another easter egg there.

I Love how the old dbz Games were Made.....it was so much Love in my childhood i didnt even realize Till your Videos ,so thanks for that

These videos are awesome. Keep it up!😎

2:59: lol

Future Trunks going SS2 is cannon, he does so in his continuation story after returning to his own timeline after the defeat of Perfect Form Cell in the main timeline, his ascension to SS2 happens in his version of the "future" Buu Saga where he defeats both Dabura and Babidi with some assistance from the Supreme Kai, this story is retold in Dragon Ball Z Kakarot in the Warrior of Hope dlc but has weirdly enough never been retold anywhere else despite being pretty old by now, we do however get a few glimpses of it in Dragon Ball Super when Future Trunks returns to the main timeline.

A bit unrelated but it reminds me of the Ranma 1/2 PSX game. In that game you get hot or cold water randomly which changes the characters according to their curse. But if one of the character doesn't know that the other is cursed (Like with Akane and Ryouga) the water won't appear for that character and they won't transform.

Appreciate the work!!! More please!!!!

I want you to mention how Tenikaichi 2 introduced the Oozaru forms for Raditz, Nappa and Turles. And 3 did the same with king Vegeta's (at least in his og armor - since his oozaru form technically debuted in GT, but it looked like any other naked Oozaru) Some of the sickest forms ever, especially for people like me, who grew up with Tenikaichi 2 and 3, and for whom giant characters always left a huge impression (seriously, imagine playing as kid Gohan, and taking on one of the side missions in Tenikaichi 2's story mode, and who do you have to face? 2 giant gorillas... not 1, 2). And as we know, this info is relevant not only because those forms were specifically made for that game, but also because Oozaru Nappa was brought back at full force for Xenoverse 1 and 2, so it's easy to tell to the newbies that that form is older than they may think. ... Yes, I know of db heroes, but that game took quite a loooooooong time to come to the west.

2:06 ayo why he got blue hair

These videos are soooo good. I love the games. Keep on going 🙌

The details in these games are amazing!

3:30 Yajirobe is one of the most broken character in this game.

I personally like Tenkaichi 2 ginyu lot more cuz he actually swap body with the opponent and can use all the skill the opponent have

loved this

That was really AEWSOME

ssj2 trunks first appeared in the "boo saga" in the future timeline, after (as i can remember) dabura killed the supreme kai

Ssj 2 trunks is ssj 2 because thats the form he used against majin buu in his timeline. Its in the manga

I want to see more haha Love the videos

Shot out to you for using the Tekken beach music. So good

Trunks was given Super Saiyan 2 in the game for asset purposes. It’s supposed to represent his Grade 3 state like in the later games. I know he had it in Budokai 1 but those models and systems were outdated so his ascended form might just be one they didn’t recreate so they gave him the aura and slapped a 2 on it like Kamehameha x10 just being a Super Kamehameha in Budokai Tenkaichi 1.

Great video man!

Please keep making these !

Wait, people are (still) playing it competitively? :D Great video, you got me hyped into trying it again haha!

Another feature of BT3 is if you have Halo equipped in the character customise section. Goku, Vegeta and Gogeta will actually have a halo!

This series is very very good
