11 Incredible Secrets in Dragon Ball Z Games! (Budokai 3,Tenkaichi 3) 

I was thinking about featuring DBZ games from the XBOX 360/PS3 era alongside the regular PS2 DBZ games. Would you guys like that? Also sorry for not uploading yesterday, I messed something up with the editing, the videos was originally supposed to be 10 mins. On the bright side, all the cut content from this video will be added to the next, so it'll be much longer😁

The real reason Cell can use the spirit bomb is because he says "give me that STUPID energy". Stupid energy is found in abundance on earth.

I think Cell's spirit bomb is meant to be an evil version of the technique where he gathers negative energy, which is why he demands instead of asking for the planet's energy

Funny thing is: the last easter egg you showed in the video with Fasha was the one i got when i played the game for the first time. I realised that Zarbon took less damage, indicating that i was not meant to win, but stubborn young me was like "Screw this! im not losing to this guy!" and beat the hell out of him. I legit did not know that this was a hidden ending for this "what if" scenario.

what I like about Tenkaichi 3 is that in the story mode, you don't need to press R3 to to finish the battle,, you can finish the normal way, sometimes it's the normal ending, sometimes it's a cut to black, but in certain fights, in-between certain events, you can defeat your enemy in non-cannon ways and the characters will have a little commentary on what just happened, like if you defeat Raddits without killing Goku

BT3 actually has tons of small cutscenes for battles you were not supposed to win/lose but manage to. I remember one in Nameek that you plays as Frieza, and if you lose against Gohan, Vegeta starts talking how he can't believe that a kid is the legendary Super Saiyan. It's hilarious.

Cell states in both the manga and anime, during his first encounter with piccolo that he’s able to do spirit bomb if he wants. We never actually see him do it, but I believe most of these games take Cell at his word.

Fasha has better story in that small scene than a lot of video game characters who’ve had a lot more scenes

Damn that Fasha part was amazing, they really made her a character back then. Too bad they don't include such characters in recent games.

The one with Fasha hits hard and really shows that Bardock really care about Goku, deeply and probably, if his soul was't recycled yet, he still looking all that his son have accomplished, with great pride.

2:02 Ah yes, my favorite Cell quote, I see you are a man of culture also.

The fact that Arale can even break giant character super armor is just awesome

I don't know if this is well known or not, Devilman's ultimate attack in the show did damage depending on the level of evil in the opponents heart, this is reflected on the game, if you use it on someone like Kid Goku it barely scratches him (just like it did in the show) however if you use it on Pure evil buu (The slender gray one) it fucking destroys him. That's a really nice level of detail

Fun fact: Halo effect also works on the other Z-Warriors. It works on Tien, Yamcha, Krillin, Chaotzu and Piccolo. In fact, im pretty sure it works on any non-evil character that has died at least once in the series. Does not work on evil characters or Hercule. It is not limited to only Goku and Vegeta

You likely know or have mentioned this one, but in Budokai Tenkaichi 3, Devilman's Ultimate Attack, Devilmight Beam damage varieates according to who is used with. For example, the highest damage output its done agaisnt Final Form Janemba, who suffer 30000 of damage, while the lowest is shared among Goku(all base forms, transformations suffer from 1500 to 1650), Goten, Kid Chichi, #8, Nam and Arale who all suffer 0 damage. This is a nod to a quirk of the Devilmight Beam, as when he used it agaisnt Goku in OG Dragon Ball it didnt worked causehe had a pure heart.

The story mission where Kid Goku fights Arale is one of the hardest fights in BT3😂

Would spend hours as a kid matching up different characters just to hear every unique battle opening and end. It's a small detail but makes every fight worth it.

The cool thing in dbzbt3 is no matter what character you win a fight in the story mode they have all their own special dialogue. The kid buu one where’s he really tanky because goku is suppose to use the spirit bomb to kill him is one example. It’s so difficult to beat him with hercule, but you get a dialogue where they are shock that he beat kid buu. Tried it when I was younger to see if each had dialogue and they do. Nice detail the devs put there too.

Cell has stated in the anime that can perform the Spirit Bomb, but at no point does he use it. This is likely because of how long it takes to put together a Spirit Bomb and the fact that if the Spirit Bomb is deflected or redirected (like how Gohan did to Vegeta) towards Cell he'll be in big trouble since he is evil. So Cell can use the Spirit Bomb, but doesn't use it because of its slow build time and danger is poses to himself should his opponent manage to deflect it.

I believe I've read that the reason Future Gohan rarely has one arm is that in Japan, there are some issues relating to showing that sort of thing in games. Essentially, the ratings board over there considers it a form of dismemberment. You can also see it with Frieza, where you rarely ever see him get cut in half (though you do see him without his tail sometimes; the ratings board is more favorable to an appendage people don't normally have, I guess). DBZ Sagas was able to get away with it because it was made in America.

Another interesting detail is that when you try to fuse 2 characters the health bar depends on the health these characters had before you performed the fusion.

Here's one I haven't seen anybody mention. In Tenkaichi 3 if you make a tag-team of Spopovich and Babidi you can power up "Babidi's Ultimate Power" by using Spopovich's "Majin Buu's Resurrection" and I think you can stack it up to three times to make it do major damage. Pretty neat little easter egg to add continuity to the tag-team. Edit: Also, "Majin Buu's Resurrection" does less damage to androids.

1:27 the term is super Armor. it's generally a term used in fighting game when people don't flinched when attacked. Edit: Wow, nearly 500 likes! Thank you all. It been a while since I last seen these numbers

The funniest thing to me is while most games have Future Gohan fight with one arm but have both, Sagas has him with one arm but certain combos he still attacks with both

Similarly to beating Zarbon with Fasha in the Saiyan Galaxy Battle, I grinded the first story mode of budokai tenkaichi 3 to beat Nappa with Chiaozu. It took me suuuuper long, and there was barely any reward, just a small cutscene of Chiaozu saying "Tien ! I really did it !" or something to that effect. Haven't play the games in a while but I love your channel btw !

Cell can do the Spirit Bomb cuz he is calling for the "stupid energy" XD

Didn't Imperfect Cell said he could do the Spirit Bomb if he wanted to?

2:16 it isn't an attack that damages evil it can be done by anyone and can damage anything. Goku just aimed it against evil ki when he was fighting Vegeta so Krillin could catch it.

1:48 is my favourite

1:57 actually thats not true The Spirit Bomb can hurt anyone, but only those who are pure of heart can push it back The original manga never stated that good people couldn't get hurt by it unless there was a translation error

2:02 cell:- come 💀

I always assumed it was Arale's height and inability to fly (flightless characters slowly descend to the ground in this game) that caused her to slip under the opponent's guard in air. Had no idea she had gag mechanics working in her favor

*“Ok, planet. Give me that STUPID energy.”* -Cell The *Perfect* Being

I think the reason why Cell can use the spirit bomb, is actually a reference to one of his panels on the manga talking to Piccolo, in which he stated that he can do all their techniques, even the spirit bomb, reason why he kept up with him in basically every game, maybe devs wanted to give him like a unique ultimate technique and not going for just a super kamehameha.

Man you just manage to grow my love towards these games more and more with each video. And I thought this wasn't even possible anymore 🤣

It could be possible that Cell's Spirit Bomb IS that simple. He could have adapted the ability so that he uses the negative energy of life instead of positive giving his Spirit Bomb a much more broader destructive power instead of targeting simply the evil that the original can. Cell is artificial life and was created with the tools necessary to adapt and evolve in order to achieve his ultimate goal.

I remembered using the Halo item a bunch even if it didn’t show up because it allowed you to charge faster and your special attacks used only half the amount of ki then it usually would

Good video! Oh yeah! The Halo was something I was happy seeing when equipping it. It's surprising how much we complete in these games as kids. Some of these points I say to myself "Oh wow, I remember doing that!". Forgotten SO much!

Thanks for showing my comment in your video, such an honour! The explanation for why the water shows on Budokai 3 (Vegeta's Final Flash) is because there are two versions of Budokai 3 on PS2. One is the original and the other is the Budokai 3 Collectors Edition! The HD remaster on PS3 and Xbox use the Collectors Edition. You also get Japanese voices, bug fixes, and extra costumes (King Piccolo, Trunks with Armour and you guessed it Goku with a Halo) definitely check it out!

Back after BT4 is announced

The RU-vid algorithm has been blessing you recently KaDazee, I hope your channel continues to grow even more!

5:10 DB Legends was the first to introduce 1 arm Gohan after the mutilation censure thing After that, Kakaroth implemented it as well

Awesome video! Thank you for showing the brilliance of this masterpiece of both Budokai 3 and Budokai Tenkaichi 3. I knew most of the occurrences, but that Fasha and Bardock conversation was new to me. Thanks again for the video. Looking at more of them. 🙂

Please keep making more videos, and make them as long as possible because I love to binge your content every now and then lmao

fun fact they actually brought back that accel dance easter egg in fighter z if you have krillian on a team with 18 he replaces 17 in her super attack but if 18 isn't with krillian than 17 does the attack with her. Also that easter egg with fasha isn't the only one there are a lot of alternate scenarios in BT3 example in the goku vs reccome fight if you get your ass kicked hard enough by recoome nail comes in to help and beats the force goku commits on how strong nail is and when this is over he wanted to go a round with nail agreeing

3:45 I always liked the Halo effect in Tenkaichi 3, I felt like such a genius when I discovered you could buy the Halo in the shop

I was curious, so I tried the Halo Z Item with all the characters in the roster that can equip it (only the good ones) and I came to the conclusion that the halo shows up during fights also on other characters: the three Gokus from Z, both the Piccolos, all the good Vegetas from Z, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu and Gogeta as well; as for the fusions: Vegito will never sport it, no matter what, whereas Gogeta will always have it if at least one of the fusee is equipped with the item. They're all characters that have been portrayed with a halo during the story, plus Krillin whose death(s) is clearly significant for the plot. On the other hand, Halo's evil counterpart, the Demon Seal (which I assume being the Majin symbol on the forehead), doesn't have any visible effects on those who equip it.

I had a bunch of these fighting games growing up, and whenever I was presented with playing as the losing side, I made absolutely sure to win, because I knew it unlocked secrets. Fasha was the hardest fight I had. Unlocking Zarbon's secret story was the second hardest.

Sagas gets a lot of flack, but that game was a massive part of my childhood. The soundtrack, although simple was so iconic for me.

The reason why we see Cell use the Spirit Bomb in games, despite the fact we haven't seen him use it in the franchise, is due to the fact that he mentioned it in both manga (chapter 364) and anime (episode 144) that he can use more than just a Kamehameha. He could probably create a Spirit Bomb if he needs to.

i love u making this childhood game easter eggs and hidden tricks. i used to play these games 24/7 back when i was a kid and still so much hidden thing idk about, hope u make other games too!

Something interesting I like in BT3 is spopovitch's ultimate can be used to power up babidi's ultimate (babidi can charge it too, if he grapples non-androids.) and with enough power built up it can insta-kill. There's also the thing whenever characters fuse, ALL items equipped on the previous characters are now equipped to the fusion. Ostensibly, this makes a single character capable of having double the equipment space and with duplicate items equipped.

I know you're mostly focusing on older games, but in Xenoverse 2, custom trainer characters get special voicelines if you use special attacks they don't normally use, for example Pan has several special voicelines if she uses Videl's special attacks. EDIT: The ones I know have special voicelines are Justice Rush, Eagle Kick and I think Finish Buster and Justice Combination also have special voicelines.

4:49 ok I didnt know that.... anyone else's heart like fluttered during that? No? Just me? k...

The reason why big characters don't flinch is called stagger resistance so they resist weak attacks completely

I actually always restarted whenever I was close to dying with Fasha, because I never knew Bardock took her place after.

5:00 Future Gohan also appears in the mobile game Dragon Ball Legends, and there is a specific one, which is the Legends Limited version, who has only one arm Also, he's the only character with a sparking rarity, that performs a different kind of tap attack, instead of punches, he uses kicks

6:40 had to rewind because I couldn't pay attention

Amazing video! Love seeing the details of these games! Also something i noticed: correct me if I'm wrong but, I played black label ps2 BT3 back in the day, and noticed that Chaoz and Arale didn't have a walking animation, they'll just slide around. Idk if that was a thing in other releases of the game.

New sub. Think been watching the content in reverse but no matter all great content kee up the great work bud brings me back to my childhood

The halo works with some other characters, try Krilin, I always used him!

I enjoyed the video it’s pretty interesting to learn new facts about the budokai and Budokai Tenkaichi games. Some of these facts I knew about but the halo one, the wave effect one, future gohan using one arm and that what if dialogue weren’t something I didn’t notice actually. Great video! I hope to learn more new stuff. These games are part of my childhood actually alongside budokai 1.

5:30 Lmaooooo are the devs saying that having one arm is considered age-inappropriate?💀💀💀

Keep up the amazing work these videos are awesome

Regarding one armed Gohan, I'm pretty in Budokai Tenkaichi 3, if you receive those ultimate moves to the face (when the character gets banged up), he'll also lose his arm! At least I remember it happening when I played it on the ps2

This dude is what DB games community needed

amazing videos bro keep it going

yo im loving this content

Speaking of devil man, his ultimate affects different characters for different values. Because it only works on evil characters (per the anime) it does max damage to evil buu and maybe syn shenron. But doesn't affect goku cause he's pure of heart

Bro I used to do all kinds of testing on Tenkaichi 3 when I was a kid, I'm glad to see these types of videos cuz it brings back memories.

I love this! Please add a Part 4!

1:01 Anya: waku waku Arale: waku waku

First Form Cell mentioned in the manga he could use the Spirit Bomb. Instead of asking for it like Goku, he would simply take like Moro.

6:36 lucky ahh mf

Love all the work you put on those videos ! looking forward to rhe next one

Future Gohan also appeared in Dragon Ball Z Shin Budokai Another Road (PSP). Fun fact: in that game he had the ability to turn into a Super Sayian 2 and Unlocked Potential because he was revived and trained with the old kai

5:39 Dragonball Legends on mobile has had One-Arm Gohan for 2 years now… and he’s still a beast

5:25 I like how they used ssj2 gohan moves against Cell juniors for Future gohan that's pretty cool

Some characters can also use a different grab attack than the normal one. When the opponent is down you can grab them by the foot and launch them into the air

6:09 Didn't really understand why Bardock apparently plans to die

Watching videos like these make me miss playing these games. One of these days I'll get to playing them.

2:00 The reason is that Cell in the manga says that he probably could do a spirit bomb, and most of db games carry the information to his move sets, that way, adding it.

In DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 2 and Infinite World, Cell also has the ability to do Genkidama, and in Tenkaichi 2 he also has the Halo custom. Edit: I love this video, it's really good! Congratulations Dude! 👏

3:31 😂😂😂😂 “HEY”

Whats really interesting is that Cell states he can do a Spirit bomb but he doesn’t do it, however in the Dbs super hero movie Cell max does a weird version of the Spirit bomb

Super cool! Guess I never equipped the halo to goku or vegeta lmao very interesting info!

many of these story battles have an alternate ending. i remember how i beat Dr. Wheelo with Kid gohan and the characters were talking about how strong Gohan is.

3:37 how did yall not know that tho and it takes yo health down 4 bars as well

On 1:43 you can also break theytr armor and attack them easily if you play as goku on ssj3 broly and harudigon armor dont matter

Bro finding out you could beat bosses with the first characters you get in the story and get different cut scenes was amazing. Went back and work hard to beat them.

I love this channel keep up the good work. Maybe do the other DBZ game as well dude

5:52 One Arm Future Gohan also appears and is playable in Dragon Ball Legends (For Moviles)

Yesss! It was a pleasure!

Great vid, you really blew since your first video

I've always heard the whole "You have to be pure of heart to use it" and "It only harms evil people" aspects of the Spirit Bomb were things added only by certain English dubs. There are no aspects like that to those techniques in the original Manga or Anime, the dubs were just trying to make Goku seem more heroic/superhero-like to make DBZ appeal more to western sensibilities. However I'm no expect and I don't know Japanese, so other than finding a Manga Translation or Anime Sub that claims to be accurate to the original Japanese, with no way of verifying those claims myself, and seeing what they say I have no way to confirm one way or another. Of course I've always like the Gag idea that Cell's Spirit Bomb is actually harnessing the collective stupidity of life on Earth/whatever planet he's on, hence "Alright planet, give me that stupid energy!" Which very well could make this version of the Spirit Bomb the strongest technique in the entire franchise, even stronger than whatever Zeno used to wipe out multiple entire universes.

DB Legends also has one armed Gohan, love the vids man let me know what easter eggs you can find in the intro themes

Please keep em comin

This is so cool

I think Accel Dance changes depending on whether the opponent is a Z fighter or a villain. I played a ton of Budokai 3 against my nephew who always picked some variant of Goku or fusion characters and Android 17 was always my partner.

If I recall correctly, Future Gohan having two arms is something that is specific to the North American versions of these games. In the Japanese versions, he only has one arm, however they were required to censor it for NA release as some thought it would be “too violent/gruesome” for the international releases.
