15 Lesser Known Facts in DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3! 

The only reason that the Champ is affected by his own punches is because he’s the only one who can fully comprehend his power

Fun fact: Solar Flare won't work on Master Roshi, Great Saiyaman, Doctor Willow and Pilaf Robot because they protect their eyes with something respecting the move weakness

4:17 There's another great detail about this Roshi section, if it drags on for a bit, you can hear one of the other characters say "He's still drunk!" (referencing the film again) so not only does Roshi stomp Broly, he does it while absolutely sauced too!

“Um Pan, I’m still alive” 😂😂😂😭😭😭😭

the little details are so nice you can tell how passionate and with alot of love they made this game.

The SOUL in this game

The hair style change between “fluffy” and “spiked” was a change implemented by Toriyama to give his art style some more detail. Though, you could also argue that after having gained control over the transformation in the time chamber that Goku’s hair had become more refined and less wild as a result of his better ki control.

I KNEW there was a secret Roshi vs Broly scene in some Tenkaichi game, but I couldn't find anything on it! I'm so glad I wasn't just imagining that.

Another cool detail is when using Goku (Mid) in his yardrat uniform, when he transforms into a SSJ, his outfit also changes colour just like how it did in the anime. So his base form pants go from a dark orange red, to a bright orange. It's one of my favourite details about the game :D

I loved the What If story fights in this game. Devilman just owning Mecha Frieza and Cold easily was hilarious. And Eighter fighting 16. The androids who should have met and became friends.

This is the love they don't put in these games anymore. I absolutely adore this game and will love it forever

I think it was mentioned that "High class Saiyans" can control themselves in the Great Ape form. So Nappa, Vegeta and King Vegeta remain conscious, while the lower class ones don't. More than power levels or potential, it seems it's a genetic thing.

1:52 I believe the detail here was when SSJ was introduced for the first time in the series, not much detail went into the yellow hair and it looked rather fluffy. But then got the detail it needed later. I guess the game even tried to capture this distinction as well truly amazing, BT3 is god tier.

I love when 18 and zanya meet . zanya: man's kinda cute. 18: skank! I think they censored it because I had a nephew ask me what skank meant and his mom heard him lol. Poor kid.

5:21 ik damn well i wasn't tripping i remember this dialogue 18 called her skank when i had the game as a kid but when i got a recent copy she was just like enough talk let's see what you got. I always thought it was my imagination till you confirmed it for me.

another important detail in reference to the previous video, is that frieza also has battle damage when he survives the spirit bomb he is seen one-eyed and with his tail cut off, as in the anime and manga

Master Roshi coming outta nowhere and beating Broly is one of the best things from this game.

Only if DB games had this amount of love put into them nowadays! We'd have something truly special!

I hope Tenkaichi 4's story mode will be like BT3 but more fleshed out. I love all the secrets in it and how you're allowed to die in some fights while still being able to win and get an alternate ending if you're good enough. Makes it worth playing through the levels over and over again.

Whether the Meteor Combination should be there or not, it's awesome to see it used against Frieza

I got one, if you play with Future Gohan, you will notice he only use one arm for all attacs, thats because despite the model when he has 2 arms, the character have only 1 arm in anime and manga

I love some of the quotes when you beat a boss as a different character, like if you beat third form Frieza with Piccolo he'll talk about how it feels to defend his homeland

According to the Daizenshuu, Mr Satan's power level is 240. which is near Goku and Piccolo's near the end of the original dragon ball. So canonically a saibaman just like in the video wouldn't even react to his punches. Still, 240 for a human who doesn't know anything about ki control is insanely impressive.

7:40 Nappa is a high class saiyan warrior. Vegeta says that they can retain their intelligence in the Ape form opposed to Low classes like Goku.

Just came from part 1! Loving this series man! A beautiful ode to such a groundbreaking game that highlighted our childhoods. Keep it going and can’t wait for part 3!!!!

the reason his hair is “fluffy” during the frieza saga is because it was his 1st time transforming into a super saiyan, which was a sign of him first developing that hair, so later in the series, he was able to form a more solid hairstyle along with his power 😂

7:08 Because he drank his JUICE

This is why I loved Tenkaichi 3, especially the detail of the fluffy hair SSJ look from Namek/Android saga, no other DB game I’ve played has added that detail and was my personal favorite look for Super Saiyan. For the GT Goku solar flare, I always thought it was an error and that he was saying Kaioken the way the English dub used to say it in original Z anime. I hope this masterpiece gets a remaster someday or even better an official Tenkaichi 4 because the mod shows how amazing it would’ve been

Who’s here after they announce the new Budokai Tenkaichi?

The fluffy hair accurately mimicks the anime. It definitely was illustrated different throughout the progression of the series. For the video game developers to recognize and implement it in, is really cool.

Part 3 bro! The Nail ending and Pan I really didn't know about After all this years of playing man who expected that There are some special conversations also between characters like Future Trunks and Meca Frieza or King Cold even in their winning pose

1:29 I think it makes sense for namek Goku to have that regardless of the timeskip or whatever you can still use old moves

I love how I obsessively played this game for years and only noticed some of these a remake would be just what we need

Holy, those alt endings I actually really had no idea! And the hair detail too. BT3 continues to be amazing even now, all these years later.

IT's amazing what can happen when devs put time, effort and love into their game.

1:25 I have think about this wrong move so many times XD...And i like that you have speak about it in your video

It's crazy how this is stuff we took for granted when we were young and playing the game but now it seems like an impressive Easter egg

This is one of the only games that made me feel absolutely epic when I went SSJ3 or 4. Their stances chances to one of confidence, their combos are fast and stylish, their special attacks are brutal, and well... they look as cool as any DB character would look. Also, I loved how closely emulated the fighting system was to the show. This was truly an unforgettable experience. It set the bar the highest for DB IMO. FighterZ, XV2 and Kakarot are amazing for sure, but Tenkaichi 3 takes the cake for me. If they lost the IP and can't remaster it, then in my opinion a *remake* is in order. And they might as well add the ability to do real-time 3v3 fights like the PSP version. If they do that we'd have the game that would match the DBZ/S experience the most.

Budokai Tenkaichi is back baby!

I remember playing this so much back in the days, and its incredible how im still discovering new things about it, the attention to detail was insane!

The great ape details is kinda funny when you think about it because all the one’s who can’t control it are registered as low-class saiyans so maybe that’s why

I believe that characters that have scouters will use them in their searching animation when looking around for the enemy when they lose sight of them. I remember seeing it happen in a video with bardock

7:15 could be a reference to the moves goku does when fighting kid buu in ssj2? hes got a lot of flow and jumps high so mayb?

6:57 Satan's attacks don't make react normal human characters like Videl, General Blue or Tao Pai Pai? (I guess they are in the game right?)

6:17 NAH ABOUT THE DISINTEGRATED its not only goku, all character that have short cutscene ultimate will vanishing enemy body like Ultimate Green Broly, Goten, Gogeta etc.

This game has so much effort put into it, even though everyone just says the movesets are copy&paste. There's so many hidden mechanics and special characteristics in the game as well for characters.

I love you for making this . I literally just found my copy today after searching for over 5 years.

I love this Game so much. Imagine a ps5 remake 🙈

Nappa maintaining control in Oozaru form makes sense cause he was an elite and Vegeta mentions that elite saiyan warriors were able to maintain control of it

5:02 I bet thats something only he would know.

I LOVE videos like these! The fluffy SSJ hair was something i didnt think a lot noticed 💯💯

Best fighting game for ps2. You can't say otherwise.

Why was this game so amazing and ahead of its time 😩❤️

It’s good that base form Goku in both raging blast games or meteor combination as one of his moves Also funny thing for the alternate ending with nail is that sean schemmel also voices himso It’s just Goku talking to himself but he has a deeper voice

Watching your videos only points out how much of a fan I am to Dragon Ball. When I got the Tenkaichi games as a kid, I knew EVERY single details that you would go on to mention in this and the previous videos. Dragon Ball is still my favorite anime/manga series to this day.

I'm so glad you pointed all these out, I was starting to think only i cared about these details lol. Great video

the reason bardock, raditz and turles can't control their ozaru forms it's because they're low class sayians, that's a so cool detail

They did the fluffy hair thing in the Raging Blast games too. Blew my mind when I noticed that back in the day.

I remember when I was *SO HAPPY* to see the Full Power Super Saiyan/Super Saiyan Grade 4 hair on Goku’s Saiyan Armor Super Saiyan costume a year or two ago, as I LOVED that appearance of Goku, and I GREATLY appreciated that HUGE attention to that extra detail by the devs taking the time to model the hair for that specific costume!

Wanted to add, nappa is an elite so naturally he can control great ape with ease

5:07 omg gotenks 😂😂

I've always loved the Fluffy look. Goku Trunks and Vegeta, all had the look. I wish all first form super saiyans, have that fluffy design. Then when they increase their levels to 2, 3 and so on, the hair should be more detailed and spikey. It would really show the differences between the forms, especially for characters like vegeta, who's hair doesn't really change its shape.

Love the content my guy! You got a new subscriber here

1:30 Well actually that is Goku from Namek and Android Saga (before the Cell Games), and I see this like a cool detail because there is a part where Goku trains with Piccolo and Gohan. I like to think they put this move on that Goku because of this training

The transition at 1:12

The Budokai Tenkaichi series was so amazing! I still have a copy of BT3 for my PS2. Back in right after high school/pre college (I took like 6 months off between) I'd be at my buddies house every day playing this for hours in vs mode

Man I remember using mr satan against every hero just to make the game harder and harder. My god the nostalgia, checked your channel and love it, subbing man

I never knew about these alternate endings Very nice!!

I noticed the same fluffy hair thing in Raging Blast though. Always wondered why they didn’t do that for Vegeta and Trunks, their ssj hairstyles were also different when they first appeared. Even Gohan really. Nobody had all those crazy shards, just flowing long hair.

I love Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and I wasnt aware of these various details until I saw the video.I hope we get a Budokai Tenkaichi 4 one day ,it deserves the modern graphic treatment

Awesome vid.. very interesting.. I remember some of those easter eggs haha

I like so much to watch your series with these details

Well there is also a small detail regarding Arale as a gag character as she can cause high damage to giants and broly and also make them flinch, when even as ssj2 characters can't hurt them (excluding ssj2 teen Gohan another great detail that he was the strongest dominating character during his arc).

When that Cell Saga Music starts playing i feel something💯

Keep it up man , a real fan

7:49 Bardock: *literally screams as a great ape* Frieza: e n o u g h o f y o u r t a l k

Sure as hell didn't know about the secret fights with Nail and Pan. Thanks 👍

Don’t stop making videos! 😊 I love all of these facts

damn!! I like your efforts in making these videos!! :D

I say this once I'll say it again, Budokai Tenkaichi series is the most ambitiously made DB games and that why they are the best DB games of all time.

I really liked the Fluffy SSJ Grade 1 Hair from Goku (Mid)

your music taste is awesome

Man this was sick, I want to play a remaster so bad. 2 had such good music and story and I liked a few of the gameplay changes in 3 as well as the roster

They really didn't have to go into this much depth with small details but I'm glad they did anyway. Shit has soul man

you forgot about turles, he is another capable of making artificial moon in the game (and he has the Oozaru)

That is amazing details

interesting...thanks!

It just goes to show how much the devs love the franchise now we rarely get Easter eggs ot attention to detail

You can actually have enemies react to Hercule's punches if you have Draconic Aura equipped.

That is some Insane details

I never would've found out about Nail coming to help against Recoome in a million years, or any of those other alternate endings. Those are SUPER cool finds. I might do a video later of myself beating them.

Haven't tested it too much, but I remember a long time ago when I lost a beam battle as a great ape and my health hit 0 there was a giant hole in me. Not sure if it is with all characters, giant characters, or also works with ultimate attacks, but it was very interesting when it happened to me in a world tournament.

3:37 *The Rock face*

Great video, very nice.

I absolutely adored the Super Saiyan hair changing between looks. I was only bothered by them being in the Ssj full power version with the Yardrat outfit, since Goku was far from mastering the form back then (yes, I was that much of a nerd😂)

6:36 "revenge death bomber" isn't that baby's move?

When bt4 comes out I really hope it brings back the ability to play as great apes, I don’t particularly like playing great apes, I just think it would be fun. Although if they treated great apes like ultimate tenkaichi that would be cool too

Bro, I played this game for probably over 1000 hours when I was in middle school, this is still one of my favorite games.

Finally part 2 😍😍😍😍

there's 3 other alternative endings for story mode the first two are in the buu saga first one is if you beat majin vegeta without pressing the prompt to advance the story you fight dabura, and if you beat buu after the first first button prompt and ignoring the second prompt you fight badadi and the 3rd one is in the dragon ball saga is if you beat demon king piccolo after pressing the first prompt and ignoring the second prompt you fight tambourine as chi-chi
