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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
