Dragon Ball: Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans (サイヤ人絶滅計画, Saiyajin Zetsumetsu Keikaku; lit. "Dragon Ball Z Side Story: Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans") is the fourth installment of the Gokuden series of Famicom games with a completely original plot as opposed to what came before it. It later was adapted into the first Dragon Ball Z OVA as a visual guide to the original game. The OVA was later remade into a shorter but updated bonus movie for Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2.Dr. Lychee is one of the only survivors of the Tuffles, who were massacred by the coming of the Saiyans in the original anime adaptation. Lychee managed to escape with a capsule and found refuge on the Dark Planet, a world at the end of the universe. Now, his only wish is to eradicate the last remaining Saiyans, using a deadly substance known as "Destron Gas" to slowly destroy all life on planet Earth.While an Excuse Plot in general, the core ideas and concept were later better explored in Dragon Ball GT, which also includes the Tuffles and a villain who was no better than the Saiyans he so detested, and Dragon Ball Super, where a Tuffle and another warrior who greatly resembles Hatchiyack, Aniraza, appear in the Tournament of Power.

comment
Multiple Endings: In the Famicom games, Hatchiyack was originally a reward boss for defeating Lychee without using items. The VHS OVA and Raging Blast 2 versions replicate the True Final Boss path of the games where they face Hatchiyack. The Playdia version features several endings depending on the route and decisions taken all the way up to facing Dr. Lychee: The Bad Guy Wins: Ignoring or failing to destroy the last Destron Gas Generator leads to the Ghost Warriors killing the Z-Warriors, with Lychee destroying the rest of life on Earth with the gas as a result. Seal Ending: Much like in the games proper, using a magical seal against Lychee after defeating him prevents the doctor from summoning Hatchiyack and ends the conflict right then and there. Timing Ending: The ending that the VHS OVA and the Raging Blast 2 remake use where the Z-Warriors use the 15 second charge that Hatchiyack's final attack takes to charge a combined blast of their own. Spirit Bomb Ending: Hatchiyack reveals a Super Form of his own, and Goku counters it by charging and throwing a Super Spirit Bomb with the energy from all the planets they've visited prior to reaching Dr. Lychee's. Giant Hatchiyack Ending: Cornered by the Z-Warriors, Hatchiyack uses a Giant form to gain the upper hand. Goku, with the help of a rescued magical fairy, flies into Hatchiyack's body and blasts its core with a Kamehameha, ending the fight.

Wolverine Publicity: Though the original game's Famicom cartridges and some of the OVA's promotional material showcased Gohan in his Super Saiyan 2 state, the form isn't achievable in any of the games prior to the Raging Blast 2 and never showcased in any of the animated versions of the story.

Advertised Extra: A lot of emphasis is put on Hatchiyack in the marketing rather than Lychee. Justified, since Lychee is more of a Non-Action Big Bad, and Hatchiyack is a fighter, which better suits the franchise.

Excuse Plot
 Dragon Ball: Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans / int_70d8269d
comment
Excuse Plot: As expected from a video game story, the plot is very thin, even by Dragon Ball Z standards. This also applies to the appearances of Frieza, Cooler, Turles, and Slug. While it's understandable why Frieza and Cooler came back, the other ghost warriors that came back are clearly just there because they were popular at the time and are poorly mixed in.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: At one point, the heroes attempt to use Shenron to restore Bunbuck Island, which was destroyed by the Ghost Warriors, only to be interrupted by Pilaf stealing the Dragon Balls and using Shenron's first wish to paralyze the heroes so they can't interfere. His second wish is to restore his new palace and the island it was on... Which happened to be Bunbuck Island.

Too Dumb to Live: Kawazu had a plan that involves landmines... too bad he was up against Piccolo, who can simply levitate over them. Piccolo taunts him, asking if he can do the same. Kawazu attempts to do so... only to realize too late that he can't fly, and he falls... right on his own landmines. The resulting explosions not only kill Kawazu, but also destroys the Destron Gas generator as well. Piccolo even lampshades this by saying that he never thought that there was anyone more stupid than Mr. Satan.

Continuity Snarl: The story attempts to tie itself not only into the main continuity by mentioning it takes place in the days leading up to the Cell Games, but also to tie in the movies featuring Cooler, Lord Slug, Turles and Broly. Needless to say, none of those separate continuities fit together at all.
