 On this channel, I tend to play a lot of Dragon Ball Z games, but one game that I seem to have missed is the original Dragon Ball Z Budokai. Yes, originally releasing way back in 2002, Budokai would set the stage for all of the games to come. Is the game itself actually good though? That's the question I wanted to ask, is I go into Dragon Ball Z Budokai blind more than 20 years later? Ooh, the main menu is already stylish. You know I love to see this. So let's just kick it off with the story. I want to enjoy the spectacular story of Dragon Ball Z. Oh, we already got this intro? Wait, what's happening? Oh, they're showing us Dragon Ball. A picture of many great battles. This is so sick. They were chilling. Damn, look at us. Dude, this game looks so good. To announce an astounding fact. Bro announces a fact? Bro showed up with fact toys. Hey, I don't know if they did right at this model as well as the others. Damn. After all, that's what we do, brother. We are fans. Whoa. Oh my goodness. Damn, he laid them out. He didn't even get to say nothing. He went from being bros to just getting knocked out. All right, see your edits. All right, well, oh, damn, we get mysterious alien attacks. Yo, that was sick. Now we get an episode transition. Do we just get to go into the fight? I don't remember. I never got to play this game. Oh, it's on site. The boys are back in town, baby. I just stopped by to enjoy the view. Why are you idiots here? Harsh. Give me back my son right now. There we go. Yeah, we just want the kid back. I'll let you win on a secret. Oh, we're getting a secret from Raditz. This planet's history. Oh. Even if you beat me, there are two more powerful Saiyans on their way. No way. He's teasing Vegeta and Nappa. That's just great. Then I'll deal with you first. I have to save Gohan. Goku doesn't even care about that. And we get the zoom in on the face. All right, hold on. A punch, kick, key blast, and guard. All right, so it's pretty much just like Infinite World, which I played not too long ago on the channel. Oh, my God, I have Goku's iconic move, Zanku Fist. Oh, it's good to be back, baby. Kamehameha. All right, they didn't have... All right, the Kamehameha not being blue would have actually really bothered me as a kid. All right, how do I do Zanku Fist? Zanku Fist. Kick, kick forward, kick, kicky. Oh, Radix, why? Zanku Fist. All right, kick, kick, kick. Oh, mix-ups. And now for the Kamehameha. Boom. How did he live that? Oh, my goodness. Oh, my... Oh, I broke his neck in the air. Bro is flying unconscious. Easy. Give me that tail. Bro was a tutorial mission. Piccolo, do it. Kill him. You don't want to hurt your own brother, do you? No, I'm not watching Goku fall for this. Yeah, look, he's not falling for it. I promise you, I'll leave this planet right now. No, you can't listen to him, Goku. He's only telling lies. All he does is be a saying and tell lies. Don't let him go. I beg of you, Goku. Oh, brother, he fell for... Oh, he got laid out again. But I did get a skill for this. Oh, now I have Zanku Fist. Damn it. This game is cool with the cutscenes, though. I'll be honest. I would have loved this as a kid. Oh, he broke at least six ribs right there. That one could easily be something else. No, shot, it's going on. Huge front flip. He's crying. They actually animated that pretty well. Oh, my God, he's got snot dripping out his nose. Oh, dodge this, reddits. Oh, he just got laid out by Gohan. Get him. Shoot me, Piccolo. Shoot me now. Piccolo, shoot him. Do it now. Hurry. My model can't clip through it much longer. Action. Hit the special beam cannon. To get hit by Piccolo's special beam cannon, stay in the center of the screen. Rotate the left analog stick or the right analog stick. What? Oh, no. This is the mission that I always hear about online. No, no, no. I can't do this. This is the one with all the funny ones. This is easy. Oh, my God. This is so easy. Wait, this is way easier than... Ah, ah, please, please. Oh, my God. I can't do it. Ouch. Okay, wait. That was pretty hard. Okay, please. Oh, my God. I can't... This is going to take forever, isn't it? Come on. Get back. Get back in there, reddits. I'm letting the reddits do most of the walking here. Oh, my f... Reddits, please. Shoot him, shoot him. Okay, 15 seconds. That's good. Good RNG. Great RNG. Reddits isn't really fighting. Shoot him now, Piccolo. Shoot him now. Yes. It didn't even take me that long. I thought that was going to take forever. Holy shit. Yes. Whoa, my God. This cutscene is... They actually showed that much about a blood in this game? Damn, they showed his ribs. What? I can't believe this game showed his ribs. Piccolo actually looks dead. We did it. Did we get a skill? Nice. We got a skill. Oh, we got reddits. Damn, we died. We just died. We're straight at King Yemma's place. My God. Oh, can I please do Snake Way? Oh, oh, Snake Way. Does Budokai have a Snake Way? Oh, we don't get a Snake Way level. This is so lame, dude. We made it. Oh, we're already here. We're just doing formal introductions. Nice to meet you, King Kai. Yeah, excellent to meet you as well. And this game does not mess around. Everything's happening so quick. No filler. My God, we're already dying to Nappa. He missed. Only he didn't miss. He was saved by Nimbus. Now I'm here to beat Nappa's ass. This game's story mode is actually quality. I feel like I'm just having the time of my life. Piccolo's already dead. I forgot about that. Bro took his turn dying. Piccolo. He's gone. He's dead. He's gone, too. Yamcha. They're all gone. I got that other little friend of yours as well. Oh my God, brutal. No. That's it. He's going Super Saiyan? King Kai Fist. Punch Kick Guard. No way. Is that Kaioken? I'm doing King Kai Fist. King Kai Fist times two. Kaioken times two. Let's go, Kaioken. Easy. Oh, watch him into the air. I'm not done with him. Here's King Kai Fist times Kamehameha. Napa just tanked that. No, no shot. No shot. He beats me. No, I'm not going to happen. Not going to happen. Juggles. Juggles. All right. All right. All right. Watch him. Can I transform even further? Nice. Nice. Got him up against the wall. Oh my God. He can't escape. He can't escape the Goku beat down. Next. Damn. Because of how fast this game moves, like stuff just happens instantaneously. Look at Vegeta. Look at him. I just realized Napa could easily palm like three NBA official basketballs at once. You're just great to all say it. Goodbye. Pretty full. Whoa. Where did he shoot that beam from? No. Where did that beam come out of? I got to know. And are we just fighting Vegeta now? Oh, we got a skill. Napa. Super duel. Super duel. What? What kind of episode title is super duel? Oh, this is iconic. I don't know why Vegeta built like the Burger King toy, but that's whatever. I really thought, I really thought Goku was going to give him a thumbs up right there. Goku just keeps that creepy smile on his face. The iconic pose. They kind of killed this in this game. Whoa. And we're just head to head like this. We don't got any distance between us. I'm just speed running this game, by the way. Continuous Kamehameha. Wait, how many continuous Kamehameha? What is that? Do I just do a full beam? I want to do that. Continuous Kamehameha. I actually landed it. Is he just on the ground? That is not a Kamehameha. That would have pissed me off as a kid. That was not a continuous Kamehameha. Whatever, man. I'm speed. Whoa, we clash. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, shit. What am I supposed to do with my magic? What's happening? We're scrapping. That was sick. Ouch. He knocked me out of Kaio-ken already. Look at the sidestep. Vegeta didn't even see me coming. Yeah, keep... Oh, I'm taunting. You okay? You know that one hurt Vegeta's pride. You know that one hurt Vegeta's pride, too. I win. I win. I'm kicking victory. Yeah. And it was a little too easy, too. Die in the strongest. Nice and denial. I'll prove it. He's just screaming at that. I'll prove it. You're quite the lucky one indeed, Kakarot. Now you're going to see me transform. No shall we get to fight the Great Eight. Oh. It's the moon. The artificial moon. Nothing is saving us. Oh, my god. Blinding light. What's this, huh? Another trick? What's up with these tricks, Vegeta? Oh, Nahi. That wasn't no trick. He is losing it. Oh, my god. Do we get to play something here? This game moves so quick. All right. Let's do it. Big eight. Damn. What Goku? Prepare to use the spirit bomb technique he learned from King Kai. The giant eight Vegeta. Goku is huge. Oh, Yasarobi, no. And Goku got countered. Goku didn't stand a chance. He barely got to charge up the spirit bomb. Oh, please. Someone help. Yasarobi. I'm a level. Where? What's happening? You let go of my dad. Ain't no way Gohan's got beef with Great Eight Vegeta. Destruction. Frillin, don't announce the attack. We need the art of surprise here. Oh. Wow. They actually included a lot of what actually happened here. I'm too smart for that trick. Vegeta thinks he's so smart. Oh. Yasarobi with the clutch up all the lifetime. No. What a clutch up. He deformed quickly. Haha. Show Gohan's true power. No shot. Gohan is doing anything here. Let's be honest. Oh my God. Oh, Gohan. Look at his face. He doesn't even care. I got my sank. Kill quick. What is kill quick? Over punch punch. Kick kick E. What is kill quick? Now, why am I saucing Vegeta though? I want to use kill quick. No. No. I didn't die. Whoa. Oh my God. He back into me. Don't lose. I don't know why I couldn't block that. Oh my God. He got laid out. Rematch. Rematch me. Oh. Just right back into it. This game is so sick. Oh. What a back flip that was clean. Was I go? He threw a Key Blast back at me. Get out of my face. Key Blast. Key Blast. All right. I'm doing coming out. It's the only one I know. Stop it. Vegeta. I win. He deflected it. Oh. Get out of my face. Let's go. Krillin's got the spirit bomb. Okay. I got the spirit bomb. Spoiler. Sorry. I didn't know he was going to say it. I hope this works. What the? That's it. Back. Go on. Go on. Go on. You have to throw it back. I don't. I don't like that with current contact. What a bounce. Let's go. Wait. No shot. We miss. Oh, never mind. That was the end of the level. We got Vegeta. Oh, I guess Vegeta dies. Oh my God. Oh my God. He got fucking eviscerated. Go on. Turns the tables on Vegeta. And brings him down hard. Damn. Vegeta bust out the iPhone 13. Bro is making a call. Vegeta really called the Uber. Bro is out. I'll stop you. Krillin is my god. Krillin is my god. Krillin is my god. Krillin is my god. Krillin is my god. Krillin is my god. Krillin is my god. Krillin is my god. Krillin is my god. It's over, you fool. It's not over yet. No. Wait. The rare time when Goku used a... Psycho... What? That is not his spell probably. Go. Vegeta is chilling. He's laughing in there. He's gone. Well, that was the end of the Saiyan saga. Damn, that took like 10 minutes in this game. Let's go to Nenek. Let's go to Nenek. We're just... I guess we're just going to Nenek then. All right. It's like a brochure. Well, I better start my training. Oh, do we actually get to do training? I love when they let us do training in these games. Shout out to Infinite Worlds training mode. Goku's hard training begins. Deflect back Vegeta's Key Blast wave 15 times. Press the guard button just before the key wave hits you. That's what we're training for? Wait, is Vegeta on the ship with me? Oh, shit. It's Ghost Vegeta. Ouch. Ouch. Deflect. I'm perfect. I don't miss. All I have to do is keep deflecting these. Fire again. Easy. That was a little too easy, Vegeta. All right. Well, the training wasn't so hard. Kyle Kintimes 5. We got Kyle Kintimes 5 for that. Ha ha. Me after imagining a heated battle. Are you there? Hello. Kintai? Ha ha. With a smile on his face. Oh. No thanks. But I don't think it'll be easy. Yeah. He already knows we fighting him. Wait, what? Second training. Activate burst mode five times. Punch and kick as Vegeta attacks. All right. We're training again. We're clashing with Vegeta again. Am I going to have to watch this five times? I don't get it. Am I? Is it just who charges it faster? Damn. Damn. He's got combos. I don't understand the system. All right. I just need to do this one more time. All right. There we go. That's the last one. We should be good. I think Goku actually lives this interaction. All right. We won. Not how I would train, but I guess, yeah. Kaioken times 10. We're getting my eyes beat. I'll take it. The third training. You'll be on Namek soon. Use little remaining health to defeat fake Vegeta. All right. Now we just need to beat fake Vegeta. I want to go Kaioken times 10. Hey, you okay? How do I do it? Transform Goku. Stop taunting. Oh my God. I don't know how to transform. I can still fight. Yes. But I need to learn how to transform Goku. Please do it. All right. Now if I could just go Kaioken. If I could just activate Kaioken. Kaioken times five. It's over. It's actually over. No shot he blocks that. No way we're clashing again. I have to win this. I'm literally Kaioken times five. If I lose, this is rigged. Win that, Goku. Win that. Let's go. Let's go. How do you not die? Oh, come on. Come on. He lived. He lived. He lived. I got him. I was spamming. Yeah, I was spamming. I don't care. I'll take it. Yes. I bet I could take on any of King Kai's techniques now. Why is he pounding on his chest like that? Oh, sense of being sick. Oh my God. Krillin's already in trouble? Who is he fighting again? Is this the Ginyu Force Saga? Oh no. Poor little guy. Why? Ginyu Force too strong. Oh my God. They had blood. Krillin dodge. Oh, he ain't dodging shit. Go, Gohan. Dodge, Gohan. He ain't dodging shit. He's dead. Landing operation complete. Welcome to Planet Planet. Oh, are we about to get the intro where Goku's... Oh, let's go. I know things aren't good. Hold tight. I'm coming. Woohoo. I can only hope my training will be enough. Oh, it's time. Goku's arrival. Yes, sir. You did very well. I'm proud. What happened? They're not even going to show me giving them the sensu beans? I'm about to one-shot Rukum. I'm walking up slow and confident. Let's finish this. Rukum really posing like I'm not about to one-shot. Oh, misplaying. Oh, nice jump. Nice move. Do they make it for men? Yeah. Yeah, come here. Oh, you thought it was sweet, huh? You beat up on... You beat up on what? Somebody that was like 4-4 and a kid? Yeah. Oh, my God. What was that? All right, I'm sorry, man. I didn't know I was talking shit. It was just trash talk, bro. It wasn't anything serious. I didn't mean nothing by it. I kind of had combos right there, too. No, no. No, I'm not going to go easy on him either. I was going to kick him again. No one. That's fine. Die. Scum. Go on a shock. His power is incredible. Could he be the one? The Super Saiyan. Well, it's not fair. It should be me. It should have been me, not him. It's not fair. So, you've somehow managed to make it through my elite team. But now, you've faced such a ingenious. I am unditated, just ready to die. Can you force without five people posing just saying this hit? Look at the dynamic duo. Go. Oh, we're going. Vegeta just took off. Oh, no, get you. Great. Now I got to deal with Ginyu and Jase on my own. Oh, my God. Ginyu is beating my ass. Combos. Get off the ground, Ginyu. Yeah, I want a piece. Yeah, I do want a piece. So what? I keep taunting. I taunted into a backflip kick over the head. That is embarrassing for me. Milky Cannon. I don't want to lose. He just went down to a couple of punches. Get up. Get up. All right. You're looking at the real deal. Is he going to take my body? He's going to do the body swap. Oh, my God. This game is brutal. No, he took Goku's body. Where did he come from? I have to fight in this body? Is Goku Ginyu or is Ginyu Goku? Control the body swap to Ginyu and take Goku down. Oh, no. I'm in the bad body. What do I skills do I have? Parmesan shower. Get ready for the Parmesan shower. Ouch. I don't know how to do Parmesan shower. Oh, my God. I'm going to lose. I'm going to lose. I don't want to lose. No, no, no, no. No. God damn it. Chichi, sorry about the way I look. What? Spam. Yeah, I'm spamming. Yeah, I'm spamming. So what? Oh, he thought I was going to get me through the spam. No. I'm just going to spam. I'm just going to spam. The game's too easy. Ouch. Ouch. No wonder they had me trained. Both fired eight ki blasts. Oh, God. Okay. Block, block, block. Yes. Oh, my God. That was annoying. No, he's going to try to slip into a new body. Oh, my God. I don't like the way Ginyu ran. Oh, what an interception. Huge. Huge play by Goku. That felt better. You got bodied. Wild Goku. I don't know why the models of this game are funny. Whatever they're doing. Goku sitting in that pod with so much funny to me. Perunga. Oh, Piccolo's here now. Is he going to go fuse with them? Todd, they're looking free to stand in there. Hey, it's Dende and Krillin. Watch out, Dende. Oh, they actually show. Oh, my God. Somebody help him. Oh, my God. Oh, he's dead. Next. Next. That was kind of hard. Oh, help God. Oh, my God. Ruthless cutscene. Damn. Vegeta's not fair to me better either. Get out of the pod, Goku. He was pissed. Oh, never mind. Not that pissed. He quietly landed on the ship. Goku's revival. I'm back, baby. I'm back. Where's Frieza at? Oh, what a landing. Ew. That made me uncomfortable. Some people just never learn, do they? I don't have anything to learn. I don't read and I don't plan on reading. Your time has finally come to you. All right, so we're just trying to beat Frieza and we can get Kyoken times 10. That would be huge. Kyoken times 10, no way we lose. Now, granted, I haven't really... Is Frieza teleporting? Is he teleporting? What a trip. Look at that. Get up. Did you see the way his eyes were closed, bro? Frieza's getting his ass kicked. Frieza. Kyoken times 10. It's over. Frieza should just go home. Look at my profile pic in the top left. That's how you know I'm in business. Oh, the coming of ha even had a special effect. We're clashing. Oh, Frieza. No way he wins this. No shot he wins this. This is the longest clash of my life and I still won. Throw. Dragon throw. Coming. He blocked it. What? Ouch. You got no combos, Frieza. Sit down. Where did my shirt go? What? I was winning. One shot left. The spear bomb. He even speaks like he's in like a clip notes. Give me all the creature's energy. You are a father some little best. And I've had enough. You don't have enough. Frieza, you should look behind him. Frieza, I'm behind you. It's time. Oh my God. He's dead. This game is gruesome. They're going to show him just full on get erased. Nah, he's gone. Well, that was it. Did we unlock Frieza? That's how you know if he's dead. Oh no, we just got spear bomb. Wait, can we actually do ultimates in this game? I know consecutive combat me, I would kind of like an ultimate, but... Oh, wait, that actually looks really cool though. Wait, that looks sick. You did it, dad. Hey, the boys are back in town. Yeah, thank you. No, not like this. No, he's back. No, Krillin. Oh, now it's sick. Oh my goodness. The legendary Super Saiyan. That was, that's cold. That was, that is cool. That is cool. All right, all right. Show me the casino. I can't allow you to do this anymore. And now Frieza, you take him somewhere safe. Go on, son. I'll take care of this monster once and for all. Now get going. He's taking innocent lives again and again. My best friend, Krillin. Goku's face, he is pissed. Goku is pissed. I want to do the spirit bomb. I want to do the spirit bomb. Oh my God, I'm never going to be able to do that. It's actually over. I'm not going to be able to do that. Oh, we're face to face. Get up, Frieza, get up. I don't have all the... I do not have a lot of time in Super Saiyan. Ouch. I dropped a Kaioken? No, this can't be happening. This can't be happening. Give me Super Saiyan back. I don't need commentary. I need Super Saiyan. Why am I bleeding ki? I'm bleeding ki. How is the game going to take Super Saiyan away from me? Am I Super Saiyan fight? I've dropped down from Kaioken times 10 to Kaioken times 2. No, I'm not. No, I don't lose here. Key Blast. No. No. Sit down, Frieza. I don't care if I'm Kaioken times 0. I'm taking you out. Am I back in Super Saiyan? Who are you? Call Goku. Yes, sir. Goku does not lose. I will not dishumiliation. He is mad. Prepare to meet your doom Saiyan. Wait, wait. We got another cutscene or are we fighting him again? Nope, another cutscene. Super Saiyan Goku. A quiet but fierce battle. A quiet but fierce battle. How quiet could it possibly be? Are we whispering? Oh no, we're still fighting. Is this just another match between me and Frieza? Now witness my true power. He didn't even get that much. He didn't even buff up that much. Oh, there he goes. There he goes. Oh, is he going to say you mean Krillin? No shot. This is going to go crazy. Oh, never mind. Never mind. It should have been his name was Krillin. That would have been crazy. We're battling again. Is it going to bring me out of Super Saiyan again? We're fighting only. It's Frieza 100%. And he is strong. I'm leaking. I'm leaking key again. I'm leaking key. Oh, brother. This is bad. This is bad. I've lost everything. I lost. I'm leaking key. Balls. Balls. What? What is it? What? Balls? Balls? What did he mean by that? Every time they lose, they have a unique losing dialogue for the match. But why did he say balls, balls? Is that a reference I'm forgetting? I actually have the health lead. Oh no, killer ball. Oh, oh, I dropped down at the base. Ouch. How do I charge up? This isn't fair. God damn it. If he didn't land killer ball, balls, balls. That beam. Oh, he dropped down. Looks like I'm not the only one fighting the key. Bro dropped down into baby Frieza. It is so over. Look at this guy. Look at this little guy. Look at this little fella. Oh my God, embarrassing. Stand up. Stand up. Get up. Oh, look, he changed back just to get, just to beg for his life. All right, Goku, we're out of here. Let's leave. Let's bounce. Give me another minigame. How come Raditz was the only minigame? Let me do a beam clash minigame. I will finish you with Iona. Damn. You moron. Where's it going to be full? More on our full. Let's bet in the comments. It's full. His ass does not know the controls. That's me trying to land any special move in this game. Nothing. No. Goku. I'll make it out of there. Will he be okay? It was probably a close call. Well, I'm actually going to end it here and go back to the main menu. If you want to see the rest of this game in another video, let me know. I think it goes all the way up to Super Saiyan. Yep, right there. So if you want to see the Cell Saga play on another video, leave a like, subscribe, and I'm going to go. I got to keep on locking stuff for this game. I'm trying to play the world tournament mode. Also, bye. Like, subscribe, bye.
