Dragon Ball Z Side Story: Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans was adapted into a two-episode original video animation (OVA) series directed by Shigeyasu Yamauchi and released in two parts as strategy guides.[3][4] The first part was released on July 23, 1993, and the second part was released on August 25, 1993. In 1994, footage from the OVA was reused in a two-part game for the Bandai Playdia, True Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans, with some new scenes.[5]
Dr. Raichi is the lone survivor of the Tuffles, a race that once lived on Planet Plant before the invasion of the Saiyans. The Saiyans not only massacred the entire Tuffle race, but also stole their technology and conquered the planet; renaming it Planet Vegeta in honor of their king. Raichi managed to escape and found refuge on the Dark Planet and prepared to eradicate the last remaining Saiyans.
On Earth, he sends devices that emit a substance called Destron Gas that can destroy all life. When Mr. Popo finds out that only a few hours remain until the planet's destruction, Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Trunks, and Piccolo rush to destroy the devices located around the planet. They manage to destroy all but one that is protected by an impenetrable energy barrier. However, Frieza, Cooler, Turles and Lord Slug appear and engage the heroes. It is revealed by King Kai that the villains are ghost warriors and will continually come back to life when killed unless defeated in the same way their lives were originally ended.
The heroes track Dr. Raichi down to the Dark Planet and engage him, discovering that his ghost warriors are generated by a machine called Hatchihyack, a device powered by the hate of the Tuffles. It is also revealed that Dr. Raichi is a ghost warrior himself, generated by Hatchihyack. When Vegeta vaporizes Raichi, preventing him from re-materializing, the hate Dr. Raichi had causes Hatchihyack to exceed its limit. Hatchihyack appears in a powerful android body. Hatchiyack devastates the heroes until the Saiyans, after having transformed into their Super Saiyan forms, combine their powers together into one massive wave of energy, ending the threat.
The remake featured with Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 doesn't include Mr. Popo, the Monsters or Goddo Gadon.
Dragon Ball: Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans (Japanese: ドラゴンボール 超サイヤ人絶滅計画, Hepburn: Doragon Bōru: Sūpā Saiya-jin Zetsumetsu Keikaku) is a 2010 anime original video animation and an updated version of Dragon Ball Z Side Story: Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans. Originally, this updated version was only available in the Bandai Namco Games video game Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2.[6][7] However, it later received a coupled DVD release with Dragon Ball: Episode of Bardock in the March issue of the weekly magazine Saikyō Jump, which was released on February 3, 2012.[8]
Most of the voice cast from the original 1993 OVA returned for the remake, with the notable exception of Shinji Ogawa, who was replaced by Hiroshi Iwasaki as the voice of Dr. Lychee.
