Dragon Ball. A franchise that's known across the globe. A setting full of characters that are capable of destroying entire galaxies, universes, even timelines. A series also known for characters named after vegetables, old men obsessed with belly buttons, and guys named Mr. Popo. So it flip-flops a bit. Dragon Ball is an incredibly deep and complex series, even if it doesn't appear to be. It has also had many incarnations. There's Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, and now Dragon Ball Super. Since its inception in the '80s, Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball property has gotten enti🍃re films, animated adaptations, and games to compliment the original ma▨nga. 

The g👍ames are what we plan to focus on today. More specif🃏ically, their mistakes.

Along with all the ups and downs that is the roller coaster we call "Dragon Ball," there are also lots of things to remember. Basically, with everything that happens from Dragon Ball to Dragon Ball Super, it's a bit difficult to get every little detail right. It's even harder when you're trying to make your game unique and different. So I don't necessarily blame these games for the mistakes they've made, that'd be a bit much. I mean, I'm hyper-analyzing a property designed for kids, so I don't have much ground to stand on myself. But, at the end of the day, these fun games did make some pretty blatant errors when it comes to the Dragon Ball canon. And, if you're a hyper-fan like me, you probably noticed a couple of these yourself. So, without further ado, here are 25 Ridiculous Mistakes In Dragon Ball Video Games Only True Fans Noticed

25 Budokai: Cell C♑an't Decide On A Voice 🥃

So right off the bat, lets talk about Cell. Cell is a bio-🐬organism created by Dr. Gero, the scientist who created all the "androids." Throughout the "Cell" arc, this monster goes from imperfect, semi-perfect, and perfect verꦬsions of himself.

And, with each new form, Cell gets a new, more "perfect" voice. These three voices couldn't be more different from each other. Which makes it all the more confusing that somehow they got mixed up multiple times throughout all the games. With Budokai 1, there are multiple instances of Imperfect Cell having Perfect Cells voice. Interestingly, this is because Cell's Japanese voice actor, Norio Wakamoto, only used one static voice for Cell, which influenced the voice direction in Budokai.

24 🌳Raging Blast 2: Fr𓃲eiza's Never Before Seen (Mostly) Final Form

And, speaking of tyrannical villains with multiple forms, why don't we hop on over to Frieza. This Saiyan-exterminating tyrant is the original big bad of the Dragon Ball Z universe. He's known for his absurdly long fight with Goku on Planet Namek, which is in p♈art due to his multiple unnecessary forms.

Remember his third form that was just a reference to the classic film Alien? But, the big error here comes from Raging Blast 2. After turning into his "final f𒉰orm," Freiza states that "it's been a while since anyone has seen this form." Which is absolutely incorrect, as Freiza in the anime says that this form has never been seen before (by anyone but his parents.)

23 Raging Blast 2: Captain Ginyu Isn't Goku Yet 🌸

The Namek arc is still my personal favorite. I just think it has the most originality. One example of the more unique side of this arc is the Ginyu Force. They're a ragtag Sent🌸ai send up and Ginyu is the leader. His fight with Goku is renowned among the community as Ginyu has a body-switching power that almost ends Goku.

Seriously, this ability would still be useful even in current Dragon Ball Super events. But, in Raging Blast 2, when Goku fights Ginyu, one of his lines is "Great! Now we can get my body back!." Good news Goku, your body never got switched𝓡? Obviously, this was meant to play after they do switch but wasn't programmed correctly.

22 Xenoverse: Only The Old Mღan And Clown Can Drain Energy👍

I loved the first Xenoverse. A game where I can literally create my own Dragon Ball Z character? Sign me up. But in any case, Xenoverse is known for its extensiꦕve character creator.🐈 You could make a human, Saiyan, Namekian, Buu, or whatever Freiza's race is. But weirdly, no androids, despite Androids 17 and 18 being playable.

But the mistake here is that Androids 17, 18, and even Super Buu can 𒉰use the energy absorption techniques that Androids 15 and 16 used. Those were specifically built into those models and it makes no sense as to how 17/18 could use this move. Other than the fact that they wanted to include all the android moves, which I do understand. But it's wrong nonetheless.

21 Xenoverse: I Just Want To Be A Robot 🔴

And while we're talking about it, I hate that there is no android race in the first Xenoverse. I mean Gero made like 21 of them (including the new one made for Dragon Ball FighterZ), so why can't we make one too? To add insult to injury, in Xenoverse, even though An🍨droids aren't play🍨able, you can pick up their skills.

This 🌠would be cool usually, but it ends up being a bit of a slap in the face. Why make android specific moves learna൲ble by your player character, without letting them create an android? Never mind that it's just lame, it's an actual continuity error as well.

20 FighterZ: The Only T𓆏ime A Single Earring Isn't Super Cool

Dragon Ball FighterZ is one of the most faithful games in existence. Both in terms of aesthetic and content. Honestly, ArcSys seem like magicians in the way they make 3D models look 2D with Dragon Ball FighterZ and Guilty Gear Xrd. In order to do that, however, they've go💧t to bend the 🎃models in some pretty outlandish ways. That I could easily forgive.

But, one mistake they made is forgetting Vegetto's second earring. Specifically, when he blasts the Final Kamehameha, the Goku side earring is nowhere to be seen. The entire gimmic𒅌k of the character is dependent on those two earrings. It's like leaving out Trunks' sword in his characte🌌r model. Small error, but big consequences.

19 Budokai: Great Ape Vegeta Has Som🍬e T♌ime Traveling Powers

Now, going back into Budokai territory, remember Vegeta? Started out as a bad guy? Is now more liked than Goku by a large portion of the fan-base in the west? Yeah, so we're talking about the Saiyan arc, where Vegeta was trying to crush Goku in his 😼Great Ape form.

During this scene, i♚n the game, we're supposed to rush in as Gohan. But on the way, Vegeta talks about sensing our power level.

Oddly enough, the Prince of Saiyans didn't learn how to detect power levels until the Namek arc. Its how Gohan and 🦂Krillin managed to avoid him for so long on that alien planet. So how does he do it here? A mistake on the developers part, that's how.

18 Budokai: Cell And Piccolo Are Well Acquainte♍d?

We're still deep in Budokai territory, I had a lot of fun with these games but I had no idea how flawed they were until now. This time around it's the C🗹ell arc. Particularly the moment when two green men meet. I'm of course talking about Piccolo and Cell.

In the anime, Piccolo has no idea who this monster is or what he's called. But, in the Budokai game, he calls Cell by name right off the bat. How do you know Cell's name, Piccolo? Did you happen to take a peek at the script? Or did the developers behind your game forget that Piccolo didn't know C♔♈ell yet?

17 Tenkaichi ♐2: Broly Can't Spell His Own Name

And from one confusing Dragon Ball game title to another, we go from Budokai to Budokai Tenkaichi. Basically, these are just deeper, more fleshed out Budokai games. And who better to💯 include that the character people seem to be obsessed with even though he's literally just one big muscle?

I'm talking about Broly, of course, the anatomy nightmare of a Saiyan known for his literal baby rage. Which is funny, because if Broly knew about the mistake made in his regard in this game, h🔥e might be a bit miffed. They forgot to localize his name! On the character select screen, instead of Broly, his name is Brolli. How embarrassing.

16 ♊ Tenkaichi 2: Zangya Is A Little Narcissistic ♒

There are only a few ways that I know of to immediately date your game or fi💖lm. But one of my own personal most hated methods is when any property feels to need to include internet memes as a way of appealing to the yo♒unger generation.

And I'll be honest, out of most other franchises, I didn't expect it from Dragon Ball.

But, in Budokai Tenkaichi 2, Zangya, a character not too many people remember, commits this grave sin. For one of her taunts in the game, Zangya decides to quote that famous song "Don't You Wish Your Girlfriend Was Hot Like Me." And oh boy, does it end up being hard to watch.
