Background[]

RaichiNotGhost

Dr. Lychee on Planet Plant, moments before his death by a Great Ape

In the Tuffles' prime, Dr. Lychee was the greatest scientist of their civilization. In Age 730, the Saiyans eventually massacred the entire Tuffle race and conquered the planet, renaming it Planet Vegeta in honor of their king. Lychee makes a desperate attempt to escape with his most esteemed invention, Hatchiyack, but he is kicked towards his supercomputer and killed as his capsule prepares for liftoff. The capsule finds refuge on the Dark Planet, a planet at the end of the universe. There, the supercomputer Hatchiyack continues incubating until it conceives the Ghost Warriors; among them is Ghost Lychee (ゴースト・ライチー Gōsuto Raichī), whose only wish is to eradicate the last remaining Saiyans.

Ghost Lychee in Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans

The scientist releases Destron Gas on Earth, which disturbs the Dragon Team concentration in using ki attacks. They defeat the monsters that guard the Destron generators, then Ghost Warriors of past villains appear to attack. This is all part of his plan to lure Goku, Gohan, Future Trunks and Vegeta (the last remaining Saiyans) to the Dark Planet. Once on there, they battle Dr. Lychee, whose only defense is a barrier. Once the barrier is shattered, Vegeta blasts Dr. Lychee with a Final Flash attack. After the ghostly Tuffle rematerializes and tries to form a shield once again, Vegeta executes him again, shattering the barrier along with him. When a small fragment of Lychee falls to the ground and screams with all his hatred of the Saiyans, Vegeta crushes what remained of him under his foot. Lychee's hatred is then absorbed by Hatchiyack and his ghost overshadows the machine, bringing it to its final form. In Raging Blast 2 remake, once Hatchiyack is destroyed, Ghost Lychee appears and gives off one last cry before vanishing.
