"We Tuffles tried to help the Saiyans. And all they gave us in return was death and destruction. I will never forgive Saiyans for what they did to us, even if God does." |
Dr. Raichi is the main antagonist of the OVA special Gaiden: Saiyajin Zetsumetsu Keikaku. In the Tuffles' prime, he was the greatest scientist of their civilization. Eventually 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 made a desperate attempt to escape with his most esteemed invention, Hachihyaku, but was killed as his capsule prepared for liftoff. The capsule found refuge on the Dark Planet, a world at the end of the universe, where Hachihyaku continued incubating until it conceived the "ghost warriors," among them a renewed Dr. Raichi, whose only wish is to eradicate the last remaining Saiyans.
The scientist releases Destron Gas on Earth, which disturbs the Z Fighters concentration in using ki attacks. They defeat the demons 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, Trunks and Vegeta (the last remaining Saiyans) to the Dark Planet. Once on there, they battle Dr. Raichi, whose only attack is barrier. Once the barrier is shattered, Vegeta blasts Dr. Raichi with a Final Flash attack. After Dr. Raichi rematerializes and tries to form a shield once again, Vegeta brutally executes him, shattering the barrier along with him. When a small fragment of Raichi falls to the ground and screams with all his hatred of the Saiyans, Vegeta crushes what remained of him under his foot.
[edit] Trivia
- The concept of, and even some aspects of his appearance were recycled into the Machine Mutant that is Dr. Myuu in Dragon Ball GT.
- Dr. Raichi never appears in the English dub, as the OVA has yet to be dubbed.
