Dragon Ball Z: Super Butōden 2 (ドラゴンボールZ 超武闘伝2, Doragon Bōru Zetto Chō Butōden Tzū?, Dragon Ball Z: Super Fighting Story 2), called Dragon Ball Z 2: la Légende Saien in France, is the second installment in the Super Butōden series. The game was released in Japan on December 17, 1993 and in France and Spain in 1994. Super Butōden 2 features 10 playable characters (8 normal, 2 unlockable with a code) and its story mode covers the Cell Games, as well as several stories involving Bojack, Zangya, and Broli completely unrelated to the movies they hail from. For unknown reasons, these three characters were renamed Kujila, Aki, and Tara in the French version, respectively.
The story mode became very popular at the time because of its many different variations. Depending on if the player wins or loses a battle, the story will take a different turn, which leads to a lot of possibilities to experience. The official French translation was clumsy and most of the time hardly comprehensible for anyone unfamiliar with the Dragon Ball story. A significant number of sentences were grammatically incorrect, sometimes to the point of complete incoherence.
