Illusion Saiyans (幻のサイヤ人, Maboroshi no Saiya-jin; lit. "Phantom Saiyans") are two Saiyans from the past. They made their debut in the Dragon Ball Z franchise as rogue Saiyans in the filler episode "Pendulum Room Peril". Mr. Popo used the Pendulum Room to send Krillin, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu travel to Planet Vegeta over a hundred years in the past to fight those two Saiyans, dubbed Shorty and Scarface by FUNimation Entertainment.

Video game appearancesEdit

The two Saiyans also appear in the video game Dragon Ball Z: Kyōshū! Saiyan. They are accompanied by five warriors who are not Saiyans, but are modeled after preexisting characters in the series. This caste of fighter consists of a tall Saiyan named Brocco, a Makyan named Cinnamon (he has the appearance of a gray-skinned Sansho), a fighter named Cucumber (has the appearance of an orange-skinned Saibaman), another Makyan named Herb (has the appearance of a red-skinned Nicky), another one named Jasmine (has the appearance of a blue-skinned Ginger), a fighter named Kaiware (has the appearance of a blue-skinned Saibaman), and finally, a short Saiyan named Pumpkin.
