Red Potara Z-Items are items that can be used on characters in the Budokai Tenkaichi series of video games. They made their first debut in the video game Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3.

• Recovering health quickly
• Surpassing limits
• Granting invulnerability
• Halving ki consumption
• Giving flight to characters that cannot use flight
• Increasing the maximum health for all characters by 30,000
• Reducing all Blast 1 moves stock consumption by one
