To do this, Dr. Raichi puts devices on Earth that emit Destron Gas and destroy all life. When Mr. Popo finds out that only a few hours are left until the planet's destruction, Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Trunks, and Piccolo rush to destroy the evil devices located around the planet. They manage to destroy all but one that is protected by an impenetrable energy barrier. However, Freeza, Coola, Tullece and Lord Slug appear and engage the heroes in individual fight. It is revealed by Kaio that the villains are ghost warriors, and will continually come back to life when killed unless defeated in the same way their lives were originally ended.
The heroes track Dr. Raichi down to the Dark Planet and engage him, discovering that his ghost warriors are generated by a machine called Hatchihyack, a device powered by the hate of the Tsufruians. It is also revealed that Dr. Raichi is a ghost warrior himself, generated by Hatchihyack. When Vegeta vaporizes Raichi, preventing him from re-materializing, the hate Dr. Raichi had causes Hatchihyack to exceed its limit. Hatchihyack appears in a powerful android body, whose power is said to match or perhaps even exceed Broli's, according to Goku. Hatchiyack devastates the heroes until the Saiyans, after having transformed into their Super Saiyan states, combine their powers together into one massive wave of energy, ending the threat of the ghost.
The re-make featured with Raging Blast 2 doesn't include Mr. Popo, the Monsters or Goddo Gadon.

Dr. Raichi is one of the only survivors of the Tsufruians, a race that once lived on Planet Plant before the coming of the Saiyans.
