Story wise, Ultimate Butoden runs from the beginning of the “Z” story with Raditz up through the end of the Majin Boo story arc. Additional stories pulled from the source material are also included, such as Bardock’s assault on Freeza, the Broli movies, and more. “What If?” material tends to focus on specific characters and bizarre scenarios for them. One of the earliest puts Yamcha against some of the major foes… with him dying at the end of each fight no matter what

Many have hysterical cutscenes that play out almost exactly the same as in the original anime, but with — for example — a sparkly Yamcha showing up on a different cliff right as Freeza loses his temper against Kuririn. In this case, you play the match and win as Freeza, and then watch a cutscene play out mirroring Goku attempting to leave a defeated Freeza on Namek.

It is insane, it is crazy, and it is always genuinely funny and interesting. It is the very definition of “fan service” in a way that we just do not see anymore, from developers who love this damn series just as much as their consumers.
