Status: Partially Lost

Dragon Ball Z: The Real 4-D at Super Tenkaichi Budokai is a short film that aired exclusively in Universal Japan in June 2017. A follow-up to the previous year's Dragon Ball Z: The Real 4-D, the film takes audiences into an epic fight between Goku and Broly. However despite its predecessor being available in full online and the film introducing the new form of God Fusion Goku, no high-quality full cam rips of the film exist.

Plot

For the experience, the introduction video before the 4D experience was in regular anime format. In the video, visitors are introduced to a "Super World Martial Arts Tournament." The tournament is in its penultimate round, and Piccolo, Krillin, Vegeta, Goku, and Great Saiyaman are all competing against each other in the round. The winner will fight Mr. Satan in the final. Mr. Satan confronts Goku before the round starts and reminds Goku of his promise to let Mr. Satan win if Goku wins the penultimate round. The video also reveals that Mr. Satan has stolen the Dragon Balls that Bulma has gathered.

Visitors are told that they're sitting in a special Capsule Corp. audience pod that Bulma is piloting. The 4D video itself is in CG, although the CG is of really good quality (previous 4D shows for past summer attractions for and also had really good quality CG). The round starts, and Vegeta obviously goes after Goku first, leaving the other three to duke it out amongst themselves. Krillin throws Gohan out of bounds after distracting him by taking off his Great Saiyaman sunglasses and exposing his true identity to the audience. As Piccolo then has Krillin on the ropes, Android 18 shows up out of nowhere and offers Piccolo a drink (she is selling concessions). Krillin uses the distraction to escape and knock Piccolo to the ground, causing him to be out of bounds.

Suddenly, Broly appears from a nearby body of water and the tournament is halted as all five participants and Android 18 fight him. Vegeta and Goku immediately go into their Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan forms, but are sent away by an attack. Broly is then about to attack the audience and Bulma in their audience pod, but Goku goes to block the attack. Audience members see a white screen and then see Goku miraculously unhurt by taking the attack. It turns out Vegeta had jumped in front of Goku to take the attack all on himself, as he was worried about Bulma. Vegeta then falls to the ground, and Goku is later hit by a devastating attack by Broly. As it seems all hope is lost, Mr. Satan summons Shenlong, and asks Shenlong to defeat Broly. Shenlong says he can't do that, but tells Goku he can use "that technique." Goku nods and asks the audience to put up their index fingers so he can take their energy. Goku then fuses with the audience, showing a form with both blue and black hair, and the audience now sees the rest of the fight from a first-person Goku perspective. Goku and the audience together perform a Kamehameha attack, defeating Broly. All of the fighters descend back to the ground, but land outside of the bounds of the tournament. Mr. Satan alone is still in bounds coincidentally, so he wins the tournament.

Availability

Dragon Ball Z: The Real 4-D at Super Tenkaichi Budokai was part of Universal Japan's Universal Jump Summer event in 2017, airing from June 30th, 2017, to October 1st, 2017. Like many other theme park shorts, there is no official release of this film. A full rip does exist, but the footage is incredibly low quality and the screen is obscured most of the time.

The YouTube channel SaiyanRangers has uploaded two news segments related to the film, showing off roughly 2 to 3 minutes of footage from the short.
