Video Games

The Eastern Capital in Super Dragon Ball Z

East City can be visited in Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans. After the arrival of the Saiyans, enemies encountered in the East City Ruins are Someone's Robot, Experiment #7, Experiment #9, Failed Experiment, Mad Scientist, and all the types of Saibamen featured in the game.

It is a playable battle stage in Super Dragon Ball Z. The Dr. Slump character Sourman can be seen running across the street after a telephone booth is smashed by the fighting charcters, and Oolong can be seen after a car is smashed.

East City is also a playable battle stage called Eastern Capital in the arcade game Dragon Ball: Zenkai Battle Royale.

Trivia

• In the censored version, it said that Nappa had destroyed an abandoned warehouse section and that nobody was harmed in the blast, when in reality it was in a busy metropolitan area as many bystanders are watching them moments before the blast and Vegeta comments on it being a shame that it is the weekend and that the office blocks would not be full.
