Ghost Warrior

Ghost Warriors are spectral recreations of deceased fighters, generated by the Tuffle supercomputer Hatchiyack as part of Dr. Raichi's plan to eradicate the Saiyan race. They appear in the Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans OVA and its remake. The Ghost Warriors replicate the power and abilities of villains like Frieza, Cooler, Turles, and Lord Slug, serving as the vanguard of Raichi's revenge.

Dr. Raichi was a Tuffle scientist who survived the Saiyan genocide of his people by uploading his consciousness into a machine before dying. He spent decades developing Hatchiyack, a device powered by hatred that could generate Ghost Warriors. By deploying Destron Gas generators across Earth to weaken the planet's defenders, Raichi created the conditions for his Ghost Warriors to strike.

The Ghost Warriors that appeared most prominently included Frieza, Cooler, Turles, and Lord Slug, all villains who had been killed by Saiyans. Raditz has also appeared in this state across various versions of the Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans. Each one fought with the techniques and power they possessed in life.

Individual Ghost Warriors can be destroyed, but the Hatchiyack machine can regenerate them, making them a persistent threat until the machine itself is shut down. The Z Fighters ultimately had to confront Hatchiyack directly, which proved to be a far more dangerous opponent than any single Ghost Warrior. Hatchiyack possessed power that rivaled or exceeded Super Saiyan levels.

The recreated warriors possess power comparable to their original selves, potentially enhanced by the Destron Gas energy. However, they are not the real individuals and may lack the tactical depth or adaptability of the originals. Their existence also depends entirely on the machine that generates them.
