Destron Gas

Destron Gas is a debilitating toxic substance featured in the Dragon Ball: Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans storyline. The gas progressively weakens any living creature that breathes it, sapping their strength and combat effectiveness over time. It was deployed on Earth through a network of Destron Gas Generators, large machines strategically placed at various locations around the planet.

In the original version, five generators were placed at Grand Apron, the Western Desert, Poco Poco Volcano, the Land of Ice, and atop Tongari Tower in West City. The remake repositioned the four machines to Diablo Desert, Satan City, Jingle Village, and West City, with the West City generator protected by a powerful energy shield. The Z Fighters systematically hunted down and destroyed each generator to halt the gas's spread.

Regenerative Properties

Beyond its debilitating effects on the living, the Destron Gas possesses a remarkable secondary ability: it can regenerate the physical bodies of deceased beings who bear deep grudges against the Saiyans. Through this property, the gas resurrected Frieza, Cooler, Lord Slug, and Turles, giving them temporary physical forms to challenge the Z Fighters. Dr. Lychee, the Tuffle scientist who orchestrated the plan, used this capability as the cornerstone of his revenge against the Saiyan race.
