Rygol 7 is a planet only mentioned by name in the Ocean Group dub when Vegeta explains to Son Goku how his squad had trouble defending against the advanced technology used by the planet's people to repel the Saiyans until Bardock developed the "fake moon" technique used to transform into a Great Ape in the absence of a real moon.

This line is removed entirely from the Funimation dub and was not present in the original Japanese dub either. This statement also brings about clear examples of notable inconsistencies and mistakes by Ocean Productions, such as Vegeta stating that Goku's "brilliant scientist" father created the technique which allowed them to achieve victory. With the release of Dragon Ball Z: Bardock: The Father of Goku, it was shown that Bardock perished with the destruction of his planet at the hands of Freeza in 737 Age. It would also have been implausible for Vegeta to have fought alongside Bardock as he was only five years old at the time of Bardock's death and Bardock was considered a low-class Saiyan warrior.

Trivia

• Rigel 7 is the name of a planet in the Simpsons where the alien duo Kang and Kodos are from. It is pronounced exactly like "Rygol 7" in English, and it is possible that the Ocean Productions deliberately used this name.
