Normal maps is a term concerning normals of a model, using them it can create high level details on a low poly model.
You "bake" the normals of a high poly model onto a low poly version of the same model.

Except that 95% of Dragon Ball Z regions don't have this level of fidelity. Offering it without stepped-shading will just give you a highly traditional (and out of place) appearance akin to what Earth Special Forces has. Using it with stepped-shading would again create too much detail in contrast to your source.
The only areas where normal maps would be proper in a Dragon Ball Z game would be for controlling shading on character clothing and very specialized objects.

You'll need GPU shader/program support and then a shader written for handling normal maps in a proper manner. The former does not exist as an implementation in ZEQ2-lite (yet).

I love how you used the word: "yet."  That's would be so awesome man.
