Summary
ADragon Ball: Sparking Zeroleaker claims that the game’s roster will contain characters from the upcomingDragon Ball Daimaanime. Fans are fervently anticipating the next iteration of the classicBudokai Tenkaichiseries from Spike Chunsoft and Bandai Namco, with this fourth mainline entry using its original Japanese subtitle for the first time worldwide. Earlier this December,Bandai Namco revealed a new trailer forDragon Ball: Sparking Zeroat The Game Awards 2023, which was well-received by fans.
TheSparking Zerotrailer featured fast aerial combat like pastDragon Ball Z3D arena fighting games, along with a slick anime art style that takes afterDragon Ball FighterZ. Not only that, the trailer also confirmed 16 different possible fighters right off the bat, including characters from both theZandSupereras. This has bolstered the possibilities forSparking Zero’s rumored roster size, which will supposedly feature one of the largestDragon Ballfighting game rosters. This has been backed up by another leaker, who claims the game will feature characters fromDaima.
Twitter user DbsHype, a leaker who covers all sorts ofDragon Ballrelated content, says the roster size is huge and will be one of the biggest fans will ever see. In particular,Dragon Ball: Sparking Zerowill contain fighters from the originalDragon Balltothe upcomingDragon Ball Daimashowthat was revealed in October.Daimafeatures younger versions of the main characters and a brand-new set of villains, specifically a wizard associated with Babidi fromZ’s Majin Buu Saga. Characters from theDragon Ball GTsequel series will also be featured on the roster.
According to Hype, this was based on his source who confirmed the roster from a month ago. If what Hype says is true, thenSparking Zero’s roster could surpass the record formost playable characters in aDragon Ballgame, previously set byBudokai Tenkaichi 3. Similar toSparking Zero,Budokai Tenkaichi 3had pulled characters from all corners of theDragon Ballmythos to include on its roster, including Arale fromDr. Slump, movie-exclusive villains like Dr. Wheelo, and even the originalDragon Ballsuch as a young version of Chi-Chi.
Dragon Ball: Sparking Zerohas already shown off some of its expansive roster choices, such as including both theZandSuperera iterations of Future Trunks, along with unexpected picks like Bergamo fromSuper’s Tournament of Power arc. Including characters fromDaimawould likely please fans and be a great tie-in to the show as well. This is still a rumor, however, so fans should take Hype’s claim with a grain of salt until Bandai Namco and Spike Chunsoft provide more information regardingSparking Zero.
