Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero DLC Leaks Could Atone for a Roster Sin

As a seasoned gamer with decades of Dragon Ball gaming under my belt, I can say that I’ve seen it all – from the humble beginnings of Budokai Tenkaichi to the current juggernaut that is Sparking Zero. The anticipation for new DLC in this game has been palpable, and recent leaks have only fueled the fire.

As a hardcore gamer, I can’t help but feel that the anticipation for more content in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is reaching new heights. It seems like the game has been subtly hinting at some exciting developments to come in the near future. The recent leaks and a few surprising omissions from Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero have only fueled speculation and discussion among fans like myself.

When it comes to playable characters in Sparking Zero, it seems odd to request even more content, given that the game already boasts a massive character roster. In fact, Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero’s Season Pass has made it clear that they plan to add up to 20 new characters to the mix. While these additional characters haven’t been officially confirmed for the first round of DLC yet, recent leaks hint that Sparking Zero might be addressing one of its roster’s significant gaps.

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero DLC Could Embrace More Classic Characters

Dragon Ball’s Early Days Are Mostly Absent from Sparking Zero

In other words, with over 180 characters in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, it’s reasonable to think that every character has been accounted for. However, despite Sparking Zero coming very close, there are still many well-known characters yet to make an appearance. In reality, entire aspects of Dragon Ball have not received much attention in Sparking Zero.

Primarily, it’s the original “Dragon Ball” series that came before “Dragon Ball Z” and its subsequent sequels that stands out. At present, the series is primarily embodied by just one character – Teen Goku. Characters like Yamcha and Roshi do have costumes reminiscent of their early days, which is a nice touch. However, many fans feel that the core of the franchise warrants more than just a nostalgic wink, and rumors hint that developers might share this sentiment as well.

Recent Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero Leak Gives Shape to DLC Plans

Since the launch of Sparking Zero, there’s been quite a bit of deep data exploration going on. So far, players have primarily encountered character lists, but with few clear hints about their roles within the game. For instance, the leaked characters from Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero might be unused content, or potential additions for upcoming DLC releases.

Initially, one leak offers a slight enhancement in understanding. A Twitter user named ProDigitalY shared two images, hinting at the potential release of a “Martial Arts Pack,” an alleged DLC that hasn’t been publicly announced yet. Although this Martial Arts Pack hasn’t officially surfaced, it doesn’t rule out speculation about its title.

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero’s Martial Arts Pack Could Give Spotlight to Early Story Arcs

Even though Sparking Zero showcases the epic battles that Dragon Ball is now famous for, initially, Dragon Ball was characterized by smaller-scale encounters. Akira Toriyama, renowned for his gag manga, infused a humorous touch into martial arts, giving the series a distinct flavor. Given that the Budokai Tenkaichi series derives its name from a martial arts tournament, it’s reasonable to assume that the Martial Arts pack might concentrate on the series that originated it.

The title “Martial Arts Pack” might seem a bit unclear, as many characters in Dragon Ball exhibit martial arts skills to some extent. However, Dragon Ball narrowly focused on legitimate martial arts compared to the broader scope of subsequent series. Similarly, the numerous martial arts tournaments within Dragon Ball were rarely replicated by its successors.

To put the icing on the cake, Dragon Ball boasts an array of memorable characters that seem destined for inclusion in Sparking Zero. Characters like Demon King Piccolo, Tao Pai Pai, and Android 8 have already made a strong impression. This is not just due to their roles within Dragon Ball, but also because they’ve left a lasting impact on the rosters of previous Budokai Tenkaichi games. Although it’s possible that the Martial Arts Pack might focus on something different, strengthening the game with characters from its earliest arcs is undoubtedly a commendable goal.
