In the build-up toDragon Ball: Sparking Zero’s upcoming release, Bandai Namco has been pulling back the curtain on the game’s packed roster of heroes and villains from across all mainstreamDragon Ballmedia, showing off a mix of anime icons like Goku and Vegeta alongside more obscure side characters. Most recently, fans were shocked by the revelation thatDragon Ball: Sparking Zerowill feature charactersand alternate forms from the non-canonDragon Ball GTanime, as they were initially led to believe that only fighters fromDragon Ball ZandDragon Ball Superwould be included at launch.
Now the final batch ofDragon Ball: Sparking Zerocharactershas been confirmed in a new trailer from Bandai Namco. It starts by highlighting characters from the laterDragon Ball Superarcs, set to the battle track “Genkai Toppa X Survivor,” which sadly isn’t included in the game. Among the warriors locked in battle are a nameless Freiza Force Solider fighting Gohan, the young Saiyan Cabba in his standard, Super Saiyan, and Super Saiyan 2 forms, Freiza’s Universe 6 counterpart Frost, and the God of Destruction Toppo.

First up is the movie version of Broly, who will join his canonDragon Ball Supercounterpart in his standard, blue-haired Super Saiyan, and hulking Legendary Super Saiyan forms. Freiza’s wicked brother Cooler then appears, showing off both his regular appearance and advanced Final Form before being resurrected as the cybernetic Metal Cooler. Android 13 also appears, as well as his more powerful Fusion Android 13 form.
The next confirmed round ofDragon Ball: Sparking Zerocharacters include Super Garlic Jr from theDragon Ball Z: Dead Zonemovie andGarlic Jr. filler arc, Dr. Wheelo fromThe World’s Strongest, Lord Slug from the movie of the same name in both his normal and Giant forms, Turles fromTree of Might, Bojack and his Full-Power form fromBojack Unbound, Hirudegarn and the heroic Tapion fromWrath of the Dragon, and Janemba, Super Janemba, and Super Gogeta fromFusion Reborn.
