Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zerohas revealed its full roster, and it’s fittingly impressive for the fourth game in the fan-favoriteBudokai Tenkaichiarena fighter series.The incredibly large roster includes 182 heroes and villains from across the entireDragon Balluniverse, even non-canon media. Alongside 19 different versions of Goku will be Cell (first form, second form, and perfect form), nine versions of Gohan, 11 versions of Vegeta, and Krillin, to name just a few.

Any missing characters still have a chance to appear in the game, as multiple DLC packs have already been confirmed for release in the coming months. Players won’t need to be anxious for any new characters to come out, sinceunlocking the entireDragon Ball: Sparking! Zerorostermay take some time.

Zerohave origins from all over the series(viaGame Rant), but are all important enough or popular enough that they’re certainly not being overlooked.

Nuova and Eis Shenron
Arc Introduced or First Appearance
FighterZandXenoverse 2

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zerohas only just come out, but it already has at least three DLC confirmed for release through 2025. These packs will include content from 2022’sDragon Ball Super: Super Heroand 2024’sDragon Ball DAIMA.It’s likely that any missing characters from the initial roster are simply being saved for release in a future DLC pack.

ZeroSteampage, all three of the DLC packs will add 20-plus new characters for fans to look forward to.
