The official release of Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO is just around the corner, but the full identity of all the fighters in the initial roster remains unknown. We will get more information soon, but a recent leak revealed some of the fighters that will make an appearance.
The new entry in the Budokai Tenkaichi series will continue the tradition of featuring a massive roster; specifically, players will be able to select a total of 164 characters, which includes transformations and fusions. Naturally, this number will increase post-launch with the addition of downloadable content.
Although Goku and Vegeta make up a large portion of the roster, other iconic fighters from Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super will also enter the battlefield. Thus, a leak confirmed the return of one of the franchise's most memorable villains and Gohan's most iconic transformation (or form).

Super Buu and Ultimate Gohan will appear in Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO
A few weeks ago, Bandai Namco and Spike Chunsoft shared a trailer focused on the Saiyan and Frieza arcs, confirming the return of Dodoria, the Saibamen, Zarbon, and more iconic characters from that part of the manga’s story. They also released a teaser that showcased fighters from the Android and Cell sagas. It seems the developers are following the anime's chronological order.
Recently, new screenshots from the upcoming issue of Japan's V-Jump magazine surfaced. There, the return of at least 5 new characters from Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO was confirmed. All of them belong to the Majin Buu arc, the final arc of the Dragon Ball Z era.
In the screenshots, you can see Super Buu, the version of Majin Buu that emerges after he sheds his evil side. Fans will be thrilled to know that his fusion forms, including those where he absorbs Gohan and Gotenks against their will, also make an appearance.
Kid Buu, the villain's final transformation who loses the battle against Goku’s Spirit Bomb in the anime, will also be present in Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO. Judging by the leak, he will be able to use the special attack that destroyed Earth in the original story.
Finally, Ultimate Gohan, the iconic form Goku’s son gains after his training with the Elder Kai, will also be a playable character in the fighting game. It’s worth noting that other fighters from that arc, such as Gotenks, Spopovich, Videl, and Vegito, were previously confirmed.
Here are the new characters confirmed for Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO:
- Super Buu
- Super Buu (Gohan absorbed)
- Super Buu (Gotenks absorbed)
- Kid Buu
- Ultimate Gohan
It’s important to note that the fighting game will appear at gamescom Opening Night Live 2024, taking place on August 20. During the event, it’s likely that the trailer confirming the addition of these and possibly more characters will be shown.
