Dragon Ball Sparking Zero’s first DLC pack is scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2025, but who will the characters be included? Let’s analyze the most likely candidates together.
The first of three planned DLC packs is expected to include characters from the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero movie, while the next two will be centered around the Dragon Ball Daima anime. It has already been confirmed that, among these three packs, more than 20 new characters will appear, which leaves us looking at around seven to eight fighters per pack.
To date, only Gamma 1 and Gamma 2 have been confirmed for the first pack. Here are the ones we suspect are also there.
BANDAI NAMCOThe most likely characters from Sparking Zero DLC Pack 1
When reviewing the film, a few obvious additions jump out, and it would be unwise of Bandai not to include some of them, risking anger from Dragon Ball fans.
Beast Gohan is almost guaranteed to be included, given his key role in defeating the final boss, Cell Max. The only question that remains is: how many forms of Gohan from Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero will be added?
In the film, he goes from his base form to Super Saiyan, then to his Ultimate form, before unlocking the long-awaited white-haired Beast transformation.
CrunchyrollCell Max could be Sparking Zero’s next giant character.
Piccolo is also an easy choice to predict. It’s likely that the developers will include his form from the movie as well as his new transformation into Orange Piccolo.
Finally, Cell Max seems like an obvious choice as an additional giant character on the fighter roster. Including the Gammas, this would bring the first DLC pack to nine characters if you count all forms of Gohan and Piccolo.
It’s possible that subsequent DLC packs will feature fewer characters and there will simply be more content from Super Hero. Now let’s look at the less likely characters.
The less likely characters in Sparking Zero DLC Pack 1
Near the end of the film, the teenage versions of Trunks and Goten arrive to help fight Cell Max. Although they don’t transform into Super Saiyan, they achieve a fusion…well more or less.
CrunchyrollGoten and Trunks have a small chance of appearing in the Sparking Zero DLC.
Having not performed the fusion dance in a while, they botch it and transform into obese Gotenks.
It’s a bold bet, but it’s possible that all three of these characters will be included in the game. Of course, it all depends on the actual number of fighters that Bandai means by “20+.”
The very unlikely characters of Sparking Zero DLC Pack 1
Finally, let’s explore some more daring options. One possibility that would absolutely drive the Dragon Ball community crazy would be the addition of Vomit/Android 21.
BANDAI NAMCOAndroid 21 would be great in Sparking Zero, but don’t count on it.
Technically, she made a cameo appearance in the film, although she is from Dragon Ball FighterZ. This character would ignite the community, but in terms of actual probability, we think there is a very low chance of seeing her.
Pan is also a very unlikely choice. Although she is young, she has already shown that she is stronger than Mr. Satan and other human characters. That said, with the focus on the rest of the film’s cast, it seems unlikely that she will be added.
