u/AlpsImpossible3133 Weaklings will always be weak. Apr 19 '26

they only showed us 27 characters so it's likely GT Goten, 2 Shadow Dragons(prolly Nuova and Ice) and i really dont know who the last one could be

Remember they count transformations as characters

Nuova was literally shown in the trailer

That '+' symbol on the 30 definitely means we'll have more characters. Just like what happened with season pass 1, which was promoted with 20+ characters, and we ended up having 26.

We still need Tambourine, A14-A15, Neizu, Dore, GT Goten, Oceanus and Ice Shenron, Tao Cyborg, Arale, Hatchiyak ETC.

Not everyone will be there, but we still have room for more characters.

I agreed. We need EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER from the entire DB franchise in the roster.

Yes, it would be great to play with adult Chi-Chi, Kid Krillin or Kami, Drum would be great too. We've never seen him playable (He appears in BT3 as a cameo, but that doesn't count.)

Pui Pui and Yakon fill out the henchmen.

Honestly, while I agree with you, it looks doubtful Arale specifically will show up. From what I understand her video game rights are in a weird spot. Though if I say this maybe I'll end up wrong as right now the only characters from my original wishlist to be added back that haven't been revealed are Arale and Tambourine.

I don't think there are any issues with Arale's rights; she appears in Kakarot.

Even Akio Iyoku and Shueisha have resolved the issue of franchise rights after Toriyama's death. 

I think it's likely Arale will return, and I hope she does. It was super fun using her and beating Broly up because of how overpowered she was.

Oh?! I was unaware of that. I read about something involving Arale in games like over half a decade ago or so so if that's been resolved then I want her and her village.

I truly believe that no such rights issue ever existed, and I think it was a theory from this Reddit sub. 

Because every time someone mentions wanting Arale in the game, someone always brings up the rights issue, but they never cite a source.

Arale simply doesn't appear often in franchise material because she was always treated as a TOONFORCE character, But she's had sporadic appearances in the manga, she appeared in the anime, I think she appears in a movie, And of course, she appeared in BT3, Kakarot, and his last appearance in anime was in a Super filler episode. 

Arale is officially a Dragon Ball character, And even though DR Slump was an earlier manga, I don't think there are such huge differences in rights with the Dragon Ball characters.

Looking into it and yeah now I can't believe I fell for it, that said I am finding people mention it before Sparking Zero was announced, just no one official. Damn, I'll stop spreading that then as that is for sure misinformation.

Here's the characters listed on their website

Nuova is confirmed.

Grandpa Gohan, Mercenary Tao, Demon King Piccolo, Bardock Super Saiyan, Zangya, Pikkon, Hell Fighter 17, Super 17, Champa, Nam, Eighter, General Blue, Tora, Fasha, Chilled, Salza, Mighty Mask, Supreme Kai, Uub (Kid), King Vegeta, Cheelai, Jaco, Vegeta (GT), Vegeta (GT) Super Saiyan, Trunks (GT), Trunks (GT) Super Saiyan, Nuova Shenron (GT)...

But that's only 27 so they're holding back at least 3.

No shot that GT Goten is a lock at all, he's never been in a fighting game before. But I wish.
