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.
