Since its announcement, Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero has been one of the most anticipated games in recent months, and fans of this legendary anime are overwhelmed with excitement. Already confirmed, Bandai Namco said the game would have over 160 characters to fight. However, it appears that an apparent error may have confirmed the existence of a new character that fans will love.

At a recent anime expo in the United States, the actor who voices Goku in the English version of the anime and games might have said too much about which character he voiced.

Sean Schemmel, answering a fan’s question during an open panel, talked about how each of Goku’s transformations has a slight variation in tone of voice. While naming the transformations in which he acted in the game, he inadvertently mentioned Goku in Super Saiyan 4, something the studio had not confirmed yet.

Sean Schemmel Has Made Fans Happy

Regrettably, the actor’s lack of social media activity prevented any confirmation or denial of this news. You will probably see this version of Goku in the game. The first character trailer confirmed most of this character’s and Vegeta’s transformations, but it did not include Super Saiyan 4. This could suggest that the transformation will either be a future DLC for the game or a surprise for fans upon its release.

Bandai Namco has faced criticism in the past for introducing numerous characters as extra content without immediately integrating them into the game. This happened in titles like Dragon Ball Xenoverse or FighterZ, where practically years later, the studio continued releasing characters as DLC for players to acquire.

But judging by the incredible number of fighters the company has already announced will be available, it might be that this transformation of the anime’s protagonist is in the game from the start.

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, in addition to having this immense number of fighters to choose from, has already confirmed that it will have a story mode, the possibility to fight in split-screen mode, and many other features. The title will be released on October 10th for PS5, Xbox Series S/X, and PC. The game will serve as the spiritual successor and direct sequel to the beloved Budokai Tenkaichi saga.

I'm a big fan of movies and videogames in general. I really love Pokémon and Godzilla. One of my favorite games is The Last of Us, Part II. A compelling and well-written story is always welcome.
