From Granolah to Moro, there are a few characters who are yet to appear in the Dragon Ball anime. We don’t know when that will happen, but given the smallest hints the upcoming Bandai Namco is throwing, who knows these characters will make their appearance in there?
Though the recent hint didn’t really indicate the inclusion of a character but a moment from the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga, that is still exclusive to manga. Maybe there’s more than this moment in the game that its latest trailer showcased.
That One Small Manga Reference Could be Significant
We don’t know if manga-exclusive characters will make an appearance in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, but Jun Furutani made sure manga references are there. While it might be small, fans managed to catch them from its latest trailer.
During the ’50 DAYS FROM NOW’ trailer, Perfected Ultra Instinct Goku can be seen pulling a gesture that was seen before in the manga.
WAIT, he's not wrong. The animation of Goku's transformation from UI Sign to MUI really looks a lot like what we saw in the Moro arc.

If we consider that as another reference to the DBS manga, then maybe… https://t.co/GCFWBEQUqi pic.twitter.com/wmhV1w3XYE
And it’s not simply the gesture; it looks like the developers have worked on the costumes well. Costumes has been one of the favorite topics among the fans, it seems.
UI also seemingly is getting a full Gi costume, based on his portrait during the UI vs Rose gameplay

Akin to that of Dragon Ball GT, manga characters do not seem to be part of the game, but fans remain hopeful.
There’s More to Perfected Ultra Instinct in Dragon Ball
Fans are crazy about Goku’s Ultra Instinct form in Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball universe. It has its levels and Perfected Ultra Instinct remains the most beloved to them. But the transformation has more to it than many might know.
There is one giant energy form that Goku is able to pull off during the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga. As Moro, the main antagonist of the arc, is able to use the Ultra Instinct transformation but wasn’t able to control it. This causes his body to swell.
It was then that Goku’s giant energy form was revealed as he confronted Moro in his larger-than-life body. As both the individuals held arms in a power struggle, the series protagonist is able to land a clean blow on the evil wizard, obliterating him for good.
What do you think about this reference? Do you think there will be manga characters in the game? We would like to know about it in the comments section below.
