As we inch closer to the release of Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, more news surfaces regarding the game. The game is trying to recapture the essence of the anime, and it shows as Spike Chunsoft continues to excite fans with captivating details about the game, the latest of which suggests the Great Saiyaman will also be playable in the game.
The Great Saiyaman is essentially a meme character in the anime and has been featured in past Dragon Ball games. However, the idea that the Great Saiyaman will have his own cutscenes in the game will be definitely interesting to see.
The Great Saiyaman Addition to Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero Is a Welcome Surprise
That’s not to say that the Great Saiyaman hasn’t been seen in previous games, as he made appearances in the Budokai Tenkaichi series before. However, he is an overlooked character when it comes to these games simply because he is an alter ego of Gohan.
Whenever the topic of the Great Saiyaman arises, fans are reminded of the overall goofiness of the character. This is partly because the Great Saiyaman was introduced after the Cell Games saga, and the overall tone of the arc was on a lighter note.
It's official – the Great Saiyaman will join the #DBSZ roster on October 11.

What’s interesting is that the Great Saiyaman will likely have storytime in the game. When you consider the first-person perspective of the game and the introduction of cutscenes, the Great Saiyaman is a pleasant addition.
This Game is Building Up to Potentially Be the Best in the Franchise
It’s fair to say that the upcoming title has a lot of hype behind it. In addition to the big roster, the use of Unreal Engine 5 takes the visuals of the game to the next level. The game will essentially make you feel like you are playing the anime.
It’s also worth considering you will be able to interact with the surroundings and make use of them in your fights. Everything in sight will be destroyable, which means the game is bringing total chaos to the battlefield.
Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is also bringing a unique mechanic to the series which will allow you to assign points to your fighter before a battle. You’ll also be able to choose specific abilities for your fighter, granting you full control of your battle style.
