With the announcement of Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, several fanbases raised an eyebrow of curiosity. There are those who’ve loved the Dragon Ball franchise for years now, and there’s a new game that’s honoring some of the best anime characters the world has ever seen. Then, there are fans of Budokai Tenkaichi who are finally getting a new installment in the series.
Enough gameplay footage and screenshots suggest that Sparking Zero is indeed a game that’s willing to live up to these expectations, and there’s one character in the roster that’s hyping up the anticipation even more. Take a look at Vegeta (Super), the infamous Super Saiyan God.
Vegeta Is Essential to Dragon Ball’s Ongoing Legacy
Every character that’s part of the Sparking Zero roster has had an impact on the long-term narrative of the series. Some of them have grown stronger, some are estranged, and some have even journeyed long enough to see multiple forms of the anime come to life. Such is the impact of Vegeta, Super Saiyan God, on the Dragon Ball franchise.
Based on the events of the manga and anime shows, Vegeta is able to manifest and actualize his Super Sayian God form. According to the manga, this happens during a battle when going against Goku Black. Fans will be familiar with the red-haired version of Vegeta from Dragon Ball Super: Broly.
