Throwing an opponent looks fun in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, but knocking them down and vanishing them afterwards is just a treat for the eyes.

SUMMARY

  • Dragonthrow is among the most common techniques appearing in past Dragon Ball games.
  • But the technique looks kind of incomplete without a character vanishing and appearing to land blows on opponents.
  • The combination was last seen in Raging Blast and it is coming back in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero.

Landing blows and sending an opponent away are common instances in the Dragon Ball universe. That looks satisfying, but what’s more satisfying is vanishing and appearing on the other side to land another blow on the opponent, and then another.

In the video game adaptations of the series, the combination has appeared in games like Raging Blast. Now it’s coming back in the upcoming Bandai Namco game and it looks clean and satisfying, of course. Fans are happy to see it making it into the game.

That Move is Filling the Gap from Budokai Tenkaichi 3

Though Vegeta’s missing tail is just a glitch in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, it’ll prevent his opponents from performing a Dragonthrow. The technique appears fascinating in the series’ video game adaptations and users love to throw whoever they are up against in the battles.

As a pivotal technique, developers couldn’t simply have excluded it from the upcoming Spike Chunsoft game. A recent gameplay video showcasing the combo was shared on the internet.

Upon coming across a clip, fans found this combination in the game so satisfying.

Another fan now realizes that it was missing in the game’s predecessor and now they can finally use it.

There will be more such combos in the upcoming game and fans are sure to have fun with Dragonthrow alongside them.

Dragonthrows in Dragon Ball Anime are Simply Fun to Watch

Dragonthrows are fun to watch in anime. Though the video game adaptations of the series emphasize grabbing by the leg, the original anime had some fun instances when it came to using the technique.

Frieza and his dastardly deeds during the Namek saga can make any fan furious towards the antagonist. But let’s accept that, the antagonist was funny. But Goku made fun of him when he grabbed him by the tail to throw the opponent away. And let’s not forget Goku biting his tail.

Dragon throw in the Majin Buu saga, which was recently revealed to be part of the upcoming game, was more fun. Not because Super Saiyan 3 Goku grabbed Majin Buu by his antenna. But because he made a punching bag out of the evil creature.

All those instances will make an appearance during the battles. Let’s just hope users don’t get addicted to those moves in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero.
