Sparking Zero is the next step for the Budokai Tenkaichi series, with many wondering if the new game will live up to previous rosters.

Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero boasts a massive roster of characters and modes that will satisfy casual and hardcore fans.

The triumphant return of the Budokai Tenkaichi series features over 180 characters, a custom battle creator and surprises for series vets.

Well, after a long hiatus, the true-blue arena fighters are back with Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, an immense game befitting of its ridiculous moniker, which finally adopts the series’”Sparking” subtitle from Japan.

Bandai Namco confirmed that Sparking Zero will get more than 20 characters as part of its season pass. The game's producer, Jun Furutani, has now confirmed that those 20 characters are split across three DLC packs.

If the 182-character roster stirred something in your Dragon Ball memories, that's because it appears to be a callback to one of the episodes from the original Dragon Ball series. More specifically, you have to venture back to Dragon Ball Episode 84 which was titled "Rivals and Arrivals" in the English version of the show and helped kick off the Tien Saga.

Sparking! ZERO's Story Mode is about to right all the wrongs Dragon Ball Super made sending Future Trunks away from the main timeline.
