Summary
Players have found a special team interaction inDragon Ball: Sparking Zero, which has Gohan talking to Pan, Mr. Satan, and Piccolo before a match.Dragon Ball: Sparking Zerois a game built on the back of the franchise’s extensive history, pulling from several corners of its history and condensing it into one game. Since there are a lot of things that the game pulls from, there are a number of small Easter Eggs and referencesSparking Zerolikes to throw around like confetti to celebrate the franchise’s 40-year-long history.
TheseDragon Ball: Sparking ZeroEaster Eggs range from classic characters being referencedin idle dialogue to smaller aspects like certain fighters having special attack grab animations depending on who it’s used on, or even references to the live-actionDragonball Evolutionmovie. The most impressive aspect that fans have praised in the game is the amount of unique character interactions that will play before a match. While previous games in theBudokai TenkaichiandRaging Blastseries did this as well, unique dialogue will play if a character is put on a team together. One of these unique dialogue trees can happen with Gohan’s family specifically.
This clip was posted by IronicnotSavage on Twitter, where he formed a team consisting of Adult Gohan, Videl, GT Pan, Mr. Satan, and Piccolo, wanting to form a fun “gimmick” team fromthe roster ofSparking Zero. Before the match starts, Gohan quips that the battle is about to begin, only for GT Pan to note that she wanted to go out on a picnic with everyone, but training is also a fun way of spending time. Mr. Satan then says that there’s no reason that they can’t do both, only for Piccolo to ask why he’s being dragged into the fight as well.
Gohan’s Family in Dragon Ball, Explained
Many fans were extremely pleased with this pre-fight dialogue, as it puts the spotlight onGohan’s family lifeand shows that they spend time together. Respectively, Videl is Gohan’s wife, Pan is his daughter, Mr. Satan is Gohan’s father-in-law, and Piccolo is Gohan’s mentor/uncle/big brother figure. While Videl doesn’t get a unique line in this dialogue, many fans found it really sweet that a team of Gohan’s family can trigger a unique interaction like this, especially when theDragon Ball Super: Super Heromovie similarly focused on Piccolo, Gohan, and Pan.
Other teams can trigger similar interactions inSparking Zero. For example, if a player puts Goku, Goku Black, Turles, andGoku’s father Bardockon a team, Goku will be surprised to see so many other versions of himself, while Bardock is confused about Goku Black and Turles' similarities to him and his son. While Turles wants nothing to do with the other Saiyans, Goku Black is amused about how many people share Goku’s face. There are likely many more team dialogues that fans have yet to discover inDragon Ball: Sparking Zero.
