Gohan Black’s Sparking Zero Debut Proves Why It’s the Greatest Dragon Ball Game Ever Made

Beast is someone really missed by the fans playing the latest Bandai Namco game, Sparking Zero. But then they got someone who might prove to be better than that form. We are talking about Gohan Black, a character that took the fans off guard in the game.

For now, at least we can see Gohan’s potential surpassing Goku in the franchise. I mean, Zamasu chose him instead of Goku like he did in the original story; doesn’t this prove this?

Gohan Black Could be That One Gate Holding New And Interesting Stories

Most of the fans would agree that understanding this new villain isn’t that complex. Zamasu chose Gohan’s body instead of Goku’s as he realized the son holds more potential than the series’ beloved protagonist. Future Trunks was really devastated here.

Both the original series and the Bandai Namco game now have something to look forward to. Fans might be looking forward to seeing Gohan Black in the anime, while many are also expecting to see his Beast transformation in the game.

What’s interesting is that both the media adaptations can give them a new story arc. Gohan Beast vs. Gohan Black, who would win? This is one analysis they can do until it actually comes to fruition.

Not a lot is known about this evil future warrior, but take a look at his personality. It is something that sort of resonates with Goku Black. But it is obvious as it is essentially the same character, just with a different body granted by the Super Shenron.

About the moves he brings to the table, Sparking Zero‘s combat system can help draw upon his abilities if the character is to make an appearance in the original anime. Developers may also give him a different transformation than Super Saiyan Rose as we saw in the game. Ultimate Gohan Black would be a great way to begin.

Look at the way this game recreates the moments from the original Dragon Ball stories. From the way characters grab and throw a character to Goku’s little warm-up in the Broly movie, Sparking Zero definitely is something that can breath new life to Dragon Ball.

It stays true to the series’ spirit by staying faithful to the source material. Maybe some new characters have a chance to be featured in the original anime. Frieza Black or Moro might be disappointed if that happens in the days to come.

Don’t Give Us a Sequel But We Won’t Mind a Spin-Off Featuring a New Character

The community is already excited about the character and is trying to make new scenarios in custom battles. It is great that they brought this player into play as many were trying to inject mods in the game for new characters. Apparently, they’ll be banned. Maybe one of those custom battles end up being in future anime adaptation, who knows?

We know that the Super series will continue as it was recently confirmed. But the future of Sparking Zero remains unknown. Actually, the game came to fruition recently so speculating about its future might not be discussed. But then there’s always something to speculate.

Let’s not talk about sequels, but spin-offs are something worth giving a thought to. Fans would love to play a story that follows a character like the game’s iteration of evil Gohan rather than a custom-made Future Warrior.

A lot of new stories may come out of it and be incorporated into other media adaptations. For the past few years, fans haven’t been enthusiastic about the anime. Maybe this would spark an interest. But backlash from some, who love to stick with the original story, may follow.

Characters like this evil iteration of Gohan is one of the reasons Sparking Zero stands out among other Dragon Ball games. If more of those new characters are there in the future, they’ll hopefully become more reasons for that.

The introduction of the character has surely added salt to the game. This in turn has the fans excited over the various possibilities it brings to the table. It’s a great time to be a Dragon Ball fan.
