Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero

In March 2023, a new title was revealed during the Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour event. The "Sparking!" in the Japanese title references the last lyric found in the chorus of the first opening theme to the Dragon Ball Z anime series, "Cha-La Head-Cha-La" . The North American title is a rearranged version of Tenkaichi Budokai , a reoccurring tournament featured in the manga and anime series. Despite the localized title, the series is not a continuation of the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai series. One of these moves is the Ultimate Blast which is usually the most powerful move a character has, though use of any Blast 2 skill or the Ultimate Blast immediately ends Max Power Mode. In the series' story mode , the objective is to complete in battles based on moments from the original manga series, as well as anime-exclusive storylines . The Dragon Balls can be acquired through story mode by destroying the environment in battle; however, the player can only keep the Dragon Ball they find if the battle is won. Each installment features several "what-if" battles and scenarios; for example, the Tenkaichi 1 story mode features modes where the player takes control of a villain and uses the character to defeat the hero, while the Tenkaichi 2 story mode has modes where Raditz and Zarbon essentially team up with the Z Fighters for one reason or another. Several levels of the Tenkaichi 2 story mode also feature cutscenes shown either before or after the fight of the level takes place. Can be transformations, character changes, automatic attack use, or something as simple as a conversation. The player can enter a World Tournament and try to win their way to the top. Other features in the game includes more combo attacks or character specific combos, the Blast Combos, and the Z Burst Dash. The Blast Combo is the normal combos however by inputting another button into the attack will allow the player to use a blast attack for extra damage.
