Team Z is warming up while we regularly discover the new features to come in this future opus of Dragon Ball which returns to one of the video game formulas that worked best: clashes in 3D rather than 2D seen from the side, giving pride of place to impressive attacks and aerial combatas the first gameplay videos showed.
At the same time, Sparking Zero announces a colossal roster. This should make fans of the good old Tenkaichi of the era nostalgic! What's more, the playable characters will be drawn from each canon era of the manga and anime. We can therefore count on key figures ranging from Goku's youth to the latest, Dragon Ball Super. But, immediately, he is a cult character of DBZ that catches our attention.

The character has previously appeared in previous Dragon Ball games. But, here, a version never before seen on console will be there! Sparking Zero will integrate this Gohan without his left arm for the very first time. In fact, in the future from which Trunks comes, Goku's son loses his limb while confronting the cyborgs.
It is not common to see fighters with disabilities in video game productions, a fortiori regarding a limb that is not replaced by a prosthesis. What's more, the character is also available with his arm, this implies adapting it according to the skin. Therefore, we can expect unique animations for Mirai Gohan, especially for her special attacks. A beautiful spectacle in perspective!
