Summary
- A new leak lists more playable characters featured in the upcoming fighting game Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero.
- While it's unclear if this leak is genuine, many in the community are warning fans to watch out for spoilers.
- Some of the leaked characters include Garlic Jr., Dr. Wheelo, and Bojack.
The rest of the roster for Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero has seemingly been leaked online ahead of launch, implying that characters like Garlic Jr., Dr. Wheelo, and Bojack will be playable. One of the biggest draws of the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi series is the ability for fans to play as their favorite heroes and villains from across the massive Dragon Ball franchise in blistering arena brawls, and it looks like Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero will keep this tradition. The long-awaited sequel will officially have 164 characters at launch, mainly drawn from the original Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super anime.
Earlier this week, it was confirmed that Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero will have fighters from the non-canon Dragon Ball GT series as well, much to the surprise and delight of players who were worried that the divisive sequel series would be overlooked. Among the 15 confirmed characters in the latest Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero trailer was Goku’s de-aged form from GT, his granddaughter Pan, his legendary Super Saiyan 4 form, and even the mind-controlled Baby Vegeta.
Now even more possible Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero characters have been leaked online, as reported by news outlets like Insider Gaming and shared by social media accounts like r/GamingLeaksAndRumours. This leak features footage of what looks like Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero’s full character select screen, giving players a look at unconfirmed combatants like the final form of Dragon Ball Z filler villain Garlic Jr., the evil pirate Bojack from Dragon Ball Z: Bojack Unbound, Frieza’s equally wicked brother Meta Cooler from Dragon Ball Z: The Return of Cooler, and Dr. Wheelo’s mech suit from Dragon Ball Z: The World's Strongest, among others.

While this leaked Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero video might be fake, insiders like Twitter user DbsHype have supported its authenticity and are warning players to keep an eye out for spoilers. There are officially 10 characters that haven’t been confirmed for the base Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero yet, but the recently leaked video shows more than that. This means that some of these characters could be DLC fighters to be confirmed and released at a later date.
Assuming this latest Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero leak is real, this means that the upcoming fighting game will have an even bigger roster than many had previously believed. Interestingly enough, most of the characters in this leak come from the non-canon Dragon Ball Z movies, confirming previous theories that Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero will feature such content when it launches on October 11.
