Vegeta’s journey within Dragon Ball Sparking Zero unfolds across two unique timelines. This guide outlines how to explore both paths and examine the effect of the new timeline on the overarching narrative.
The narrative of Dragon Ball Sparking Zero is delivered through an innovative Episode mode that invites players to delve into the adventures of Vegeta, Goku, Piccolo, Gohan, and others across various chapters of their favorite anime.
While many Episodes adhere closely to their anime counterparts, the Episode mode in Sparking Zero introduces branching timelines, enabling players to envision alternate scenarios where critical events and choices differ, along with the resulting ramifications.
Each character features multiple divergent paths, termed Sparking Episodes in the game, allowing for different gameplay experiences, some of which are more challenging than others. Below is a comprehensive overview of the various branching paths available in Vegeta’s Episode mode, the methods to unlock them, and the stories they unfold.
Diverging Paths in Vegeta’s Sparking Zero Episode Mode
In Episode mode, Vegeta’s narrative diverges into two primary pathways, each providing exciting rewards upon completion.
These diverging paths stem from crucial Episodes within Vegeta’s storyline. The two distinct routes available are:
- Parental Bond
- Number One Spot
Explaining the Parental Bond Pathway
Vegeta’s connections with Bulma and Trunks play a crucial role in his progression towards righteousness. In the Episode titled Wind-up Doll, which is part of the Cell Arc, players will engage in a battle against Android 18.
To initiate the diverging paths linked to this Episode, players must defeat Android 18 within the set time limit.
The Parental Bond timeline reinterprets the events of the Cell Saga. If all necessary conditions are met, Vegeta and Trunks can triumph over Cell together. Here’s how to achieve this dramatic ending.
Confrontation with Trunks
The battle begins against Trunks, who is training with his father. At the outset, Trunks contemplates transforming into Super Trunks, his ultimate form.
To provoke this transformation, you need to inflict substantial damage immediately. Activate Sparking Mode, execute close-range strikes, and finish with a strong move. Once you defeat Super Trunks, the storyline continues.

Confronting the Power of Perfection
In a matchup against Cell, who is not yet at his final form, reduce his health to conclude the fight.
Impressed by Vegeta’s prowess, Cell invites him to join the Cell Games, marking the finale of this timeline.

The Climactic Parental Bond
In an epic showdown, Vegeta and Cell trade attacks with Cell’s Kamehameha clashing against Vegeta’s Final Flash.
As Cell gains the upper hand, Trunks returns, and together they execute a father-son Final Flash that ultimately brings Cell down.
Following the victory, Goku and the others commend Vegeta for his accomplishment, and the bond between father and son deepens, boosting their powers significantly.

Explaining the Number One Spot Pathway
The second pathway for Vegeta is set during the Majin Buu Saga. In the Episode Vegeta’s Wicked Heart, Babidi seeks to exploit Vegeta’s aspirations for supremacy. In the original timeline, Vegeta succumbs and transforms into Majin Vegeta.
However, on this new path, Vegeta resists Babidi’s manipulation, triggering an alternate storyline where he defeats Babidi and his minions and ultimately challenges Goku in the World Tournament.
