Gohan’s storyline in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero includes a singular and distinctly unique Sparking timeline. Here’s a guide on how to access and successfully navigate through these pathways.
Within Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, Episode mode allows players to relive the most memorable scenes from the anime, featuring alternative paths that creatively reinterpret crucial plot points.
While Episode mode stands out among several features in Sparking Zero, it’s the aspect that fervent Dragon Ball enthusiasts will undoubtedly want to explore first.
Gohan’s campaign presents a sole Sparking pathway, which, despite its singularity, is one of the game’s most captivating and extensive routes.
Gohan’s Pathways in Sparking Zero Episode Mode
Unlike the earlier segments of Gohan’s saga in the anime, Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero centers on Adult Gohan’s character arc. Fans of teenage Gohan and the Cell Saga won’t be disappointed, as they can still experience the legendary Father/Son Kamehameha moment.
The sole Sparking pathway available in Gohan’s journey is titled:
- The Strongest Warrior
This pathway can be unlocked during the God of Destruction Beerus and Frieza’s Resurrection Arc.
The Strongest Warrior Pathway & Episode Breakdown
To embark on Gohan’s Sparking journey, you must first challenge Frieza in the Episode titled Defend Earth from the Frieza Force!
Initially, you’ll need to defeat one of Frieza’s minions. Once Frieza, resurrected by the Dragon Balls, arrives, you must significantly deplete his health swiftly. If you fail, you’ll revert to the main storyline; however, if you succeed, you will activate Gohan’s unique Sparking pathway.
The Strongest Warrior represents a significant deviation from the original anime narrative, introducing an all-new antagonist named Gohan Black. Below is a walkthrough of this pathway.

Frieza’s Determination
Having lost to Gohan, Frieza evolves into his new Golden Frieza form. This episode marks a shift away from the original canon, as Gohan, choosing a scholarly life, lacks the strength required to defeat Frieza in this form.
Your task is to conquer Golden Frieza. Successfully doing so will trigger a cutscene introducing the formidable Gohan Black.
As an immortal, Gohan and his allies struggle to defeat him, prompting Trunks to buy them some time to escape and strategize against Gohan Black.

With Piccolo’s mentorship, Gohan learns to defeat an immortal adversary using the Evil Containment Wave technique.
Gohan Black and Gohan
Equipped with the skills to conquer an immortal being, Gohan returns to confront Gohan Black. In this episode, the objective is to whittle down Gohan Black’s health to progress.
A cutscene will reveal Gohan Black’s true identity as Zamasu from another timeline. The two then merge to augment their power, leading to another fierce confrontation with Gohan.

The Future Entrusted
Now facing Zamasu, who has fused with the non-immortal Gohan Black, Gohan’s task is to deplete Zamasu’s health.
However, when Gohan and Goku attempt to finish Zamasu with a combined Kamehameha, they fail to succeed. This event marks the conclusion of the Episode and leads to the climactic segment of Gohan’s Sparking pathway.

The Strongest Warrior
As Zamasu teeters on the edge of defeat, Trunks returns. Together with Gohan, they leverage the Evil Containment Wave taught by Piccolo to overcome and finally capture the villain.
With Zamasu eliminated, Gohan, Goku, and Vegeta travel back to their timeline, where Gohan remains committed to training and enhancing his power.
