Many players are expressing their dissatisfaction regarding the absence of Dragon Ball Super content for Vegeta in the campaign mode of Dragon Ball Sparking Zero.
Despite this critique, Dragon Ball Sparking Zero has made a remarkable debut, selling over 3 million copies on its launch day and quickly rising as one of the most popular fighting games on Steam. Its dynamic gameplay, combined with a faithful rendition of the beloved anime’s aesthetic and tone, has resonated with fans of the franchise.
However, Dragon Ball Sparking Zero is not without its flaws. A particularly annoying glitch that wipes out save files has left some players frustrated, but more concerning for long-time fans is a notable gap in character representation that cannot be overlooked.
Vegeta, the fan-favorite secondary character, has been unfortunately underrepresented in the Episode Battles mode. As some players discover, the Saiyan Prince’s arc concludes abruptly after the Majin Buu saga and does not extend into his journeys depicted in Dragon Ball Super.

The exclusion of Vegeta’s adventures from Dragon Ball Super—featuring significant battles against characters like Cabba and Jiren—has left many fans disappointed. While Dragon Ball Sparking Zero includes all the essential characters to explore this narrative, players are unable to partake in these exciting conflicts.
This absence has sparked considerable debate among fans regarding a game that claims to provide a complete Dragon Ball experience. One player remarked, “My respect for this game decreased significantly at this point,” while another shared, “They omitted numerous characters from Super, which could have enhanced the story mode.”
Vegeta is not the only character who has missed out; players have voiced concerns about other beloved characters as well. A fan mentioned, “I had a feeling the story mode wouldn’t be up to par when I saw Gohan’s storyline starting midway through the Cell saga.” Following that, another player exclaimed, “Transitioning from Vegeta’s storyline to Gohan’s felt like a double loss!”
For those eager to explore more, Dragon Ball Sparking Zero features a Custom Battles editor that allows players to create their own epic confrontations. While it demands more effort compared to the pre-made content of the Episode Battles, it could potentially satisfy fans looking for more of Vegeta’s presence.
