Attention to detail is what defines the upcomingDragon Ballgame the best. But perfection, as they say, is hard to come by and developers have missed some instances that fans certainly aren’t happy about. Vegeta, during his Great Ape transformation, was missing a tail.

There seems to be a difference between the trailer for the game and the actual gameplay. Developers should give this some thought, as players wouldn’t want to be deceived by a trailer. They certainly want what they see.

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero Echoes It’s Predecessor’s Issues

Battle-damaged scouter Vegeta is missing a tail inDragon Ball: Sparking Zero,and he can still transform.

“Don’t know how to feel about that…”: Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero Feature Revealed to be Far Less Unique than First Thought, and Everyone is Disappointed

It seems the developers are making the same mistake asBudokai Tenkaichi 3. The predecessor to the game featured a transformation of a version of the Saiyan Prince like this.

This sparked a conversation on the social network Reddit, where fans were hoping the developers would notice this and fix the issue:

“Don’t know how to feel about that…”: Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero Feature Revealed to be Far Less Unique than First Thought, and Everyone is Disappointed

A user named playmeforever remembered this was the case withBudokai Tenkaichi 3:

It has been well-known that the community is likely to point things outwhen a game doesn’t do justice to what they witnessed in the trailer.

They must be hoping thatSparking Zerowill be more than what it’s marketing. If not,Bandai Namcoshould rise above it before the game finally hits the shelves.

That Great Ape Comes With Certain Conditions of Transformation

We saw the monstrous Great Ape transformation during episode 13 dubbed ‘The Legend of Goku’ onDragon Ballfor the first time, where Goku, as a child, breaks through the ceiling of Emperor Pilaf’s castle. This instance happens when exposed to the moon.

It requires certain conditions to be met to attain the transformation and a tail is one pivotal aspect of this. A Saiyan with a tail would need to absorb 17 million Zenos of Blutz Waves through their retina, which eventually causes a reaction in the tail, transforming them into the Great Ape.

Saiyans from Earth like Goku and Gohan don’t seem to have the transformation under their control. However, others from the Saiyan race we saw in the anime including Bardock and Vegeta appear to be under perfect control.

IfDragon Ball: Sparking Zerofans are calling the game peakalready, thenSpike Chunsoftshould do justice to those feelings by staying true to the anime. The game will arrive in October 2024 and that gives ample time to work on it.
