Characters fromGTinDragon Ball: Sparking Zeroare almost becoming a dream for fans. Though, we must not eliminate the possibility of the characters being included in the base game entirely. All theBudokai Tenkaichigames had them, and this isn’t likely to become an exception.

Recently, Bandai Namco changed the theme of trailers from character reveal to story arcs. Currently, we have the Saiyan, the Namek, and the Android arcs at our disposal. MaybeGTwill be revealed in the final trailer of the Spike Chunsoft game.

Inclusion of GT Characters in Sparking Zero is Almost Inevitable

Despite being an anime-exclusive series,GTbecame one of the underrated gems to have been introduced in theDragon Balluniverse. It is sad that we have yet to see the characters from the series in the upcomingBudokai Tenkaichivideo game.

Thekind of work that went inSparking Zerostill leaves some room for hope that the developers might have done some great job forGTtoo, if the characters are being included.Fans do hope that everyone will be includedin the game.

There was a time when fans wanted to forget this chapter in theDragon Balluniverse. But then it gained some unexpected popularity, typically through video games, more precisely via theBudokai Tenkaichiseries.

All the games in the video game series appreciate characters fromGT. Whether it was one of those Shadow Dragons or the Super Saiyan 4 transformations, the games captured the essence of the series beautifully. The characters weren’t really a priority, but their depiction was indeed satisfactory.

Budokai Tenkaichi 2 Gave the Shadow Dragon Saga a Delicious Twist

GTbrought the story ofDragon Ballto an end, until 2015, of course. The Shadow Dragon saga was then thought by anime fans to be the final bout in the story. It was indeed an interesting arc, as the Dragon Balls, for the first time, went corrupted, with evil dragons emerging from them.

Given the stories recreated in the upcoming Spike Chunsoft game, the Shadow Dragon saga will be something fans will appreciate. Interestingly,Budokai Tenkaichi 2adapted the story but there was a pinch of twist in there.

It has a noticeably different ending than the original anime. Instead of reviving everyone who died in the story, Goku chose to pursue what strikes him the most: a chow.

The Shadow Dragon saga was adapted byDragon Ball Heroestoo during Jaaku Mission 8. InDokkan Battle, the story arc appeared asDragon Ball GT: 7 Shadow Dragons Saga. Now, hopefully, it’s time for the arc to be adapted in the next Bandai Namco game.
