Dragon Ball: Sparking Zerorecently came out with an electrifying gameplay showcase, and by the looks of it, there are a ton of cool fights, moves, and features coming to the game. It’s going to be the ultimate step up from the otherBudokai Tenkaichigames without deviating from the series’ energy, and the one feature that fans identified in the showcase reinforces just that.
If you’re aBTfan and hoped to see the What-If sagas make a comeback in the upcomingDBgame, your wishes might have just come true.
Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero Might’ve Brought Back What-Ifs
The new gameplay showcase for theBudokai Tenkaichirevival couldn’t have been received any better. Fans are ecstatic at whatSparking Zerohas to offer,leaving no stone unturned.

Arguably, one of the most exciting features seems to be taken from the previousBudokai Tenkaichigames. It was brought to many people’s attention by a post on theTenkaichi 4subreddit (referring to the upcomingSZtitle).
In the screenshot, we can see legendary Saiyans Broly and Kale going at it with each other. However, these two actually never meet in canonical media.
From Revenge Counter to Vanishing Assaults, Dragon Ball Sparking Zero Producer Announces 4 New Features For the Game
Let’s go back in time a bit to the originalBTgames. They had a cool feature called ‘What-If‘ where players could trigger instances not depicted in the original manga or anime series.
These moments were created during gameplay by specific conditions, such as completing a fight in Dragon History without using certain mechanics.
For instance, in the chapter “Goku Strikes Back,” if the player chooses not to press the R3 trigger during the fight against King Piccolo, after his defeat, Tambourine may suddenly appear to attack Goku. In this scenario, Goku, exhausted from the battle, is unable to fend off Tambourine’s assault. However, Chi-Chi intervenes, saving Goku from potential harm.

Now, back toSZ. While there are many probabilities as to what the Broly x Kale scene from the showcase could be, a lot of players feel that it’s a hint at What-Ifs making a comeback—and they couldn’t be happier.
Players Hope That What-Ifs Make a Comeback
The subreddit’s users were nothing less than ecstatic at the prospect that What-if sagas could make their return to the series.

One user felt that bits of information sprinkled in between the gameplay showcase did hint at what we saw as a What-if saga.
Of course, this isn’t a new request at all.
Since the game’s announcement, many people have been hoping that they could play through a bunch of new What-if scenarios inDB: SZ.
If our guesses come true, then the wait is finally over. What other features do you hopeDB: SZadapts from previousBTgames? Let us know in the comments below!
