New Fighters Enter the Ring: Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO “DAIMA Character Pack 2” is Live

The fight for supremacy in Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO is heating up. Just a month after its blockbuster launch in October 2024, Bandai Namco has announced the release of the second DLC expansion, the “DAIMA Character Pack 2.” The highly anticipated pack, which draws its roster from the latest anime series Dragon Ball DAIMA, adds six new fighters to the game’s already massive roster and is set to launch for all players on September 24, 2025, with early access for Season Pass holders beginning on September 21. This new content is a clear signal of the game’s live-service future and its commitment to integrating the latest developments from the Dragon Ball franchise.

The new DLC introduces a mix of fan favorites and new faces from the DAIMA anime. The pack’s headlining characters are two new variants of Goku and Vegeta, who have been transformed into smaller versions of themselves. The roster includes:

• Goku (Mini) Super Saiyan 4: This miniature version of Goku retains the raw power of his Super Saiyan 4 form, offering a unique and fast-paced fighting style.
• Goku (DAIMA) Super Saiyan 4: A different take on the miniature Goku, this version is a true representation of his form from the DAIMA anime.
• Vegeta (DAIMA) Super Saiyan 3: The Prince of All Saiyans returns with his iconic Super Saiyan 3 form, now in his shrunken state.
• Majin Duu: A bizarre and powerful fusion of the childlike Majin Buu and a Saibaman.
• Third Eye Gomah: A new villain from the DAIMA series who poses a significant challenge.
• Giant Gomah: A terrifying, massive version of Gomah who will tower over other fighters on the battlefield.

In addition to the new characters, the DLC launch is accompanied by a free update for all players. This update includes a brand new stage, the First Demon World, and a variety of gameplay enhancements and balance adjustments. This is a welcome change for players who have been calling for more stages and better balance. The inclusion of a free stage alongside a paid DLC pack is a smart move by Bandai Namco, ensuring that all players, regardless of whether they purchase the DLC, have a reason to log in and experience the new content.

The Future of Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO

The release of the DAIMA Character Pack 2 is a major moment for the game’s Season Pass. The DLC is the third and final announced pack for the first season, following the “Hero of Justice” pack and the first “DAIMA” character pack. While Bandai Namco has not yet announced a second Season Pass, the game’s continued popularity and the release of new content from the Dragon Ball franchise suggest that more DLC is on the way. The game’s massive roster of over 180 characters at launch has already been significantly expanded, and the inclusion of characters from the DAIMA anime and even an original character from the mobile game Dragon Ball Legends proves that Bandai Namco is willing to pull from every corner of the Dragon Ball universe to give fans what they want.

For fans who have been following the game’s development, this new DLC is an exciting step forward. The game, which is the spiritual successor to the beloved Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi series, has been praised for its fast-paced, explosive combat and its faithful recreation of the anime’s most iconic moments. With the release of this new content, the game is poised to remain a dominant force in the fighting game genre and a must-play for fans of the franchise. The countdown to September 24 has begun, and a new wave of fighters is ready to unleash their ultimate power and ignite the spark.
