Developing another installment in a highly beloved game series likeDragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichinearly two decades after the last mainline title can be a tricky task. However, if the amazing games back then could include so many features with such limited technology, it begs the question as to why today’s developers are reportedly taking them out of the next one.
To put things into context,Sparking Zerowill possibly not have a split-screen co-op option for fans, so there’s no way for players to sit together with friends and battle it out in the game.
Fortunately, there is a silver lining to this dark nimbus, becauseDragon Ball: Sparking Zerowill reportedly include another feature that fans love and expect from a modern game adaptation of the anime.
Fusions From Dragon Ball Z Will Potentially Be Returning in Sparking Zero
Anyone familiar with the lore ofDragon Ballprobably knows what a Fusion is, and for those who don’t, it’s basically a process in which two or more characters combine with one another to create a stronger singular being. InDragonBall Z, major character duos like Goku and Vegeta or Trunks and Goten fuse together to give life to Vegito/Gogeta or Gotenks, respectively.
What made theBudokai Tenkaichitrilogy so amazing was that this feature was included in it all those years ago, complete with the different forms, like Super Vegito.

After the split-screen co-op being missing fromSZscenario, fans wereskepticalabout whether or not Fusions would be returning in the upcoming title. But according to a recent Frenchreportabout the supposed features in the title, “the game will include fusions.”
The translation mentions the potential comeback of Gogeta, Vegito, and Gotenks, but it’s not clear whether or not their forms from the latest animeSuperwill be a part of it.
Fans Have Discussed the Possibility of Fusions in Sparking Zero “Many Times”
DragonBallfans have a subreddit for the fourth installment in theBudokai Tenkaichiseries, where a user posted screenshots of Goku and Vegeta holding up Potara Earrings to perform a Fusion to combine into creating Vegito. This gameplay mechanic was “loved” by the OG community, and it makes sense for them to want its return.
Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero Reportedly Gets a Release Window and the Removal of a Beloved Budokai Tenkaichi Feature
As a response, another fan stated how its potential inclusion inSparking Zerohas “been brought up many times.”
A fan also hopes thatSZdoes not change the implementation of the mechanic too much and stays as faithful to the originalBudokai Tenkaichigames as possible. Since players could select Fusions like Gogeta from the Character Select menu, doing so actually used to nerf the character.
But if one manually performed the Fusion in the middle of an ongoing battle, the created Gogeta was extremely OP.
