ZEROhas set the anime gaming community abuzz with its latest reveal.Dragon Ballfranchise fans are in for a treat as the game promises to deliver an authentic experience. It is staying true to the power levels and abilities of the characters as depicted in the source material.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZEROGives Whis’ Unparallel Advantage
Recent gameplay footage shared by an X user @DbsHype has revealed that Whis possesses an ultra-uniqueability in theDragon: Ball Sparking! ZERO. In the original series, he is the angelic attendant and martial arts master to the God of DestructionBeerus. He has been granted Ultra Instinct dodges without any Ki drainage, which has set him apart from all other characters in the game.
The mechanics are a nod to the character’s immense power and skill, as depicted in theDragon Ball Superseries. In that, he is always in a mode of Ultra Instinct, a technique that allows for automatic reaction and movement without conscious thought. In designing such a game, the developers have faithfully created his abilities.

Unfair broken mechanics for the strongest characters in the franchise? Oh yea we are so backhttps://t.co/gDkLzgMKw4
please make it so if whis actually fights he just dies because angels arent supposed to fight

Unfair but canon. He’s an angel, he’s always in ultra instinct. Love these little touches that take advantage of the lore.
I get it, but I’m really concerned that ranked leaderboards are just gonna be filled with UI GOKU and Whis. Like that’s so boring. I hope that there will be some variety and not people saying “IM SO GOOD” meanwhile they play the EXTREMELY broken characters like 80% will do.

Personally sometimes a game don’t need balancing, it’s more fun when shit is unfair and over the top and see how the one with the short end of the stick is able to prevail
The decision to include this powerful ability has raised concern within the community. There are worries that ranked leaderboards might become dominated by players using Whis or other top-tier characters, reducing character diversity in high-level matches.

Some are expressing their celebration over the design choice as a victory for lore accuracy. They argue that not all characters were created equal in theDragon Balluniverse and this disparity in power should be reflected in the game. It allows players to truly feel the vast differences instrength between characterslike Whis and less powerful fighters.
Gameplay vs. Canon?
The Sparking! ZERO gameappears to be giving more importance to canonical accuracy over fighting game balance, a bold move for gaming design. The approach is not without precedent in theDragon Ballgaming franchise. Previous titles have often included characters with different power levels.
It seems the extent to which Whis’s abilities have been implemented in Sparking! ZERO seems to push this concept further than ever before. Also, the supporters of this design choice argue that overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds could become a thrilling aspect of high-level play, much like the underdog stories often seen in theDragon Ballseries itself.

Its fans are now curious about how the game will handle characters from different power tiers. Willthe developers put new mechanicsin place to allow weaker characters to stand a chance against the likes of Whis? Some even suggest employing team-based gameplay or setting up special conditions that could level the playing field.
Pre-purchase ofDragon Ball: Sparking! ZEROis currently available on Steam and will be released on 18 June 2025.
