Whether it’s through character interactions or their movesets, Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero makes sure to throw in small nods to the planet-shaking franchise wherever it can. Some of these fun references are hard to find, with one of the most obscure being Special Finishers. These are unique match-enders that call back to specific franchise moments or character personalities.
Finding these naturally is pretty unlikely. Across this gigantic roster, pieced together from 40 years of media, only three characters can trigger a Special Finisher. The only mention of these can be found by scrolling through Whis’ Stamp Book, but it can be a pain to go back and forth if you don’t remember them. Aside from the rewards you earn from watching them, one of the rarest achievements is tied to them. This guide will go over each one and explain the quickest way to unlock the associated achievement.
How to Perform a Special Finisher
If one of the three characters—Super Saiyan Goku, Master Roshi, or Super Saiyan 3 Goku—manages to end a match with their Ultimate Blast, a special finisher animation will play. That means you’ll need to charge up your Ki enough to enter the Sparking! State and gain access to your Ultimate Blast technique.
There are no other requirements, such as using them against a particular character or on a certain stage. However, it is still best practice to attempt these only when your opponent is low on health. If the technique doesn’t defeat them, the ultimate plays out just like normal, and the match will continue.
