The Most Overpowered Characters In Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero

Key Takeaways

• Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero
  maintains balance by making strong characters like SSJ Gogeta and UI Goku overpowered without rendering others irrelevant.
• Characters like Whis, Beerus, and Super Vegito are exceptionally powerful in the game due to strong abilities, movesets, and stats.
• Full Power Jiren and Omega Shenron dominate with high damage output, strong Ultimate Attacks, and abilities that give them instant Sparking! mode.

When discussing power scaling in anime, it’s almost impossible not to mention Dragon Ball, as this show has introduced some of the most insanely powerful characters in all of fiction. While Dragon Ball started with some incredible feats like Master Roshi’s famous moon-destroying Kamehameha, the stakes have since escalated dramatically, with characters now being able to disintegrate planets with a flick of their wrist.

Translating these extreme power levels into video games isn’t an easy task. However, Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero walks a fine line between balancing its characters and also maintaining canonical accuracy, compiling a roster where some characters have a clear edge without rendering others irrelevant. Still, given how many Dragon Ball characters have universe-ending abilities, it’s no surprise that some characters in the game are far stronger than the rest, making them borderline overpowered.

8 Gogeta (GT) – Super Saiyan 4

The Reigning Champion Of The Budokai Tenkaichi Series

Dragon Ball GT may not have reached the same level of popularity as its predecessors, but it introduced characters who shattered previous power limits, with Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta being the absolute peak of the bunch. For decades, he remained the most powerful character in the whole series, with this being reflected in games like Budokai Tenkaichi 3, where he was beyond overpowered.

When Sparking! Zero released, fans expected him to finally be outshined by the God-level characters from Dragon Ball Super. Yet, to everyone’s surprise, SSJ4 Gogeta is easily one of the strongest fighters in the game, having insanely high attack speed, damage output, and an amazing moveset. He has practically no weaknesses, so he can be used to obliterate any other character in the game if the player is skilled enough.

7 Goku (Super) – Ultra Instinct

Goku’s Strongest Form

As expected, Ultra Instinct Goku is an absolutely busted character in Sparking! Zero. While his passive auto-dodging ability is handy, it’s not what makes him so powerful. His main strengths lie in his high damage output, impressive health (higher than most other fighters), and a top-tier moveset.

The true game-changer? His Rush Attack. Although not unblockable, it’s so laughably fast that it’s nearly impossible to Z Counter. This means that, with good timing, it’s practically guaranteed to hit. And given this version of Goku’s massive damage, each successful Rush Attack can shave off nearly two full bars of health from the opponent, making it an absurdly easy way to win fights.

6 Whis

The Most Effortlessly Powerful Character

Given how he’s canonically one of the most powerful beings in the Dragon Ball universe, it should come as no surprise that Whis winds up as one of Sparking! Zero’s most overpowered fighters. For starters, he has a passive auto-dodging ability similar to UI Goku’s, but with one major advantage: Whis’ version doesn’t consume any Ki, allowing him to evade light attacks indefinitely.

He also boasts a powerful healing ability called “Snack Time” which restores a substantial amount of HP. To top it all off, his Super and Ultimate Attacks are some of the hardest-hitting attacks in the game, making him a well-rounded powerhouse.

5 Beerus

Universe 7’s God Of Destruction

While Beerus hasn’t really gotten the chance to exert himself much since his fight with Goku at the start of Dragon Ball Super, he’s still among the mightiest beings in the Dragon Ball multiverse, and Sparking! Zero captures this perfectly. As the God of Destruction, his damage output is absurdly high, with his Ultimate Attack being his biggest strength. Not only does it deal massive damage, it’s also entirely unblockable.

The only way to avoid this attack is through a perfectly timed Z Counter or Vanishing Assault, which is easier said than done. To make matters even worse for his opponents, Beerus also has one of the best healing abilities, “Sleep,” which restores a whopping 30% of his health along with all of his Ki. Altogether, these traits make Beerus a dominant force that only a few characters in the roster can go toe to toe with.

4 Super Vegito

The Perfect Fusion

In Sparking! Zero, Vegito appears in three forms: his base form, Super Vegito, and Vegito Blue. At launch, most players expected Vegito Blue to be the strongest of the three, but surprisingly, that title goes to Super Vegito. Although both forms have nearly identical movesets and are incredibly formidable, Super Vegito has a significant advantage thanks to his Afterimage Strike ability, which Vegito Blue lacks.

Afterimage Strike is easily the most overpowered ability in Sparking! Zero, as it allows characters to auto-evade any attack (except for Ki blasts) for 15 seconds, making them untouchable during this period. Given Super Vegito’s already high attack power and health, this ability cements him as one of the strongest fusion characters on the roster.

3 Broly (Z) – Legendary Super Saiyan

The Most Intimidating Villain In The Series

It’s no secret that Broly (Super) is canonically far stronger than Broly (Z), so it may be surprising for fans to hear that in Sparking! Zero, Broly (Z) is actually the more dominant version of the character. While both share similar movesets and stats, and can instantly enter Sparking! mode, Broly (Z) has a distinct edge thanks to two moves: his Ultimate Attack “Omega Blaster” and his Rush Attack “Gigantic Hammer,” both of which are unblockable.

Furthermore, the speed and area coverage of these attacks make it very difficult to Z-Counter them, and with Broly’s high damage output (especially when his buffs are active), just one well-timed Ultimate Attack can shift the battle in his favor.

2 Jiren – Full Power

A Mortal Who Surpassed His Universe’s Gods

For players seeking an absolute powerhouse to put on their team, Full Power Jiren is a top choice. In terms of raw damage output, few characters in Sparking! Zero can rival Jiren, which makes sense, as he’s a mortal who surpassed his own God of Destruction in strength. His base stats are already impressive, but his “Strength is Absolute!” skill pushes him over the top by increasing his Melee, Ki Blast, and Blast Attack power, as well as his Blast defense and Ki recovery speed—all while instantly activating Sparking! mode.

His Ultimate Attack, “Omegaheat Magnetron,” aside from having the coolest name ever, is also one of the best moves in the game. It covers a massive area and is unblockable, making it nearly impossible to evade if well-timed. In the hands of a skilled player, Full Power Jiren can solo any opponent he faces in Sparking! Zero.

1 Omega Shenron (GT)

Dragon Ball GT’s Final Villain

Before Dragon Ball Super arrived, no villain could compare to Omega Shenron, who crushed SSJ4 Goku and Vegeta like they were nothing. This overwhelming power was reflected in the Budokai Tenkaichi series, where he was often considered the most overpowered villain character.

Luckily, in Sparking! Zero, Omega Shenron continues his legacy as a top-tier villain, equipped with one of the best movesets in the game. His “Wild Sense” ability lets him dodge any attack, while “Power up to the Very Limit!” gives him an absurd amount of buffs and instantly puts him in Sparking! mode. On top of that, his Ultimate Attack remains one of the deadliest and most difficult moves to dodge in the game. With strengths across the board, Omega Shenron excels in pretty much every aspect of the game, making him undeniably stronger than the rest of the roster.
