Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO already features over 180 characters at launch. However, for those who want more, the game’s season pass will further expand the roster, with playable characters from Dragon Ball Daima and Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero set to arrive in the six months or so following the game’s release.

There are 47 unlockable characters in Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO, most of whom can be acquired in a number of different ways.
As of the time of writing, it’s unclear which characters will be added as part of the Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO season pass, although release windows for the game’s first three DLC packs have now been confirmed. Those looking to find out more should keep an eye on this page, as we’ll update it as and when new information comes to light.
Updated January 19, 2025, by Tom Bowen: It’s been a few months now since the release of Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO, and the playerbase has mostly fallen away. With this in mind, Bandai Namco will be hoping that the release of the game’s first DLC pack will be enough to bring players back to the table. The Hero of Justice DLC releases on January 23 (January 20 for Season Pass owners) and will add 11 new playable characters to the mix. These include Gohan Beast, Orange Piccolo, and Cell Max, which should come as good news to fans of the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero movie.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO Season Pass Release Schedule
According to information provided by Bandai Namco on the game’s Steam page, Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO DLC will be broken up into three packs. The first will be based on the 2022 movie Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, while the second and third Season Pass packs will feature characters from Dragon Ball Daima, which was the last new Dragon Ball project that series creator Akira Toriyama worked on before his untimely death. All three packs are scheduled to be released in the first half of 2025, with the first two coming in Q1 and the third arriving at some point during the following quarter.

Which Characters will be Included with the Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO Season Pass?
The Hero of Justice pack contains 11 playable characters (see below), as well as the Red Ribbon Army Disguise costume for Piccolo and three new Custom Battles.
- Gohan (Super Hero)
- Gohan (Super Hero) – Super Saiyan
- Ultimate Gohan (Super Hero)
- Gohan Beast
- Piccolo (Super Hero)
- Piccolo (Super Hero) – Power Awakening

As for the other two packs, the only confirmed DLC characters are Glorio and Vegeta (Mini), both of which will be in the first Daima pack. However, given their importance to the plot of Dragon Ball Daima, season pass owners can expect more mini versions of some of the main characters, as well as antagonistic characters like Degesu, Dr. Arinsu, and Gomah.
How Much Does the Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO Season Pass Cost?
Players can purchase the Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO Season Pass separately for $34.99. Alternatively, they can buy either the Deluxe ($99.99) or Ultimate ($109.99) edition of the game, both of which come bundled with the game’s first season pass. The deluxe edition is arguably the better value deal, as in addition to saving themselves $5 when compared to buying the game and the season pass on their own, players will also gain access to the DLC three days earlier than everybody else.
