Information about the Scouter and various character traits come via a new blog post from Bandai Namco ahead of Sparking Zero's October release.

Sparking Zero is the next step for the Budokai Tenkaichi series, with many wondering if the new game will live up to previous rosters.

Well, after a long hiatus, the true-blue arena fighters are back with Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, an immense game befitting of its ridiculous moniker, which finally adopts the series’”Sparking” subtitle from Japan.

The Sparking Zero roster looks set to be one of the biggest Dragon Ball games ever, these are all of the characters featured.

Sparking! ZERO is a profound revival of an iconic series. I've gone hands-on for three hours and couldn't be more excited.

If you were hoping for the likes of Moro or Granolah in Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, then think again. According to the game's producer, Jun Furutani, there is a lot of difficulty, as well as various situations at play.

You've been waiting for this moment. Check out the latest Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero trailer for this upcoming game in the Budokai Tenkaichi series.

If the 182-character roster stirred something in your Dragon Ball memories, that's because it appears to be a callback to one of the episodes from the original Dragon Ball series. More specifically, you have to venture back to Dragon Ball Episode 84 which was titled "Rivals and Arrivals" in the English version of the show and helped kick off the Tien Saga.
