Players are still awaiting the Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero while also throwing speculations as to how Bandai Namco is developing the fourth installment in the Budokai Tenkaichi series. Recent leaks detailed the upcoming trailer which is likely to have a ‘Power vs Speed’ theme. However, everyone’s still waiting for the eternal rivals, Goku and Vegeta, to come face to face again even for a short duration.

For the time being, a couple of trailers are available on the video-sharing platform YouTube. Furthermore, to add something to the debate, new jump scans have surfaced on the internet. This time they might have given away the first moments of the game and also some never-before-seen techniques in Dragon Ball.

This Will Be a Nostalgia-Filled Ride For Dragon Ball Fans

Similar to the past jump scans, someone translated the images from Japanese to English for clarity. This time it’s a user namely The Blue Waifu. One of the images focused entirely on Vegeta highlights a new technique called Cosmis Circle where he appears to have manifested Z/late form as the translation shows.

Moreover, his super saiyan god form was featured too which the fans got to see initially during Dragon Ball Super: Broly. Moreover, it also showcased the classic energy wave dubbed galick gun, one of Vegeta’s signature attacks in the series.

Given that the last game in the Budokai Tenkaichi series came in 2007, players can hope to get a juiced-up version of it. As far as the genre is concerned, it can emerge to be a top contender for fighting games like Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, and Tekken.

Who Knows How Many More Of Them Will Make it to The Game

It is likely that we may see the game released late this year to early 2025. Nevertheless, players are already taking notice of the improvements developers are making. They are specifically focusing on the game’s visual enhancements to make the experience as visually striking as they can. Players have noted that every time an image of the game surfaces, they appear better than ones in the past.

Furthermore, the fans are demanding the appearance of potential versions of characters from the renowned franchise. A Redditor asked, “Do you guys think they’ll add SSJ Blue Evolution in the game as a transformation?.” Initially, the game is likely to include 164 characters from the franchise.

Without a shadow of a doubt, the game is going to be huge. Success or failure, we cannot say at this point. However, chances of odds should be in the favor of the former given the popularity of the franchise and the content that has been leaked on the internet.
