Bandai Namco Entertainment dropped a reveal trailer out of the blue on June 17 announcing Saiyan Shallot is coming to Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero on June 26, with Season Pass owners gaining early access to the new fighter 72 hours earlier on June 23. As an original character developed as the protagonist for the 2018 free-to-play mobile game Dragon Ball Legends, Shallot's addition to Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero marks his first appearance in another Dragon Ball property outside of Japan.
Developed by Spike Chunsoft and released in 2024, Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero featured a hefty roster of over 180 playable characters from various Dragon Ball series entries at launch. With the release of multiple DLC packs for Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, the fighting game's roster has blown past the 200 mark. The Japanese publisher has shown few signs of slowing down, with a Daima DLC expansion pack still on the way and surprise reveals like Shallot's ensuring players never find themselves wanting.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero set a new standard for anime fighting games, highlighting the lack of a modern equivalent for Naruto fans.
