The American actor who plays Goku promises that in the new ‘Dragon Ball’ game we will have a very long story mode

Akira Toriyama is no longer with us, but that doesn’t mean that ‘Dragon Ball’ is going to disappear as well. With Toyotaro promising to fly solo in the future of ‘Dragon Ball Super’, the premiere of ‘Dragon Ball Daima’ and the video games of the saga, one thing is clear: Goku and company still have a long time before they stop being popular. And the proof is in ‘Dragon Ball: Sparking zero’, the next great hope of the franchise.

Let’s double with enthusiasm

Although it may not be mentioned in the title, ‘Sparking Zero’ is the return, after 15 years, to the ‘Budokai Tenkaichi’ saga, the legendary fighting game that will feature a whopping 164 characters, including both the most classic heroes and villains and some more unexpected ones like Dyspo, Kefla, and a good handful of fighters from ‘Dragon Ball Super’. In short, for the general population, choosing to fight with Son Goku is always the way to go.

And boy, do they know it at Bandai: Sean Schemmel, the “longtime” American voice actor for the character, has stated that he has recorded between 60 and 80 hours of dialogue, which is logical considering that we will be able to choose Goku in different stages of his life: in the Saiyan Saga, in Super Saiyan God, or in all periods of his transformations.

It is also worth mentioning that Schemmel also voices the different fusions between Goku and Vegeta, a couple of supporting characters and even the villainous character Goku Black, from Dragon Ball Super, who have not been announced but will probably appear throughout the game. And here is where two possibilities come in: either the story mode is going to be very long and absolutely epic or they have recorded thousands of customized phrases before and after the fights for each confrontation.

In any case, although there is still no confirmed date, it is a good kamehame to encourage our desire for more ‘Dragon Ball’.
