Summary
- The latest trailer for Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero confirmed several versions of Gohan will be playable, including his Buu Saga iteration.
- Sparking Zero continues the tradition of wrongly referring to Buu Saga Gohan as "Adult Gohan", despite him being 16 years old.
- This also likely means that the 10-11 year old Gohan we see in the Cell Saga will once again be called "Teen Gohan".
hasn't fixed a long-running mistake with its inclusion of Buu Saga Gohan, as it still wrongly refers to him as an "adult".
Although a lot of fans have expressed disappointment with Gohan's character arc throughout due to him getting weaker and focusing more on studying than fighting (despite that making perfect sense and being exactly what he wanted all along), he's still undoubtedly one of the most popular characters in DBZ. That made his absence from Sparking Zero's trailers all the more noticeable.
Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero Looks Like A 🎐Mi♒x Of Raging Blast And Budokai Tenkaichi
Sparking Zero's g༒ameplay ♎deep-dive showcased a lot of respect for both Budokai Tenkaichi and, more surprisingly, Raging Blast.
Ever since the fourth Budokai Tenk𝔉aichi game was♏ first revealed, we've all been wondering where exactly Gohan was, as he took a shockingly long time to be confirmed as playable. Sure, we all knew he'd make it in since he's so important, but it was still strange that it took so long to be shown off. That all changed a few days ago when his Kid and "Adult" forms we💛re shown off in a new gameplay trailer.
No, Buu Saga Gohan Isn't An Adult
Following the release of the excellent (I'm still not over how perfect Future Trunks looks), the official Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero website was updated to include all of the characters who were confirmed as part of the roster, including the three different versions of Gohan.
Kid Gohan and Future Gohan are all fine and dandy, but the Buu Saga version of Gohan unsurprisingly carries on a long-running mistake with how Dragon Ball games refer to the character. , Sparking Zero will once again refer to this arc's version of Gohan as an "adult", just like nearly every Dragon Ball Z game over the past few decades.
That might not seem like a mistake since it's been done for so many Dragon Ball games, but it actually is. , meaning that he's still a teenager or at least a "young adult". Yet, despite this, the Buu Saga version of Gohan is always referred to as an "adult" and the nine-year-old iteration of the character from the Cell Saga is always called "Teen Gohan", .
The misconception with Gohan's aging can , which would make him 18 during the Buu Saga and make the claim that he's an "adult" more understandable.
The strange naming conventions behind Gohan in Dragon Ball Z have been common knowledge for quite some time, so some fans hoped that "Adult" Gohan would be no more in Sparking Zero, but it looks like it's still going to be a thing. Of course, it makes sense for the sake of simplicity since Kid Gohan and Teen Gohan are still a thing, but it surely would have been easier to go with "Early", "Mid", and "End" like the games do with Goku and Vegeta.
