All Vegeta What If Branching Paths in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero

Fans of Akira Toriyama’s most famous manga may feel like beginning the Dragon Ball Sparking Zero campaign with their favorite antihero, Vegeta. The Prince of all Saiyans first stormed into Dragon Ball Z as a worthy adversary during the first Saiyan arc as a planet-conquering megalomaniac. However, he gained more humility and begrudging respect for Goku during the iconic Frieza Saga, where his campaign starts.

Much like Goku’s branching paths in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, there are some key deviations from the main plot that, depending on the circumstances at hand, may result in new endings or wild divergences from the main plot. While he doesn’t have as many as Goku, here are all the side paths, branching storylines for Vegeta in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, and the steps to start them.

Dragon Ball Sparking Zero Vegeta side paths

In Vegeta’s story mode, you can embark on two major side paths during the Dragon Ball Sparking Zero campaign, each with unlockable rewards for finishing them. These are:

• Parental Bond
• Number One Spot

Parental Bond

You’ll come across the mission Wind-up Doll during the Cell Arc of Vegeta’s Dragon Ball Sparking Zero campaign. In it, you need to beat Android 18 within the allotted time to diverge from the main timeline. This step is relatively simple, but the next is extremely difficult.

In the mission Vegeta and Trunks, you’ll be locked in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with Trunks to train. At the start of the fight, you’ll hear Trunks think about using his most powerful form. Make sure you do lots of damage quickly. Should this be too difficult, we have many Dragon Ball Sparking Zero tips and tricks to help you with these sorts of battles.

If he proclaims that transforming isn’t worth the hassle, you’ll return to the original timeline. If he transforms into Super Trunks, you only need to beat him to continue onward. Completing this branching path only unlocks 100,000 Zeni and the “Vegeta’s Saga: Parental Bond” Photo Collection.

Number One Spot

At the beginning of the Majin Buu Arc, Vegeta will turn into Majin Vegeta thanks to the influence of Babidi. However, your method to get this side story begins far earlier—during the Cell arc. If you haven’t already, defeat Android 18 within the time given to unlock the start of the Parental Bond side story. However, this time, you want Trunks to say that he doesn’t want to transform. This will bring you back to the main storyline.

From this point, you must keep to the canon plotline so you don’t interrupt the sequence of events. The screen will return to the map at the end of the Cell arc, but you can hop into the next mission and continue until you reach the cutscene where Babidi tries to take over Vegeta’s mind. If you get the option to resist the mind control, you’ve done it correctly.

Do note that even if you’ve unlocked the Parental Bond side story, you must continue from the cutscene after the Trunks fight rather than start from the Babidi mind control cutscene, as you won’t get the dialogue option. The good news is that, once you’ve got the option to resist being brainwashed, the rest of the side story is straightforward. You’ll unlock Goku (GT) as a playable character as well as 100,000 Zeni and the “Vegeta’s Saga: Number One Spot” Photo Collection for your trouble.

Dragon Ball Sparking Zero Vegeta branching paths

To conclude this guide, there are a few battles in which Vegeta can have different ending points, either giving the antihero some humility or emboldening his confidence to further heights by finally surpassing his greatest rivals. Here are all the conditions you need to meet to access Vegeta’s branching paths in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero.
