All Goku Black Branching Paths in Dragon Ball Sparking! ZERO

As one of the newer villains introduced in Dragon Ball Super, you’d think there might not be a lot of branching paths for Goku Black in Dragon Ball Sparking! ZERO. However, his Episode Battle campaign has the most deviations of all characters in the game.

The first step you need to take is to unlock Goku Black. Once you’ve done that, he will be selectable from Dragon Ball Sparking! ZERO‘s Episode Battle menu. Getting all his side stories may be relatively simple compared to all of Goku’s branching paths, but completing his campaign is a far trickier feat if you don’t know how. Here, we’ll go over how to get Goku Black’s side path, the conditions for all the branching paths, and even how to get his canon ending.

Dragon Ball Sparking Zero Goku Black side paths

Technically speaking, Goku Black has only one side path, but they have some deviations just like the deviation found in Jiren’s branching path. This side path is:

• Proof of Justice

Just like many of the other characters in the Episodic Battle mode, your combat ability is key to getting all of Goku Black’s endings and side stories, and you’re up against several buffed-up opponents per stage.

Your major deviation from the conventional path comes during the level Act Three Begins in the Future Trunks Arc. Beating all the enemies in the required time limit will send you down south.

The rest of the side story is relatively straightforward, though you can only get its “canon” ending if you finish the mission Their Choice without resorting to fusing with Zamasu. Should you finish this side story in its conventional way, you’ll get 100,000 Zeni and the “Goku Black’s Saga: Proof of Justice” photo collection.

How to finish Goku Black’s Dragon Ball Sparking Zero

The majority of Goku Black’s missions all have branching paths that have him win the day. However, as fans of Dragon Ball Super know, he doesn’t get to enact his Zero Mortal Plan. Most of his levels just need to have him not beat the heroes within a given time.

However, Sins, Gods, and Punishment—the climax of the entire Future Trunks Arc—works a little differently. To get the canon ending, you need to get Vegito to within a sliver of his health, but don’t KO him. After some time, Trunks will replace him. At this point, your objective is to provoke Trunks into using his Final Hope Slash super move. Let this hit you and it’ll finish the campaign. Any other move that KOs you will give you the game over screen, and KOing either Trunks or Vegito will trigger the deviation ending.
