In a move that caught fans off guard, Bandai Namco has announced a brand-new DLC fighter for Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero—the original character Shallot from Dragon Ball Legends. Revealed via a short trailer on June 17, Shallot will officially join the ever-expanding roster on June 26. Players who own the Season Pass will gain early access to the character starting June 23.

A Familiar Face Joins the Roster

This marks the first time Shallot appears in a mainline Dragon Ball game outside the mobile space. Originally introduced in the 2018 mobile title Dragon Ball Legends, Shallot has built a dedicated fanbase despite never appearing in the anime or manga. His arrival in Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero adds a fresh twist to the roster and suggests that Bandai Namco is open to spotlighting lesser-known or original characters.

Shallot isn’t the first unexpected addition to the game. Not long ago, Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero introduced Vegeta (Mini), a chibi version of the classic Dragon Ball character as seen in the upcoming Dragon Ball Daima anime.

In the latest character trailer, Shallot is shown facing off against iconic villains like Frieza and Broly, showcasing flashy attacks while keeping some of his special moves and transformations under wraps. This has sparked a wave of theories and excitement among fans about his full capabilities.

With over 200 characters and counting, Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is shaping up to be one of the most content-rich entries in the franchise.
