Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero offers a variety of episodes and sagas that explore the narratives of numerous characters, including unique "non-canon" endings that players can unlock by fulfilling specific criteria. Among these characters is Future Trunks, who has alternative storylines available to him based on the goals you achieve throughout the game. Players who successfully navigate to these alternate endings will earn special achievements and rewards.
Overall, there are three distinct endings for Future Trunks. His two Sparking Episodes in DB: Sparking! Zero diverge from the "canon" storylines established in the Dragon Ball series. While it might be disappointing that Future Trunks has limited narrative options during the Android/Cell Saga, the game still presents engaging alternatives for this iconic character.
Future Trunks’ endings begin to crystallize in Chapter 6 of his Episodes, where players are presented with various choices. New options become accessible by meeting certain objectives, often tied to the Episode Battle fights within the character’s storyline. For instance, one of the endings might only be unlocked by defeating a group of formidable opponents in DB: Sparking! Zero as quickly as possible.
Here are all the different endings available for Future Trunks in DB: Sparking! Zero, including his "canon" conclusion:
| Ending | How to Unlock |
|---|---|
| Canon | Complete all of Future Trunks’ regular Episodes, then choose "Return to my world" during the "Trunks’s Choice" mission in Chapter 6. |
| Shining Hope | In the "Twisted World" mission in Chapter 6, defeat Goku Black and Zamasu as quickly as possible. |
| Inherited Pride | During "Trunks’s Choice," select "Stay here and train" then, in the "To Become Strongest in the Universe…" mission, defeat Vegeta, Piccolo, and Gohan rapidly. Lastly, choose "Go with Vegeta" to help him win the Tournament of Power. |
| Embarking Toward Tomorrow | During "Trunks’s Choice," choose "Stay here and train." Then, defeat Vegeta, Piccolo, and Gohan quickly in the "To Become Strongest in the Universe…" mission. Finally, opt to "Stay with Gohan" to aid him in winning the Tournament of Power. |
Typically, for objectives that require defeating enemies quickly, you’ll have around three minutes to complete the task. It may take several attempts to succeed, so be patient and try different strategies to ensure a quick win.
The choices made at the end of Chapter 6 significantly affect the endings you can achieve. Both "Inherited Pride" and "Embarking Toward Tomorrow" are particularly challenging to obtain, requiring you to defeat three opponents in swift succession. Utilizing a wish in DB: Sparking! Zero can simplify these battles, allowing for faster eliminations of each character to unlock the new story arcs.
By successfully unlocking all Sparking Episodes, you’ll receive various achievements that reward you for each alternate conclusion in Future Trunks’ storyline. This achievement pathway may also boost your Player Level, unlocking new characters as a reward for discovering all of Future Trunks’ endings in Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero.
