Some fans believe that the classic movie version of Broly could be included alongside his revamped canon version in the Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero roster. Shockwaves were sent throughout the DBZ gaming fandom when a new Budokai Tenkaichi sequel was announced during The Game Awards 2023, and since then Bandai Namco has been slowly revealing which iconic heroes and villains will be returning in the upcoming Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero. There has been plenty of new Dragon Ball material released since 2007’s Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3, and Sparking Zero has already confirmed content from the more recent Dragon Ball Super anime.
Few characters have built up quite the notoriety of the Legendary Super Saiyan Broly. This incredibly powerful rival to Goku has been included in countless Dragon Ball video games, whether as the original version introduced to fans in the DBZ films of the 90s or the reimagined take from 2018’s Dragon Ball Super: Broly. The latter has already been confirmed as a playable fighter in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, leaving fans to wonder if the classic Broly will be featured as well.
A possible clue might be found within the character page on the official Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero website, which has been updated in light of this month’s batch of roster confirmations.

While nothing has been confirmed, some fans are taking this as a sign that both incarnations of Broly will be playable in the upcoming Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero. After all, both Brolys were included in Dragon Ball FighterZ as DLC, with the classic Broly being among the first post-launch additions to the game and the modern Broly being released as part of the second DLC pack. Of course, this could just be a simple indicator about which Broly is featured, and the canon version might ultimately be the only one available at launch.
While the Dragon Ball movies are typically outside of the official canon of the anime and manga, games like the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi series have never shied from including elements from them.
