Goku Black, also known as Zamasu is an unlockable character in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero. However, the method to obtain this powerful Saiyan is a little different from other unlocks in the game.

Dragon Ball Sparking Zero’s roster is home to a whopping 182 fighters, and players can unlock them by playing through the game’s Episode Battle game mode and purchasing them with Zeni. 

While grinding out missions and getting Zeni is all part of the fun, many players will be wondering how to unlock Goku Black. After all, this legendary Saiyan is not obtainable via the usual unlock methods and instead has a special requirement. 

So, if you’re looking to add Goku Black to your roster and wish to use him in multiplayer fights, then our unlock guide has you covered. 

How to unlock Goku Black 

To unlock Goku Black in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, you need to collect the Super Dragon Balls and get a wish from Super Shenron. You can do this by completing all of Goku and Future Trunks Episode Battles (each will reward you with one full set).

Anyone with the Ultimate Edition of Sparking Zero will automatically be able to summon Super Shenron and make one wish when they launch the game, so we’d recommend doing this if you’re particularly keen to add Goku Black to your roster.

To summon Super Shenron, navigate to the ‘Come Fourth…‘ tab of the Main Menu, and press ‘Summon Super Shenron.’

After a short cutscene, you’ll be presented with some wish options. For Goku Black, select ‘I want more characters.’ You’ll get to choose between two characters:

  • Goku Black 
  • Fused Zamasu

Goku Black is obtained by summoning Super Shenron.

Now, it’s important to bear in mind that if you choose to unlock Goku Black, you’ll need to unlock Fused Zamasu by simply playing through Sparking Zero’s story mode. This can take several hours to achieve, but you will be able to get both for free. 

Buying Goku Black

For those who don’t want to grind to get the Super Dragon Balls, you can also buy Goku Black from the in-game shop for 75,000 Zeni.

Keep in mind that you’ll need to have reached Player Level 20 before he becomes available though, and this can take some time.

Who is Goku Black?

Goku Black is an alternative version of Zamasu in Dragon Ball Super. He might resemble everyone’s favorite protagonist but he’s nowhere near as friendly.

After he summoned Super Shenron, he wished to switch bodies with Goku and then sought to destroy all mortals alongside Future Zamasu – another alternative version of himself. He was the primary antagonist of the Future Trunks saga of the Super anime.
