Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero's Great Ape Is So Hard Even Bandai is Trolling Fans

As a seasoned Dragon Ball fan with over two decades of following this iconic franchise, I must say, I find the current predicament in Sparking! Zero’s story mode utterly amusing and strangely reminiscent of my early days as a gamer. The battle against Raditz’s Great Ape form has proven to be an unexpected challenge, one that has left many of us scratching our heads (and hair) in frustration.


In the game “Dragon Ball Sparking!” (still in its early access phase), enthusiasts of the series are finding one specific boss particularly challenging within the game’s storyline – a battle that seems to be delighting developer Bandai Namco!

Initially, let’s clarify the details: Spark Zero offers a captivating narrative mode that explores various chapters across the series. This mode is filled with numerous episodes, not just focused on Goku, but also allowing players to control characters like Gohan, Vegeta, Piccolo, and even Goku Black.

Goku’s journey kicks off straight away in Dragon Ball Z, as Raditz arrives to attack Earth. If you’re well-versed in the tale, you recall that the Saiyan Prince ultimately transforms into a colossal ape form, known as Oozaru or Great Ape, for a fierce battle with Goku.

In the game Sparking! Zero, this specific boss battle presents a significant increase in challenge level, causing quite a stir among the player community. Players have been swarming various social media platforms to verify that this isn’t just an individual skill problem but a challenge that everyone is grappling with.

Taking a look at the game’s main Reddit forum reveals numerous threads poking fun at the current state of affairs. Be prepared for an influx of such posts, as their number is likely to skyrocket when the game goes live on October 11.

Shoyoumomo, a well-known content creator, produced an outstanding video that humorously demonstrates the sensation of battling a great ape.

The devious part of this entire situation is that Bandai Namco is fully aware of the situation and their response was a simple “Git Gud.”

As a fellow enthusiast diving headfirst into this captivating narrative, it might appear that we can easily glide through story mode, relying on a barrage of attacks for triumph. However, judging by the players’ accounts of the battles leading up to the Great Ape encounter, it seemed as if such tactics would be the key to success – a deceptive first impression indeed.

The Great Ape boss fight might require a bit more finesse and is taking players by surprise, as Sparking! Zero seems more mechanically complex than its PlayStation 2 predecessors.

An alternative scenario might involve the developers inadvertently messing up the balance of challenge levels in the game. The Great Ape encounter could represent an unusual peak in difficulty; after overcoming it, the rest of the story mode may seem like a repetitive button-pressing experience with minimal strategic depth.

If there’s no unexpected change of direction, Bandai’s reaction seems intentional. This might suggest that the Great Ape character is designed for players who have invested time in experimenting with moves, creating combos, and strategizing in the lab.

If you find yourself struggling against the Great Ape, focus on him and ensure he doesn’t undermine your Saiyan dignity.
