How to unlock Frieza’s Sparking episode in Dragon Ball Sparking!

Frieza plays a significant role in the combat mode of Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, a story mode that revives the thrill of exploring alternative paths and non-canonical events from the beloved manga and anime series.

This guide will detail the requirements, conditions, and steps necessary to unlock the Sparking episode that features Frieza. This episode stands out due to its unique storyline within the game.

Unlocking Frieza’s Sparking Episode

The sole Sparking episode available for Frieza is called “The Army of Frieza Joins the Battle.” You can access it during the Bills Arc, Resurrection of Frieza, particularly in Chapter 5.

To begin, you’ll first need to enter the phase known as “Frieza Resurrected.” In this phase, you must fulfill a specific secondary condition: you need to defeat Goku and Vegeta swiftly. If you can take down both characters within a set timeframe, you will unlock the path to the Sparking episode, which continues into the phase called “The Philosophy of Frieza.”

Upon reaching this stage, you can choose from various characters, including Dodoria, Zarbon, Cooler, the Ginyu Force, and King Cold. To complete the episode, you must select each character and successfully finish the battles that follow.

Tips for Success

The most difficult aspect of this episode will likely be defeating Goku and Vegeta quickly in the “Frieza Resurrected” phase. The game does not specify the exact speed required, but players generally have a couple of minutes to accomplish this—making it a tight window.

To effectively defeat both characters quickly, aim to reduce the time they have to attack or block your hits. A strong strategy is to fully charge your Ki bar to enter Sparking mode and immediately unleash Frieza’s ultimate attack. This move inflicts substantial damage and can leave your opponents vulnerable for a significant period, allowing you to recharge your Ki for another powerful strike.

If you find it challenging to defeat them quickly, don’t hesitate to retry your strategy until you master it. Sometimes persistence is essential for perfecting the timing and execution of your attacks.

Continuing the Sparking Episode

Once you unlock the phase titled “The Philosophy of Frieza,” you can adjust the difficulty level to make the remaining battles easier. You can select any character from the available options, complete their respective battles, and then return to this phase to choose a different character. Repeat this process until you have explored all available combat routes.

While there are numerous battles to finish, if you choose an easier difficulty, they shouldn’t be overly challenging. After completing all four routes for each character, you will have successfully concluded Frieza’s Sparking episode.
