Sparking! ZERO’s Giant DLC Fixes a Lot — But Jiren Got Skipped and Fans Are Fuming

What’s in the Super Limit-Breaking NEO update

The Super Limit-Breaking NEO DLC drops a massive stack of new content into Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO — over 30 fighters, new stages, and a juicy new mode that’ll chew up your free time faster than a Senzu bean. Alongside the DLC came a large update that tidied up character art and made several designs pop harder than before; Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta, for example, got a noticeable facelift.

All told, the package makes the game feel much fresher: more matchups, more variety, and plenty of replay value for casual and hardcore players alike.

Why players are salty about Jiren — and what it means for the metagame

Even with the overhaul, one omission has people talking: Jiren didn’t receive the kind of flashy transformation treatment that many expected. Fans hoped his power-up would be more dramatic to match his reputation, but that extra visual and mechanical oomph never arrived, and the community has been quick to call it out.

This isn’t just about looks. Competitive Jiren players rely on clear power spikes to make big plays and to intimidate opponents. Leaving him behind visually or mechanically can change matchup dynamics and influence who gets picked in ranked and tournament play.

There’s no official word yet from Bandai Namco on a fix, so for now it’s a community complaint rather than a confirmed upcoming change. If the devs do decide to patch Jiren later, it could shake up the meta — otherwise, expect fans to keep hotly debating the snub while they test the rest of the shiny new content.
