All Jiren What If Branching Paths in Dragon Ball Sparking! ZERO

As one of the most powerful fighters Goku faces in all of Dragon Ball Super, Jiren’s branching paths in Dragon Ball Sparking! ZERO highlight how little character development he gets in the original timeline.

Though we don’t get a lot else outside of some extremely difficult endurance fights during his unlockable Episode Battle campaign, Jiren does have a couple of branching paths that have specific requirements to see. He’s also one of the few Dragon Ball Sparking! ZERO characters that can unlock a wish from the Dragon Balls via Super Shenron for completing a side story. Below are all the steps you need to take to get all Jiren’s branching paths, unlock his campaign, and get his wish.

How to unlock Jiren Episode Battle campaign in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero

In order to get Jiren as a playable character, you first need to complete Goku’s Episode Battle mode. You can still do Goku’s branching paths, but Jiren only becomes playable after the mission “Goku’s Strength.”

Dragon Ball Sparking Zero Jiren side path

Out of all the branching paths, starting Jiren’s is remarkably simple as it’s just a simple dialogue choice. The side path is:

• True Strength

However, you may find the endurance battles ahead rather difficult, especially when Goku begins using his Ultra Instinct forms to dodge a load of your attacks. As such, we recommend checking out our Dragon Ball Sparking Zero tips and tricks for new moves to surprise your foes.

Dragon Ball Sparking Zero True Strength walkthrough

First, we recommend that you complete Jiren’s campaign without unlocking the True Strength side path. This means choosing to intervene in the dialogue choice during Saiyan Rampage and finishing off Kale when she transforms into the Legendary Super Saiyan form. Make sure to beat all your enemies in time and you’ll unlock the first of the side paths after the mission Ultimate Climactic Battle.

Once you’ve done that, go back to the cutscene Saiyan Rampage and instead choose to wait and see. In a way, this path is fairly similar to Piccolo’s branching path where you need to finish certain missions before rejoining the main timeline and changing the outcome of otherwise set-in-stone fights.

You’ll now encounter several endurance fights in a row, but more crucially for the story, force Jiren to fight Master Roshi. He will impart some wisdom that changes Jiren so that when he defeats all the heroes in a fairly quick time in Ultimate Climactic Battle, he’ll wish for all the erased universes to return. This unlocks a single use of the Super Dragon Balls, 100,000 Zeni, and the “Jiren’s Saga: True Strength” photo collection.

Dragon Ball Sparking Zero Jiren branching path

As one of the newer characters in Dragon Ball, Jiren only appears during one arc. While characters such as Vegeta have many branching paths, Jiren’s entirely depends on whether you’ve played the side story first or not. We’ve mentioned above how to unlock it earlier, as it’s tied to the final mission with three different variables, but here is a summary of Jiren’s branching path:
