On Friday, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot's next DLC — Bardock: Alone Against Fate — drops for the open-world action RPG, and Bandai Namco has dropped a new trailer to celebrate its launch.
The flashy trailer — which focuses on Bardock's fight against Frieza — is full of the usual action and drama you'd expect from the DBZ universe. However, that's not what's got people talking. As exciting as the DLC looks, Bandai Namco has dropped a little tease for the future of Kakarot at the end.
Bardock may be kicking off 2023 for Kakarot, but it looks like we might be going further back in Dragon Ball's (and Goku's) history for the next chapter. Just as you think the trailer is about to end, BAM, Bandai Namco hit us with a character silhouette and a big, bold "coming soon" slapped right across the left-hand side.
Eagle-eyed fans have been quick to point out that the teaser looks just like a teenage Goku from the original Dragon Ball series — specifically, the one from the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament Arc (also known as the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai Arc). We've had tons of retellings of the Dragon Ball Z series, so it'll be exciting to see some of the OG series make an appearance in the game.
No date or details have been shared yet, and Bandai Namco hasn't even confirmed anything yet, but that hasn't stopped eager fans from getting excited.
Bardock: Alone Against Fate is out on 13th January. Are you still playing Kakarot on your Switch? How do you feel about the DLC potentially returning to the original Dragon Ball series? Let us know!

I say this as someone who grew up with DBZ, but the original Dragon Ball is better than pretty much everything that came after it. I would love it if more games were made from that era.
OMG YES! Please let this be a real thing and not just a misunderstood tease. Original DB should get a game like that anyways, many great scenarios and fights. Dragon Ball Origins on Wii is still the best representation and theres also been a really nice Advance game.
Edit: Just bought the game because of the possibility of this being a thing.
Bardock is coming oke. I have never played long time a Dragonball game. I am not a fan from this kind of games. If Dragonball fans are happy I am happy.
@TotalHenshin I’m a fan of DBZ and DB Super….but original Dragon Ball is my favorite manga ever. It’s so good!
@TotalHenshin
I can see why someone would hold that opinion, but DBZ has so much action and excitement. Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 3, fusions, Mystic Gohan, Majin Vegeta, Frieza, Cell, Android Saga, that whole era of movies. There's a lot of awesome stuff in DBZ. DB has charm and fun, but DBZ is so much more
YOOOOO! This is EXACTLY what I was hoping for! While we may not be getting the entirety of classic DB, at least we're getting SOMETHING, and after the complete lack of anything classic DB in either FighterZ or this (base game), I was starting to get worried that Bamco was just refusing to even acknowledge classic DB. Now I just want to know what the third DLC will be. The easiest option would probably be Goku Black, but I'd love to see them tackle Janemba or Baby or something. I genuinely want a third season pass now, since we might get to see the King Piccolo or even the original Red Ribbon arc there, and I'd love to see either one of those show up in the game.
Red Ribbon Army Saga might be awesome
This game only gets better and better.
Hope to see the Bojack's Galactic Tournament too someday
Probably not a popular opinion but i really want the third part to be the Garlic Jr Arc, i personally loved that, would be even better to mix it up and have Tien and Chaotzu fighting the zombified human characters whilst the main story took place at Kami's Lookout, but it'll never happen lol
Nice to see DB get the spotlight. That rarely happens in the games. I don’t think even Xenoverse did much [if at all] with DB and those games even supported GT.
While Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super were hype to no end, the original Dragon Ball will always be the best in terms of battles, character developments, and story arcs. There is not a single cringe moment throughout that series whereas in Z you had entire episodes consists of the main characters just screaming and staring at each other for 80% of the episode and in Super where Goku and Vegeta got like a new hairdo every few episodes.
I already wanted to get this game eventually, but the addition of anything from the original anime/the earlier parts of the manga could push me to actually buy it (as soon as it's on sale again)!
