WithDragon Ball Super, new movies, and manga features, there have been many new faces in theDragon Balluniverse that the newest game can incorporate. This fact alone makes it so thatDragon Ball Budokai Tenkaichi 4has the potential to have the greatest roster inDragon Ballgaming yet.
10Ultra Instinct Goku
Of course, Ultra Instinct Goku would be one of the most obvious choices for the newDragon Ballfighting game. If the transformation mechanics work just like they did in previousBudokai Tenkaichititles, fans may be able to play as a present-day Goku with the ability touse the Ultra Instinct technique.
Along with the powerful transformation, Goku would be granted access to a variety of godlike moves, such as Ultra Instinct’s signature Kamehameha wave that slides past opposing ki blasts. It’s interesting to wonder how Ultra Instinct would switch up the fighting mechanics in a game likeBudokai Tenkaichi.
9Jiren
As the main opposing force in the Tournament of Power, Jiren would be a no-brainer for a spot on the roster inDragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 4. Upon his reveal in both the manga and anime, Jiren became an instant hit with theDragon Ballcommunity, as no enemy had appeared as fierce, yet meditative before.
In fact, Jiren was the sole being who pushed Goku passed his Saiyan limits into Ultra Instinct, giving evidence as to how immensely powerful Jiren truly is. Better yet, Jiren could have a short transformation or limited boost that places him at full power, where his body receives a physically apparent buff like he had pulled off in the anime.
8Beast Gohan
Hailed as one of the coolest and awaited transformations of all time within theDragon Balluniverse, is Gohan’s Beast form. InDragon Ball Super: Super Hero, the fate of Earth was placed into Piccolo and Gohan’s hands, forcing the two to chase after a power they hadn’t ever withheld before.
When facing Cell Max, Gohan was forced to tap into his unlimited potential that had been hinted at throughout the entirety ofDragon Ball Z. This led toGohan reaching his Beast form,which gives him long white hair, along with a unique aura and red eyes. Beast Gohan would be one of the best additions toDragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 4, as the half-Saiyan finally has a state to keep up with Goku and Vegeta.
7Teen Goten and Trunks
Though the two had remained small children for a large portion ofDragon Ball, Goten and Trunks finally launched into their teenage years after a time-jump inDragon Ball Super.The two ran around as heroes throughout the Super Hero Saga inDragon Ball Super, dawning costumes under the aliases, “Great Saiyaman X-1” and “Great Saiyaman X-2.”
Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi4can break the pattern of the two characters relying solely on the Gotenks fusion to fight, and now fight as individual characters. Along with these two, an older Gotenks would be a fantastic contribution to the roster as well, or as a fusion in-game.
6Orange Piccolo
Just like Gohan received a new change inDragon Ball Super: Super Hero, Piccolo had also been handed one. From what felt like something that should have happened years ago, Piccolo, a personality who trains harder or as hard as Goku and Vegeta, reached a level that may rival the likes of Super Saiyan Blue: Orange Piccolo.

Orange Piccolo is the result ofShenron awakening Piccolo’s hidden power,along with the dragon combining his own power with Piccolo. This transformation would be a wonderful asset inDragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 4, and will finally give Piccolo a new mechanic to play around with.
5God of Destruction — Lord Beerus
Though it may feel like it has been out longer than it has,Battle of Godscame out in 2014. Seeing as the previousBudokai Tenkaichigame was released 10 years beforehand, one of the first (and most popular)Dragon Ball Supercharacters deserves a spot onDragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi’sroster.
This would be Lord Beerus, a God of Destructionwho almost completely destroyed Earthbefore being intrigued by Goku’s power. With Lord Beerus inBudokai Tenkaichi4, there are more fighters to choose from that stray away from generic Saiyans and humans. Also, Beerus would have a very unique moveset unlike other ‘more-alike’ characters (Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Goten, Trunks).
4Ultra Ego Vegeta
Although the fighter has yet to see the light in theDragon Ballanime, any movies, or any other mediums like video games,Budokai Tenkaichi 4could be the best debut for Vegeta’s new godly transformation. Ultra Ego, which is a physical transformation proving the mastery of Hakai used by the Gods of Destruction, is a form that Vegeta has finally come into contact with.
This new form puts Vegeta by Goku’s side as a true rival once again and illustrates the type of mentality that Vegeta withholds while going into battle. Seeing this form inBudokai Tenkaichi 4would be a feature that many fans would collectively enjoy.
3Gogeta And Vegito (Super)
In his base form, Vegito is already a force to be reckoned with, possessing strength rivaling the most fearsome adversaries in theDragon Balluniverse. His arsenal of techniques includes iconic moves like the Kamehameha and Final Flash, both of which he wields with unprecedented might.
On the other side of the fusion spectrum is Gogeta, a fusion achieved through the Fusion Dance technique. This form was first used to defeat Broly inDragon Ball Super: Broly. Both fighters would make for incredible characters inDragon Ball Budokai Tenkaichi4, as both wield Saiyan Blue and have outstanding moves unique to each fusion.
2Black Frieza
Though Frieza had returned at the beginning ofDragon Ball Superwith the brand-new Golden state he had earned from training, Frieza returned near the end ofDragon Ball Superonce again with yet another form to show off. This form, which had been named “Black Frieza,” was used to take on one ofDragon Ball Super’svicious villains, and also used by Frieza to take down Goku and Vegeta at the same time.
Black Frieza, menacing as he is, would be an undeniably fan-favorite character inBudokai Tenkaichi 4, and one of the strongest villains in the game. The villainous character can also bring in a set of moves that are as devastating as Black Frieza himself, such as the abdominal blows he performed on Goku and Vegeta.
1Broly (DBS)
Broly, the legendary Super Saiyan,has become an iconic figure inDragon Ball, captivating fans with his immense power and tragic backstory. Introduced in the movieDragon Ball Super: Broly, this character has left a lasting impact that makes him a strong contender for inclusion inBudokai Tenkaichi 4.
As the character already had been a fan-favorite thankstoDragon Ball Zmoviesfeaturing Broly, the canonical form of the beastly figure would certainly be one of the most chosen fighters in the game. His inclusion would undoubtedly enhance the game’s diversity of fighting styles and add a new layer of excitement to battles.
Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi’srelease date is TBD.
