Future Trunks is one of the eight characters available in Episode battle mode, but that needs to be unlocked first. Once you’ve completed Chapter 7 in Goku’s saga, you’ll get to play through all the branching paths in Future Trunks. There are three alternate storylines to explore in the form of this Sparking episode.

Future Trunks has the following alternate storylines to enjoy.

  • Shining Hope
  • Embarking Toward Tomorrow
  • Inherited Pride

All Shining Hope episodes in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero

To access Shining Hope, you’ll need to complete the Twisted World Episode, where you go up against Goku Black and Zamasu. You’ll need to defeat your opponents as quickly as possible; as a target for such quests, I always try to complete them within three minutes.

EpisodeHow to complete
Settling Score with ZamasuAfter learning how to trap Zamasu, Future Trunks returns to the future to join Vegeta and his allies. To complete the episode, simply reduce Zamasu’s health.
Save the Future, TrunksIn the final episode, you get to fight and defeat Goku Black. Doing so will complete Shining Hope, and trigger a cinematic that explains how Future Trunks saves the world by defeating Zamasu and Goku Black.

To trigger Embarking Toward Tomorrow, choose “Go with Gohan” in Father or Teamwork (we will come back to this in the next Sparking episode as well).

When you are in Trunk’s Choice episode in the main storyline, choose to stay in the present. This will let you access the Inherited Pride storyline, and instantly pit you against Gohan, Piccolo, and Vegeta. All you need to do is reduce their health by half to proceed.
