The question of whether Android 21 will be in Dragon Ball Sparking: METEOR (often shortened to Sparking Zero or Sparking METEOR) is a complex one, and the answer depends on what you mean by "in." There's no definitive yes or no without clarifying a few points. Let's break down the possibilities and address some frequently asked questions.
Will Android 21 be a playable character in Dragon Ball Sparking: METEOR?
No, Android 21 is not a playable character in Dragon Ball Sparking: METEOR. This game's roster is set, and Android 21, introduced in Dragon Ball FighterZ, wasn't included in the original development. While future updates or DLC could theoretically add characters, there have been no announcements indicating Android 21's inclusion.
Is Android 21 mentioned or referenced in Dragon Ball Sparking: METEOR?
This is less clear-cut. The game's story mode and dialogue might reference events or characters from the broader Dragon Ball universe. However, there's no confirmation of specific mentions of Android 21 in Dragon Ball Sparking: METEOR. It's unlikely she'd be explicitly named given her late introduction into the franchise's canon.
Could Android 21 appear in future Dragon Ball Sparking games?
While Dragon Ball Sparking: METEOR doesn't feature Android 21, the possibility exists for her inclusion in future installments. Bandai Namco, the developer, frequently updates their fighting games with new characters based on popularity and fan demand. Should a Dragon Ball Sparking sequel or expansion be developed, Android 21’s inclusion would depend on various factors, including the game's planned storyline and overall roster choices. Her popularity certainly makes her a strong candidate for consideration.
What other Androids are in Dragon Ball Sparking: METEOR?
Dragon Ball Sparking: METEOR does feature several other Androids, including:
- Android 16: A powerful and beloved character.
- Android 17: A significant antagonist and later ally.
- Android 18: A prominent character with a wide range of techniques.
- Android 19 & 20 (Dr. Gero): Often working together, they provide an interesting dynamic.
Why wasn't Android 21 included in Dragon Ball Sparking: METEOR?
The reasons are likely multifaceted. The game's roster was likely finalized before Android 21's introduction in Dragon Ball FighterZ. Adding a character post-release would involve significant development effort, balancing concerns, and potentially delaying updates for other features.
In conclusion, while Android 21 is a popular character, she's not currently present in Dragon Ball Sparking: METEOR. The future remains open, however, and her inclusion in potential future titles is not beyond the realm of possibility.
