How to Take a Final Hope Slash in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero: Sins, Gods and Punishment Guide

Check out how to unlock the canon ending to Goku Black's story!

Goku Black’s Sins, Gods and Punishment can be considered one of the hardest Battle Episode stages in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, as it tasks you with taking a Final Hope Slash (Future Trunks’s Ultimate Blast) following a battle against Vegito Blue.

But as defeating Vegito forcibly ends the stage and unlocks a branching path, how can you make Trunks join the fray and perform his trump card? Here’s how to take a Final Hope Slash and unlock the true ending of Goku Black’s story in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero.

How to take a Final Hope Slash in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero

You can take a Final Hope Slash during Sins, Gods and Punishment in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero by surviving the fight against Vegito until Zamasu says “A perfect and pure multiverse made clean by Zamasu’s hand!”. That will prompt Trunks to take the stage and perform the move after entering Sparking Mode.

For an exact time frame, I had to keep up with Vegito for two minutes until the line was delivered. Keep in mind that it is also possible for Trunks to either join the fray a little early or several seconds after the set time. The same can be said for the timing of his Final Hope Slash, so make sure to stay sharp.

How to Survive against Vegito in Sins, Gods and Punishment

If you are having trouble keeping Vegito in a stalemate given his constant use of High-Speed Evasions, counters, and Ultimate Blast combos, you can do so by staying away from him while circling the area with consecutive Dragon Dashes. You can perform a Dragon Dash in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero by holding R2/RT and X/A while tilting your right analog stick in any direction.

When doing the above, make sure not to double-tap X/A, as doing so will force you to perform a Z-Burst Dash and fly toward Vegito’s back.
