After completing Goku’s storyline in the Episode Battle mode ofDragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO, players willgain access to Jiren’s saga. Despite being one of the shortest storylines that the Episode Battle mode has to offer, Jiren still has three possible endings, these being Strength is Absolute, True Strength, and Jiren’s canon ending.

Unlocking all three Jiren endings is far from easy, though, as the requirements for doing so can be a little confusing. Some of the fights leading up to Jiren’s final showdown with Goku can be pretty challenging too, althoughDragon Ball: Sparking! ZEROplayers can thankfully complete these on the easy difficulty setting if they prefer.

Before completing any of Jiren’s endings,players should make sure that they don’t have any Super Dragon Ball in their possession. The game does issue a warning if they do and will give them the option to cancel and return to the map screen rather than progress and miss out on their prize. However, at the time of writing, this option appears to be bugged, as although quitting here will prevent players from unlocking any of the endings, they won’t receive anySuper Dragon Ballswhen they do eventually trigger one.

A lot of players have reported having problems unlocking all of Jiren’s endings, although, thankfully, the fix is rather simple. Players can tell which ending they’re in line to unlock by starting Ultimate Climactic Battle and then checkingthe Battle Details menu, which is accessed via the pause screen. If the alternate objective reads “Beat Frieza, Android 17, and Goku”, completing it will unlock the Strength is Absolute Ending ending. If it reads “With Master Roshi defeated, defeat Frieza, Android 17, and Goku”, players will instead unlock True Strength. To switch to the other ending, they’ll just need toreturn to Saiyan Rampage and choose the corresponding option from the table below. Assuming they’ve already beaten all of the encounters leading up to Ultimate Climactic Battle, players will be able to pause and quit immediately after making their choice and then go straight back to Ultimate Climactic Battle rather than having to fight their way back there,
