There are many more characters than the list above, and you need to buy them from the shop even after unlocking them. As such, please consider this list a work in progress as we go through the game and try to find other ways to unlock the characters outside the ones mentioned above.
Dragon Ball Sparking! ZERO has many characters, far more than it has any right to have, and more characters are coming in the future through DLC. Most of the characters are unlocked either through episodes, offline tournaments, shop purchases, or bonus battles, so it’s not hard to work on all those places and unlock everything gradually, but we are still struggling to find some of the alternative forms available.
