During your journey through Vegeta’s episode battle, you’ll encounter the side quest known as ‘Vegeta’s Wicked Heart.’ However, to unlock this quest, you must first successfully complete the ‘Preparing for the World Tournament’ episode. Additionally, aim to minimize any damage you incur during this segment.

In the ‘Preparing for the World Tournament’ episode, you’ll face off against Future Trunks. Maintain a safe distance from him and take your time to replenish your Ki gauge and activate Sparking mode at the start of the fight. Engage Trunks with Ki blasts and your Cosmic Circle while dodging as much damage as possible. If you follow these guidelines, Vegeta will intervene to end the conflict with Trunks, thereby fulfilling the first part of your objective.

When Vegeta interrupts the fight in the ‘Preparing for the World Tournament’ episode, a brief cutscene will unfold, granting you the opportunity to escape Babidi’s control. Choosing this path leads you into Vegeta’s Number One Spot Sparking Episode, set in an alternate timeline where he successfully defeats Dabura and Babidi.
