History Awesome / DragonballXenoverse2

* The free update of the second Super Legendary Pack gifts the Saiyan Time Patrollers their very own Super Saiyan God form. Despite needing to wish for it from Shenron and establish maximum friendship with Gohan, Videl, Gotenks, Pan, Goku and Vegeta before Beerus will give it to them, it's very much worth the grind. To start off, along with the considerably high passive boost to basic attacks, the player also gains the ability to unleash unfathomably strong combos so long as the input is correctly timed, similar to Super Saiyan God Vegeta's moves. Second, the transformation is incredibly easy to access, requiring only three bars of ki. Third, and perhaps best of all, '''it doesn't drain ki while it's active''', so the user can stay transformed ''as long as they like'' without needing to keep the form stable, unlike Super Saiyan Blue and its Evolution.

* Version 1.21 comes with it's own transformation, which a races share. The pinnacle of martial arts.... Ultra Instinct. While it doesn't doesn't increase your stats, it comes with a powerful auto dodge, a unique counter AND a build in charge. With a bit of practice and skill, you can become almost untouchable.

* Now with Version 1.35, it's possible to unleash the Beast form from Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. It requires max friendship with Piccolo and Gohan & Videl, followed by a quick fight with Cell Max, but once all of that is done, your reward is a new form that not only is on par with Blue Evolution in terms of best looking activation animation, but is basically a upgraded Potential Unleashed form with more attack power and with its own combo string you can do to send a enemy flying (Keep in mind that the activation animation takes a while and leaves you wide open for a stamina break, and you take more damage in Beast form). And just like with Potential Unleashed, the Beast form can be used on '''ANY''' race.

Despite needing to wish for it from Shenron and establish maximum friendship with Gohan, Videl, Gotenks, Pan, Goku and Vegeta before Beerus will give it to them, it’s very much worth the grind. To start off, along with the considerably high passive boost to basic attacks, the player also gains the ability to unleash unfathomably strong combos so long as the input is correctly timed, similar to Super Saiyan God Vegeta’s moves.

* Alongside the [=DLC=] 11 update you can encounter Majuub near the World Tournament Reception. If you give him a gift from the TP Medal shop you get to fight Uub in a sparring match with Goku spectating before joining in partway through. If you complete this you can challenge Uub again for a serious matchup and [[BrutalBonusLevel even the Conton City Tournament in its entirety is a cakewalk in comparison]], to summarise; You fight both Uub and Goku at the same time, but unlike most missions where extra opponents will leave you alone for the most part until you deal with your current opponent, both Goku and Uub practically bumrush you in sync, not allowing you any breathing room, the only way to avoid damage is to use moves that grant SuperArmor, invincibility or can damage them while charging, such as Lightning Impact and Darkness Rush or counter moves such as God Breaker and Shadow Crusher, and like the aforementioned tournament, you can't use capsules or have teammates, though the satisfaction if you do come out on top is mitigated by the fact that the reward is Goku's gi from the end of Dragon Ball Z.

** On a side note, one of the possible matchups in the DLC is Super Saiyan Blue Goku VS Super Saiyan 4 Goku, and it's as Meta-lampshading as it sounds.

* Meta-example: After the release of this game Creator/MasakoNozawa was honored with two world records. One being the "voice actor who voiced the same character in a video game for the longest period" and the other being "the longest video game voice acting career." at which point she had voiced Goku in ''Dragon Ball'' video games for 23 years and 218 days.

** Go in Fu, and you have to fight Dabura and Demigra by yourself. [[BrutalBonusBoss It's tough, it's borderline unfair, and it's going to drain your health like nobody's business if you aren't prepared.]] But you ''will'' feel like a hero for defeating both of them.

** As a Saiyan, you're put in a fight with [[spoiler: both Goku and Vegeta at Super Saiyan 2]]. It's easily a CurbStompBattle, up there with the Frieza and Cooler fight in Story Mode in terms of difficulty. [[SeeminglyHopelessBossFight This is deliberate]]. Just when you feel like snapping your controller and walking away as your opponents run roughshod all over you, [[spoiler: your abilities are locked out except for one: [[RageBreakingPoint Super]] [[HeroicSecondWind Saiyan]]]]. Suddenly, it's still a CurbStompBattle, just going the other way. [[spoiler: Especially if you have five full Ki bars and go straight into Super Saiyan 3]].
*** Then [[spoiler: Goku and Vegeta get back up, Goku goes Super Saiyan 3]], and the fight is on in earnest.
*** Your [[spoiler: abilities stay locked out]] to [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration showcase the initial overwhelming anger of the Super Saiyan form]], but you won't need them to win.

* The chips are down, and the final battle against [[spoiler: a Super Saiyan 4-esque Mira who absorbed both Towa and the powerful Tokitoki egg]] has you backed up by Goku [[spoiler: in Super Saiyan Blue.]] What follows is easily something both more difficult and more satisfying than even Demigra's final form in the previous game.
** And for the coup de grace, [[spoiler: Goku uses the Dragon Fist to steal the egg out of Mira's body while you finish him off with a ([[HeroicMime voice]] [[SubvertedTrope acted!]]) [[SignatureMove Kamehameha]] once and for all.]] Unless you get the alternate ending, in which [[spoiler: the fighting souls of close allies wordlessly encourage you and give you their power, [[CallBack like in the first game,]] before you personally deliver the Dragon Fist and pluck the egg yourself. The Kamehameha finisher isn't even needed - ''you kill him in a single strike.'']]
* The first of the post-story fights. [[spoiler: An angered and mentally-freed Bardock fights Mira one-on-one out of raw vengeance, and ascends to Super Saiyan 3 on pure willpower and the power he gained as the Masked Saiyan. It's enough that Mira has a VillainousBSOD when he's defeated by someone that should be far, far weaker than him. Although this also caused Mira to break his power limiter when he finally realized his fighting spirit in inspiration from Bardock, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero causing the entire final boss fight of the game in the first place.]]]]

** By that same token the player characters, no matter their race, can stand toe to toe with villains that would give the heroes a run for their money. They can even fight Golden Frieza on equal footing (Who was strong enough to almost casually overwhelm Goku as a Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan until his stamina dropped) and possibly even ''[[KnightofCerebus SUPER SAIYAN]] [[InvincibleVillain ROSÉ]] [[NoNonsenseNemesis GOKU]] [[WorldsStrongestMan BLACK!!]]'' [[spoiler:And that's just before fighting Mira after he absorbs Tokitoki's egg, which has ''the power of an entire universe's history'' contained within it, and not to mention that not even the likes of '''[[FusionDance Merged]] [[PhysicalGod Zamasu]]''' will be enough to stop the player character!]]
* A major one if you mentor under Beerus. In the final lesson you fight him and have to defeat him using his ultimate but a bit of dialogue from him changes the context of this fight to something phenomenal. Beerus is going ALL OUT. That's right, Super Saiyan God only got him to use 70% of his power [[spoiler: and Goku going SSJGSSJ+Kaioken got him to be a bit worried]] but you are making Beerus, the God of Destruction, use all of his power and, while you don't win (he stops the fight before he loses all of his health), you put up a fight something no mortal has ever managed to do. No matter what race you are playing this is nothing short of awe-inspiring. After the fight, he says you could genuinely become a true WorthyOpponent for him someday. ''Beerus never said anything of the sort to Goku or Vegeta.'' It is likely that he underestimates them, but he certainly does not underestimate you.

* From the DLC, due to Goku not showing up, Piccolo faces off with Botamo in round one. He ''wins''. He then prevents Frost from ringing the player character out with his [[spoiler:poison needle]] in the resulting tag match.

* Speaking of DLC, the fourth pack is out now, and not only does it allow us to fight Goku Black, Zamasu, and Fused Zamasu in story mode, [[spoiler: we also get to fight alongside the previous Future Warrior (due to Time Patrol Trunks being away on another mission)]].
** [[spoiler: Also, Goku Black opening that drift in time allows Turles, Broly, Lord Slug, Janemba, and Meta Cooler to slip in there, which forces you to test your might against the powered-up movie villains.]]
** In the finale of the DLC, [[spoiler:Future Trunks once again uses the "Spirit Bomb Sword" on Zamasu...but this time, Goku Black's time rift (which stayed open, whereas in ''Super'' it dissipated after a while) allows people from other timelines to donate their energy. We get scenes of Gohan and Piccolo from the main timeline, Goku, Pan and Trunks from ''Anime/DragonBallGT'', young Future Trunks and Future Gohan from ''History of Trunks'', and even Time Patrol Trunks himself, all donating energy to help Trunks slay the mad god.]]
** [[spoiler:When Merged Zamasu encompasses all of timespace, he even threatens to tear the very Time Nest apart. Chronoa smirks and declares that him disappearing (courtesy of Zen-Oh) is still a part of history. And as she does, the button that summons Zen-Oh is pressed, leading to his erasure from existence, but not before telling him, in shorter terms, "[[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu we have Time Patrollers, so suck it!]]" Say what you will about the Supreme Kai of Time, [[GenkiGirl but she's not willing to back down, no matter what]], even against someone like [[PhysicalGod Zamasu]].]]
** Even Elder Kai gets in a moment when [[spoiler:he threatens to go down to lecture Zamasu himself. Sure, it becomes all bluster when Merged Zamasu infiltrates the Time Nest, but give the old geezer points for tenacity.]]
** Speaking of [[spoiler:Merged Zamasu, his Half-Corrupted form gets one for being a [[SurpriseDifficulty surprisingly difficult boss]] compared to his normal state. You'd think that losing your form and half of your immortality would make you weaker, but he'll make you eat your words if you're careless around him. And even when Vegito shows up, Zamasu [[AdaptationalBadass nearly wipes the floor with him from a gameplay perspective]].]]

* DLC 6 [[spoiler: gives '''Ginyu''' of all people [[SpannerInTheWorks a true time to shine]] if you bring him along to the Future Trunks Arc. As all hell breaks loose between him, you, Tapion, Trunks, Goku Black, Future Jiren and Future Zamasu, he uses the chaos to use his body-snatching trick on ''[[HijackingCthulhu Goku Black]]'', making a fool out of both of them as Black in Ginyu's body [[VillainousBreakdown stares incredulously, still processing what just happened while Future Zamasu completely breaks down]], [[DespairEventHorizon pretty much hitting rock bottom.]] Although Ginyu's fooling around stops him from using Black's power and thus has to sit out the fight, in doing so he manages to turn the tide and turn what they thought was going to be an uphill battle into our heroes' favour and irretrievably doom the Zero Mortals Plan to failure and both of the masterminds behind it to [[KarmicDeath death]] and [[AndIMustScream eternal]] [[FateWorseThanDeath imprisonment.]] To make it even better, Black and Future Zamasu even start infighting as the heroes lay into them with renewed strength and determination, blaming each other for what's happened. In one body change, Ginyu completely dismantles their Zero Mortals Plan and not only crippling them physically, but utterly destroying them mentally too. Ginyu even throws Black's incident of snatching Goku's body back into his face while doing so. [[LaserGuidedKarma Seems that those two's hens are finally home to roost,]] [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome and oh man is it a beautiful sight to bear witness to.]]]]
* The fight between the Time Patroller (backed up by their mentor / partner), and [[spoiler: Dabura (backed up by a character that's based on who your mentor is). If you end up having to face Dabura who has summoned Demigra, though, the fight takes a much more surprising turn than most of the other ones since Demigra comes out of nowhere and is incredibly powerful. Even more impressive is that Dabura is only the Demon King, while Demigra is the Demon God. Yet Dabura is by far the more powerful opponent here, with a health bar almost as ridiculous as that of ''Fused Zamasu''. It's impressive how much strength he gained while plotting revenge for his younger sister Towa.]]
** Go in Fu, and [[spoiler:you have to fight Dabura and Demigra by yourself. [[BrutalBonusBoss It's tough, it's borderline unfair, and it's going to drain your health like nobody's business if you aren't prepared.]] But you ''will'' feel like a hero for defeating both of them.]]

** Dabura deserves some special props, here. [[spoiler:After surviving his encounter with Buu due to Towa messing with his Time Scroll, in addition to his aforementioned power boost, he casually reveals that he knows about the Time Patrol and that he'll make the Supreme Kai of Time suffer for Towa's demise. He then enters Conton City and turns ''every Time Patroller but you'' to stone, including the ''Xenoverse 1'' protagonist and Trunks, with minimal effort. He then reveals that he has Chronoa at his mercy, and can kill her any time he desires, before challenging the PC and their mentor to chase him. Then he plays smart and summons an ally, sometimes a very personal opponent to your mentor, before starting the fight proper. The Demon King ''really'' upped his game this time around, and he came extremely close to achieving his goal as well. He ultimately failed because of Fu's own moment below, as well as the PC's own determination; outside of that, he had everything in the bag. Oh, and this fight happens no matter if you go with the Time Patrol route, ''or'' Fu's route, meaning that this scenario is inevitable.]]
* [[spoiler: Fu turns out not to be interested in Uncle Dabura's goal to avenge Towa, and [[HoistByHisOwnPetard deflects his spit attack at him]], leaving him a floating rock with a stunned expression on his face.]]
* DLC 6 gives us probably the greatest matchup ever: [[spoiler:The Time Patroller vs. Son Goku! Goku's anxiousness to fight Fu leads to your character stepping in to protect him -- mostly because the Elder Kai wants to get rid of him as he sees him as a threat. Noticing how powerful you are, Fu decides to give you a nice power boost, which prompts Goku to kick it up a notch and go Super Saiyan Blue! If you're able to bring down Goku's HP to a certain amount, Goku will decide to take off the kid gloves and go even further -- he attacks as ''Mastered Ultra Instinct.'' That's right - just for that moment, you could go toe to toe with the master of Self Movement as a human, Namekian, Majin Buu, Frieza Clan or Saiyan.]]
** Also three things to take into context here: What we have seen of [[spoiler: Ultra Instinct Goku]] has shown that he can dodge any and all attacks thrown at him with ease, but the Time Patroller, despite not possessing such powers themselves and are augmented by Potential Unleashed/Super Saiyan Blue/ Golden Frieza at best [[spoiler: are not only holding their own in the intense brawl but ''[[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu winning]]'', despite Goku’s body working double-time to try and counteract their attacks [[BeyondTheImpossible but simply not working fast enough to stop them.]] Secondly, take into account that Ultra Instinct Goku [[CurbStompBattle will demolish the Time Patroller if he’s allowed any leeway.]] Yet despite being weaker than him, you’re taking the fight to Goku and battling the strongest mortal in creation to an ''' utter standstill.''']] It brings to mind the fight between Goku and Kefla, to an even greater degree if [[spoiler: you take him down with a Kamehameha.]] Thirdly, as [[spoiler: Elder Kai has a ThisCannotBe moment as you start to overpower Goku, Goku himself expresses his disbelief with a StunnedSilence. You’re not only punching him out, you’re ''intimidating'' him. And we are talking about a Goku who is potentially beyond even Jiren - the mortal stronger than the Gods of Destruction. '''You are finally superior to the Gods of Destruction, and the two mortals who surpassed even that.''']]

* The free [=DLC=] 11 update added a whole assortment of new features; The ability to customise characters that aren't available as partners in the Infinite History story, [=CC=] Mascots to serve as companions and even beautiful artwork to serve as transitional loading screens but one notable addition is the Conton City Tournament, a HarderThanHard series of missions available after completing the main story which can grant the aformentioned artwork, unique Super Souls and a special assortment of unique Super and Ultimate attacks, while having you fight an assortment of characters solo and without capsules. An even greater reward comes when you beat the tournament a second time which gives a character that has been in the Time Patrol since the beginning, The Supreme Kai of Time herself.
