Since its early access release on Monday, players of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/24054159\/dragon-ball-z-budokai-tenkaichi-sparking-zero-roster-goku-vegeta\"><em>Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero<\/em><\/a> have been flocking to social media to share memes and commiserate about how hard the Great Ape Vegeta boss fight is.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The Great Ape is a special form that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/anime\/24054314\/dragon-ball-daima-latest-series-story-trailer\">Saiyans of Universe 7<\/a> can transform into given the right conditions. Basically, it transforms an already OP and seasoned fighter like Vegeta into an all-powerful gorilla Kaiju. It definitely looks impressive in the show, but now the form is so powerful that it\u2019s inspired memes and jokes about how difficult it is to beat in the game. The boss fight started trending on X Tuesday evening with more than 26,000 posts about it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">My colleague who won the fight said that the Great Ape can kill players pretty fast since his beam attacks deal so much damage and he has a grab attack that comes out really quickly, interrupting any attempts to mash out basic attacks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">It\u2019s not impossible to beat the Great Ape, but it makes for a pretty tough challenge for an early-game boss. Now, people are taking moments from other TV series like <em>Bleach<\/em>, <em>Jujutsu Kaisen<\/em>, and even Dragon Ball clips to describe what it\u2019s like to fight the monstrosity. You can view the gags below.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Great ape vegeta when he saw us having fun on sparking zero: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/AwKd5RFMgy\">pic.twitter.com\/AwKd5RFMgy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; \ud835\udd07\ud835\udd0d\u26e7 (@destroydj_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/destroydj_\/status\/1843513518211117375?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 8, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">How it feels to get grabbed by great ape vegeta<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1PhOGwS008\">pic.twitter.com\/1PhOGwS008<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; \ud83d\udd78\ufe0f\ud83c\udf83Chefu\ud83c\udf83\ud83d\udd78\ufe0f (@Master_chefu) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Master_chefu\/status\/1843485495038546283?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 8, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Great ape vegeta fight went down just like this <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SparkingZero?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SparkingZero<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OJ6rOSe1tz\">pic.twitter.com\/OJ6rOSe1tz<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Twin J (@TJoshaa) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TJoshaa\/status\/1843480292344115365?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 8, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">How it feels to get grabbed by great ape vegeta<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1PhOGwS008\">pic.twitter.com\/1PhOGwS008<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; \ud83d\udd78\ufe0f\ud83c\udf83Chefu\ud83c\udf83\ud83d\udd78\ufe0f (@Master_chefu) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Master_chefu\/status\/1843485495038546283?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 8, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Other people have posted to share screenshots and simply shout at the world about how difficult the fight is. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Extralongdokkan\/status\/1843489263461286279\">One X user said<\/a>, \u201cGreat Ape Vegeta had me losing my mind,\u201d and shared a Shrek meme to accompany the plea.
