As well as their own custom character, Dragon Ball: The Breakers allows players to use special survivor skins that are based on some of the weaker characters from the long-running manga and anime series. Each one boasts its own unique active skills for use in matches, providing players with plenty of reasons to check them out rather than sticking with the default survivor character.
The first two skins in Dragon Ball: The Breakers were based on Bulma and Oolong, with the Farmer skin added as part of the Season 1 battle pass upon the game's full release. With multiple seasons planned for the asymmetrical multiplayer game and hundreds from which to choose from, many players are now wondering which other Dragon Ball characters will be coming to The Breakers as skins in the future.
Hercule
Perhaps the most obvious candidate for a skin in Dragon Ball: The Breakers, Hercule (or Mr. Satan, depending on which dub one prefers) is one of the best comic relief characters in anime. Despite winning the World Martial Arts tournament on multiple occasions and being incredibly strong for a human, his weakness when compared with the series' heavy hitters really does make him the perfect choice.
Some of the previous Dragon Ball games have chosen to massively raise Hercule's power levels to shoehorn him in, but The Breakers wouldn't need to go to such lengths. Unlocking a recognizable character like Hercule would undoubtedly be a lot more appealing to players than a random farmer, so it seems all but certain that he'll be showing up in the game at some point, probably sooner rather than later.
Monaka
Monaka may be a relatively new character, but that's not to say that he wouldn't still make for a great skin in Dragon Ball: The Breakers. First introduced in Dragon Ball Super, the skinny pink alien stood alongside warriors from Universe 7 in a mini pre-Tournament of Power competition against members of Universe 6, with Beerus making out as though he was the strongest member of the team.
However, despite Monaka going on to win the tournament, this couldn't have been further from the truth, as Monaka is both a coward and a weakling. Like Hercule, though, his lack of powers makes him a prime candidate for Dragon Ball: The Breakers and would allow the developers to include one of the franchise's more recent characters rather than leaning too heavily on Dragon Ball Z.
Mai
In truth, any one of the Pilaf Gang would make a great survivor in Dragon Ball: The Breakers, but Mai just about gets the edge over her two companions on account of her being a more well-rounded character, not to mention a more fleshed-out one. Having another female Dragon Ball character probably wouldn't be a bad thing either, especially with so many of the series' main heroes being of the male variety.
Being one of a troublesome trio, Mai could offer some useful and unique active skills were she to be added to Dragon Ball: The Breakers as a skin. A little like Frieza with Zarbon and Dodoria, being able to summon Shu and Pilaf to serve as distractions could be incredibly useful when placed in a tight spot, as too could her proficiency with firearms.
Yajirobe
Yajirobe may not be the strongest character in Dragon Ball, but he might just be one of the bravest. He's demonstrated this on numerous occasions, most notably, perhaps, when he put his life on the line to slice off Vegeta's tail during the closing stages of the Saiyan saga. With Great Ape Vegeta set to be added as a raider in a future update, it's quite possible that the masterless samurai could soon follow as well.
Given Yajirobe's connection to Senzu Beans and the fact that the rejuvenating vegetables are already in the game, an active skill in which he's able to pull out a bag of Senzu Beans every few minutes would make a lot of sense. The fact that he also carries around a samurai sword paves the way for an offensive ability too, a little like the farmer's shotgun skill.
Launch
When it comes to Dragon Ball characters who would make great survivor skins for Dragon Ball: The Breakers, Launch seems like the obvious choice. Her split personality disorder sees her transform from a mild-mannered and harmless young woman to a hot-headed and trigger-happy thug in the blink of an eye, which is something that the developers really could put to good use.
Although there are certainly more popular Dragon Ball characters to choose from, the fact that the Season 1 farmer skin is based on an obscure character who's only appeared on screen in a handful of the anime's episodes shows that the developers aren't afraid to think outside the box. This bodes well for Launch, as well as fans of old-school Dragon Ball who'd love to see her added to the game.
Dragon Ball: The Breakers is available on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.
