A recent datamining leak of the popular anime fighter’s third season of DLC has discovered the existence of files that strongly indicate that Kefla will be receiving a cinematic dramatic finish when Ultra Instinct Goku makes his debut in Dragon Ball FighterZ later this year.
The leak comes from video game modder and streamer UltIMa647, who discovered that Kefla’s character data featured “an empty animation folder against Goku Blue,” with Goku Blue acting as a generic placeholder character, suggesting that Kefla will have a unique finish when fighting against a form of Goku:
Not streaming the DBFZ Update datamines so this’ll be my thread about the interesting findings.
Lets’ start off with…
-Kefla has an empty animation folder against Goku Blue. Her ID is KFS. There is no base form model.
-Kale is KEN, and Caulifla is KAN. pic.twitter.com/2Ox5VbfoKM— UltIMa647 ~ Stream Time? (@UltIMa647) February 25, 2020
If Kefla were to receive a dramatic finish against a form of Goku, it will most likely recreate Kefla and Goku’s showdown during the Tournament of Power. During the events of Dragon Ball Super, Goku uses the power of Ultra Instinct to skim across Kefla’s energy blast to deliver an up-close Imperfect Instinct Kamehameha, ending their battle and breaking apart the Potara based fusion between the two Saiyan sisters:

Given that the placeholder folder uses a generic Goku character in place of the as-of yet unreleased and currently-in development Ultra Instinct Goku, the odds of this scene making an appearance in Season Three are increasingly likely.
In addition to the empty animation folder, UltIMa647 also uncovered a bevy of of information concerning the upcoming DLC, including the lack of a folder for a Tournament of Power stage, a notable absence of any Ultra Instict Goku content, and confirmation that Videl and Adult Gohan remain the only characters with true alternate costumes (their Saiyaman outfits):
-There is no ToP Stage Folder.
-KEN/KAS only have Color01’s in their avatars, much like SSJ4 Goku.
-The files for the old CSS is still in the files, just unused. It also doesn’t have any KFS stuff unsurprisingly. pic.twitter.com/jXtE73A3E7— UltIMa647 ~ Stream Time? (@UltIMa647) February 25, 2020
-Can’t find anything on UI Goku in the files, no ID’s or anything yet. Still looking.
-Only Jiren and Videl got their missing holiday recolors (Halloween and Christmas). The other S2 Characters have to wait in line lmao
-Videl and Saiyaman are the only ones with Costume02 still.— UltIMa647 ~ Stream Time? (@UltIMa647) February 25, 2020
-Nappa vs Zamasu’s folder is still there. I really hope this wasn’t a mistake on ArcSys’s part because I wanna see this be a real thing LMAO
-There’s enough placeholder stamps after Summer for another holiday set. No Color18 stuff though. pic.twitter.com/qClZTF0VAB— UltIMa647 ~ Stream Time? (@UltIMa647) February 25, 2020
-The Costume Select icon (THAT’S BEEN IN THE GAME SINCE LAUNCH) is in the S3 CSS as well. THIS IS NOTHING NEW DON’T MISINTERPRET IT.
-Kefla icons plus the “One Character Left” streak. pic.twitter.com/JYb6MQKbSm— UltIMa647 ~ Stream Time? (@UltIMa647) February 25, 2020
(thanks for messing with transparency twitter lmao)
-There’s some Gowasu map related to the lobby that… isn’t in the lobby? It’s not the MyRoom since that still exists but… this is here I guess. Looks pretty normal I suppose. pic.twitter.com/v7JGycU8xd— UltIMa647 ~ Stream Time? (@UltIMa647) February 25, 2020

-Saibaman got a Color 03, someone said it’s for the medium summon so that’s neat
-Asides from the KFS vs. GKB things that suggest a new Dramatic Finish, there’s nothing else new in that department asides from the finished Jiren DF (That you can access in game now). pic.twitter.com/jHugAiUBiU— UltIMa647 ~ Stream Time? (@UltIMa647) February 25, 2020
Well I guess this is that new training mode we found a while ago. pic.twitter.com/C87pS7rsIA
