The Dragonball Story is no Code Geass. It is fairly easy to follow and does not require a huge amount of knowledge beforehand. That being said with how the Story Mode works and all the alternate endings and arcs, it could get confusing for a newcomer.

This is not the game to get a good story experience sadly. Even if you know the story it is still pretty disappointing. DBZ Kakarot is probably the best for that (at least the beginning arcs) as it actually uses re-created scenes and panels from the manga. 100% worth it if you can knab it w/ all DLC on sale

Dragonball doesn't have a story. The original is an adventure and everything after is battle, so it doesn't matter where or what Dragonball content you jump into.

Honestly the What If made it more fun for me than get the Linear Dragon Ball Story for the Xth time in recent games.

Ur trippin man, OG DB and DBZ and even Super have phenomenal story / character moments. Not gonna spoil anything but even the fights have a lot of cliff hangers / twists

Yes, really fun game. You might want to watch the series while you play it because it's also really good.

BUT: This game is a Tenkaichi game, it's focused on combat. If you want to experience a game with combat but more centered on the WHOLE dragon ball story, I recommend Dragon Ball Z Kakarot.
That one covers all Z story with cinematic scenes and more insight into characters.
Sparking Zero story is told in Power Point slides most of the time, so for someone who doesn't know references you'd be a bit lost.
