The new arc is really fun, you should catch up if you haven't already.

Also revived Frieza done properly is clearly a better choice than BUUUUUUUUUUU

I'm so surprised at how much I enjoy ally Freeza. I was thinking I wanted ally Cell, but it would have honestly been pretty much the exact same thing as what is going on now, so I'm good.

I don't think it would have been.

Cell was never as much fun as Freeza. Cell was super serious most of the time, unless he was Imperfect Cell at which point he was a creepy monster. It's easy to think of the Abridged Cell, but he's way more of an exaggeration than Abridged Freeza was.

I can't honestly think of one fun thing Cell did after he achieved his perfect form, beyond holding the tournament to prove he was superior.


Well okay

"There is no God! Right, Mama?"

I love Goku as much as the next person, but sometimes I wish he'd resign himself as some eternal punch deity that just trains other characters.

And he has his own little planet with a tractor on it.

Flying away comically with the tractor is the first test to pass in his training.

Dragonball Super is set between Buu Saga and the end of Z. Like they literally have a conversation in Super about Uub.

Cell was awesome because he did ALL of the bullshit the heroes did...to the heroes. Running away and hiding power levels, powering up ridiculously in a short time, letting people get away and power up to fight him, etc. He didn't have as much personality as Freeza, but he was still fun.

A lot of how Cell's personality *could be* if revived comes from having him as your trainer in Xenoverse, and he's one of the best trainers because he's so hilarious. He would be a little different than Freeza since he's less of a dick, but he's also more egotistical, somehow, which has the poetential to be hilarious.

Xenoverse Cell was basically Abridged Cell with Damien Clarke dialing up the smug to 11.

freeza seemed drastically underpowered but you can maybe assume king cold didn't get to do all his stages and poo poo? cuz trunks just loving killed him before he had a chance. it'd be funny if goku let him go to some ultra form and they had a long rear end fight as always

I never bought that Freeza was stronger than he was on Namek as CyberFreeza anyways.

Mostly because we know what Freeza at 100% power looked like at that point, and it wasn't super slim.


But Freeza being strong enough to fight Goku as a SSJ for a short time was an anime only thing, so who knows. That may just be a consequence of the anime being more faithful in one instance, while being less faithful in the other.

It might not be what we are used to.

EDIT To clarify The full rumor is that Goku might master SSJ God, gaining SSJ hair but the God style. So red hair and eyes, that funky aura, that kind of thing. At the very least, there is merch showing SSJGod Goku with SSJ hair.

Theory is that SSBlue is stacking SSJ on top of blue instead of actually going SSJ with God ki itself. Who knows.

They know that the Shonen Battle genre will work itself out as long as somebody pulls a new power out of their rear end at the last possible second, and Vegeta also knows this because he's cracked the fourth wall like Deadpool.
