So, what are the chances that Freeza is still holding on to some Hakai energy from the assassins, and that's what he intends to recharge Goku with? Especially since it was made a big deal before that Goku couldn't surpass or control it, I could see Freeza being all "You're going to absorb this, or it's going to kill you. Do or die."

If Goku accidentally killed someone with that, would he get erased? Freeza? The GoD that Freeza got it from?

I wonder what the full Ultra Instinct form will look like. hopefully it's not silver hair or else it'll look like some low-rent fanfic. I wonder if it'll be just a lighter shade of SSB with that same crazy aura that Omen has

I will say that Freeza has been acting a little strange since being revived again. In Resurrection F he was totally his old Namek era self, but now he seems sort of subdued I guess? Usually he acts like a spoiled brat, and can hardly go five minutes without losing his temper, but now he seems to be taking everything in stride. Even in this latest episode he appeared to be untroubled by the fact that Goku had surpassed him again. Vegeta, who's been putting up with this sort of thing for years now had more of a reaction than he did.

He's by no means nicer, of course, but this really doesn't seem like the same Freeza who rage quit by trying to blow up a planet on two separate occasions.

At this point, he's done everything possible to stop Goku. Goku told him "dude if you took things in stride and didn't rush for revenge 4 months after freshly learning a new form maybe you'd put up more of a fight." I think Frieza's been taking that advice seriously.

Besides, Frieza was always cool and collected on Namek before being on the receiving end of a bad situation. So far, he hasn't been on that receiving end yet. He'll likely tantrum once his house of cards collapses.

I'd say getting killed three times in a row from making the same mistake is more than enough to teach a guy some patience.

Well that's the thing, Freeza was calm and collected when he knew he was on top, but as soon as his superiority was threatened he threw a childish tantrum. Now Freeza is scheming to take people out who he knows are way more powerful than him. And he's not frantically rushing through a training montage like last time, he's completely calm and more than willing to wait for the perfect moment to turn things around in his favor.

I love villains that get character development.

Yeah the thing with Freeza isn't that he's acting different, it's that he's back to how he used to be, only more of a team player.

Dude is strictly in his Namekian Lord Of the Universe persona and loving every minute of it.

The only time he was ever anything other than bemused by Goku on Namek was when Goku pile drived a Spirit Bomb on his head- which he still walked away from with minor injuries at most. You know, until Goku went SSJ and completely clowned his rear end.

This is why I think Freeza's got something going. Either some hidden power or some plan that is so fool proof that he's got no reason to fret over a GoD level monster running around the tournament floor.

If he thought things were going against him, he'd be far more animated about that.

Ultra Instinct isn't a form it's a modifier like Kaioken

Clearly Zeno would just need to double erase him so thoroughly that not even the super dragonballs can bring him back.

I mean, Frieza isn't an idiot. He knows if he acts up or does anything that's too far off base that Zeno will just wipe him out of existence in a nanosecond, just on a whim. Losing his temper and getting mad isn't constructive to his current situation, and he knows it. He got to take out some anger on Gohan a bit, and is fine to let things be as they will for the moment. Frieza has a history of underestimating the saiyans which triggers that bad temper, but he isn't underestimating Zeno

And so am I. Resurrection F gave me my fill of petulant child "dirty monkey this, dirty monkey that" Frieza. Seeing the Frieza that was so intimidating back on Namek has reminded me why I love the character so much.

I can't believe how well this arc has been justifying Resurrection F's place in the show.

This arc turned Resurrection F from a filler movie/arc into perphaps the most relevant of all of Super's arcs, except maybe BoG which set the new bar for the series.

In RoF Frieza is shown to be able to become stronger than Goku in a much more smaller window of time and this comes back when they recruit him as the 10th member, and Whis foreshadows the concept of Ultra Instinct.

Ironically the arc that was considered the best so far, the Future Trunks arc, turned out to be the most irrelevant during this arc sans the 2nd Zeno. They completely wasted the chance of Gowasu randomly shouting one last "ZAMASU!" when U10 gets deleted.
