I mean, up until DBS Roshi getting beaten up has always been the punchline of the joke (and never actually raped anyone, to my knowledge). Here the punchline is just a woman getting raped and becoming a prostitute.

But yeah honestly this kind of puts everything to do with ChiChi and Videl in a new light for me, even with how bad it was before.

I don't think he has any way to, he lacks a penis. I'm not sure how the hell his race reproduces and I know it's sexually because he has parents, but we've either never seen a female or there's no actual difference between genders considering both Heroes and Xenoverse only have (apparently) male Freezas. In fact, Jaco outright points out in the latter that he has no idea how to differentiate between male and female members of Freeza's race.

I don't get the complaints about pacing, this poo poo flies compared to DBZ.

I only really started watching this show with my kid and he completely checked out of the Frieza fight, partly because Krillin died but partly because it just never loving ends.

I still feel like even with Kai DBZ takes forever for things to actually happen during Namek and the Androids. Pretty sure they dedicated an entire ep to Piccolo and Kami watching the earth before deciding to fuse. And don't even get me started on Buu.

Absolutely. If you must watch DBZ then Kai is definitely the superior way.

it's not fast but you don't have a billion filler episodes like goku fixing his spaceship on the way to namek or gohan trying to walk home during his training with piccolo. the show drags a lot of scenes from the manga out but there's almost zero filler in kai

the manga wastes no time and just goes. it's worth reading even if you've seen the show

Just make a note and watch the one true filler of Goku and Piccolo learning how to drive during the Android Saga.

It also still has the problem that the first Frieza fight likes to pretend it actually matter only to reveal he wasn't trying making it feel pointless.

Freeza has a penis in his first three forms. Obviously the final form is only for combat so this weakness is removed:

:spergin:

The final form is his natural form so if anything that's the one that would have a penis.

...Y'know, I'm kinda surprised that searching for "Frieza penis" or "Frieza dildo" doesn't bring up anything relevant. Like c'mon Internet; you got dragon dildos but not Frost Demon ones? What kind of poo poo is this!?

At this point I'm pretty sure Toei is setting up Cabba Caulifla and Kale for their own Boruto series. Or at the very least their own arc in Super. The three of them have been strangely front and center throughout the ToP. If you count the spoilered episodes we're going to have like six full episodes dedicated to these three. Not that that's a bad thing, but they wouldn't be giving them so much focus unless they had plans for them.

I figured they were setting them up because female Saiyans are a recipe for moving infinite merch tbh

That is his true form. Clearly, you are not an expert in Friezas. Please turn in your Frieza Card.

Shifting the topic a bit, it's pretty interesting to look at Frieza's forms. I mean, we know his true form, and we know Golden is a new form he designed that's essentially "gently caress you bitch I'm fabulous(ly powerful)", but his other forms are supposed to suppress his power. We don't know the order he made them in, but we could assume he worked backwards, going to Third, to Second, to First. That's the order of strength for them, so since the goal was to suppress his power it makes sense that his weaker forms are actually considered improvements and likely came later.

In that case, the first form he developed was a massive monster looking fucker with spikes everywhere and an elongated head and other poo poo. Probably the most different from his final form, and sort of like a big "IS A HORROR MONSTER" sign that you don't want to gently caress with him. Like, say, what a teenager would design to look edgy and dangerous.

After that, you get big man form, still with horns but otherwise just a tall dude who looks like he could kick your rear end, and will, also impale you on his horns. Maybe like someone who really wants to feel like an adult, or even wants to be regal like his father. Perhaps a form Frieza designed when he was getting to the end of whatever counts for a Frieza race's puberty, and wanted to show he was an adult?

Finally, you have tinychairman, who is like his previous form but smaller, more compact, and not really threatening looking. Sort of like a child. Is he trying to look less threatening while still being kind of creepy, like someone moving on from displaying power via appearances and more through willing restraint, like "I am so powerful I feel no need to display that power because it is self-evident"?

Are these forms like potentially some sort of display of where he was in his lifespan, mentally, when he designed them?

(no, of course not, they're because toriyama was like "ok what would be cool here" and then his editor was like "no not that")

Grind, you poor fool!
Grind straight for the stars!
Even if the answer is "Because they're cool" That's probably the closest explanation for why Freeza's forms look the way they do. Freeza even admits as much when he tells Goku he made his new final form gold because of Super Saiyan.

I like to think he read a fashion mag that said tiny horned aliens were in and that's how he got to his first form.

Kai is fantastic. Better editing and voice acting (at least for the dubs, haven't watched subs). Sadly you miss out on a few good filler episodes, but that's nothing you can't go back and see in the original DBZ if you care. Mainly the drivers license episode, and the Garlic Jr. saga.

Edit: I just want to say I'm a fan of that saga because Gohan, Piccolo and Krillin actually do poo poo that doesn't require Goku to save them.
