I hope Frieza has some scheme up his sleeve since he hasn't really gotten any good fights. Even Gohan and Piccolo did get the cool namekian fight but Frieza has mostly been slapping jobbers around

I'm starting to get the feeling that maybe the Tournament ends with Jiren winning but accidentally killing Goku in the process for going too far, getting disqualified, and Frieza being the last standing man that gets the wish.

Or the opposite, Goku wins, accidentally gets Jiren killed and disqualified, Frieza still gets the wish.

Like there is absolutely no way that Frieza doesn't end up somehow winning in this arc.
He wins by getting wished back to life! Alive! With unfuckable power! On Earth! He'll probably immediately destroy the planet!

This is something actually set up as opposed to some cockamamie 'out of nowhere Frieza just becomes a mega-god.' That'd just drag this poo poo out pointlessly.

Yeah but he tried that what? Two arcs ago? gently caress that, I want Samurai Goku with Frieza as Aku.

It'd be truly shocking if this ends with anything but a crushing defeat for Frieza somehow, as always

MAYBE he'll become a god of destruction instead, who knows

Hes had a lot of kickass moments, and has the highest kill count for the absolute east effort, outside of maybe jiren but we dont know if what jiren did constituted actual effort.

There's an MVP wish as well as the winners wish.

Frieza playing good boy for the team, channelling energy to Goku etc is probably him fishing for that prize.

Needless to say, I had to experiment with the beefed up Master Roshi (who for some reason is referred to as a Super Saiyan inside this weird thing). The results were...less than impressive when fusing both Roshis together.




Fusing him with the also new SS4 Goku though had one interesting result: giving a name so long it couldn't actually fit in the screen.

"That must weigh heavily on your soul. Let me purge it for you."
It just occurred to me that if the theory on Vegeta getting a offensive counterpart to Ultra Instinct Omen is true, it is more likely he will unlock it in blind rage. And he is conceivably about to do that.

If vegeta knocks even one person out of the ring using that “shoot tons of tiny ki blasts that only generate smoke for your opponent to smugly emerge from” this entire arc will be worth it.

Well, this is consistent with Namek Frieza. He spent gently caress who knows how much terrorizing civilians and chilling in his space ship while his minions searched for the Dragon Balls and got punked by some low level filthy monkeys. Had he searched for the Dragon Balls personally he would have won long before Goku arrived.

And now he has a new Captain Ginyu at his disposal. History repeats itself.

It's not even that flying is against the rules, they literally just can't do it the way they normally do. If they find a way around that then it seems to be fair game.

Yeah but that only failed the first time against 17's barrier, which I think has blocked everything he's ever used it against perfectly.

Its kind of hilarious that literally the only rule besides don't kill people exists in a way so specific to our main characters and yet isnt actually ruling out conventional flight which you'd think would make up something like 99% of the things that can fly in the omniverse.

It also is entirely contradictory to the stated intention of making it possible to ring out any competitor. It sure is lucky all of the
flying opponents were scrubs. Could you imagine if frieza popped some wings


The most important thing here though is that we are all having fun; it's Dragon ball.

So if the next arc goes back to more low key stuff, which universe interactions do you hope they do? Personally I feel that Gohan and Videl could have a lot of fun in Universe 2 and it would be nice for Vegeta to finally go on the fieldtrip to the planet Salad or whatever the name is for the Universe 6 Sayien home world.
