I mean Freeza is how that character's name is spelled in the majority of Japanese merchandise and "Frieza" is nonsense there's no situation where that name would be spelled like that unless you wanted to try and obfuscate the fact that it's obviously a pun on freezer Meanwhile Buu and Boo are both perfectly valid spellings.

Freeza is definitely worse to look at than Frieza. Looks way more like a 5 year old came up with it.

Anyone who says “Frieza” is a better spelling just has 20+ years of familiarity with it. Freeza is better.

TheHan posted:I really like that Vegeta admits that he can't be like Beerus and return to being a callous rear end in a top hat for power. It was weird that he was willing to do the same thing he scolded Toppo for doing. Now you mention it with Vegeta calling his bluff on being a cold bastard with the city part this does feel like that bit in the anime but with proper time to actually flesh it out.

The author has the last say and all but I really wish Toriyama would just leave Bardock alone. He was done better when he was written by the person behind his special, Minus Bardock sucked and now we're going into Episode of Bardock territory. The fight itself was cool even if it was yet another moment of Vegeta's character development disappearing, but at least it tried to justify it this time. Hopefully we can get past that forever.

I'm going to withold any judgment about this Bardock thing until it comes out, I feel like it could go either way as far as good or bad but since it's DB, just going to keep my expectations low and hopefully be pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the chapter and I hope the arc does something interesting with the Heeters assuming they'll end up as the main villains. Actually just realizing that Broly is canon, technically Granolah should be much much stronger than he's been if he's supposed to even surpass Broly's strength as well.

Broly was super chill when he made the wish, completely relaxed for once. No power up at all.

CharlestheHammer posted:Whether you like Frieza as a name or not Freeza looks awful. Not really? It comes from "freezer". And Frieza looks like it should be pronounced "Fryza". Though I'm partial to just Freezer myself, having grown up with that name, but Freeza makes sense with the kana.

Hoping Bardock's role is as simple as him just starting to have his bigger Frieza doubts because of whatever happened there.

I'm expecting it to be that Bardock saw Granolah and his mom, got radio'd to find out if there were any other survivors, and lied and said no.

Bardock from the OVA is such a better character but I've had to accept that this new, more boring version of bardock is the canon one.

Fair Bear Maiden posted:How is Freeza or Majin Boo more faithful. I mean Majin Boo fits into the Bibidi-Babidi-Boo reference that Punmaster Toriyama was shooting for. I don't like it personally, I think tweaking the spelling to Buu (and Frieza for that matter) makes the names seem more alien/otherworldly, but when the names are intentional jokes or references to stuff, spelling them outright is kinda more faithful TwoPair fucked around with this message at 22:15 on Sep 20, 2021 |

Vegito doesn't make any sense but it's still better than Vegerot. Vegerotta would at least make sense but isn't great either

It’s Bejitto (Vegetto) in Japanese from Bejita (Vegeta) and Kakkarotto (Kakarot). When it’s Vegeta and Kakarot, Vegito makes no sense. Vegerot is a terrible, horrible name, but it is technically more accurate to the English translation, and technically correct is the best kind of correct.
