Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

This interview with Toriyama's pretty interesting and has some stuff that's fairly pertinent to Xibanya's analyses because he talks about the composition and design of the manga a bit.

I love how he mentions he'll never live down forgetting who Tao Pai Pai was in that interview with Oda.

Justin_Brett posted:

I hope Frost just turns out to not have any transformations and can access all of his power whenever he wants, just to crap on Frieza even more.

I thought they kinda needed transformations to lower down their power for mundane daily day to day stuff other then exploding crap or fighting otherwise just going for a daily jog would probably rip the planet a new one.

It's cool that Cabba has "Tsurime" styled eyes yet he's pretty placid and a nice seeming kid. That kind of eye style is generally for delinquent or misbehaving characters and plays nicely into Toriyama's desires to subvert expectation.

I wonder if he actually designed these characters himself or if they Super team did, because they're all pretty great designs (though I'm not a massive fan of Frost.)

Before Super began, material outright said that Toriyama was working on the Universe 6 stuff, so all of these are likely Toriyama's own designs.

"His defining trait is his nipples" is such a Toriyama thing that I'd be impressed if they had someone who could be that Toriyama but wasn't.

Has that been established? That's what Frieza used it for, but he didn't really know anything about how to properly train that sort of thing so it may just have been the easiest way for him to hold his power back. If Frost has trained, he might not need to transform even if he can.

Extremely powerful people will cause damage by accident unless restraining themselves somehow is a pretty firmly established thing. Super plays it up a lot more with Beerus blowing poo poo up by sneezing or Goku and Beerus almost destroying the universe just by punching too hard or whatever.

You're thinking backwards. Freeza created transformations to keep his power back, yes, but they aren't his final form, it's exactly the opposite. His final form is his real form; the first, second and third are the actual transformations.

Frost looks exactly like first form Freeza, so we can assume that this is a form made to hold his power back. He'll likely have a form similar to Freeza's true/final form, and probably an ultimate evolution of some kind. Likely not gold.

And for whatever counts, Cooler seemed to have complete control over his own final form in his first movie, so it might be possible.

I meant more, has it been established whether ice aliens on Frieza's level would need to transform to restrain themselves, or could practice substitute?

Probably doesn't matter much though, since if Frost is in charge of the whole universe he has other uses for hiding his power.

He'll probably gently caress up in a similar way as he did in RoF- he'll get too confident, let his guard go down, and then get knocked out of the ring.

Someone please link to that image that had a bunch of Mangastream's Dragon Ball swears translation, thanks in advance.

Nothing's as funny as seeing Goku call his own son "that little poo poo" just for being too busy to go see him fight. Or attacking Freeza with what is translated as "you fool!" everywhere but here it's "YOU STUPID gently caress!".

The way the tournament is set up, it makes sense. Finding out that it is fight till you lose pretty much knocks Buu out. Who ever beats Goku will beat the poo poo out of Piccolo, then Vegeta will win, then lose, then the nipples guy will fight and it will turn out hes absolutely terrible. Then Beerus will argue they get a 5th competitor and Gohan(lol)/ Gotenks (I wish) / someone else will step up and win. Or hell, maybe universe 6 will lose.
