Grand Tour!

So is there still no word AT ALL about a DB Super dub? It seems really weird that Funimation hasn't said anything about it.

Well they need to get off of their asses and start dubbing it, at this rate we are going to get the Dragonball Super Abridged before the official dub. With the internet everyone in America is already going to have watched it all by the time they dub it.

"Getting off their asses" isn't the problem, the hold-up is on Toei's end. Toei is notoriously difficult to work with.

Yeah, the Buu Saga is when they figured out how to actually amp things up. Buu doesn't just kill you, he eats your soul, or worse he goes into the after life and double kills you! Frieza blew up one planet? Well Buu will blow up one per minute!

Buu made a child eat an old man, like, I don't know where you go from there.

I finally got to catch up on the thread since Dragon Team released their subs and I got to watch them tonight.

I really doubt Frost was responsible for what happened to Goku, he looks surprised and exclaims how Goku is wide open before he takes him out. I would assume it was either Hit or Vados doing something.

It is quite amusing to see how much of a through the looking glass character set up everyone has been up to this point. Champa doesn't really care about staying the course of a god of destruction like Beerus, Vados is more of a force to push him down that path than Whis was to Beerus as well. The Saiyans and Arcosians(?) being forces of good to start with as well.

Speaking of Freiza's race, have they ever talked about that at all? I was disappointed to see everyone refer to Frost as Universe 6's Frieza, instead of another of his race.

Freeza's race hasn't been named officially at all. Even in Xenoverse it's just "Freeza's race".

Frost is referred to as Universe 6's Freeza because that's exactly what he is. He's of the same race, has the same position, the same voice, and is the same kind of mutant with ungodly power. He isn't just another one of his race, he seems to literally be Freeza's U6 version.

I don't think Frieza has a "race" per se, I think a few times I have heard him referred to as a mutant (Or, at least King Cold is the mutant). He must be unique, everyone in the universe knows about Frieza, but no one talks about his home planet. His strength can't come from his race, a whole planet of Friezas would be noticed.

He is also immortal, in the sense that he doesn't age, so there is no telling how old he is or where he came from.

Frieza is a mutant, in that he is STUPIDLY overpower for his race. Much like say, your Tien or Krillin is to the human race. Weak as they may be in comparison, At peak power it's still tens of thousands times stronger then a normal human, and since Frieza's race would most likely be much stronger then the human race to start with, he's just that much more ridiculous.

Xenoverse calls them Freeza race but if you play as one Cell refers to you as a "Frost demon" when you fight him.

Yeah, I get the feeling being able to breath in space (snicker) is a racial ability, so a generic Frost Demon is probably up there with a normal Saiyan or Namekian.

Well it can't just mean he doesn't need to breath, as Frieza clearly pants when he gets tired. This must mean that his race breaths single hydrogen atoms and cosmic rays.

It was invented by the dub as the name of the aliens that first makes contact with the Saiyans. It was assumed this was Freeza's Race, because they gave the Saiyans technology and hired them to capture planets.

The funimation dub http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Arcosian

Frieza and his father are considered mutants because they're so stupidly strongly. I'd imagine you don't hear about his race because Frieza doesn't give a drat about them. Probably getting their poo poo pushed in like everybody else not defended by the galactic patrol

They were called Frost Demons in Dragon Ball Multiverse long before that. I'm guessing someone working on Xenoverse included that as a reference.
