Is this the first time Korin and Yajirobe have been in Super?

Dragon Balls? Are they tasty?
The next episode will probably be intense. I'm happy with this direction. Slice of life is great and all, but a new Big Bad is always fun. The black/purple aura looks really intimidating.

Even if Freeza were cut in half he would've immediately murdered Krillin upon getting back up. There is no scenario where Krillin wins that fight.

Krillian would have died, but for DBZ characters that is a minor setback. The important part is winning the fight and keeping control of the Dragonballs! If Krillan cut Frieza in half then Piccolo/Vegita would have easily finished him off the moment they arrived.

Maybe not

Remember Freeza did regenerate his tail when he went into his further transformations.

He might have been able to heal whatever damage Krillin did to him that way too.

Was there an explanation why Bulma automatically knew Future Trunk's hair was blue?

They're retconing his hair to have always been blue, while also including flashbacks to cell saga that show the purple hair. Just don't think about it.

I have a feeling they might lampshade it somehow. Future Trunks having blue hair and eyebrows while young Trunks has purple has to be explained, still.

Maybe someone in the production team is really concerned that people are going to somehow confuse Kid Trunks and Future Trunks and made the hair color different for that reason?

If I recall correctly, some of the preview stuff for RoF stated Bulma had actually been in contact with Future Trunks, so if there were any changes, she'd be aware immediately.

And come now, isn't the most simple explanation "He dyed it.", especially if they show flashbacks? Why jump to the immediate "IT'S A RETCON :supaburn:" conclusion?

Nothing in the series suggests Trunks has dyed his hair, at least so far.

And it was purple in a flashback, too. If they wanted to retcon it, they'd change the color in a flashback. They made a new flashback in literally the same episode for Goku and Krillin.

It also turned yellow at one point too!

All that his hair being a different color proves right now is that it is a different color. It could be hair dye, or it could just be a different kind of stylization for the character by the animators- same way Goku being less muscular now isn't because of some narrative reason. It could also have just changed naturally over time.

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.

I guess calling it a retcon was harsh. More like they changed the design for no particular reason, and aren't going to bother with writing it into the plot. For some reason that's just what seemed like the simplest explanation to me instead of immediately thinking "Trunks has been sending letters back in time to inform Bulma he dyed his hair."

Maybe Present Trunks will assume Future Trunks is the favorite because his hair is blue and thus will dye it blue soon, therefore making a perfect time loop.

Saw an interesting tumblr post that basically goes: Goku took to heart the lesson about keeping his guard up no matter what and that's how he didn't get suckerpunched by Trunks despite trusting the kid and still looking really confused while blocking.
