Here's why Frost sucks.

It's not What If Freeza Was Smarter


It's "What If Freeza Was a Coward"

To facilitate this, Frost is notably weaker than Freeza.

Actually that's why he's cool??????? 90% of Super's whole steeze is 'Fight smarter not harder' with people using goofy gimmicks smart to put up a decent fight and Frost is the Super version of Freeza. He knows he can't win a head on fight so he takes what he can get. Being a super coward and having to take pot shots is an interesting twist on Freeza's character (which was 'I am an unstoppable force of desire of destruction and will crush all').

Super Saiyin God/Red Aura is base Saiyin+God Ki which is >>> Than any super saiyin form.

Super Saiyin Blue is going into a super saiyin boost in God form. It's better than red but costs more stamina similar to how Normal goku vs. SSJ Goku work.

It's not a power vs. speed form Goku's just maximizing his output while minimizing energy costs by toggling the Blue.

So basically Goku could have been using Red this whole time since he got it, and he technically was whenever he was Blue, but it was the newest hottest power form so he just dumped God like it was the Kaioken post-Namek and exclusively went Red+Gold for that sweet Blue

THEN he added Kaioken on top of that because Goku is out of his loving mind and is slamming on templates and buffs like he was running D&D in 2003

Yeah the fact that the Blue Kaioken hosed him up make sense cause he's stacking like three booster forms at once.

Krillin's been explicitly set up throughout the ToP arc as 'The one that actually fights pretty smart.' Keeping up with SSB Goku with trickery and smart technique. If anyone could have handled that fight from U7 it was him.

Saiyan through Cell sagas of DBZ had massive worldwide cultural impact. It effortlessly crossed ethnic boundaries.

It's a shame Super only tries to appeal to the typical anime audience.

Both movies got nationwide theatrical releases in the US and Super has the original VA cast dubbing and it's doing pretty loving well so overall it's got the saturation, and still resonates across ethnic boundaries. Goku's still pretty loving huge among Hispanic and Black viewers. A quick look around social media or youtube can confirm that.

You're technically right, it's not massive and influential as Old Goku stuff but like...it's brand new? And the old poo poo is old and thus had time to spread and be referenced again and again. What you said there is a completely baffling statement. 'Eeeehhhhhh kids aren't watching it on TV anymore so it's clearly doing bad among its old fanbases' is loving stupid in the age we live in where TV at large is being drained of blood by streaming services.

Am I technically right or are you completely baffled?

I'm baffled that you thought it was a smart point to make or that it meant anything significant and that's why I said 'You are TECHNICALLY correct in that Super is Less Influential than it's predecessor that it 25+ years older and has had an entire generation of time to spread out and influence things compared to the show that started 2 years ago and whose non-japanese dubs started 1 year ago.' Your point was dumb and didn't support your argument nor really added anything to the conversation other than 'I don't like Super as much as I like Z so it's clearly cause it's more anime than Z was.' I mean that's not even covering how dumb your argument that it's only Cell saga back that's influential when every fan at large loves talking about Fusions and Adult Gohan (mostly in the context of 'Didn't get what he deserved) and The Great Saiyaman.

King Piccolo ate, or at least it was implied that he did. Piano (little minion with pterodactyl head) forced people to cook a huge feast for him when he took over the palace. We never see him actually eating, though.

I wonder if evil Namekians eat but the good ones don't? It would make sense for the good Namekians to eschew food as part of some pacifist vaguely Buddhist-esque choice to abstain from worldly pleasures while the evil Namekians are all about chowing down on decadent sumptuous feasts.

They've made multiple fighting game LPs that is 60% them saying "well CANON wise this fight should be a blow out!" because beating someone in a fight once somehow means you'd beat them 10/10 times regardless of circumstance.

We just had an episode recently where Jiren's power level was so high that punching him as hard as you could in 90% of the SS forms did not even make him flinch. You cannot have it both ways.

It explicitly can have it both ways? Like the whole moral of Super is 'You Have No Limits and Technique is Better Than Pure Strength' and Jiren is the ultimate test of that creed. Jiren is Overwhelming Strength personified and Goku caught up to him with an imperfect technique. He'll ultimately beat him with a perfected version of it.

I could absolutely see Frieza getting the MVP wish, tossing it over to Goku as a "nice gesture", and letting them revive him with the standard balls. After that, he graciously thanks them, ominously compliments Vegeta on his new daughter, and flies off with a "Hooooo ho ho hohoho" as they stand there helpless to kill him, because they owe him for saving the universe, they're the good guys, and they still have that "well, if he DOES show up again, we'll beat him then" mindset. Vegeta has to be physically held back from murdering him thanks to the Bra thing, but otherwise Frieza gets to leave without issue to begin planning his new multiversal conquest.

Possibly he starts trying to conspire with the rear end in a top hat Gods of Destruction like "Did you see just how foolish your Zen-Os are? Maybe the universes could use a new leader..."

He goes to collect the Super Dragon Balls and it's just GT but good.

the "beerus is bad at his job" thing too makes little sense if you think about it for even a tiny second. we have SEEN beerus travel to another universe and preemptively kill a kai because it was the right thing to do. him killing buu back when buu was obliterating all of u7 would have been such an incredibly trivial thing for him considering the difference in power that its comical to suggest he would have rathered let it all happen instead of spending 30 seconds erasing him

"Beerus being bad at his job doesn't make sense given all this evidence that he's lazy and doesn't do his job because he's really lovely and lazy"

His job would be to delete Buu tho. It being trivial to him but him still choosing not to over napping is why he's bad at his job. You're conflating the idea that he's Technically Skilled at SDestroying which no one is saying he isn't, it's just he doesn't put forth the effort to actively do his duty which makes him bad at his job.

SSJ4 is the stupidest poo poo in the world and actively ruins the entire point of Goku's history of training and adventure. Goku and friends have always been about self improvement not through some weird trick of genetics but by actively working on the betterment of the self through training. So we go from a progression of forms and strength based on that training and mastering each tier of power and form to "SSJ4 which is explicitly about tapping into some racial, bestial potential and nature to power yourself up. It's dumb and bad and goes against everything Goku's worked for in his life. On top of that it's very very ugly and very clearly made by some lovely writer trying to be clever and tie up all of Goku's growth back to his origins in a big bow by bringing up a transformation that had been forgotten and ignored by Toriyama for decades for a drat good reason (The form served its purpose and was now just a dumb old thing that should be forgotten.)

Yeah thanks for showing off something that explicitly proves me right. Gohan gets power not through dedication and self improvement but having an outside force cheat him into being strong and what does he do with that power? Nothing. He loses again and again and accomplishes nothing of any worth as a fighter. Gohan's arc expressly shows that that kind of strength has to come from dedication and effort to be worth anything. It's why his arc in Super has been "Learning to care enough about protecting everyone to actually seek out self improvement and training."

SSJ4 is the Gohan of power ups. It sucks and a lot of weird nerds are super into it even though its the dumbest poo poo.
