In your eyes, what is a satisfying conclusion for Freeza in this arc?

[BlueVegerot]

I want him to win, get a wish from the super dragon balls and stand at the top of mountain again leading to the next arc, but I doubt we'd get something tasty like that so I'm fine with Freeza laying waste to some saiyans, specifically Cauli and Kale if they defuse, if not then Kafla, but add in some torture and humiliation!

Same fam. Fans of those two will get so triggered if he just humiliates them. I'm hoping for the RoF gohan treatment. Just poke holes in them

[Duo]

Lots of words

I wish I could reply properly in kind, but there's little I can really add to that. You get it. Great post.

[precita]

Freeza has been acting too chummy with Goku lately, it makes me sick to my stomach. Every time of Freeza acting good makes me feel like dying, or going into a coma. Please let's have less of that in the future, I don't want to have a mental breakdown.

[Cetra]

He should have his good moments where he does something of what he planned and fails - like trying to be the villain once more and being killed by the main villain of the next arc. Goku Black would at least have been fitting from a visual aspect for that.

[Freezerbaby]

Freeza and a worn out jiren are the last one standing in the tournament, everyone thinks he stands no chance again the monster, then he uses his trump card and goes golden freeza 100 % full power, defeats Jiren and wins the tournament, wishes to be the next zeno and right away arranges for the next tournament involving universes 1,5,8,12,7,11,6, three fighters per universe, starting the next arc.

Another tournament would be my absolute worst nightmare! I am already tired of this one.

But that would be just the thing an evil Freeza would do to me. Lol

Two tournament arcs back to back? Truly the most diabolical scheme Freeza could ever come up with.

Yo, him dying to the next main antagonist would be pretty damn cool actually.

[Nero<>Akira]

These are the choices Toriyama has at his disposal given what's been shown:
1. Freeza loses his cool in the tournament and tries to go against a GOD, Angel, or Zeno & gets erased. Likely.
2. Freeza helps Goku fight Jiren at the end and they succeed. He backstabs Goku and rings him out, but there is no one besides him in the ring. Leading him to get the Super Dragon Balls and wishes to reign above the Gods but will get erased the moment they hear his wish. Highly Likely.
3. Same as #2, but succeeds before Zeno or anyone succeeds in stopping him. Less Likely, but that doesn't mean he will kill everyone just because. He isn't an idiot who wants to rule NOBODY.
4. Same as #2, but Freeza simply asks for his revival and goes on to rebuild his empire. Less likely because he's specifically stated to want to reign above the Gods.
5. If Vegeta is the last one standing, Freeza will try to backstab him, but will get mollywhopped by Vegeta. He don't play that shit. He got the slip on him once, it won't happen again. very unlikely.
6. Freeza & Goku will have a final confrontation. The end all be all confrontation for them. Freeza or Goku ask Zeno for the chance to get healed in order to fight at full power despite it be a fight between the same universe. Who knows how likely. Not very.

Freeza is not going to get redeemed and he will most likely outlast this arc some way, shape, or form. He's the character that has been taken great care of. Like really taken care of. I don't think I've ever seen a character written like current Freeza in DB handled with such care. There hasn't been a single flib or inconsistency with his character since his reintroduction. Maybe AT will do something completely different from what I've listed, but I just don't see other options given the story and how it's been presented.

[larzooma]

My current idea for Frieza's progression in the tournament involves a fight with Dyspo, which he outright dominates in his Golden form. As is Frieza's way, he tortures Dyspo until he falls off the stage, but unfortunately, Jiren's still waiting back on Goku vs Kefla. He sees what Frieza did to his friend, and with a slight release of anger, smashes him all the way back to his cocoon. There's really not that many characters left with the strength to outright beat Frieza. I actually think he's going to be the next to go after 18. I used to think Toppo would challenge him after watching him cause so much suffering before eliminating other fighters, which would lead to Frieza working Toppo. Watching Frieza's power, Jiren would step in and defeat him with relative ease, which would shock Goku given Frieza's one of the fighters Goku respects in terms of power and ability beyond almost anyone else. None of that happened though, but we still have a JUSTICE warrior in the mix. At first I thought Dyspo's speed may cause Frieza a little trouble, but he has this amazing ability to work through almost any ability and nullify it's effectiveness. He is a fighting prodigy without equal, which is why Goku secretly wants to keep him around. He knows with enough effort and minimal time, he'd be able to grow to a level on par with Jiren. I don't even think he respects Vegeta on that level.

[mahakaishin1991]

Jiren approaches him, Fieza tries to talk his way out of it. Dyspo uses his max speed to kidney shot him from behind, crippling him long enough for toppo to do his choke move on him and throw him out of the arena. Frieza is in the stands.

Frieza tries to make his wish to be the god above all from the stands by interupting the wish moment. He is then trapped by the Daikaishin in a bubble where he is erased and recreated over and over till the end of time

Lol Vegeta won't do shit to Freeza unless he wants to be killed by him a third time.

You're delusional if you think Freeza isn't staying until the end lmao

[JulieYBM]

I'd like to see him win the Tournament of Power and replace the Zen-Ou while also unleashing the Destruction Gods on the universes to cause humiliation and suffering.

[Zephyr]

I at least want him to survive and reproduce. His daughter needs to be the next Dragon Ball protagonist after Goku retires.

I really don't see a reason to think it's inevitable he'll last that long. As of now, I don't think he's going anywhere when the ToP ends, and given the levels we're seeing from Jiren, UI Goku, and Kefla, he's close to useless in a fight. Unless they introduce the insects soon, finally stick together that U3 bucket of bolts, and possibly unleash Ribriannes poweful form, I can't see many people left able to challenge him other than Toppo or Dysop.

[Basaku]

Figuring out a way to outdo/outsmart/control/kill/manipulate/get-rid-of Zeno in some form or fashion. It's still villany, it's cunning, it's fitting for Freeza but doesn't automatically have to lead to actually achieving it himself and becoming the Big Bad Final Boss again (which would be redundant, we've seen him in that role too many times). Let him achieve something while others use it later on to 'win' the arc.

Plus, I don't see anyone else doing anything to actually solve the Zeno issue so... Can't believe I'm rooting for Freeza...

[shadowmaria]

Just before he gets his wish to be brought back forever, his time expires due to his power output (see: Super Saiyan 3 Goku) and he returns to Otherworld

[GreatSaiyaJeff]

Freeza ultimately revealing his true plan/intentions and the Vegeta shows up behind him. Vegeta blasts him away, finally giving Vegeta the satisfaction of killing the evil tyrant. Then we cut to Freeza cursing the cute things.
