Forms of Freeza and Cell you've never seen

Post by kei17 » Sat Apr 04, 2015 1:47 pm

Recently, a video from a stage show has been uploaded on YouTube. It's "Dragon Ball GT Show" held at a department store in Sendai, Japan in 1997. And in it, Freeza and Cell appear with a new form that we've never seen in any other media!

Seems that we'd already had Freeza's new form before Golden Freeza. :lol:

Oh stage shows. Always introducing special, unique only to you forms and characters! The designs are kinda silly (WHAT IS THE BELTS ON FREEZA'S CHEST FOR?!) but in their own way they're charming. Though maybe Mad Max Freeza could tone the rape face down a little... :?

7 do I hear 7 times they've brought back Freeza now :lol:.

Though I'm curious to the plot of this story, how they're back, why they look so different, and how it ends cause the vid ended before the play did.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

WTF happened to Freeza? Cell doesn't look horrible or anything, but Freeza looks like a some sort of punk/cueball hybrid trainer class with a Pokemon mask. xD

I don't know how I feel about that Freeza design...

On one hand I like it. But on the other hand...doesn't really feel like Freeza. At all.

And hey, before you know it maybe we'll see these forms in Dragon Ball Heroes. :P

That's honestly what I'm thinking. These were alternate forms for Freeza and Cell in GT exclusively.

Well according to Kei it was a GT stageshow. Usually stageshows develop things exclusive to it for the purpose of drawing in viewers, such as forms or characters. It's actually really common, specially with Kamen Rider Stageshows. These forms most likely would have never showed up in the actual GT series and only be known in this stageshow. It's like how in the Kamen Rider Faiz Stageshows, we got Kamen riders Alpha, Beta and Gamma but they're never seen in the show, mentioned or referenced at all. (Mostly cause stageshows occur very late in a series or once it's over.) I actually never knew DB did stageshows...it's...kinda neat.

Oh god, the video of it is so incredibly awkward to watch. I was cringing most of the way through.

There's something about the costumes that I find kind of unsettling, perhaps it's the lifeless eyes... or Goku's giant head.

Cell looks awesome in my opinion. And Frieza looks like a samurai :lol:

Wasn't there one for Kai a few years back that featured Broly?

I don't know. This is the first I've heard of a Dragon Ball stageshow. But I think I may go and look for a few now, see what they're like cause I've watched a few of the kamen rider stageshows and those are a blast.

The Ginyu Force arc and Great Saiyaman arc is the closest DBZ will get to in regards to being a Tokusatsu series.

I Toriyama write Dragon Ball: Tokusentai, detailing the Ginyu Forces battles up until Namek. I think we deserve it, we've all waited long enough.

I actually kinda like the Freeza form. Though not so much as a Freeza form, more as a "this is another member of Freeza's race" kind of thing. Would be kinda neat to see one of them wear clothes that aren't just the standard armor (and sometimes a cape) for once. XD

Fukkatsu no F.C :lol: We'll show you our further evolution, He-man-Freeza wearing Buu belt and Perfect pants Cell :lol: These designs would be cool to draw on paper.
