Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

I dont really see any shots in the opening I can 100% conclude hes taller. Ill have to watch it after work. Youre probably right I've just never noticed.

This shot is really nice, love Freeza expression there and the background. I wonder what he is doing...

I think that would be awesome.
That would be SO BADASS.
Zamasu is the best DB villain besides Freeza (and this is only the case because the current Super arc elevated Freeza to be that good).

It would erase the stench Movie 8 did to Vegeta, and also it would mean Vegeta will defeat Brianne.

Do figure manufacturers have any history of getting insight into future storylines?

James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

I meant actual details of the storyline, like who will fight who and who wins. Of course they're going to know a new character or transformation is going to appear if they're given a reference sheet to design a figure, but do they know anything beyond looks?

Does Dragon Ball Heroes count?

Just wondering if there's any reason to even try speculating over the poses they chose for that figure display.

Freeza turning into a Z fighter after this tournament wouldn't surprise me as crazy as that sounds. He won't be the first enemy of Goku turned into ally, although nobody went as far as Freeza did in terms of despicable crimes.

A lot of people are against it happening, but I would love if it did. I can never get enough of the heel turn trope in DB.

Freeza turning good would be jump the shark fanfiction and would literally make me quit Super.

Thankfully there's no chance of that happening. Freeza will always be evil and he'll probably betray Goku/Universe 7 team at some point in the tournament or go rogue.

People keep using the term fanfiction, but I don't think they know what it means.

And never say never. People also claim that Freeza wouldn't be on the U7 team.

You seem to have a pretty big list of things that would make you quit Super. A lot of straws.

Fanfiction is when something so bad or unrealistic happens in canon. Super has aspects of that (female Saiyans, a Broly-type character, Freeza's constant returns), but there has to be a place where you draw the line.

Freeza becoming a "good guy" like Vegeta would be such a god awful disgrace and slap in the face to the entire Dragonball franchise, ruin Freeza's character, make all the heroes look like idiots, and destroy any integrity this show has left. But I don't think that will happen so it doesn't matter.

My guess is Freeza will turn out to be the main villain after or during the tournament.
