True, but that is kind of standard mentor advise. It isn't like Whis told them how to actually do it.
I figured that was a call forward to the scene where he tells them to keep their ki inside, but you're right, he doesn't really tell them how to do it. He just notices they're wasting ki and tells them to fix it. They do the rest on their own.

Don't be shocked if the likes of 18, Muten and Tenshinhan last more than 17, Piccolo, Gohan, Freeza and Vegeta do.
Everything can now happen.

Krillin going down first isn't that big of a deal. It would have been much more unexpected if Vegeta, Gohan, Freezer or 17 went down first.

I'm very interested in seeing how Vegeta fights Botamo and how his rematch with Megetta will pan out. It's also become more and more apparent that Krillin will get eliminated/disqualified when coming to the aid of his wife. I'm personally fine with that context of Krillin being the first member of Universe 7 to get the boot if that is the case. It at least fits in the context of how the show states that Android 18 and Krillin were going to work together in the Tournament Of Power. I hope, at the very least, we get to see one tag-team combo move between Krillin and Android 18 before Krillin gets the old heave-ho.

It's fan made, but if this is how the hair would look from the front, that would be great

We all know about USSJ and it's weakness.

But Frieza at Namek used something like it without losing speed.

[spoiler]Image[/spoiler]

If not for stamina issues he would be like Broly LSSJ <3

And now think about Full Power Golden Frieza

It says he's using multiple Kienzans, it says he's distracted, it says he gets disqualified. I can't imagine stronger grounds to speculate that he ends up killing someone.

Do you think he's packing heat or a hidden senzu bag?
Actually, now that I've derided the idea, I can also picture a scenario where it could be a senzu. Far more shaky speculative grounds, though.

Golden freeza itself kinda looks like freeza's 100℅ full power form but a more controlled version..
His muscle mass grows his height grows and it had stamina issues just like his 100℅ from..

Also, goku before training cauliflowa, should definitely recite these words

Speaking of Freeza, since it can make forms up and make colours up, maybe it's white and purple isn't it's natural colour? Maybe it's natural colour is like all black or something?

I also I wonder if other species can do what Freeza does, make forms and colours. Perhaps Goku and Vegeta chose Blue for SSGSS because it represented tranquillity?

Btw SSGSS should have been re-named Super Saiyan Tranquilly or Super Saiyan Equanimity not the stupid Super Saiyan Blue that we got, thanks Toyo. :problem:

BTW it's still funny that Roshi and Frieza can pump themselves up without losing anything bar maybe stamina but the saiyans lost speed

It will be a rage moment like when Beerus slapped Bulma.

If that Dragon Ball Heroes is anything to go by then it's going to come down to Goku and Frieza vs Jiren.

That'd be kind of interesting really, it coming down to the last stretch and battle and they'd actually put aside their differences to beat Jiren for real without any tricks or betrayal. Golden Frieza even sacrificing himself to keep Goku in the Tournament somehow after acknowledging that he's the only one who could beat Jiren.

Oh, so now we know that it was Toyotaro's idea? Great! So that means that the timeline problems of the Black arc are by Toei right? I mean they did their version first so of course is their idea and not Toriyama's! This explains a lot!

Seriously now, I would gadly take Blue or whatever other simple name over that two. Doesn't fit at all with the way Goku and the rest have been naming the rest of the SS forms.

About Freeza, I don't think there is any implication about his true form not having its actual colours. Then again, we know shit about his race so who knows... If Frost someday unlocks a UE form maybe they will explain the whole "Choose your color" thing.

They didn't. Whis was actually upset since he told Goku and Vegeta could do this stuff at home and didn't need him. Nothing in his training had anything to do with god ki. The dimension Whis sent them only made them train within a faster amount of time, which is really no different from the time chamber.
Then we must be watching two different shows, because keeping Ki in your body while maintaining no leakage produces God Ki. The dimension they were sent to was key part into that, as seen they weren't even able to move a muscle until they mastered keeping in Ki their body without leakage. Incidentally, it was similar to the ROSAT in the regard speeding up your lurning curve and progress for training, but only for a specific type of training. With that said, I still think the way to attain God Ki is stupid.

As for the Dragon Ball Heroes OP, it looks pretty much like its gonna come down to Goku and Frieza vs Jiren.

Remember the last time when it forshadowed Goku travelling to the future to fight against Black and Zamasu??

Frieza might try to fight Jiren or team up with Goku but Frieza will obviously fail besides it only showed Goku and Frieza vs Jiren and why would that fight happen anyway ? if the last people standing are these 3 then universe 7 wins automatically no need to fight.

It can happen because they need to win, could be because the time limit isnt over yet.

I was and still am perfectly fine with Krillin sacrificing himself for 18, but not now. Too early.
