What? Redemption? No, I prefer Freeza to be erased for good instead of that.

Spit? Inside mouths ? Definitely the most unrealistic thing about Dragonball.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Because he's already done things no other version of Freeza ever did.

Teamworking with Gohan twice, saving Goku twice, assisting Android 17, giving his energy to the Genki Dama..

Now it's the others turn to save him. Freeza's cold heart is opening up :angel:

Freeza should never be redeemed. I’d have no issue with him getting over his saiyan hate boner but he should stay evil

I seriously hope Freeza doesn’t get redeemed, but I certainly am curious as to how exactly they’re going to conclude his story arc. Is he going to get revived so that he could live to fight another day (possibly for another sequel series or movie), or is he going to get erased once the ToP is over?

i would HATE HATE HATE if Freeza got redeemed.

Did you guys ever hear of the saying "the enemy of the enemy is my friend" Freeza is working with the because he has to or the universe would be erased and he won't get his wish.

Same with Vegeta on Namek. Do you honestly think he wanted to help Gohan and Krillin? Fuck no. But he knew he needed their help (and Goku's) to beat Freeza.

Freeza being redeemed would be the last straw that breaks the camels back and the one thing that would make me stop watching modern Dragonball shows forever. He is pure evil, killed millions of people and main cast members, and is seen as the main villain of the series.

He is not like Vegeta or Piccolo, and Buu had all the evil expelled out of him into a separate character.

After this episode, I wouldn't worry about Freeza getting redeemed at all. His behavior was one long string of kick-the-dog moments, ending with a super hard comeuppance that couldn't have been more deserved. Compare that to 17, another former villain who does everything right this episode and ends it in a much better position. That's the difference between a reformed villain and one who's just as rotten as always.

Yes, we are technically rooting for him against Toppo, but look at the scene where he's shooting Toppo in the back while mocking his justice obsession, and it's pretty obvious who the "hero" of the scene is.

17 and 18 could barely even be considered villains. They kicked the crap out of the Z Fighters because they provoked them first.
Sure they wanted to kill Goku, but that was mostly 16. They just followed him cause they were bored.

But, you see... Super is ending, a movie is coming out in December and God knows when we might get a new animated stuff... So I guess your promise could be fulfiled this time.

I've said this before but the most I could expect from Freeza is a self-indulging neutral character who lacks empathy for anyone. He would be worse than Beerus, probably no allegiances to anyone except himself. His sadism would still be present but perhaps it could be limited to just those who attempt to actively oppose him.

The reason why frieza is in his current condition is all Sidra and Rou’s fault.

Sidra sending that tiny hakai ball and Rou saying Sidra couldn’t easily destroy Freeza made Freeza think he was beyond the Gods of Destruction. Poor Freeza

Yeah, but now he know what a god of destruction can do, while they are still holding back from killing.

You do know Vegeta was a mass murderer and loved it, right?
