He might hate Frieza but it's likely nothing like the hate Frieza has for the Saiyans. He saw Goku fighting him, it was his fight and he doesn't seem like the kind who would jump in just because of his emotions. He did he wouldn't interfere.

Beerus had an undetectable Ki which is why the others never knew about him.

It could well be forgotten and they don't have to be as strong as Goku but if they just come out with 2 or 3 characters that exist somewhere in Universe 7 and they just so happen to be even half as strong as Goku it just wouldn't be a good idea.

They should have felt it, the Kai's should perhaps should have known about it, King Cold only warned Frieza about Beerus and Buu etc so any new power houses should be saved for the Universe 6 side.

Frieza is really strong, Beerus knows him and he'd be a good pick. Not just because of his strenght but for how it'd shake up the saga. All we've seen of Frieza is him wanting to and attempting to kill the Saiyans so it'd be a whole different side of him.

Him being somewhat forced to be on the team on the same side as Goku and him fighting other characters and making us wonder if were supposed to root for or against him and if he's going to betray anyone and seeing him be put in his place by Beerus is just a lot more interesting and has a lot more potential than just having someone like Krillin.

It's enough hate that he wanted to kill Freeza the next time he saw him. I highly doubt he wants to bring Freeza back. It'd be more of a headache for him.

I meant he comes in from outta nowhere as nothing really eluded to Beerus existence til suddenly he exists, and suddenly he's shoehorned into everything. Hence more strong people in the universe is not surprising. You say this now, but if it happened I doubt you'd say the same thing. You'd probably say the same thing about Beerus if you heard him in concept before he existed. It's the same with Freeza's power up. No one would buy it before the movie came out.

You're making it sound like they care about power levels. I doubt they have that concern at all. They aren't thinking "Hey SSJ3 did this so no one else can be like this."

Freeza would rather die than work with Goku probably. Also I'd rather not see Freeza AGAIN for the 7th time. He was already back, in my opinion, a very lame and so pointless come back that it was a huge waste of time. He shouldn't have come back at all honestly. I'd rather not over rely on Freeza and move on.

And then Freeza becomes a good guy and becomes Goku's new best friend. No I don't want Freeza to be around as that's what will happen. That or he will just end up dying AGAIN sooner or later. I mean you can like the idea, but I personally don't. I see why people want Freeza around, but I don't need him back to be embarrassing again.

I'd honestly be ridiculously happy with Freeza, because the idea of a reluctantly good-aligned Freeza amuses the hell out of me and wouldn't be an illogical step with his being one of the most powerful Universe 7 mortals as of "F." I doubt it will happen, though, and that's fine too. There's also the problem of that kind of forcing him to become good -- which he's made clear over and over again he's beyond, and it was part of the thematic weight of the end of his first fight with Goku -- or be killed yet again.

But, really, I'm always up for more Freeza, especially with Toriyama taking him out of his comfort zone.

For universe 7 I'm gonna go with the typical Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, and Gotenks/Boo.

For universe 6 I honestly don't care as long as it's cool and fun and unique and all that stuff. I will say that I would love it if Freeza didn't end up dying and was recruited by Champa though. That way Freeza would get a cool rematch against Vegeta where both are at their peaks. It's probably not going to happen though regrettably.

Why is there so much talk of Freeza here? Has there been indication that he's coming back again?

I doubt they would have killed him in the movie if they had any attention of keeping him around.

It is just a puzzle, but still, those five being the candidates are likely since they are the strongest of the bunch (with the kids as Gotenks) and generally the universe. Though it's also predictable. I do kinda wish we'd get someone like Buu on Universe 7's team...but Buu is an asshole in Super. :think:

Am I the only one who like asshole Boo? :lol:

@ Precita: I can't speak for anyone else, but the only reason I want Freeza back was because he was kind of wasted in the Resurrection F movie. There was so much you could do with him, but instead he just kind of dies... It was just kind of disappointing... Plus there's the whole, "Vegeta deserves to kill Freeza" thing that went around for awhile.

Because the chapter said Freeza was defeated and not killed (even though defeated can also mean killed) and some fans have taken this to mean he is alive. It is making for annoying reading.

No. Like most products for Super, it's just a puzzle themed after the series in general. Thought it is a bit more "F" focused now that we're heading there ins the series itself.

Obviously my team involves people from alternate timelines but as far as we know there's no restrictions on that yet!
Why would you want Vegeta twice? It's taking up a spot of another character who could be utilized much better.

Anyway my 5 are this:
1. Goku
2. Vegeta
3. Piccolo
4. Trunks
5. Goten

I love Gohan but at the same time he had his chance, give the boys the opportunity to shine individually instead of just being fusion fodder

Well depending on his relationship with Champa he might hate the idea of losing to him even more and so could begrudgingly recruit Frieza if it means he has a greater chance at winning.
You say this now, but if it happened I doubt you'd say the same thing. You'd probably say the same thing about Beerus if you heard him in concept before he existed. It's the same with Freeza's power up. No one would buy it before the movie came out.
They came up with a good reason as to why he existed and nobody knew about it though. His energy couldn't be sensed and he slept for decades at a time. Also with Frieza it was different because we know he went from weak to strong. However if it turned out there were more of these ridiculously strong characters and nobody ever knew about them and nobody ever sensed them even though they'd reached a point they could be sensed across the universe then that wouldn't make much sense.

They could go find a work around like they did with Beerus but if they don't I'm going to wonder why nobody knew of them, sensed them or mentioned them. Didn't Supreme Kai say that Goku was the strongest in his realm in the Buu saga? I'm not sure if he was aware of Beerus at the time though.
Freeza would rather die than work with Goku probably.


Well if means getting his life back or being moved to another part of hell so it didn't have to be surrounded by teddy bears for the rest of time then maybe he'd put up with it. Maybe even then Frieza would want to kill Goku but he doesn't because he knows what Beerus would do to him. He doesn't have to become a good guy.

He's also dead and there's not even a hint that they'll bring him back. I highly doubt they'll bring him back a 7th time.

Why do you keep bringing up being sensed across the universe? They don't care about that kind of consistency. They do whatever they want. Even so you say this now because the idea hasn't been realized, but if it were you'd probably be on board. Freeza's idea came out of nowhere with an idea no one would have bought if it wasn't written by Toriyama. It'd be dismissed as total nonsense if the idea was simply pitched by anyone else. They could do this but the likely way they'll go is have the fighters of earth fight.

It happens every time the bad guys work with the good guys. They slowly become good or become good later on. Piccolo, Vegeta, the cyborgs, Boo, has happened every time. And if it doesn't happen then Freeza will just be killed off again because they can't have him running around free.

I really can't get behind Freeza coming back. He is my favorite villain of the series and he was already neutered to hell in FnF. Seeing him having to swallow even more shit by being forced to work with his mortal enemies wouldn't be fun. It would be torture. I can take him being beaten down by Goku, since the latter has freaking god powers and, with the huge power up he became the strongest bad guy the 7th Universe had. But they should respect the guy, in his portrayal. He would probably suck Champa's dick before fighting for Earth, so I really don't want it happen.

Not to mention, there are charcters other than him who deserve the spotlight. The guy will have a whole movie/arc dedicated to him. Just let him rest in pieces.

The only way I would accept him joining is if half way trough the tournament just blows up the whole 6th Universe, but since I also want new and original villains, I wouldn't support that too much either.

I hate the idea of Freeza working with the Z fighters. He is pure evil and should stay that way. He's the Joker of Dragon Ball. Having him become good would ruin his image of being the most iconic villain in the series.

Buu always been known to be kinda of a dick since he does have a brain of a two year old. In DBZ, he mainly just wanted to eat food and didn't want to follow orders.

Freeza would stil be evil until the end.
Fight for his universe doesn't mean he must become Goku's friend. Nor I would want that.
A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.

If he teamed up he'd probably become an anti hero like Vegeta was, and then good later. That's what has happened every time the bad guys teamed up with Goku. If that didn't happen, then Freeza would just end off being embarrassingly killed again by either Goku, maybe Vegeta, or Beerus since Beerus wanted to kill Freeza since BOG. I doubt Freeza will just roam free afterwards without a problem.
