But, despite my overall lukewarm (at the very best) feelings on Super's execution, what has me excited for this is that it isn't Dragon Room et al. choosing to bring back Freeza for a celebrity cameo; it's Toriyama outlining a plot that involves him teaming up with the heroes (as payoff for the last Freeza story line).

That's something else entirely, and it promises to be highly amusing.

At this point we're all just speculating, but a "Get out of Hell free" card wouldn't be enough?
No but what if he is allowed access to another universe one with more fruitful planets to conquer and sell

This situation could have easily been prevented by having 12 fighters with Yamcha included as well.

I hope you're not implying that Boo is a part of the main cast because he most definitely isn't. He has never been relevant outside the Boo saga and even then, fat boo became almost completely irrelevant once he was absorbed.
It would be a disgrace to the rest of the team apart from 17 if they go out early but Frieza lasts a long time as they are apart of the main cast.
Piccolo will go out before Frieza.

Its been confirmed to be legit, now the hope of some is that it turns out to be just padding and Boo wakes up.

I'm sorry, but this is just so fucking laughable but in truth makes me want to cry.

Why wasn't Buu sleeping all the time during his revival?

So, Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo and Krillin will be happy on the thought Frieza's working by them? lmao.

He's overused asf. Namek, Pikkon filler, Buu filler, Movie 12, Revival of F and GT.

Super has crashgrab and fanfiction written all over it. :lol:

I hope someone kills Mr.Satan so Buu gets extremely pissed and creates evil Buu again, then evil Buu absorbs Frieza, then he destroys Super. :')

The funny thing is if a death stare does happen it'll be Piccolo and Vegeta getting fucked up if they try something.

Piccolo is the only one aside from who doesn't show up as much in the opening nor has been any hype or foreshadowing around him,i see him getting knocked out first.

Because Dragon Ball Supers Logic implies anything can happen. If Roshi, Tien, Krillin and Yamcha teamed up on Beerus. There's a good chance they'll win.

But yeah, Buu should just absorb Beerus and end everything because there's only so much a Dragon Ball fan can take before the fanfiction shit overwhelms everything that made Dragon Ball special.

Why? Piccolo and Vegeta have got stronger and Frieza would not be as strong as he has done nothing since his died again. That also means Frieza's Golden form will still be useless after a little while since he could not have improved it.

Piccolo has been getting promotion though. Fighting in episode 88 and 90 while getting stronger and creating combo moves with Gohan. Piccolo was also with Gohan in the opening. I still predict a tag team between Gohan and Piccolo to win it.

Anyway after this stuff with Buu you can't really use promotional material as evidence on how well someone is going to do in this arc.

Yeah, it saved Trunks' timeline, which is why he's now living happily with Mai in a timeline he saved from Zamasu....oh wait that timeline got nuked by Future Zen'o. Well, still the power of friendship!

Super a cashgrab, you mean like the entire Dragon Ball franchise? Are fans just forgetting that Toriyama stated that he created Dragon Ball for the money and it's basically a fantasy story with everything thrown against the wall. I mean, a fan-favorite arc involved time-travel, boy from the future who is the son of two characters who barely talked to each before that point who owned the villain from the previous arc effortlessly, androids, an android from the future, and Gohan suddenly becoming important. The Android/Cell Saga has more fanfics stuff that this arc.

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.

Lol yes you can considering Buu was one of the few who got the least promoted along side Piccolo and Tien and maybe Roshi but Tien and Roshi both have great shots in the opening Piccolo doesn't.

Because unlike last time, Frieza wont be dicking around since he knows he has stamina issues. Piccolo's still below the likes of Ultimate Gohan, Vegeta on the other hand we will see but I'm clinging more to Golden Freeza. Goku's only stronger than him because of SSJBKK anyways.

I predict a Gohan and Piccolo tag team as well but them winning it? far, at best I see Goku,Vegeta and Freeza as the last 3 guys.

He will still have stamina issues as he has been doing nothing while in hell. Frieza can only be worse than last time. Gohan apparently matches Goku so that woupd makhim stronger than Frieza and you see Piccolo has got much stronger and obviously you have Piccolo's straetgy on top.

First everyone said Goku, Vegeta and Gohan then it was Goku, Vegeta and 17 then back to Goku, Vegeta and Gohan now its Goku, Vegeta and Frieza? Everyone needs to stop being being influenced by 1 episode or 1 piece of promotional material as all everyone keeps doing is changing their minds every few days.

Said all I need to on Freeza on Saturday, the Buu thing sucks but expected Toriyama only see's him as a gag character it seems. The thing I am clinging on to is the fact that the episode summary doesn't confirm Freeza actually comes back just that Goku wants him too. Fingers crossed, hopefully we can get some other episodes titles from other magazines and not wait another month for NewType I am sure #94 title will confirm if Freeza is or not.

The stamina issue only kicks in if he drags the fights, characters such as Piccolo,Gohan,Roshi,Krillin,18 are mere fodder to him that he can take out at a touch like how he dealt with Gohan, 1 punch and dead. Worst than last time probably, but still more than enough to take out more than half the roster. That depends, we only see Goku using SSJ2 and is probably going SSJ3 in the prev, until we see the ep itself we wont know where Gohan stands and gauging him from Goku isnt exactly the way to go, unless you think Krillin is equal to God Goku since he was able to push his wave back? Goku's mary dicking everyone around making them think they're special and hyping them up from the looks of it, he even comments that fighting Roshi sends chills in his fists.... I dont even want to understand what he meant by that.

I dont see that as a bad thing, Frieza came out of the blue, it aint odd to say he's one of their top guns if not their top 2 fighter depending on how Vegeta will handle his training.

Y'know, now that Freeza's been confirmed there really is no reason we couldn't get Goten and Trunks over Roshi and Tenshinhan, given Gokus reasoning for excluding them in the first place I doubt the boys would be any harder to work with than the guy who murdered his best friend before his eyes and committed mass, planetary genocide.

The character interactions will definitely be interesting as Krillin and Piccolo sure as hell aren't gonna like this decision.
