OOooo. That sounds like fun. If it's true I hope it leads to something cool.

I guess that rules out Frieza becoming a good guy.

Though at some point I'm expecting Frost to turn on Frieza or viceversa.

Specifically scheming together, or just that both of them will be scheming?

Frost really comes off as redundant more now than ever now that Freeza is back, so I wonder what they're going to do with him? As of now Frost isn't much more than a "poor man's Freeza" and he can't even use his poison in the tournament this time.

But I thought they were always recording episodes the week it airs?
How in the world can they record something minimum three weeks before the episode actually airs? That sounds so weird...

I imagine the dialogue scenes don't take very long to animate. Besides, it's not the first time this has happened, we first learned that Vegetto would make an appearance under similar circumstances.

I want Frieza to hire Frost as his underling. Gotta have someone replace Captain Ginyu. :lol: Of course, I'm also hoping U6 and U7 team up, so Frost and Frieza conspiring together would work perfectly under those circumstances.

How would people feel if Freeza and Frost fused together?

Well, who says it couldn't be both? We probably have smart writers that thought RoF was a waste of time with his character and they could use this arc to do actually something good with him.
precita wrote: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.
Oh yeah, I also agree the idea of Frieza becoming a good is utterly ridiculous, but he becoming the main villain of this arc? That is also awful, girl.

So basically Freeza... I think it'd provide the potential for an interesting hour or less.

Two close friends are at the panel right now and also told me this, so I guess it's true.
That sounds really lame. It's like the first thing anyone would have guessed. Would have rather they not get along. Would have been more interesting that way, and not just in the "Rah we don't get along because I want the power blah blah blah."
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Prediction: Frieza and Frost scheme together until their plan works out and both of them turn on each other only for both of them to be eliminate themselves. :P

I dont know what exactly they could even plot about. Unless something changes, one of them and their universe is going to be destroyed and if they kill anyone then they risk too much. The most they can realistically hope for is ringing out Goku due to spite or if they are are smart they can tag-team the other universes fighters until only they remain.

But really while of a similar nature Frieza and Frost could never realistically work together. Over looking their natural inclinations for back-stabbing, Frieza was a Tyrant who ruled by fear and power while Frost was a false saint who ruled by lies and sub-diffuse. While that would make seem like the perfect blend at first glance, their strong personalities will quickly clash over differences. It would then boil down to who will kill who first.

A) In a Bs way like Hell Fighter 17 and 17 did in DBGT.

B) They will steal potaras from a Kaioshin, and become Merged Zamasu level at least (without immortality).

Freeza and frost realistically have only one thing to "scheme" about, stealing the super Dragonballs..
Freeza is stupid enough to think he can pull this off, and Maybe he will this time around

Good thing there's a language barrier he can't overcome.

Anything over Freeza becoming a good guy. As long as we don't have an arc featuring both as main villains it's okay for me.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.
