Don't see that happening. No way we're losing the U6 characters for good
Maybe what with all the universes at stake, killing off people by ring out is just a prelude to the eventual destruction they would face anyway. If U6 dont win their gone for good anyway.
I'm saying Goku is going to use his wish to bring back all the Universes that are destroyed, so I don't think your speculation is going to happen
IMO U6 has gotten way too much development to be discarded after the arc

Ok while I think someone will try to fix this buuuut just wishing it will just piss off one or both Zeno who will do it all over again.

You know as much as I would like Yamcha to have a place in this team I really don't like that Freeza is going to betray his own universe, like many said before: the dynamic of him having to cooperate with Goku and cia would be something entertaining to see. It seems like Toei/Toyotaro are playing safe there, sadly.

Are you kidding? Yamcha by the Android arc is possibly stronger to solo the Ginyu Force, there's no way Jaco is beyond that level, mate.

Did Goku mention he would only be around for 24 hours? Are we to assume that the deal isn't he win for us and the SDB will be yours so you can wish yourself back?

Frieza is Evil. It would be out of character for him to all of a sudden get chummy with the U7 fighter's. Did people really expect him to become another Piccolo or Vegeta? The thing that makes Frieza great is his role as a villian , I don't want to see a good Frieza I want to see the arrogant back stabbing villain that he has always been, that's what makes him one of the most iconic villains in the entire series. And to be honest Frieza deserves a chance at being a legitimate threat after the underwhelming ROF arc which kind of hurt the character.

I think Freeza told him to use the Earth Dragon Balls. Which is a great con for Goku considering Freeza doesn't know about the revival rule. The Earth DBs can't bring him back again

Anybody else thinks this is a way for Toriyama and TOEI to not have to come up with really strong fighters from each universe to fight. Like after designing 40 jobbers, he was like fuck how do I make this interesting? I know I'll bring back Frieza and make him fight for one of the other universes.

I'd hate it if this leak is real as it takes away what makes Frieza's return this time actually worth a damn.

Don't have to be chummy to work together.

Freeza betraying the team and going off to another universe is something I thought might happen, but I'm surprised it happened before the tournament even started. Wow.

Also you guys do realize Freeza's wish of being brought back to life would still be granted by the Super Dragonball's right? So Freeza likely doesn't care what universe he fights for if he gets his wish, and him betraying Goku and co. is perfectly in character.

Also my boy Yamcha might finally have a chance now.

Why are you putting this on the two T's? This is way too much of a big plot point to not be in Toriyama's outline.

I didn't want Freeza to return again at all, so my thought was more bargaining with myself on "well if this has to happen at least it's this instead of that".
It's an agree to disagree situation I guess.

If they had to bring back a former Z bad guy, I'd rather have had Cell. He's had less reappearances than Freeza has.

Freeza betraying the team is much better than him working alongside them. The last thing I wanted to see is Freeza treated like Vegeta or Piccolo.

I hope Freeza doesn't end up working for another universe. My interest in him in this arc was because he wouldn't be the antagonist this time.

This actually gives consequences for bringing Freeza back. I like it.

Sure, but don't tell me you expect this same events happen the same way in the manga, there will be likely some differences.

Here's what I think will happen, freeza is going to backstab universe 4 thus removing one universe from equation and increasing the chances of 7 winning

I wonder if this is all last minute changes by the writers from whatever Toriyama's original plan was.

First Buu gets replaced, then they choose Freeza, then Freeza leaves too? What the hell? And they keep throwing in all these Yamcha jokes? Something about this all feels fishy.

This...because IF Goku does wish all the contestants back to life, that would include Frieza. So actually if Frieza is smart he might want to go the other side.
