Freeza, his species, and his transformations.
Re: Freeza, his species, and his transformations.
I guess you could just hand-wave it as some sort of space-optimal transformation, and visually there is just not much difference.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

They are not "real" though, they are just character avatars in a card game, as we see in DBH: Victory Mission.Saiga wrote:In Heroes, there are 3 player avatar's from Freeza's "race". They don't transform either.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

You mean, storyline wise, they're still just avatars?DBZGTKOSDH wrote:They are not "real" though, they are just character avatars in a card game, as we see in DBH: Victory Mission.Saiga wrote:In Heroes, there are 3 player avatar's from Freeza's "race". They don't transform either.

I think Freeza and his species are some sort of dinosaur.

Yep. For example, Froze (the Hero Avatar of Freeza Clan) is a human boy playing the card game, and the Freeza Clan version of him is the boy inside the game.Saiga wrote:You mean, storyline wise, they're still just avatars?

Re: Freeza, his species, and his transformations.
There is an uncanny trait both Burisu and Freeza possess, that I can't put my finger on. They fight very similar and both have unusually high power gaps for their opponents, and each able to conceal their true 100% maximum.
