I would
really think twice before Google Translating things, people. For serious. Bad, bad, bad idea.
The rumors that sprout from it will be too much to control!

I do think it is funny that this theory was based on Kuririn's haircut.
I can only speak for myself, but it was most certainly not based on Kuririn's haircut.

It's really disappointing if Freeza gains so much power after a month or year's worth of training. If he had such potential, he could have trained for years back when he was alive and killed Beerus and Whis.

He built one in the Pilaf Arc, why couldn't he do it again? I mean, he collected them prior to BOG to end up as kids, so he has some means of tracking them all down.

He was doing it in the first saga.

Don't forget status. He and Sorbet could have taken over their positions, since the previous two are now dead.
Indeed. Though the raw translation only mentions Tagoma. XD I think Sorbet is more a "medical" person. But we'll see.

But...but...NEW INFO. It must be grabbed, even if it's not entirely accurate. Such is the draw of new material.

He must have one because they obtained them before to wish for youth.

Hmm, you'd think that seeing Baby Pan would also mean that Bulma is pregnant with Bra, but
from the looks of Toriyama's sketch, she sure as hell
ain't.

I think when Pilaf got his wish prior to Battle of Gods, the Dragon Balls were already reunited after the last wish in Buu Saga. Isn't Bulma's responsibility to keep them safe?

You're assuming that there's not gonna be a timeskip between this manga and the movie. Freeza was just revived, he needs time to train and gain power.

Agreed with MagicBox.
I can't speak for others; but the main reason I leaned towards "altered Uni 7" was the absence on the poster of major fighter characters who were introduced after the Freeza arc. 18, Trunks, Goten, Videl, Buu, and (even) Mr. Satan while including (replacing?) them with characters who had more predominance in earlier arcs,

The artwork looks great for the most part. Very very excited to read this in full.

So based on the fact that in these pictures, and that Gohan's in a different outfit, maybe he really can't find his gi? And is forced to where the green track suit after all.

Haha. You may be right. Pan doesn't look very old from the picture; by anime standards, she could pass for a newborn, and in that case, Bra may not even be concieved yet.
Oh, and thank goodness that Trunks killing Frieza was alluded to in the first bit of the summary. I feel like I can breathe a little sigh of relief now...

It was stated that he can't find his dogi and would be wearing the tracksuit, so why would you be expecting anything else?

As soon as I saw there were so many new pages since this morning I knew there was something new.
Can't wait for the rest of that manga to come out.

V-Jump 2015 April issue
Special 3-part mini-series! Out before the movie’s debut, it’s the much-anticipated fastest comicalization in the world!
Manga by “Toyotaro”
Starts with flashbacks to Freeza getting beaten by Super Saiyan Goku and Trunks
With Freeza down, his army is in shambles. In order to reorganize, Sorbet (former staff officer of the third stellar region) took control of the army for a while. He heads for Earth together with Tagoma, a warrior on par with the likes of Zarbon and Dodoria.
They coerce (?) the dragon balls from Pilaf and co., summon Shenlong, and wish to revive Freeza.
Freeza: “I won’t be satisfied until I’ve killed the two Super Saiyans who did this to me”
Tagoma says something he shouldn’t, and gets killed for it.
Sorbet: “Son Goku has become strong enough to defeat Majin Boo”
Freeza: “That’s more than I imagined. But I’m a prodigy, so if I bring out all of my dormant power through training, I’ll crush even the Saiyans in the blink of an eye.”
The evilest revenge begins. End of part one.

The fact that Trunks seems to be mentioned does also give me a bit of hope on the Goten/Trunks front, as maybe we really will get a scene of Freeza 'recognizing' Trunks.
