That's not a bad thing. The quicker the better if you ask me. Super needs to move on to more original stuff soon.

It wouldn't be a bad thing if this was the BoG arc, the F arc needs to be expanded on, not cut down in size.

Doctor. wrote:Yes, but just because Jaco's arrival is in episode 20, it doesn't mean that he's coming to warn Bulma about Freeza. Things have already been switched around from the film (cop Kuririn appeared on episode 17, and in the film he only appears when Freeza's arriving).
That's non important though. Besides the cop scene can still happen and it also explains how Krillin knew those robbers. Jaco arriving to tell Bulma about Freeza was significantly key to the film it made his appearance feel less shoehorned and explains why he visited after so long. Besides if Jaco doesn't warn them then who does?

I'm thinking it's official, because of the summary we get some times ago.
So, can anyone translate the thing we get on episode 22 ? Some talks about Ginyu or whatever, just want to clarify things for a french Dragon Ball community !

Assuming these titles are real and the Golden Freeza arc ends at Episode #26 the story doesn't seem to be moving very fast at all. There will probably be a general episode that focuses on fighting the one thousand soldiers, an episode for Piccolo and Piccolo versus Shisami, an episode for Gohan versus First Form Freeza, an episode for normal Gokuu versus Fourth Form Freeza. Gokuu versus Golden Freeza could easily last three or four episodes given what happened with Gokuu versus Beers.

Yeah, but assuming those are real, Gohan vs Freeza is already episode #21. Unless they switch the order around, that means the 1000 soldier fight, and Piccolo vs Shisami will be incredibly rushed.

It's Freeza's army who is taking on Gohan on episode 21.
But my question is : Can anyone translate the summary / episode title of episode 22 ? Please, i'm just really curious 'bout it !

If real they might just be changing the events of the F story heavily. As pointed out above me it is Freeza's army attacking Gohan, not Freeza, so maybe he sends out his army to Satan City and they find Gohan in at home or something and the fight starts there before moving out of the city.

The supposed title of Episode #21 is "The Beginning of Revenge! The Vengeful Freeza Army Attack Gohan!" Gohan is fighting Freeza's army, not Freeza himself. Assuming the battle is different this time around then perhaps Freeza's army will be attacking multiple places at once, like Gohan's place of work.

That would only work if Jaco doesn't warn them. Freeza arrives on Earth no-one is there to meet him so goes in search of Goku and finds Gohan instead and then we go from there. But Jaco does warn them going by these episode titles so that means they'll all be ready for Freeza's arrival like the movie. So either these are fake or the episode title is misleading and the army attack Gohan first in ground zero and then they slowly engage in battle with the others.

Just because Jaco warns them it doesn't mean they have to respond immediately. Freeza lands and his men quickly spread out. Gohan doesn't even have time to find his dougi, let alone show up at the ship in time to box in Freeza's men.

Well it doesn't but it'd be pretty silly if they didn't. Freeza has come back to life strong as ever with 1000 foot soldiers no less that would warrant a "respond immediately". Besides Freeza would likely wait for Goku and co to come to him so he'll probably destroy nearby cities to get attention so it's pretty unlikely that the army will be on hunt for them immediately so that still gives the Z fighters and Gohan enough time to get ready.

Well, considering that DBS is following the anime content, like Gregory and Goku being the strongest in the universe (Anime Boo Arc only), so yes... They could probably show the anime Hell instead of RoF Hell or... They can explain that the Hell has different sectors in the Other World, I guess...

I don't think so, I think Hell will be more or less the same as it was in the movie. I don't think Gregory being in really means anything other than they felt like putting him in the series.

I've thought about this myself. In anime Hell Freeza also was back to his original body and didn't have his cyborg parts. I wonder how they'll handle it.

To me, Episode 22 souns like Tagoma has an ability similar to Captains Ginyuu and will take over Gohans body?

It would make the Freeza "Elite" Corps look more threatening.

Sorbet with his Haxx Ring and Tagoma inside Gohans body he would still be the strongest being on Earth with Goku and Vegeta away.

This is my take on the latest news. These title look like a fanart drawn by someone and seem very rushed and fake. Especially episode 22, ugh. Also wtf happened to Champa and vados?.I wont believe a thing until I see Kanzenshuu staff report on it.

Champa and Vados likely won't be involved that much to warrant a mention in the episode titles. Probably little teases at the end of each episode.

Tagoma was killed by Freeza in the movie, wonder why there deciding to keep him aound this time (If they are.). And I agree this saga needed to be fleshed out more not raced through, but maybe they heard complaints and decided they do need to get to the new material.

After FnF is over, Toei should animate the Jaco Manga as filler before heading to the Champa Arc IMO.
