I'm genuinely excited for Battle!Pooh. XD

He sure could go for a small smackeral.
When he gets done with you you'll be seeing Heffalumps and Woozels.
He's gonna punch you up where the air is clear, up in the atmosphere.

Just as long as he doesn't get himself stuck in your door. :3


I enjoyed Winnie the Pooh when I was a little kid. :3

to be honest , champa and vados are excused becouse they are twins.

and i dont think frieza's race got ppl that have completly diffrent designes, assuming this new guy is from frieza's race in U6.

look at freeza without the armor.
alien races allways are potrayed like that they look all similar to each other unlike the human race.
Hardly. Metallic form for Cooler was hugely distinctive because it covered his entire body.
I'm talking about the normal one.
and the metallic cooler was the same just....metallic.

Whis may have been busy with something, maybe training Piccolo, or maybe years in the RoSaT are better than 5 days with Whis. It's not really a big issue imo, we don't even know if that scene's gonna be in the anime or not now that they introduced "that place" (which I'm almost certain of that Toyotaro did not know existed, and was something Toei created).

they were sparring , so them choosing to make the training longer makes sense.

and not everything is a plot hole becouse you dont think it makes sense.

Are Jaco and Bulma with the others going to the tournament, or are they roaming U7 while this is going on? If so, we may have the potential of 3 separate plot lines, something we haven't seen since the Freeza arc. This assuming, of course, that Gohan will do anything.

The twins thing is little more than a convenient reason to half-ass those designs after the fact. As for Freeza's race, Xenoverse had a bunch of cool permutations for their appearances. Making this guy basically first form Freeza again is lazy and just further proves that F has no reason to exist.

So Cooler's 4th form? Ye that wasn't so great either, not saying it was. Still more distinct from Freeza's 4th form than what we're seeing now versus Freeza's 1st form.

And Champa is Beerus, just fat. It may be easy or "cheap" way to make different design but yes, it is effective when it changes the color/shape of the character's entire appearance.

They are both attending, even the King of Universe (Jaco's boss) is there. Everyone, I mean everyone is there. Except Gohan.

The Boo arc already ignored the RoSaT's rules by having 4 people inside at the same time, so this isn't something new :lol: Anyway, like I said, Vegeta can bust his way open like SS3 Gotenks and Super Boo did.

Mr. Popo only said the door would close behind you, if you stay for more than 2 years, not that the room wouldn't allow you in.

Don't forget Whis' space wasn't introduced in the manga. For all we know, the anime could use it instead, once it gets there.

Goku had a year left and 4 people entered the ROSAT before so its probably only keeping the door open for Goku's sake since he's still obeying the rules even if Vegeta isn't.

No. It is, this is a plot hole just as Piccolo in RoSaT again in the Boo Arc. We had enough about RoSaT, I though that with Whis training, even the place he send them in recent episodes would be better utilized in the series.

Oh, another possible reason for the use of RoSaT is Whis being busy, maybe taking Beerus after the 5th guy.

We really can't forget the manga is different, it leaves some things out, skips others and its narrative is just enough to make sense. Let's wait for the anime and see.

F realy was just a waste of time i agree.

Why does it matter? Both the most used design of 1st form Freeza is WITH the armor, so that's the main design and what audience sees him most as, along with 4th form. And the U6 guy has similar armor so that makes the lack of difference even worse. The U6 Saiyan at least has different armor design
Tsufuru wrote: F realy was just a waste of time i agree.
On one hand, although in the context of Freeza's race becoming a major "player' in DB universe again with this new U6 fighter, perhaps it works better that they first brought original Freeza back. Its been so long and that 'race' has been long considered to be way behind in terms of power. Freeza training and all may work in favour here

This new fighter probably has a whole history to him so a member of Freeza's race who's God tier would work a lot better than screwing over Freeza's entire paranoia over, replacing it with him lazy to make those two push-ups that would make him SPC tier and making the Super Saiyan Legend a total none issue. Then there's the four month thing but regardless, F didn't need to exist and this new guy cements that further.
