When a golden Ssj beat Freeza we got golden Freeza so now that he was defeated by a Blue one will we get Blue Freeza ?

That's classic Dragon Ball madness.
I hadn't even thought of it like that, honestly. But it' sounds pretty funny now that I think about it.

Has anyone else thought that Freeza could be back for a role larger than just entering the Tournament of Power? What if he comes up with a plan to invade one of the other universes at the end, causing mayham and destruction in it.

Or even more so, upon seeing Cabba and the other Saiyans, Freeza escapes to Universe 6 and tries to wipe out all the Saiyans there and we get an arc of Frost (who redeemed himself), Cabba, Kale, Caulifla and Vegeta and Goku stoping Freeza and his newly built empire.

He's a complete joke now so they might as well. :lol:

Having Freeza as a untrustworthy alley is cool, but I felt like his time is done. It does make me feel kinda mad that they are having Buu fall asleep again.

That's probably what's actually going to happen but that sounds even worse to me. I just want the motherfucker to stay dead.

Having Freeza in a different role than his usual "kill all the monkeys" one could be fun, it could also go terribly though. I'll just wait and watch how things unfold (crazy aproach within this fanbase lol)

Also, how is Goku going to keep the lie about the prize? "yeah, it's a friendly tournament and the winner gets a million zeni, anyway, here is the 10th member of the team, Freeza". The other characters can't be that stupid to not think something is weird, can they?

Dragon Ball is the story of Son Goku...nobody else needs spotlight. You're not doing this right now, but I'm always confused when people mockingly call Super "The Goku Show".
How about no? I mean GT was also called "Goku Time" and that was also a bad thing. Other characters need spotlight. To say otherwise is absolutely insane.
Obviously it is not going to just be Goku alone on screen, but just because a character exists in Dragon Ball, that doesn't mean they deserve any certain amount of screen time. Goku goes on his adventures, and anyone that Toriyama/Toei feels like drawing in gets to be a part of it. To say otherwise is absolutely naive...?

Ya know RF kinda stood out as a story that didn't really seem consequential to the overall series but this might change that.

Ya know I'd go about this argument for the billionth time, but it's not very relevant anymore now that other characters will seemingly be getting spotlight, and I would much rather be discussing this overused Frieza asshole right now.

I think one thing they can do to make this better is have Freeza and the heroes' reaction be like what the fans are saying.

I'm still not 100% convinced this isn't a gag. Maybe Vegeta will get the idea to drag him into the time chamber. I mean, Vegeta's smart, right? :/
I mean...yeah, maybe. But from the episode titles, it seems Vegeta goes into the RoSaT before Goku realizes Boo is asleep. Goku probably isn't clever enough outside of battle to realize this, Mr. Satan doesn't know about the RoSaT, and Gohan is busy training with Piccolo.

I think you mean 4th... And no 17 isn't stronger than golden Frieza. I don't think Gohan will surpass Golden Frieza either. In the next episode it looks like he is fighting ssj2 Goku.

One rather big problem with Buu and the Time Chamber idea...Buu is officially stated be out for 2 months. Thats about what 4 hours in the time chamber at most right?

The tournament is about to start, they dont even have that much time to spare.

Never really understood the want for other characters to "shine" with this series. Like, I get it. People are tired of Goku, but he IS the main focus of the story whether anyone likes it or not, Lol.

I mean, plenty of times in the series have we seen others have their time to shine with Goku not in the arcs.

Goku dead training with Kaiosama during the Saiyan Arc.

Goku hospitalized and then in space for much of the Namek/Freeza Arc.

Goku in a coma for everything in the Androids arc up until Cell. Then it's all Gohan anyway.

Goku trying to stay dead in the Boo Arc.

The entire series has revolved around their one, critical character not being there for, I would say 50% of it, then showing up to save the day. Hell, this even happened in the BoG Arc and the Universe 6 Arc.

You're certainly entitled not to enjoy it, though, for sure. I just tend to scratch my head when people say too much Goku is bad for the show. Half of the time he isn't even involved.

Or he could just drag Freeza there instead. Freeza can be Vegeta's Tagoma.
