I'm glad the villain halos are back. Remember when GT got rid of those?

I wonder if Freeza will have time to train on his stamina issue? Maybe chuck him in the RoSaT even for like an hour?

The stamina issue is probably why he ends up losing in a match in the tournament.

Also will a 'dead' person even be able to compete and they will know because of the halo. Wouldn't the other Universes say that Universe 7 is cheating?

I'm sure Vegeta will love being stuck with Frieza. Maybe they'll both come out with beards again. :lol:

This is pretty cool and has so much potential for character interaction. I actually had Kuriza on my fantasy U7 team, but hey, close enough, right?

He most likely won't have enough time to get the stamina sorted out, he will do just fine though, he is way too good for the same thing to affect him twice

You know I'm accepting better this Freeza thing now, but hope he's not killed off after the tournament it would be another waste

If he's killed off now, he will be gone for good since Freeza is still dead. He just has a 24 hour pass.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

If they intend to keep EoZ status quo they won't be able to time skip with Freeza as part of the main cast. He'll have to either be sent back to hell or run away and go into hiding in a way where Beerus can't get to him.

How does someone like Freeza get a halo ? if anything he should have horns and a red tail.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

If they choose to go that route they could just have him be somewhere else during the tournament. Tien and Chiaotzu aren't there either, or the Pilaf gang (for obvious reasons). Once Super makes it to EoZ I expect to see a new shot of teenage Mai in the stands cheering for Trunks. :lol:

Would Freeza even need to train the stamina issue away? Or would it play out more like Goku's Super Saiyan 3, where him being dead greatly reduces the strain that the form has on him? On the flipside of that, it might also reduce his time.

Would make for a funny gag if going Golden by itself used up his entire day. :lol:

I'm not that knowledgeable on the subject, but I think renaissance painters (or maybe the middle ages?) came up with the idea of painting halos around otherworldly saintly subjects. I think the original reference was a generic glowing of light (like a ki aura) as opposed to a fixed ring shape. :?:

Either way, I think Freeza's (and all the dead bad guys with halos) a case of the "equating nuns to miko" trope. Someone either didn't care to research or just thought it looked cool.

It doesn't bother me because I'm so used to seeing it from Z and GT anime filler.

What a dick move. Soon the Opening, Eyectaches and the Ending. Freeza may even get his own hype video.
Buu fans have all the right to be mad. Now hoping for the best.

The fact Roshi is still there is the biggest joke though.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Oh well, I wish Roshi also gets replaced but he is a Toriyama character, meaning he wont go away.

Tenshinhan should leave, but he might get redeemed in tonights episode. The fact Roshi might be bumped to close to top tier sickens me.
