Official On-Going DBZ 2015 Movie Thread: "Resurrection 'F'"

Wasn't he also planning to destroy earth before Goku even got there?

No, he was planning to kill all the Earthlings in the 3 hours it would take Goku to get there.

[JulieYBM]

Those arms definitely look like Yamamuro tried matching Toriyama's thinner arms. Hopefully we can get full scans of those models.

[sintzu]

Does Vegeta look a little small to all of you ?

[EA575]

Goku's hair finally looks the right size. It really bugged me that it's been shorter than normal recently.
Example:

[TheGmGoken]

All characters look small.

There will be news about Goten when there's news. Give it a rest about Goten already. It's getting really old. You like Goten? Great! But that doesn't mean you can always keep on posting about Goten like a broken record.

[Dyno]

And the whole V-Jump site got updated as well.

[Chuquita]

I think it's really cool how Yamamuro's trying to get closer to Toriyama's art style, even if a bit. :3

[EmmaWinters]

The synopsis was well-written & fun to read. You can tell that the chapter is very condensed, though. I'm not a fan of Shenlong suddenly not being able to restore people's bodies and only granting one wish, but oh well, I guess. Still excited to see the art, and for next month's chapter!

Spoiler:

Everyone draws differently. Hair will not always be consistent, whether it is within the movie or between the movie and the character models that the key animators are basing their drawings on.

[EmmaWinters]

I just went back a page and saw this illustration. Goku looks really good! That might be one of my favorite illustrations of him. Vegeta's legs are a bit too thin, though.

[Friezacooler]

You can't tell me it would not be possible for him to get wicked strong in a short amount of time after some hard-core training and if you add a possible 5th form?

On a side note, I hope we see his 100% 4th form again and maybe the 100% Deathball.

Yeahh logic Freeza can achieve what Vegetto can't in just 4 months with just regular ki aswell lol.

Yes I can. I'm ultra hype for the movie and want my favorite character to be in it. Goten never ever gets any news in any sorts of media (not even Heroes). I'll gladly keep on showing my support to Goten. Keeping hope alive. I already heard Trunks named mentioned (Future however) so there's a chance of Trunks and with Trunks there's Goten! I'm hype for either a new timeskip attire or just hype to see Goten and Trunks. Now if you got an issue with that then either don't read my post or ignore me until movie come out. Because the Goten hype train isn't stopping!

Here's the character drafts if you don't wanna go back a page.

[Bullza]

1. Wasn't he already powered up by the cybernetic enhancements? He may have found it to be all that was needed.

He was but why even take the chance? If Frieza could increase his strength that drastically then he could have easily have become several fold stronger than Goku just by training a few days.

2. He wasn't told Goku was stronger than Majin Buu the first time.

No but he'd just been pummelled by him and he must have known he'd have only grown even stronger since then.

3. There's nothing wrong with needing to be put in your place twice before finally having some sense knocked into you.

He wasn't just put in his place though. His life long fear came to fruition, he was beaten, chopped in half, caught in a planet's explosion and was left for dead. It makes no sense at all that a prodigy and a genius would decide to go to Earth where Goku would be to get revenge and not spend so much as a week to train to make absolutely sure that he would win.

[EmmaWinters]

You can't tell me it would not be possible for him to get wicked strong in a short amount of time after some hard-core training and if you add a possible 5th form?

It's lazy writing, and I'm not a fan of it, but it's completely consistent with what we have (and have *always* had) in the franchise. Of course, this assumes that there's nothing else to it, which would be a little surprising.

This is like farting on a bus and telling other people they don't have to smell it. Point being: it's rude to keep jumping into a thread with "I haven't read the last pages. Any more news about my favorite character?" Quit asking for the news to be handed to you. It's borderline spam. As is this post having to explain this to you.

So for all of you who still have questions about the manga, here. I present to you, courtesy of Gojiitaaf, the full and COMPLETE translation of the manga, which answers MANY questions about how Freeza knows about Majin Buu, how Freeza exactly was revived, and more:

Dragon Ball Z: Revival of 《F》 Chapter #1 ×FULL STORY×
The scene opens on a flashback to Namek, as Goku delivers his “I am the Super Saiyan” speech. Mecha Freeza winces in indignation and disgust. The scene changes to Trunks, who declares that Freeza has made a miscalculation… because there is another Super Saiyan standing in front of him. Freeza mutters “Super Saiyan” to himself, as he recalls being first rent in twain on Namek, then being sliced, diced, and incinerated on Earth.

Mecha Freeza awakens with a start, a look of fear quickly replaced by an expression of annoyance as he finds himself in Hell, in a pod suspended from a tree. All around him, cute critters make an incessant, infernal racket.

The scene shifts to outer space, where on one of Freeza’s ships, Sorbet receives a report that the rebellion by the native inhabitants of Planet 448 is too fierce to contain. He orders reinforcements, but is told that other forces are already occupied with fights on other planets, so only a few can be sent. Cursing through gritted teeth, he orders a retreat.

Sorbet stomps away and plops down into the commanders chair. He activates his scouter, asking if any other planets with Namekian survivors have been found. However, none have, in spite of their many spy cameras. In that case, says Sorbet, they’ll just have to go to Earth, after all. He orders Tagoma, who is standing nearby, to ready a ship for two: the two of them will be going together. Tagoma is surprised that Sorbet himself will be going. “Of course I am,” Sorbet retorts, “because Lord Freeza will be coming back to life!”

On Earth, Gohan and Videl are showing off a baby Pan to Piccolo, when suddenly the sky goes dark; Piccolo immediately surmises that Shenlong has been summoned. Elsewhere, Tenshinhan and Chiaotzu pause their farmwork, and Kuririn stops in the middle of writing up a punk on a motorcycle to wonder if Pilaf & co. are up to something.

Shenlong has indeed been summoned, and before him stand Sorbet, Tagoma, and the Pilaf trio (who are still children). Shenlong tells them to state their desire, for he will grant any wish. Pilaf invites Sorbet to do so, while Mai (under her breath) questions the wisdom of letting them have a wish with the Dragon Balls they worked so hard to collect. Pilaf shoots back that they have no choice, and to keep quiet.

Sorbet shouts for the Dragon to resurrect Lord Freeza, but Shenlong remains silent. Sorbet asks what’s wrong: he can grant any wish, right? The Dragon says that it is indeed possible, but that person’s mortal body was cut into pieces quite a long time ago, and cannot be brought back to life. It would be meaningless for his soul to return to it as-is.

Sorbet is briefly troubled by this news, but Tagoma suggests the recovery chambers currently used by their forces might be able to revive him. His concerns allayed, Sorbet shouts, “Hey! I don’t care if he’s in pieces, just revive him already!” The Dragon is displeased with his high-and-mighty demeanor, but since he has no choice, he does as he is bidden. Shenlong’s eyes glow….

Freeza suddenly vanishes from his pod in Hell… and reappears in chunks, which land before Sorbet. Where am I…? wonders Freeza, as Piccolo and Gohan sense a familiar Ki. Freeza briefly tries to pull himself together, before falling to pieces once more. These are… the senses of a living body… If nothing else, this isn’t Hell. The Pilaf trio recoil at the pieces of Freeza, then go into full-on freakout-mode when one of his eyes looks at them. Sorbet picks up a piece, and sneers. “Just as expected of Lord Freeza… with this life-force and the technology we have now, we can absolutely regenerate him!”

Their ship takes off, leaving Pilaf, Shuu and Mai in the dust. With the pieces of Freeza twitching in some sort of containment vessel in back, Tagoma airs his concerns about bringing back Freeza: he was a dictator, after all. Sorbet scoffs, and says they had no choice: as soon as Lord Freeza and the others were defeated, both the inner and outer ranks of his forces fell into a shambles. They have no choice but to let Freeza reorganize them. Tagoma wonders if he really possesses that sort of ability, prompting a shocked Sorbet to tell him to watch what he says. “That is the evil overlord Freeza! If his regeneration goes well, it will be all right! And besides, there’s no need to go pick an unnecessary fight against that Saiyan. After all, our goal is simply the rebuilding of his forces….” With that, the ship disappears into space.

Back on Earth, Gohan senses the Ki suddenly vanish, and wonders what that was all about. Piccolo has a bad feeling about this….

Off in space, in the confines of his recovery chamber, Freeza is dreaming… reliving a nightmare. I am… the mightiest in the universe…. That’s why… that’s why you have to… die by my hands…!!! Sorbet, Tagoma, and other soldiers are watching over Freeza’s restless slumber. Mine…

In dreams, Freeza relives his last moments on Namek, and his last desperate blast against a Super Saiyan Goku. With a shout of “You fool!!!” Freeza is obliterated once more…

Suddenly, Freeza awakens with a look of rage. The ship trembles, and all scouters break except for Tagoma’s and Sorbet’s. The glass of Freeza’s recovery chamber cracks, then shatters, spraying fluid on those present. Out steps Freeza in his first form, looking thoroughly unamused. He cracks his neck and sighs, surveying the room. Hesitantly, Sorbet addresses him: “W- welcome back, Lord Freeza!” Freeza eyes him. “Hm? And you are…?” Sorbet introduces himself as a former staff officer in the Third Sector. Freeza at last seems to recognize him, saying he does recall having seen him, just a bit. However, he seems amused that Sorbet is leading his forces in his place. But at any rate, he appears to have come back to life…! Sorbet explains that they have done so with a combination of the Dragon Balls and the latest-type recovery chamber; Freeza recognizes these as the mysterious orbs the Namekians had.

Tagoma interjects to say that he also had a hand in reviving Freeza, and Sorbet hastily explains that Tagoma is an excellent warrior, on-par with even the late Zarbon and Dodoria. Freeza congratulates him offhandedly, then points a finger… and kills one of his soldiers with a single energy blast. “My skills really have lapsed a bit,” he grouses, as the others look on in shock. “My revenge might take a bit of time.” Sorbet is taken aback. “R- revenge?”

“Of course,” says Freeza. “After all, I will not be satisfied until I have obliterated those two Super Saiyans who did this to me.” Tagoma protests: “This is merely a suggestion, but wouldn’t it be more prudent to simply ignore them? More importantly, like before…” At this, Freeza fires a second energy blast straight at Tagoma’s chest, sending him flying through the viewport and causing the compartment to rapidly depressurize. A second soldier is sucked into space while another hangs on to the hull for dear life, as Sorbet hastily orders the shields raised.

As the other soldiers recover their bearings and help one of their own back inside, Freeza lectures them about how his forces have become quite weak while he was away. How can they, Freeza’s mighty forces in the universe, do their work while trembling in fear of a paltry few Saiyans? Sorbet tries to warn him off, saying that the Saiyan named Son Goku became even more powerful than that. This, however, amuses Freeza, who claims it was entirely expected: “I merely have to become stronger than he is.” Sorbet goes on to say that he defeated even Majin Buu… though after that, they have no data. “Majin Buu…” muses Freeza, “Papa told me never to lay a hand on only two people: God of Destruction Beerus, and Majin Buu. That Majin Buu, eh?…” Sorbet nervously agrees. Freeza is not happy: “…That is beyond what I had imagined.”

“However,” smirks the overlord, “isn’t it interesting?” Sorbet asks what he means. “Since I was a born genius, I have never done such a thing as a training, nor have I ever had any need.” At this, he ascends into the air. “I wonder what will happen… if I train, and draw out all my latent potential…”

“You mean… you’ll be able to get stronger?” asks Sorbet hesitantly. “Well, of course,” replies Freeza, “according to my predictions, I will…. If I train in earnest for four months… I should be able to snuff out even that Saiyan in the blink of an eye…” Sorbet and the others are astounded: “What… that much stronger…?” Freeza just grins an evil grin.

You mean thanks to Kanzenshuu, Gojitaaaf steals material and claims he released it. Nice try.
