Dragon Ball Super Chapter 11 »

"Frost's True Colors" is the tenth chapter of the Dragon Ball Super manga series written and illustrated by Toyotarō, with supervision and guidance from original Dragon Ball author Akira Toriyama. It was first published in Japan in the May 2016 issue of Shueisha's V-Jump, with a sale date of 19 March 2016.

Summary

With both Goku and Frost having transformed, the fight can truly begin. Frost rushes in, though Goku confidently swipes away all incoming physical and ki-based attacks. Smirking, Goku grabs Frost's wrists and interrupts his attack sequence, and proceeds to kick him up into the air. Frost rebounds and goes at it again as Champa watches on, seemingly annoyed. Frost attempts to push Goku back with a kiai blast, but Goku is able to withstand it and return the favor in kind.

Frost suddenly perks up and announces that Goku has far surpassed his expectations, but there is no way he will lose the fight. Frost keeps rushing back in, but Goku continues to effortlessly knock him aside, until one punch — which otherwise appears no different from the others — changes Goku's face entirely and knocks him out of the ring.

Goku has lost and Frost has won the match! Goku is not quite sure what happened, and while everyone is surprised and impressed in their own way, Jaco seems to be the only one critically assessing the situation.

Piccolo is up next, and while Goku delivers the bad information that he does not stand a chance against Frost, perhaps he can at least wear Frost down before Vegeta enters the ring.

Piccolo dashes around to avoid all of Frost's attacks as everyone looks on, slightly impressed. Piccolo takes off his weighted clothing and attacks with outstretched arms. With both of them burning through their stamina, Frost makes the decision to end the match. Despite Piccolo catching it, a single punch from Frost is once again all it takes to knock his opponent out of the ring.

With Piccolo's loss, this leaves Vegeta to fight next. As he prepares to enter the ring, however, Jaco calls out an objection: Frost is using a concealed needle-like weapon! Champa threatens to rain vengeance upon Jaco if he is wrong, but Beerus demands they proceed with the investigation. The tournament referee proceeds to examine Frost's arm, and upon finding a tiny hole, is pricked and falls over. Frost attempts to explain that it is a natural part of his body, but the referee disagrees and notes signs of bodily modification. Frost is disqualified!

Champa is furious with Frost, who just wanted to end the matches as quickly as possible. Vegeta pipes in and says there is no need to disqualify Frost: he will personally take him out.

Continuity

In this chapter, Vegeta states that Goku might have lost because he took too many blows to the head. In the anime, however, Piccolo is the one saying it.
In the manga, Vegeta is concerned about Frost’s unknown ability that took down both Goku and Piccolo. In the anime, however, he finds it strange that Goku could have lost from such a weak attack and suspects that there is some kind of foul play involved.
In the anime, before declaring foul play from Frost, Jaco moves from the spectator seats to the contestant seats in order to have a closer look. In this chapter, however, he never moves from his initial place (though this might be because the spectators and the contestants are sitting in the same area in the manga).
In the anime, Piccolo spends a considerable amount of time charging up his Makankōsappō, whereas he never even uses the technique in this chapter.
Continuing on from the extra development Frost had in Episode 33 when compared to the manga, in Episode 34 we are shown Frost’s true nature: all the wars he helped stop were actually started by himself in order to then buy the war-ravaged lands at a lower cost and make a huge profit out of the redevelopment and reconstruction efforts (making him not all that different from his Universe 7 counterpart). In fact, Vados knew about this all along, but went ahead with recruiting him anyway since Champa told her to recruit people that would win no matter what.

Notes

This chapter's official release came approximately two weeks after the corresponding TV series episode; furthermore, the story content of the chapter ends in the exact same place as that particular TV episode. For the first time in this story arc, no truly new revelations were divulged via the manga’s content ahead of the TV series. This situation will continue throughout the rest of the Dragon Ball Super TV series's broadcast, which, from this point onwards, will always be ahead of the manga's content.
