'''Even worse:''' You know that bit about how Future Trunks would be good for the Tournament of Power? The heroes would barely manage to muster up a roster of ten guys powerful and/or skilled enough to potentially be more than cannon fodder in the tournament, half of whom got much stronger than previously thought possible through training on the side. And then Buu starts taking his two-month nap ''the night before the tournament'', forcing them to scramble for a new tenth guy. And then Beerus makes a throwaway remark about the heroes being at fault for destroying Frieza and his men, within earshot of [[IdiotHero Goku]]. So because they didn't keep Trunks and Mai around with some hope of their actual home being restored, the heroes find themselves so hard up for a teammate that Goku sees fit [[GodzillaThreshold to resurrect the evilest bastard in all of time and space]]. [[OhCrap Who spent so much time in Hell intensely focusing on how he would kill Goku that his stamina control weakness has been done away with entirely]]. [[ManipulativeBastard And who's wasted no time scheming out how to use the tournament to manipulate the very gods of the multiverse for his own gain]]. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Just]]... ''[[ForWantOfANail that one decision]]... ''[[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom could've spared so much trouble]]...

The fact that DBZ!Frieza could have surpassed a Super Saiyan with only a bit of training was something he could only have known in hindsight prior to Namek.


** This plot point also retroactively gives Frieza one. The event that kicks off the series is when Frieza decides that the Super Saiyan prophesied in legend could potentially be a threat to his power.\\
'''You'd expect:''' Frieza to get off his butt and train. The Saiyans are pretty content with their employment for now, and if four months could put him within Super Saiyan God range, even a week of workout could surely put him well past any Super Saiyan.\\
'''Instead:''' Frieza commits genocide on the Saiyans. Now, he's lost an army of millions, any survivors now have every reason to want him dead, and if a Super Saiyan does show up, they're still strong enough to kick his ass.

The event that kicks off the series is when Frieza decides Despite his (not unjustified) fears that the Super Saiyan prophesied in legend could potentially be a threat to his power.power, it's later established that a mere four months of training could put him well beyond an ordinary Super Saiyan.\\
'''You'd expect:''' Expect:''' Frieza to get off his butt and train. The Saiyans are pretty content with their employment for now, train following his defeat on Namek and if four months could put subsequent cyberization. Maybe his upgrades would give him within Super Saiyan God range, even a week more of workout could surely put him well past any Super Saiyan.an advantage than he had on Namek, but a little bit of training wouldn't hurt, especially since there's a year and a half timeskip between the Namek and Android sagas.\\
'''Instead:''' He just settles for his cybernetic upgrades before heading to Earth to take his revenge on Goku. Another Super Saiyan's there, and he hands Frieza commits genocide on the Saiyans. Now, he's lost an army of millions, any survivors now have every reason to want him dead, and if a Super Saiyan does show up, they're still strong enough to kick his ass.robotic backside.

'''Or Better Yet:''' With 19 fighters and 4 Universes remaining, 13 minutes left, and neither Damon and Gamisalas having not been revealed to the other Universes' fighters, Universe 4 best course of action would have been to attempt a VictoryByEndurance, as it's the universe with the most fighters remaining at the end of the time limit will win the Tournament of Power. Undoubtedly, Universe 3 and Universe 11 will attempt to attack Universe 7 since they have the most fighters at this point. Chances are Universe 7, 3, and 11 will have lost more fighters in their battles and a possible
Universe or 2 being erased. All the remaining Universe 4 fighters would have to do is stay hidden. Damon, Gamisalas, and Shantza's tricks only work if their opponents don't have an understanding of their gimmicks. The best time for the Universe 4 fighters to make their move is near the very end of the time limit and only if another team looks like they are going to have more than 3 fighters left.\\
