The only silver lining I see from Frieza being resurrected to be on the Universe 7 team is if he's completely dicked over either during, after, or, preferably, before the tournament for maximum hilarity. If its during, I definitely want to see all of U11 dog piling on Frieza and kicking the ever loving shit outta him, and Frost having a legitimate Heel–Face Turn after seeing how much of a Card-Carrying Villain he could have turned out to be.

Repetition is only really effective in Japanese comedy like Manzai if it is used in a short period so the audience doesn't for get that it is a running joke.

We have had 40 episodes in between and a break in the gag since Buu did fight.

Meh, could be interesting to see. Poor Yamcha tho. And wasted opportunity with Cell not being bought into the mix. Seeing 17 and 17 be utterly uncomfortable with him around, or Freeza offended as fuck by his cells being mixed with Saiyan and Namekian ones, would be quite entertaining.

I still really REALLY hope it is just a fakeout and used to explain why Fat Buu is fat in the opening instead of the muscle like design seen last time he appeared.

Apparently, Toei doesn't want to bring Cell back because they're too lazy to draw him: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2016-03-01/interview-the-past-present-and-future-of-dragon-ball/.99269

4x[up] Yamcha already set himself up for failure, but this is just taking it to the next level. Goku: Oh no, it's the eleventh hour and we don't have a full team! Gotta find someone else immediately! /looks at Yamcha/ I know! Frieza!

Is not only the animators, Toriyama also hates to draw Cell. He regrets making his design so complex with those spots.

To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back.

So prediction time I can see Freeza being added to be the "fall guy" and ends up being the one who breaks the "No Killing" rule.

But yeah, poor Yamcha.

pparently, Toei doesn't want to bring Cell back because they're too lazy to draw him:

Wow.

Why did you decide to bring Frieza back to life in Dragon Ball Resurrection ‘F’?

Tadayoshi Yamamuro: It was an idea from Akira Toriyama. He was at a concert for the Japanese group Maximum The Hormone when they started playing the song ‘F’, which is all about Frieza. That was when he had the idea to resurrect Frieza in the new movie. Of course, this song is also played in the movie!

Can we expect a Dragon Ball Resurrection ‘C’ movie, since Cell is the next Dragon Ball villain?

Yamamuro: (laughs) As an animator, I would not like that, since Cell's complicated design is really hard to draw. When he is standing still, it doesn't matter, but when he is moving, because of all the spots on his body, it takes so long to draw him every time. You have to calculate how he's going to move perfectly, and then you have to check and recheck the result every time. That's so much work!

Wouldn't the obvious answer to be to give Cell a transformation without spots?

I don't think they don't want to put in the effort cause Cell would have appear in his spotted form first for a while.

Yamcha for Buu's spot. He wins the Tournament of Power single-handedly after Goku and the rest are defeated and gets rewarded with personal training from the Grand Priest. [tup]

I mean, if your thing is getting a through back to older days and humans finally being usefully I don't see why you wouldn't want Yamcha. But, they each have their place, and I guess that's his.

Just like Tien's getting to be made out to be more competent than he really is. Chiaotzu's (and Yajirobe's) is being ignored, and Krillin's is holding out hope that he'll actually be able to step up. Super only seems interesting in reinforcing a couple of these.

I'm kind of hoping that it's just a one or two part gag episode. Honestly.

Right now I can't even see Freiza agreeing. He's in Hell. His existence (from his perspective at least) is a ceaseless torture. So he gets out for 24 hours? So what. I think in his position he'd say 'fuck the universe' to spite everyone else.

Even in the best case scenario where he competes and somehow ends up being top fighter and gets a wish on the Super Dragon Balls. So he wishes himself back to life. Now what? He's got at least two people fully capable of killing him now breathing down his neck.

Oh, that last part would be easy. He just goes off, trains for four more months, and now he's stronger than Zenou.

It'd be funny if he does agree, but Goku forgets to tell him about the no-kill rule, and just genocides half of the competition. "Oh I wasn't supposed to do that?"

Remember when I said that Universal Japan was going to re-release the Goku vs Frieza 4D movie this summer?

I was wrong, they're actually making a NEW 4D Dragon Ball movie attraction... SSJB Goku vs BROLY GOD!

Yeah, Broly got ANOTHER new form. It looks like LSSJ with SSJ5 hair.
