Honestly, Frieza jumping ship to U4 just so he could dick over the heroes I imagine would exactly be in character for him. And the fact that the Grand Priest would even ALLOW that proves my theory that the guy is actually evil.

I'm inclined to think that the Grand Priest would think it's amusing, and decide, "Why not? Let's allow it and see what FUN it causes."

This entire thing is just a fun way for the Omni-kings to decide which universe they're no going to destroy anyway. Might as well let them mix things up.

Wait a minute who gave him enough free will to be able to do this in the first place?

They should have had something to wrangle him in case he pulled shit like this.

Someone on 4chan theorized that Frieza is actually helping Universe 7 by screwing things at Universe 4

Or it could come down to a catch like Freeza can help any universe he likes, but at the end of the tournament he still counts as being from Universe 7.

That actually might make some sense. He defects so he can kill people and still get revived when Universe 4 is disqualified.

He gets to screw over the cast and gets another universe to try and rule. Perfect for him.

I still can't believe he would have enough freedom of movement to be able to this.

If Suicide Squad has taught me anything, its better to control a villain with threats then with a favor or a reward.

Another detail from those episode leaks people seem to be glossing over: participants who fall off the edge of the ring don't simply fall endlessly through a void, the implication (as far as this translation goes) is that they cease existing then and there. What the HECK Grand Priest?

The no killing rule is actually because murder isn't hardcore enough. You need to throw your opponent into a void that eradicates them entirely, body and soul.

[up][up]If the Zen'Os truly were to represent the audience, there could be a side thing with the two little guys arguing with each other over allowing that stipulation, with one Zen'O believing it will add an extra layer of excitement while the other is still unsure and worried about some of the fighters suffering permadeath.

It might not even be Evil per se, just a case of an impossibly powerful being not understanding the implications of ceasing to exist being a big deal.

Nah, I think the Grand Priest is actively malicious.

So he'll probably turn out to be a great guy. Toriyama twist.
