Well, it exists to truly crush the "hope" that Piccolo could beat Frieza, but that was basically accomplished when it was revealed that Frieza was holding back a substantial amount while fighting Piccolo in his second form.

[up][up]I mean Third Form, not second.

Frieza bulking up feels weird, though. His whole thing was being stronger than everyone else despite being smaller.

His third form was basically the Xenomorph from Alien and was only around for, like, a chapter and a half.

Third form Frieza is second form Cell (or I guess I should say, Second form Cell is Third form Frieza)

The one nobody gives a shit about, that never should have existed.

Though Second Form Cell has a better narrative excuse for it's existence. If it had looked better, it might have lasted longer (as in, Toriyama's former editor might not have nagged him to get to Cell's final form so fast).

I think that Freeza getting bigger still plays into the idea of the smaller thing being more powerful. Since his true form is much smaller, and infinitely more powerful than his monstrous forms.

Freeza getting bigger at first better sets up the affect of his final form being smaller, and actually helps establish how much scarier he is in the end despite not being so outworldly monsterous. It wouldn't have been as noticeable otherwise, since his first form is already small anyway.

Which is why Cold's sixth form in Multiverse is so fucking dumb.

I mean, he basically turns into Shiva/Vishnu with those multiple arms of his.

Masako might be over thinking some parts here, but then again, you never know. That last part could be possible. Maybe it wasn't planned at the time (since obviously, that was supposed to be the end) by since Toriyama actually planned things out a little this time (due to the outline that both Toyotaro and Toei are following) it might have been an idea that came to him whilst he was writing it.

The color and shape of this one small piece of fabric on the Grand Priest's shirt is an essential indicator of his role in the story.

Yeah. I did say he was overthinking it a little.

This is Toriyama we're talking about. He can plan ahead I believe, but in most cases, things come in and out of the story based entirely on his moods or how much effort it takes to keep it.

So, Christopher Sabat is a troll, apparently.

I was actually at that panel, but I've been waiting for video of it to appear.

(If this isn't appropriate content for this thread, let me know.)

Basically, the guy asked Sabat to do the voice mail message on his cellphone in Vegeta's voice, and he had fun with it.

Nah, actually, Sabat asked him for his phone, the guy didn't make a request.

He was borrowing the phones of everyone who asked a question, doing prank calls, posting on snapchat, recording silly messages... it was pretty funny.

Since they reused Kai music for Vegito's appearance, do you think they'll bring back Lord Frieza's theme music too?

Eriorguez Since: Jun, 2009
#58896: Jun 17th 2017 at 4:18:29 AM

Pre-Buu Kai music is sorta iffy, due to plagiarisms and the like. Freeza already has a Super theme, and when in doubt they can always throw Maximum The Hormone in.

Ya know, it really is a shame. While it was all plagiarized, the old Kai soundtrack was pretty amazing and each song fit the scenes really really and helped to amplify them.

Noticed how Mosco and Ramoosh are the only Go Ds outright punching the screen instead of gathering energy in their hands.

Preliminary spoilers for Super Ch. 25 are out.

Goku fights Merged Zamasu for a while, actually knows Beerus' "Hakai" technique now and manage to disintegrate a chunk of Zamasu' body. However, Zamasu then reforms, only for Trunks to cut him in half with his sword. However, that screws everything up, as Zamasu's split body regenerates into two separate Merged Zamasu's, and Zamasu starts cutting himself to multiply multiple times after knocking out Trunks and nearly choking Goku to death. Vegeta jumps into the fight after, and that's all I got now.
