Basically, the point of the scene was Freeza deciding which side he should backstab and which side he should stay with for now. Gohan passed the test and Frost didn't.

Well, no, there's a potential reason to betray his team but not this early. The time to do it would be when it's just him and a few other teammates left and he's positive he can beat whoever is left on his own. That way he's guaranteed the wish assuming the best warrior has to survive to the end.

But in that case you definitely wouldn't want to advertise that you are not trustworthy.

^ That makes no sense.

Yeah I feel like the 'Freeza is evil' point has been made a beyond necessary number of times. I mean he was bummed he wasn't allowed to kill people and has tortured multiple opponents. And that's just in the little time he has been not in Hell.

I think Freeza and Frost (and U9) were running off the assumption that if you sided with another universe, you get to stay in that universe if it wins. After all, Trunks and Mai weren't erased along with their timeline, and The Super Dragon Balls weren't erased along with U6, so it is something Zeno can control.

Frieza's been a better teammate than Vegeta.

Well Vegeta's an idiot so that makes sense.

So, I might have to throw away my theory for the Universal Survival Saga's ending. According to the Wikia's translation of Limit Break X Survivor, that first translation we heard was incorrect. Honestly, it makes sense that was a rush job, given how it came out literally a couple hours after the full version did. Most notably, there's no mention of "the climax scene" and the line "even the God of Destruction looks puny" is changed to "the Gods of Destruction are getting furious".

[up] Why in the world would they put hints in about how the arc would end in the opening.

So far, the U7 elimination order has exactly followed the order of the number of stars in the Dragon Balls the characters are holding in the op. Krillin, Tenshinhan, Roshi, Piccolo, and 18. That theory only needs 17 and Freeza to go out, in that order, to be proven correct.

I hope it all comes crashing down, because I hate it when writers/developers spoil shit in a title or opening. Foreshadowing and allusion is fine, but put it in the meat of the story, not the damn opening.....

That doesn't seem to be much of a problem...

As long as it's still done in the story either way...

You know, if his more bigoted ideas were curtailed, he was disciplined more, he was taught better, and his violent tendencies were aimed in a more productive direction, I can't help but think that a non-evil Zamasu might've made for a decent Hakaishin. Better than Beerus, at least, because while his standards for mortal quality would've been harsh, they also would've been a lot less arbitrary than solely based on quality of cuisine.

I thought Toriyama did an interview where he said he didn't like Vegeta?

Also, the Frieza thing is weird, but I'm just going to assume it's because Frost is like a cockroach and hard to get rid of if you aren't careful. After all, he managed to get away from Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta and Android 18 earlier in the tournament despite both being stronger than him.

He's said before that he didn't like Vegeta much but he was useful to have around, but also said Vegeta's type is one of his favourite characters.

Looks like he's lasering in on Bulma and Vegeta's relationship, and what happens to Yamcha.

He says the next video will be his most controversial. Even though he already made that video on the Ginyu Squad, so that's difficult to believe.

I'm going to guess it's going to be "Androids 19 and 20 should have been the main bad guys" or some variation thereof.

By the way, 17 and 18 don't use Ki to fly right? How come they can't fly in this tournament?

Well, if it's controversial that's what I'm expecting. The other possibility is him getting angry at them not using the Dragonballs to find Dr. Gero's lab.
