Yamcha solos Freeza, everyone starts praising him for a few months! Then everyone points out that Yamcha is still fodder compared to every other character in the series, and the cycle continues!

[up]I could picture it. Yamcha drinks the "Hyper" Divine Water and beats Frieza entirely on his own. And gets zero respect for it because of Yo! Son Goku and his Friends Return.

Movie: Is that Whis and Beerus on the cover? Hmm. This should be interesting.

Sorbet and "Egg" would've saved themselves a lot of trouble if they'd just gone to Namek like Frieza did. Though evidently Namekian is a pretty difficult language to grasp, so maybe not.

Also, I just found this:

Eh, methinks Yamcha would take it with humor, really.

I just realized. Frieza wanted to wish for eternal life. Someone else is wishing for him to return to life. I don't know the correct word for this so I'll settle for 'appropriate' or 'fitting.'

I also just realized they could probably slap a immortality addendum on top of the wish and give Frieza a Garlic jr.-esque power up that way.

Being immortal still wouldn't make him strong enough to actually beat his opposition. Though I have to wonder; what does immortality actually mean in this series? Like, if I evaporated Garlic Jr. dpwn to the last atom, how would that work?

Or would he just tank literally everything?

The thing that I'm most bothered with is that they decided to reheat old plots instead of using the new things established in the previous movie. I don't want to watch Freeza, I want to see other universes and God's of Destruction.

I want to see some evil alien enemy with three minions (One is pretty, one has weird powers, and one is dumb muscle) who can transform, at which point Goku must use the Spirit Bomb to defeat them. That sounds like a good plot for a DBZ movie.

Is it just me, or does Frieza have a Godly ki aura? Is he going to transform even further me thinks...

Also, I really like Goku's new threads.

So does anyone notice the fact that Krillin is bald again?

Must be something to do with his new power level.

You know, the one he's going to kill Frieza with.

And Yajirobe, against all odds, will beat Cell. One punch sends a deadly ripple cascading through the bio-android's body that pulverizes his each and every cell.

So just to confirm that's Gohan and not Yamcha on that poster, notice the forelock. Has Yamcha ever had that? I rest my case.

I hope Frieza doesn't have a new transformation. That's not how Frieza's transformations work. Final Form is his base form; his transformations lower his power, not raise it.

They're like locks to hold in his incredible ki.

Why does Gohan look like a Bruce Lee-type character though? It's been years since he had a bowl-cut.

@ FOFD: I've heard there's a video game where Krillin and #18 atomize Frieza with The Power of Love, which sounds either really awesome or really stupid.

He felt like going Old school.

What? And not Perfect Cell the most badass villain in DBZ? We could have gotten The Cell Games Part II!

Ya know, I notice Americans hold the Android Saga(and Cell particularly) to a higher standard than the Namek Saga and Freeza, while the opposite is true in Japan.

There are plenty of western fans who rag on the Android/Cell arcs and praise the Namek arcs though.

@Tobias I'm with you on that, but the poster says something about a new transformation and it's likely referring to Freeza.
