" Considering how many times they bring up saving stamina, I thought this would have been how they defeat him."

They bring it up a lot sure but it hasn't really mattered at any point in the TOP, has it?

It was also mentioned Toppo was not as good with it as a full Go D as he required time and effort to charge it and bring it out.

Well then they could have easily just had Toppo lose via his God-form being unstable & Vegeta taking advantage of that making for an even but close call battle.

Instead they just went with some nakama curb-stomp bullshit along with defiling the Final Explosion.

The ending of that fight really was stupid as fuck.

My boy Toppo robbed of a rightful victory by the defanged prince of all vegetables. sad

Vegeta was rolling with the "I really really love my family" buff. tongue

Vegeta got the d20 roll in luck and managed to land the saving throw.

If King Cold gave birth to Frieza alone, would that mean Frieza is a clone of sorts to his father? If so, that might go to explain why King Cold is just an older recolor of Frieza's second form

Ya know, it's kinda funny how Goku is in 2 theatrical movies this year. No context.

I've always wondered if King Cold was genuine in his offer to Future Trunks or if he was just trying to let Trunks' guard down, it was never clear. Sociopathy asides, if he's genuine Frieza not wanting to bring him back is pretty justified.

Clovis, look up parthenogenesis. Recombination is a thing, and that can affect autofecundation's results.

It was such a dumb little thing but the whole it is fine he can still go x20...he's been x20 the whole time moment was great. That's when I was ready for the hype.

Frieza did that scene first.

Wait what

Toriyama mentioned that King Cold is Frieza's only parent and birthed him asexually.

That makes sense.

It explains why Freeza looks...and sounds finesse.

This new information about Cold being a Truly Single Parent reminds me of how some reptiles can reproduce on their own like the whiptail lizard and komodo dragon. Fun fact: while some whiptail lizard species are all female, there are males in the same genus they can create hybrids with. Biologically I'm guessing King Cold is a hybrid of two similar lizard aliens, then either due to his species or mutant powers asexually reproduced Frieza.

Admittedly I am probably giving more thought to this than Toriyama did, but I find the comparisons interesting and headcanon is fun

It's not really new information. I'm pretty sure this came out in an interview from a couple years ago.

Technically he didn't say Cold was a Truly Single Parent. He said that Frieza inherited his absurd power level from Cold.

The wording was odd. He said something along the lines of: "Freeza is a mutant because he was born from his father alone who was also a mutant".

Question: Does this make the "No Flying" thing worse?

Since it wasn't actually a rule and more of a effect of the ring.

Was this interview before or after Dragon Ball Multiverse stated that Cold birthed Frieza? If not then that's a pretty interesting coincidence.

The season finale (because let's be honest, it's coming back) of Dragon Ball Super is tomorrow. My, how time flies.

The reception to the animation change that the movie is getting has been very positive, so I'm hoping whatever comes after keeps that style.

Also, if anyone cares, Team Four Star said they would be live streaming their reactions to the last episode.
