It's funny that Goku and Frieza have better teamwork than Goku and Vegeta.

I mean seriously, is Vegeta really THAT obstinate?

[up] Freeza did offer his energy to Goku's Spirit Bomb. Meanwhile, Vegeta literally covered his bases for not participating by stopping Ribrianne's intervention by himself.

It really blows my mind that Frieza is more of a team player than Vegeta despite trying to defect to three other universes and attempting to kill Goku upon revival.

This prolly has to do with that whole "I'll win without throwing anything away". Turns out what Vegeta meant by that is how he'll win by being Vegeta, all on his own & not giving a shit about anyone else.

No wonder Jiren praised him. He & Vegeta are the same.

I do like how Jiren seemed to be genuinely enjoying himself by the time he got his second wind.

It's too small a payoff for how bland he was in preceding episodes, but it does make me like him more.

By the way, the Grand Priest phrased the wish as "Please restore all of the universes that were erased", so the door is wide open to bring back those 6 that Zen-Oh destroyed long ago.

I'm not sure about Violet x 17. She's like 15 years older than him, assuming that he's around Goku's age. Eh, this is the same franchise with Mai x Trunks, so why not?

And the theory was that his wife is Violet.

So then he's into older chicks.

Plus his kids are adopted so his wife being rather older could be the reason for that.

Isn't Violet a bit too old to be his wife? Assuming he's early twenties around the time of the Android saga she's probably at least twice his age.

edit: If they're going to use a preexisting character as his wife I'd prefer Launch. At least she was a fairly significant character for a time.

They already confirmed that 17's wife is a zoologist.

So either she's not anyone we know or Violet/Launch decided they freaking loved animals.

Here's another fun fact in hindsight: unless there's another set of Dragon Balls to fix this, the entire Namekian race in Universe 6 is down to two people.

Maybe fate just hates Namekians and doesn't want there to be a lot of them.

Did they say they fused all the Warrior Clan or just the entirety of the Namekian race in general?

Though yeah poor Namekians.

I liked DB Super, but even so the series had the most exaggerated examples of Strong as They Need to Be.

  • Becoming a Multi-Galaxy/Universal Buster is treated as if it were the easiest thing in the world.
    • It reminds me of Saint Seiya, in which the characters went from Mach 5 to be faster than light in a few volumes.

I'm sure Saint Seiya handled the concept better, and I haven't even read it.

It really blows my mind that Frieza is more of a team player than Vegeta despite trying to defect to three other universes and attempting to kill Goku upon revival.

And when you think about it, all of his "threats" of defection ended with him getting the drop on whoever he was trying to make the deal with. tongue

One thing about the Pilaf gang: They were pretty much resetted into babies rather than just deaged. For all intents and purposes they aren't the guys from the original dragon ball.

To be fair to Bardock, Frieza working with Goku wasn't something anyone expected. Frieza was an evil bastard who killed without remorse but then again so was Vegeta.....
