Frieza's race aren't the Arcosians. The Arcosians come from King Kai's Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole-filled speech about Saiyan history from the anime, identified as the people the Saiyans got their tech from before Frieza was introduced.

I really wish I could read Japanese so I could read those leaks linked above. Mind providing a translation?

Since Planet Vegeta was named after King Vegeta, that wouldn't be surprising. My headcanon was that Freeza's race is named after a legendary hero, like King Arthur, and Cold named his son that out of vanity and seeing him as the pinnacle of their kind

Based on them being hybrid mutants, I like to think that King Cold and Freeza are the product of centuries of eugenics and selective breeding to create the perfect being. It might also go to explain the sociopathy

Wooo hope Gohan and Goten's outfits are more unique.

Xeno Goku's outfit is great though, don't see how they're topping that

[up] TP Goku's new outfit is a trenchcoat, TP Gohan's new outfit is a dark version of his scholar clothes and TP Goten's new outfit is like TP Goku's old one but with yellow pants.

It's nice to see best buddy Freeza will be in the movie. His minions have been looking progressively less intimidating with every iteration.

I'm more interested in the info from the new movie (though I did get a laugh that the new Evil Masked Saiyan (what is this, the fourth one?) isn't Raditz, but is instead a new character). I like Freeza's new design, glad to see that we're going back to the thicc tail base. Freeza walking with his tail between his legs looks weird. Goku and Vegeta's new coats are great, and it makes sense, given the arctic location of the film. If memory serves, Chelye is the first obvious woman we've ever seen in the Planet Trade Organization, including mooks! I knew I recognized Kikono's design somewhere, and a response helpfully reminded me of where: he was the guy telling Freeza about the Saiyans returning to Planet Vegeta in Dragon Ball Minus.

Toriyama must be getting lazy, because the designs for those new characters just look so bland...

[up]x3: Cabba actually fights with Caulifla and Kale to try and outmaneuver Freeza, and even knocked out the Cell lookalike "The Peecho" from Universe 3 prior.

Though she still seems to have some of the same issues as her anime counterpart, I kinda like Kale here from what I saw. They don't seem to pound the Shrinking Violet button quite as hard as Toei did. Makes sense since even if it's being written by Toyotarou, he's working closer to Toriyama, who just doesn't care for those types of characters at all.

It's still odd to see any level of Super Saiyan that isn't blue not get instantly defeated by Frieza, but considering who we're talking about, he's probably just dragging the fight out to be a sadist.

Kale also took out charm lady pretty quickly (and it didn't even look like she used charms in this version, so she's even more foddery than in the anime).

So from the sound of things we shouldn't expect Kefla to be in the manga. Champa explicitly said that Hit was their ace, and was clearly worried when he was eliminated. Here, he only seemed surprised at Kale's power.

I think it's been confirmed that Kefla is a anime only thing. I don't think Toriyama cares about Fusion in any form any more. I mean, he wasn't even going to have Goku and Vegeta fuse in the Black arc (with only Fused Zamasu being a thing), and as I understand it, the former two would have defeated the latter via teamwork. It seems he's just not interested in using it all that much any more.

In Vegetto's case it's probably a matter of being repetitive to use hom in functionally the same role. Here it's just plain breaking the rules and if allowed should lead to much more people fusing.

based on this chapter some have speculated that Kale WAS intended to be stronger than Blue Goku in their first fight, but then the idea of having them fuse into Kefla was brought up and Kale was nerfed to facilitate it.

That just makes the anime look like even more of a disjointed clusterfuck.
