Well, Orlen is playable in Xenoverse. Maybe they could do a side quest in Xenoverse 3 where some Frieza Soldiers accidentally ended up on Earth after being brought back to life, maybe figure out whether or not they should stay as soldiers or live their own lives.

I need this fanfic now.

*During Resurrection F*

Orlen: "Is that... Lord Frieza? And he's in trouble! This is your time to shine Orlen. CHA-"

*Frieza blows the planet up*

Late, but I knew I remembered Frieza blowing three guys to death.

I mean, not in the manga. That I can tell.

Everyone on his own side Freeza kills on Namek is filler.

I mean, I think. I've tried pouring over every panel roughly aligned with where I remember a team-kill in the anime, but maybe I missed something.

I may have mentioned this before, but the combination of Ultra Instinct, Instant transmission and Kaioken would be pretty broken.

Ultra Instinct lets you react with far better speed than normal due to the whole your body moments independent of thought idea, Kaioken boosts speed and attack power, and Instant Transmission allows you to teleport anywhere there's high battle powers.

The biggest issues are that:

1) Ultra Instinct seems to be entirely limited to either gods or beings close to gods...or Goku.

2) Kaioken is only known by Goku, and the body damaging aspect makes it very risky...except for him, and even he has an upper limit.

3) Instant Transmission is only known by Goku once again, and he seems to be completely uninterested in teaching it to anyone else, nor are any of them interested in asking...which is annoying because it'd be a very useful ability, especially in the Android Arc. The Z Warriors can sense the Androids, but (with the exception of 16) the Androids can't sense them either, so they could have used IT to seemingly disappear from the battlefield, only it turns out they are just a few feet away changing a huge attack just out of the 'droids view.

Remember the Hellzone Grenade? How it might have worked if not for 17's barrier. Well imagine an attack of that magnitude if they don't see it coming because they don't realize the other guy is right behind them.

...It would fail of course, because Power Levels are bullshit impossible to work around, but it would have been cool.

Or at least I think so.

The one time he uses Instant Transmission in combat is versus a guy that can regenerate.

And depending on the dub, he shouldn't have regenerated from that

He also used it against Beerus in Battle of Gods I believe...

Come to think of it, while it's useful for zipping around quickly, Goku doesn't actually use IT much in battle does he. Admittedly, he's got to concentrate quite a bit for it to work but it is possible.

So Toriyama never really intended it as a battle technique, but more of a utility for getting around I suppose. To cut down on those Dragonball Hunts.

Ultra Instinct isn't mostly limited to Gods. It's mostly limited to Angels. Who are older, wiser, stronger, and better trained than Gods.

Like, Beerus is the only God of Destruction ever demonstrated to know any amount of Ultra Instinct, and he still hasn't mastered it.

Super has a lot of fights where Goku uses instant transmission.

Anyway, I don't think Kaioken should combine with Ultra Instinct. Stacking Super Saiyan with Kaioken is very cool, but a lot of Ultra Instinct's appeal comes from its simplicity.

Freeza's mouth game is so good, he blew three guys at the same time and it killed them, even though they were Namekians and lacked genitals. Actually, Freeza only blew two of them to death, the third was just super exhausted from it and Freeza finished him off by penetrating him from behind.

I like proto-Freeza. His pink upper torso and red arms is a nice, simple look for him. I don't have a problem with his design being different since even ignoring the dubiously canon Bio-Armor stuff, Freeza's race can customize what they want their transformations to look like.

Freeza specifically chose gold as the color of Golden Freeza to imitate and mock the color of Super Saiyan, and it's a common fan theory that 2nd Form Freeza is designed to look like King Cold to honor him. It's not entirely outside the realm of possibility that Freeza can just decide to redesign his 1st Form whenever he wants.

I like how both Freeza design and the lack of an army + Bardock directly contradicts the original manga's portrayal of Vegeta's destruction.

[up][up]Talking about that, it's a big miss opportunity that most of the time that transformation appears in videogames they use the golden color instead of letting choose your own (it isn't hard...right?)

Masako X brought it up in his video for this trailer, but I think it's worth mentioning here. Frieza and King Cold both got recolored here to very Cooler-esque colors. Could this possibly mean that Cooler's going to be the next movie topic?

My ideal Xenoverse would give Freeza race characters 7 transformations (2nd, 3rd, 4th, Buff, 5th, Golden, 5th Golden), all of which (aside from Buff, which just makes your 4th Form design jacked) are independently customizable.

When you learn the transformation, you should be taken to a Character Customization screen where you can design what you want the transformation to look like, within the set parameters of the form (1st and 4th Forms are short, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th Forms are tall, and Golden Forms need to be gold). The game should provide you with a suggestion based on what your default Freeza race character looks like, but you should get the option to customize.

@Pushover: I assumed that Frieza has no control over what his forms look like, and that Cold resembles Frieza's second form because he's less powerful than Frieza.

Why wouldn't he have control over what the forms look like? He's the one who created them.

The thinking was that it's a natural process for the species and was like how a caterpillar has no control over what its butterfly form looks like.

If he did model second form on Cold does that mean at some point he ran into a Xenomorph Queen and was like man that thing looked neat?

maybe she was his mother

maybe that's what being born "from his father alone" means

It's not a natural process for his species; Frieza and his father are mutants, and he specifically created his forms to suppress his power.
