For god's sake Gohan stop going Super Saiyan you're just powering yourself down.

For god's sake Goku go Super Saiyan you're not powering yourself up enough.

It's amazing how after Gohan going Super Saiyan was pointed out for Battle of Gods and changed at the last minute, they're doing it again.

It'd probably just be easier for them to just go with all the fan explanations about Ultimate wearing off since they apparently just can't stick to it.

I'm pretty sure Toriyama is trying to sweep Mystic Gohan under the rug because he wrote himself into a corner with that power up. Realistically, Gohan should be the strongest of protagonists but you can't have Goku constantly saving the day if that's the case.

Hey, crazy idea. Maybe Gohan can save the day.

It's Freeza. At this point, we have at least six guys who could probably singlehandedly save the day, unless his minions also wished to multiply his power a few times over.

But we all know it's gonna be Goku again.

Now what I'm interested in is that Freeza Soldier horde battle. Look at Roshi go. And maybe Gohan went Super Saiyan because he's just fighting grunts at that point.

[up][up] That ship has long sailed and no-one is sadder about it than I. At the very least they could try and make use of him in a way that doesn't require sidelining him or retconning his powers.

But that's expecting way too much since no part of that plan involves fellating Goku or Vegeta.

You'd think Goku becoming SSG And Gohan's own lack of training would be enough for him to slip back to second best. Even though he is very blatantly the best that no one can compare to.

#8486: Dec 5th 2014 at 7:24:21 AM

You striked out the wrong half of that.

SSG would, yeah, since that's stupidly powerful, but just repeating Gohan regressing due to lack of training so Vegeta and Goku can surpass him is kind of lazy. Also, Ultimate was so much stronger that it shouldn't be so easy - 7 years on his ass and they just barely surpassed him by the Boo arc.

Goku absorbed the power of God and kept it for his Base level for literally no reason at all so you'd think that would be enough to put him back above Gohan.

Well yeah but GT made base Goku stronger than Majin Boo and gave him SS4, they still nerfed Gohan.

Even if one can avoid nerfing Gohan, it'll be done anyway because how dare he ever try to take ~GOKUUUU~ 's place.

It's actually kinda sad how they're going to try to make Frieza a credible threat.

[up]Well again, as much as Americans prefer Cell, Frieza is the most popular villain in Japan so it kind of makes sense.

[up][up]Irrelevant. Just because someone's popular doesn't mean they aren't a joke.

Hell, TFS should put out a movie in which Nappa shat all over Beerus, if that was the case.

wild mass guessThe true villain isn't actually Frieza, but his long lost older/younger/twin brother/sister, Fridge, masquerading as Frieza for reasons. Also may or may not be Beerus tier in strength.wild mass guess

Obviously, the God of Destruction has been a minion of Frieza this entire time. Like, all minions of Frieza are named for food items you'd find in the refridgerator? Well, where do YOU keep your Beerus?

EDIT: Oh god, that actually IS his name, isn't it? I thought I was being a smartass, but I just got that. Beerus and Whis are Beer and Whiskey.

One other thing I don't think anyone has mentioned: Most of the thirteen Dragonball Z films were about fifty minutes long. Battle of the Gods was an hour and twenty five minutes. Hopefully Freeza's return will be about that long as well. Also, it looks like we'll see Freeza's first form as well as his fourth. Think we'll see forms two and three?

[up][up]I hope we won't see form two and three. One hour and twenty-five minutes is not enough to justify four forms. One big "surprise" power-up, followed by whatever the good guys have to do to keep up is pretty much all you can do with that kind of time.

I don't know, giving the 3rd form more screen time would be cool.

Except Popularity Power is exactly the reason. Dude is obviously going to get some type of Power Boost to compensate I'm just mentioning his popularity for the people who keep asking over and over "Why Freeza?"
