The End of Everything.png
915 KB, 597x891
Starts with flashbacks to Freeza getting beaten by Goku and Trunks

With Freeza down, his army is in shambles. So to reorganize, Sorbet (former staff officer of the third stellar region) takes control of the army for the time being. He heads for Earth together with Tagoma, a warrior on par with the likes of Zarbon and Dodoria.

They coerce the Dragon Balls from Pilaf and co., summon Shenlong, and wish to revive Freeza.

Freeza: “I won’t be satisfied until I’ve killed the two Super Saiyans who did this to me.”

Tagoma says something he shouldn’t, and gets killed for it.

Sorbet: “Son Goku has become strong enough to defeat Majin Buu.”

Freeza: “That’s more than I imagined. But I’m a prodigy, so if I bring out all of my dormant power through training, I’ll crush even the Saiyans in the blink of an eye.”

The evilest revenge begins. End chapter one.
>>
>>121439917
They never changed back to adults, anon
>>
DB's greatest flaw has always been the fact that death was such a non issue.

And this return of Frieza isn't helping.

But then again... nobody is watching DB for its narrative qualities, right?
It's just powerlevel wankery at this point.

Completely out of character. Dropped. Freeza training is like Cell being humble about being perfect.

The fight choregraphies are nice, it's fast and you can feel the strength of the fighters. In the manga, the anime is terrible.
Also, if you look at the fights before the Cell and Buu saga, they have a lot more things than what you said.

How the fuck does Freezer even know about Majin Bu or how strong he is? Not even Babidi knew how strong Buu actually was.
And if frieza really had a "dormant strength",why the fuck he didn't train after he got beaten by Goku, he just built himself a robot body.

To be fair, Freezer built himself strong enough to destroy everyone on Earth at that point. There's literally no way he could have known Trunks would have appeared from the freaking future out of nowhere.
>>
>>121440099
Dragon ball was good, more focused on the fuax martial arts than ki spam and had more unusual techniques instead if just different coloured direct energy blasts.

The further it goes along the more generic and boring it gets.
>>
>>121440184
What site are you using to read DB/DBZ?
>>
>>121440168
He didn't build himself shit. He was scooped up by daddy in deep space and built into a cyborg while immediately flying toward earth to destroy it and torture everyone on it under the assumption that Goku was dead.

Obviously now that he's back and probably immortal, things are different
>>
>>121440222
But it didn't. DBZ was the one to introduce energy blast spam. How could someone that introduced it become generic?

>>121440211
Not strong enough to beat Goku.
The whole "he never gave a fuck so he didn't train" could work, but not here. Freeza will probably become stronger than Buu in a matter of days, a ridiculous amount of time. Even if we say he knew he was the strongest in the universe and didn't have a reason to train, he feared Super Saiyans, enough to plot behind the scenes and exterminate the future threats. Why would he wait to be killed twice to train?
Now if he was picked up right after Trunks "killed" him and trained for 30 years, that'd make it a bit more ok but I don't think that'll happen
>>
>>121440168
Freezer has a galactic army that works for him.
>>
>>121439997
Well, to be fair, this is Freeza well after he gotten beaten by TWO super Saiyans, and is dedicating himself to REVENGE.

How else is he going to fight them? Some bullshit hell powerup?
>>
What if Beerus made Freeza utilize the Room of Time and Space / Hyperbolic Time Chamber?
>>
>>121440265
What manga reader do you use?
>>
>>121440289
And he was somehow more scared about a legendary sayan that he wasn't even sure existed than frickin Majin Bu?
>>
>>121440286
He got picked up but he was still half dead. His father thought that the only way to increase his power and save his life was by giving him machines for his new body.
>>
>>121440222
There are nice tactics and martial arts/technics until the Cell and Buu sagas. The Vegeta fight is one of the best.

Beings like Buu are usually a legend and he has never seen any being like Buu while the Saiyans was infront of him.
>>
>>121440286
Freezer didn't die against Goku, he managed to survive just enough that he could be revived through machinery. Trunks is the one who actually killed him. Freezer has been in Hell (or HFIL lololo) since then.

But really, why do you say he wasn't stronger than Goku? He definitely was. Goku stayed on the planet that saved him and trained with them for a little while before returning to Earth. At this point, though, Freezer had thought that Goku blew up with Namek.
>>
>>121440289
How would that help him against Majin Buu, a creature that killed divine beings and destroyed more planets than Freiza ever did.

Retconning Beerus into Freiza and Vegetas backstory was so dumb.
>>
>>121440356
Spamming energy blast. Firing it like a laser has always been there but spamming it when fighting using kung fu moves isn't.

Goku didn't job against Trunks so I assume he'd have been able to beat Freezer. Maybe mecha Freezer is stronger than Namek SSJ Goku.
>>
>>121440373
Except Freiza knew the God of Destruction personally, was his bitch. It seems like less of a baseless legend if his officers knew about it and could tell Freiza how badass Goku was just by mentioning the name.
>>
>>121440423
I guess he was, since he was able to predict and block Trunks' sword with his index finger. But wasn't that only because he trained before coming back to Earth? Freezer was just foolish about it. He didn't think Goku would ever even survive Namek let alone think he would have trained some more in the time it took Freezer to be rebuilt.

Goku's so retarded, he really thought this would somehow deal with Freiza's galactic army? Or that a petty tyrant like Freiza WOULDN'T try to get revenge against Earth somehow?

Why is Goku so much more retarded as an Adult than he was as a Kid?
Kid Goku punched through King Piccolo or Commander Black without hesitation.

He knew Goku was returning to Earth

He wanted to slaughter his family and the earthlings after managing to arrive first so he could taunt Goku about it
>>
>>121439845
They're not, the entire movie would be Freeza trying hard and failing hard with each attempt before finally realizing that he's actually having a better life in hell than this.
>>
>>121440530
It's not about hesitation, he was just so above him that he couldn't be bothered killing him

Literally everything about the "plot" or powerlevels is retarded. It's useless to try to make any sense out of it.
>>
>>121440530
He wanted to torture him by leaving him alive or some shit. But yeah he really didn't think about the consequences. Goku not killing Piccolo makes sense because he could always kick his ass the day he tried to do something bad. Sparring Veget and Freezer was irresponsible.

>>121440553
>>121440559
It's been a while. That does sound right, though. My mistake. But then Freezer still didn't think Goku would train enough during the time it took him to be rebuilt. Again, he was just being cocky about it all.

I'm happy that Frieza is training.

Showing up and going "SINCE WHEN WERE YOU UNDER THE IMPRESSION MY FINAL FORM WAS MY FINAL FORM?" would be really aggravating.

How he trains is important though. Doing some shadow boxing and calling it a day would be a bad way of going about it. I want to see him on some horrid planet training under a fuckload of gravity in really poor conditions.

Freezer not training at all when he could've became stronger than Buu, however...

Toriyama Goku we all know and love, yes.

Except the whole reason he transformed into a super saiyan was because his friend was killed and he gave a speech about being the vengeance of the murdered innocents given form.

And he's still portrayed as the "messiah" of the series, a bastion of morality with an impossible "pure good heart".

Goku is a terrible protagonist and became pretty boring as a fighter to boot.

its like getting rid of all the saiyans tails to the point of forgetting them completely when trunks/goten rolled around or getting rid of all the beast people that were also earthlings.

>he gave a speech about being the vengeance of the murdered innocents given form.

>>121440530
1) Goku wasn't concerned about Freeza's army because he hardly knows anything about them, it's not really his job to do it. He's never been interested in being in control of anything other than a fight. Goku could probably clean up crime pretty well, but it's not his job to do it.
2) He was under the impression that Freeza would be too ashamed (read; scared) to try and fuck with him anymore.
3) He also says to Freeza that he shouldn't cause trouble anymore. If anyone heard about the warrior that trounced Freeza, they try to go call him.
>>
>>121440975
They probably cut their tails because it's a weak point.
Or maybe unlocking Super Saiyan triggers a reaction in the body that prevents the tail from growing again.
>>
>>121440723
That's also what I remembered, but thinking about it, didn't Emma said Dabura loved "hell" so he sent him to "heaven" ? Which implies it exists. Doesn't means it's anything like the one in the Anime filler. This shit was so retarded.

He's half-Human, so I guess that means he can still have Human disadvantages. Chi-chi kept him reading books for most of his childhood, so he probably developed near-sightedly. We all know people in the DBZ world mostly use Ki to sense things during a fight anyway.

>>121440908
Well obviously Goku is going to get pissed off when his friend dies. He's not a cold-blooded asshole.

Goku being dumb about his enemies is what makes his character so amazing. He's satisfied just being able to beat strong people in a fight, he doesn't want to kill them. In fact, he wants them to live so they can get stronger and thus give Goku more of a fight later on. If he cared about killing people who threatened his world, he never would have given Freezer a bit of his power to live, and he never would have given Cell a Senzu Bean. It was like, "this amazingly powerful bad guy is going to destroy Earth, but Goku gave him a Senzu Bean? Is he crazy?!," how is that boring?
>>
Speaking of Goku's status as the MC its pretty boring that Goku keeps getting handed new forms like he was Ichigo. Now SSJ3 was one thing, but even then it wasn't the same as it being revealed only saiyans were capable of becoming literal GODS by having a bunch of other saiyans circlejerk them to divinity including a fetus in the womb. If anything the God thing could have been used as a grand leveler to deal with the cancerous power level wank, bring everyone who's worthy to a new baseline so they can all get some proper fights in again not just the saiyans.

Dammit, that filler arc was such horseshit. Having Pikkon own Cell in a matter of seconds when it took everything Goku and Gohan had to beat him, only for Goku to beat Pikkon in the tournament in the end? Horseshit.

>>121443447
>Bleach.

I can't think of a single Dragonball character that's got shittied on more than Orihime and Chad, from Bleach.

Yamcha, Puar, Oolong, Kuririn, Yajirobe, Tenshinhan and Chaiotsu, at their worst, still proved to be helped during the story arcs they were introduced in.

Kubo made a point to put aside whole story arcs for Chad and Orihime JUST to play up how useless they are.

I can't really take Naruto to task, by comparison, since the character got to do something, even they were proven worthless, in the long run.

Rock Lee, Shikamaru, Chouji, Neji, Ino, Tenten, Guy, etc. all got to fight somewhere in the show, instead of just showing up to get one-shotted or killed off; that's about even for what the non-Goku characters in Dragon Ball got, as the series went on. And even then, at least Toriyama gave enough shits about his characters to give them a passing mention years later, without resorting to Data Books, like Kubo has done.

Toriyama completely forgot about her and threw out something belated later on outside the series itself to explain why she completely vanished.
The anime crew remembered her more than he did.

No he didn't. He has her dialog on the page where Android 17 is shown holding up some poachers.

It was originally supposed to be Lunch, given technically 17 never met Son Goku, so when he says "Ah, that's a voice I haven't heard in a long time." it makes zero sense.

Toriyama actually requests they fix it for the anime release that came a year later. The only character he forgot is Tao Pai Pai, but that was 10+ years after Dragon Ball ended with that duo interview with the author from One Piece.

>You're full of shit mate, nothing was "fixed"

Lunch was added to the anime during the scene where everyone is Goku their energy in a separate scene.

>>121444839

Next to 'when DBZ was supposed to end', 'Toriyama's bad memory' is the only thing more exaggerated by DBZ fans. Considering Dragon Ball was running on a week-to-week schedule, often with only a two-chapter buffer between the weekly releases, it's amazing Toriyama didn't forget a lot more things during Dragon Ball's run.

Freeza has always been arrogant about his strength, and I got the impression he was always that strong and didn't really work for it.

If he applied himself and trained, he could be pretty fucking strong.

How long does he even have to train after being revived on earth by the dragonballs before they find him?
>>
>>121445928
Exactly why I love the concept.

Frieza was a mutant - an outlier. He was the strongest in the universe for no reason but fate. The Super Saiyans -what he feared most- ended up taking his life, and now that he's been gifted new life, he has the chance to train his body and mind for the challenge of killing the man who humiliated him.

I think it's beautiful.

>>121446006
It makes sense when you understand the greater SSJ transformations are kind of useless. They fit the situations at hand, but in a fight against someone who knew what he was doing (Bills) they were just too slow. SSJ 3, for example, worked against Buu. That's because Buu let himself get hit due to his regeneration powers. He didn't give a fuck. Frieza would be way too fast for that - similar to Bills.

The real question is can Frieza tap into the same mindset Goku found after experiencing Super Saiyan God? Why the hell not? I'm a fan of that potential asspull.

>>
>>121444494
>People bitch about Yamcha jobbing, but at least he's won a notable fight, which is more than you can say about Chad.

Even if you ignore the characters fighting record, at least Yamcha, Tien and Krillin still hang out with Goku and try to help, when shit goes down.

In Bleach, Ichigo barely sees his human friends anymore. I recall the chapter where Aizen attacks the real Karakura town being one of the best ones, since at see Mizuiro throwing pipe-bombs and shit at Aizen, for all the good it did. It's a shame that guy, Tatsuki and Keigo didn't get special powers, because they were a hell of a lot better characters than the shitload of Soul Society characters that get focus wasted on them.
>>
>>121446201

We don't know the plot of the movie, yet. Goku and Vegeta could be on a level with Freeza, turning this into nothing more than sport. There might be no reason for those two to intervene.

Just my opinion.

Goku was shown fighting Freeza in base form. Perhaps Goku and Vegeta greatly outclass Freeza, and killing him is no problem, but he was granted eternal life by the dragon balls, and they have to discover a more creative way of stopping him than simply sending him to the spawn point?

That's because Kubo is busy making Ichigo a billion and one things, he doesn't have time to hang out with his faggot friends when he can be hanging out with some else getting them sweet power ups that are going to be used once or twice and forgotten.
