The Spoilers

As per the first leaks and spoilers for the upcoming Dragon Ball Super issue, it seems that Granolah the Survivor saga will end with a shocking appearance from none other than Frieza, one of the series’ most infamous villains, if not the singular most.

It seems that Frieza is poised to yet again return to the series’ central plotline with an interesting new power-up. No information regarding what the transformation is called in-series has been revealed, but fans are calling it Black Frieza for now. This is similar to how his other form is both officially named and called Golden Frieza by fans.

Even more shocking is the brutality with which this form of Frieza’s seems to debut. Per currently available spoiler information, he arrives at the battle scene and swiftly and cruelly kills Elec and Gas before reacquainting with Vegeta and Goku. Even more worrisome is that Ultra Instinct Goku and Ultra Ego Vegeta lose to Gas again in the issue.

For many fans, this seemingly indicates that Black Frieza is a form that seems all but sure to be stronger than Ultra Instinct or Ultra Ego. This is yet to be confirmed, but many fans seem confident in such an assessment, given the currently available spoiler information on the issue.

One of the most significant implications this could have on the series overall is the apparent equivalency or even superiority of Black Frieza to either Ultra Instinct or Ultra Ego. The latter two were previously thought to be some of the most powerful transformations in the series, and two, who wouldn’t be matched for quite some time.

Now, it seems that series creator and Super author Akira Toriyama and Super illustrator Toyotarou have decided to introduce a potential rival to the two quite early. This would seemingly suggest that Black Frieza is looking to make a comeback to the series as part of a major storyline, whether as an ally to the two Saiayans or as an enemy.

While this seems likely to happen in Dragon Ball Super’s near future, this is still speculation. As a result, fans should take such predictions with a grain of salt and keep their minds open to what the series’ creative minds have in store.
