![]() ![]() He’s actually quite a dynamic character, but you wouldn’t get that from just watching Super. It’s also worth mentioning, Goku isn’t as dumb as he seems. While he doesn’t seek out being a hero, he doesn’t reject heroic responsibilities when they come up. Goku cares about his friends and he will fight on behalf of others should he feel they need him. This does not mean he isn’t heroic, however. He doesn’t save people just because and his main priority in life is to fight strong opponents so he can get stronger. Freeza has a more active role in Super than he’s ever had, but it’s at the expense of the legacy associated with the character. Resurrection F is basically a play date that Beerus and Whis can break up should things go south (which they did,) and Freeza can be subdued by Goku during the Universe Survival arc should be out of line. Come Super, however, all tension involving Freeza is gone. That leaves Freeza as the strongest, naturally born villain the heroes ever had the displeasure of squaring off against.įreeza’s role is so influential that he’s used as a benchmark in the Android arc and referenced by Kaioshin as a galactic danger during the Buu saga. The Androids were modified, Cell was a science project gone wrong, and Majin Buu was a magical being with a questionable background. In the original series, Freeza was the naturally strongest antagonist in the universe. It’s just boring.Īs fun as Freeza’s been in the Tournament of Power, the overall handling of his character has been poor to say the least. It’s not refreshing if Goku loses all the time. Dragon Ball Super effectively took a creative ending that helped develop series’ core themes and ran it into the ground. If Goku loses to Jiren, he’ll have lost against every main villain. Goku loses every fight in Battle of Gods, does not defeat Freeza in Resurrection F without Whis’ assistance, only wins one match in the Universe 6 tournament, and cannot defeat Zamasu or Goku Black on his own. If Goku loses to Jiren, he’ll have lost against every main villain. ![]() The man who had one of the best win rates in Dragon Ball now has one of the worst. While a novel ending, Super seems to have taken quite a liking to the format, refusing to give Goku a single, definitive win against the anime’s new villains. Despite attaining a new transformation, the main villain could not be defeated. Goku losing to Beerus at the end of Battle of Gods is one of the most refreshing endings to a story the franchise has ever had. ![]()
