In that sense, the offering is a little underwhelming, but it still deserves points for just how much new material it brings to the table. “Despair Redux!” is an episode that spends a lot of time setting things in place for the ensuing fallout next episode. Sorbet, the ersatz leader of the Frieza Force (along with his second-in-command, Tagoma) has a plan that’s set to take their army right to Earth and to seize the Dragon Balls. Picking up from the cliffhanger that ended last week’s episode, it appears that the surviving remnants of the Frieza Force have fallen on harsh times and have decided to revive the deceased tyrant for support. This episode will at least go over well with them. Then again, there are surely people who have never seen Resurrection ‘F’ before or also happen to be huge Frieza fans. That being said, it still feels a little insulting to spend approximately 25 episodes of the series just going over old material, and stretching it out at that. For instance, the brief appearance of the Captain Ginyu frog (!!) is certainly not a one-off Easter egg and becomes quite the problem down the road. This might seem like torture for die-hard fans who consumed these films as soon as they were released, but there’s still some fun to be had with how Dragon Ball Super expands and deviates from its source material. Now the series is about to spend another dozen installments re-enacting the following canonical feature, Resurrection ‘F’. Dragon Ball Super has had its fun by adapting the Battle of Gods feature film over its first batch of episodes. Hell, even somehow bringing back a character like Raditz or Dabura would have been more interesting!ĭragon Ball Super enters its next big arc in this episode, however the show’s upcoming direction might be frustrating for some. So, while in theory the return of Frieza should qualify as a big deal for Dragon Ball fans, it’s hard not to imagine how subbing in someone like Cell in his place wouldn’t be more effective. The character has returned enough times at this point, although he’s definitely hit a point of diminishing returns. It’s not hard to understand why Frieza has been embraced so much through the series-he’s a ruthless tyrant that was depicted as one of the most evil presences in the universe. Not only was the villain given a lengthy tenure as Big Bad back during Dragon Ball Z’s infancy, but the character has already returned a number of times through the Dragon Ball mythos. Frieza is a trigger for a lot of Dragon Ball fans.
