At the time the 10 members for the Universe Survival Arc were revealed it got me thinking: There could be a stronger line-up!
And looking on how strong the former ruler of Universe 7 got after his revival with just a bit of training for 4 months? With reaching a new form? What if he could have mastered the Golden Frieza form? He was already a real threat for Super Saiyan Blue Goku back then.
And now the destiny of Universe including heaven and hell is at stake, so why only looking on Earth? There are surely stronger fighters than Muten Roshi, Kuririn or Tenshinhan out there. Especially in the afterlife, just look at Pikkon or other previous enemies in hell like Cell.
But surely, Frieza would be a great choice in terms of power. But interestingly the idea only came up after Buu fell asleep. But it's still hard to imagine that Frieza would fight along with the Z warriors. Frieza tried killing all of them and Kuririn and Piccolo won't forget that he actually did it.
In the preview for Episode 93 you could see Frieza that would accept Gokus offer, but he has conditions. What could that be?
Getting back to live and not just for 24 hours? The wish for immortality which he failed with back on Namek? Another revenge match against Goku? He surely will take an advantage out of that situation.
Anyway, I am very curious about what is going to happen in Episode 93. Goku will meet his nemesis again. The idea seems crazy but it adds more exciting for the upcoming tournament!

Why the the build-up to the Universe Survival arc is just great
Warm-up matches against Universe 9, the birth of Bulla and recruiting other members for the teams of the Universe Survival Tournament. 12 great episodes already and the tournament hasn't even started!
Personally, I love these episodes. First, Goku initiated the whole thing by going to Zeno requesting about the tournament. Bringing Buu and Gohan back for fighting in testing matches against Universe 9 was really great to see again, since both did not participate in the Universe 6 tournament.
Vegeta staying out of these matches for the birth of his daughter was just another great plot of character development. Vegeta is surely a character who changed since his sacrifice against Buu which he now especially see in Super.
The introduction of the other Gods of Destructions, their angels and the Kaioshins was also quite interesting. Let's see what their role in this arc is going to be. They seems to build an opposition against Universe 7 since it's Goku's fault we get this tournament.
But especially the recruiting of the other members of the Universe 7 team is great stuff: Piccolo and Gohan training together unleashing Ultimate Gohan again, Fat Buu trains to be slim, Goku against Kuririn and Android 18, the return of Android 17. So many interesting plot points and throwbacks.
And it's not just about the teams of Universe 7. Universe 11 has the Pride Troopers, which one of them looks like Beerus and they all seem really strong. And also: The "Female Broly" finally appeared! Cauliflowa is her name. And we saw Cabba trying to recruite her brother for the tournament, but he suggested to take his sister instead.
You see, there are a lot of things going on and looking at the next weeks preview we see Tenshinhan and Muten Roshi back in action! Already hyped to see that!

Old DBZ facts no longer true because of Super!
There were facts from DBZ which were meant to last forever, but since Dragon Ball Super is now running for more than half a year there are now a few things you can't say anymore...
New Fact #1: Piccolo was killed by Freeza
Well, on Namek Piccolo got hit by a beam right before Kuririn died for the second time. But he survived and got transported to Earth by Porunga.
But now in Super - which is different to the Fukkatsu no F movie - Piccolo got hit by Freeza in order to save Gohan. He died but is expected to be brought back to live with Namekian Dragon Balls.
Super Episode: 22
New Fact #2: Vegeta killed the whole Ginyu Force
As we know from DBZ, Vegeta first killed Guldo, then Recoome and Burter, which were first defeated by Goku. After a Senzu bean and a thereby gotten power-up the Saiyan prince managed to kill Jeice on its own. Ginyu, the only one left accidently changed his body with a frog.
After many years on Earth as a frog, Ginyu managed it to change with Tagomas body - only to be killed by Vegeta.
Super Episode: 23

Dragon Ball GT Inconsistencies Part 2: Halos
After giving you some information about the forgotten gravity on planet Plant in Dragon Ball GT I will continue the series with another important mistake or change: The missing halos in hell!
The first time when we saw a character with a halo in Dragon Ball we have to look back to Gokus childhood where he met his dead Grandpa Gohan at Babas place. People who die in the universe of Dragon Ball are in special cases allowed to get a recreation of their bodies in the afterlife.
The only difference is that dead people with their real body have halos placed above their heads. A few years later Goku made the same experience after a sacrifice to beat his brother Raditz. In some anime fillers later we also see dead evil people like the Ginyu Force having halos.
But also Dragon Ball Z have inconsistencies concerning dead villains in Hell. People coming to hell aren't supposed to have a body. During the fight against Majin Buu Vegeta asked Piccolo what will happen to him when he would die in order to kill the demon. The Namekian replies that he will lost his body because he has killed too many innocent people lately. But why could Frieza or Cell keep their real body?
Let's get to that later. But despite we saw so many villains in hell got halos, why did they lost them in the Super 17 Saga in Dragon Ball GT? It's not to compare with the movie Fusion Reborn, in which the dead people become alive again. Why even people appeared which haven't died on Earth is still another question.
During Dragon Ball GT everyone from Hell could easily 'jump' to Earth through a hole made by two Android #17 and nobody of them had a halo before. Interestingly, after being killed again waiting in the queue at Enma-Daios place enemies like Puipui still have halos above theirs heads. They lost them probably again on their way to hell.
Piccolo was seen losing his halo after destroying parts of the paradise which means he was about to go to Hell - even if it looked similar with the situation where he was revived at North Kais planet in the Frieza Saga before getting transported to Namek.
But people in Hell still remain to be indestructible. Even cutting Frieza in half didn't help to defeat him, because his body reshaped - same as in Dragon Ball Z with characters having halos in similar situations.
To distinguish people in Hell without halos between dead or alive the body temperature makes the difference: The temperature of dead people is much colder than from alive ones. That's why the ice machine worked with Frieza and Cell, but not with Goku.
Anyway, we can say that the makers of Dragon Ball GT obviously intended the change to remove the halos from the people living in Hell. It's a shame it wasn't explained why.
Maybe they didn't want villains to have halos because of the Super 17 plot? A change made by Enma-Daio? Nothing makes really sense when such a big thing isn't explained at all. Dragon Ball GT has its own rules and this thing is absolutely a case in point.
