The Location Where Frieza Died and Returned - 「復活のF」Trivia #001

The rocky wasteland where Frieza and his father landed many years ago and being ultimately killed by Future Trunks seemingly played a role in "Resurrection F". Let's take a deeper look in the screenplay of the movie!

As I recently could finally find "Volume F" which includes the screenplay of the movie written by Akira Toriyama I sometimes go through and find some interesting details. Let's get started with the first one: The Location Where Frieza Died and Returned.

So far I didn't expect that the location where Sorbet, Tagoma and the Pilaf Gang summoned Shenlong had a special meaning. However, on page 31 of the volume I found the following line, just mentioned after the a short dialogue between Piccolo and Gohan:

未来のトランクスにフリーザが倒された地。

Which would translate to:

On the soil where Frieza was defeated by Trunks.

Means, they actually went to the exact same place to revive Universe 7's emperor. Interestingly it was not mentioned in the movie, Dragon Ball Super Episode 19 or Toyotarou's manga adaptation at all.

So, was it a coincidence that they went to the same area? Or did Sorbet know that you get revived at the same place that you died? Did he even had data of that exact spot? It all more or less states that Frieza was still alive at the moment he was cut into pieces and Shenlong brought him back in the exact same state and seemingly also location. Interesting stuff, it answers one question and opens another. 

There are more details in that volume, next example comes soon!

Frieza has a grandma!

Officially that was never confirmed or even mentioned. But in the German version of the manga and even in the anime a few additional lines were added to let the fans believe that a higher force in the Frieza family does exist.

For that we need to go to volume 28 and chapter 330: Right before Trunks shows up, Frieza usually states that with his increased power he should be able to defeat Goku himself, however in the German version the space emperor has the following lines:

"With daddy I can do this for sure!"

"Else he gets beaten up by my grandma."

This not only suggests that Frieza has a grandma, it also mentions that she even seems to be stronger than King Cold.

But there's more: After Trunks killed Frieza it's now just him and King Cold left. Before Cold asked to get Trunks' sword he suggested the future warrior to join his family to become 'his new son'. After Trunks declined, King Cold answered in the German version a bit more than: 'Such a shame!'

'A shame. And what am I going to tell his grandma now?'

Interestingly that line even made it to the German anime version since the script for the anime was often based on the manga dialogues. 

But this all caused more of confusion since in the original run there never was a grandma of Frieza and that's all just a joke made by the German translator.

But still, it makes the German version a bit of unique, since that 
wasn't mentioned in any other manga or dub as far as I'm aware of.

And I would bet nobody outside the German speaking Dragon Ball community knew about this. The Google search results speak for itself, so therefore I thought it could be time to spread this information of Dragon Ball history.
