Frieza (DBS Manga) Revision

[XSOULOFCINDERX]

So the official colored version of the Granolah Arc was released and Frieza One-Shot Gas in Base, not in his Black Form. His profile should be adjusted accordingly.

 

[LephyrTheRevanchist]

Straight forward indeed

Also god-DAMN

 

[Adem_Warlock69]

That looks like Black Frieza ngl
I remember someone tried to do this in the first thread but it was rejected

Look at his hand the literal next panel. He's in base.

 

[Emerald]

I disagree
You can still see in the colored that the portions are darkened just like Black Freeza
Him being base form right after, can just be explained by him just going back to base form after one shotting Gas

 

[XSOULOFCINDERX]

I know right? Dude one-shot the strongest character in the saga in Base. He only transformed to flex on Goku and Vegeta, even though in my opinion beating their ass in Base would've been a bigger flex.

He has white in between the darkened lines. Those are representing his movement.

That's not him transforming, that's just him being shaded since he's under Gas who's huge in this moment.

He did the quick transform-detransform thing, like I dunno how you look at this and see Base Frieza lol (Sorry if that ended up sounding rude)

 

[Damage3245]

No, Frieza is in Black Frieza form there when he one-shots Gas.

 

[SamanPatou]

Frieza's only quite shadowed and is pretty white in the spots where he should otherwise be black, so I also think that's his base.

Agreed

 

[Emerald]

Not really
You can see that he transformed right here. His mouth is lighter than the rest of his face, which only happens in Black form

 

[StrymULTRA]

Plus the area around his mouth is still totally white, just like Black Frieza is. Plus the shoulders are still more white than the arms as well.

 

[Maizesoup]

Also disagree. Freeza had an aura that he didn't have in his base form when he killed Gas and the "shading" argument isn't very convincing, especially with the 2nd page.

Yeah, this should cement it tbh.

This is Black Frieza.

 

[Huesito88]

Look at Frieza's purple gem on his right leg at the bottom when he stabs Gas and compare it to his "normal" final form

 

[SamanPatou]

I can see people arguing for that being Black Frieza, he does look darker than normal while still white-ish, maybe the colorist didn't want to spoil it outright.

The purple aura is also a very valid point, since he doesn't have it anymore in the panel right after, when he's in base.

 

[XSOULOFCINDERX]

Frieza's fingernails are almost the exact same shade as his Black Form, unlike in the panel where he punched through Gas. Also his skin is the same color all around, especially when you notice that his shoulders are the same color as his arms when he One-Shot Gas, also unlike in his Black Form.

In case anyone thinks I'm bullshitting, I'm not, you can clearly see the differences in design even with the Speed Shading in the way.

 

[Emerald]

The purple ball things on his legs are exactly the same as his Black form (its very hard to see cause of the onomatopeia) it's a ball thing
Whereas in his base form it's stretched out

Yes

 

[Damage3245]

Yes

Yeah.... Someone give me a reason why this shouldn't be shut down now?

 

[XSOULOFCINDERX]

Yes

I.... Every other detail was wrong but that part somehow managed to be visible despite the big ass text. Are you ******* kidding me Toyotaro? How do you **** up a coloring that bad to make him look entirely white yet still want to make him be in his transformed state if this is the case?

 

[Benimōru]

Doesn't this part prove that he is in his base form? Or am I missing something?

 

[Nierre]

No because he could have reverted back to base.

 

[Emerald]

Doesn't this part prove that he is in his base form?

Not really
He could've just detransformed after killing Gas

 

[Benimōru]

Oh, my bad then. Thanks for correction tho

 

[Smashtwig]

yeah the fingernail argument can't be used if there's a direct counterargument with the coloration of another body part

also we're actually doing fingernail arguments lmao

 

[LephyrTheRevanchist]

Yes

Yeah, this is the solid bit against base.

They 100% messed up that portrayal lmao.

But yeah, seems even OP has acknowledged this. @XSOULOFCINDERX want this closed?

Might as well. I think I'm in actual shock at how bad they utterly botched this panel....

 

[Damage3245]

Okay. Closing now.
