WithDaima’s ending having been released soon, it is only a matter of time before another quest begins, and fans know which one they are the most excited about.
For the last couple of years,Black Friezahas been hypedas the ultimate villainwho will push the heroes past their limits. Before theDragon Ball Supermanga went into hiatus, readers were impatient about seeing the plans the series had for the upcoming arc. Before the series moves on to another side quest, it is time for Black Frieza to take center stage and give fans a battle they will never forget.
The Black Frieza Saga Must Be Dragon Ball’s Next Project
Fans Have Been Waiting for This Arc for Many Years
In 2022, theDragon Ball Supermanga series shocked fans byintroducing a new transformation for Frieza. According to the tyrant, as Goku and Vegeta battled for their lives against Granolah and Gas on Planet Cereal, he managed to find another Hyperbolic Time Chamber.By training inside for the equivalent of 10 years, the franchise’s best villain surpassed his limits, accessing a new powerful form. With this transformation, Frieza was able to quickly defeat both Goku and Vegeta at the same time, even while they were using their most powerful techniques at the time: Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego.
Ever since, fans have been waiting for the manga to focus on the upcoming battle against Universe 7’s scourge, which has been hyped as one of the best fights in the franchise. Yet, nothing has officially been announced about this saga for more than 2 years, making fans impatient. Worse of all, the recently revealed cover ofDragon Ball Supervolume #24 once again ignited the flames of excitement, as it includeda tribute to the Saiyansthat many fans believe is directly tied with the Black Frieza arc.
The Problem With Super Saiyan 4: How Dragon Ball Turned the Form Into a Point of Frustration
Dragon Ball Daima has finally made Super Saiyan 4 canon, but its weird handling of things has made it a major point of contention among fans.
The manga needs to capitalize on the rising interest the fandom has for this storyline before it is too late. If the series continues teasing Black Frieza but does not deliver on his actual appearance, it is possible thatreaders will simply lose interest. It is time for the series to deliver on the promise made in 2022 and show how the Z Warriors, against all odds, will become powerful enough to defeat their greatest villain yet. Bringing back the manga with another side story could be a huge mistake, as its relevance will surely decrease because of it.
Daima’s Success Reinvigorated the Fandom
Dragon Ball Is Once Again Among the Most Popular Franchises
Although theDragon Ballfranchise has never truly disappeared from the public eye, it has endured periods of low interest, mainly between releases of new projects. Such was the case before the latest entry in the series,Daima, became available for fans to enjoy. The anime, despite not being what most fans expected, ended up becoming a huge success, recapturing the magic of the series that millions of viewers wished to see back. The show did an excellent job creating a loving tribute to Toriyama’s work, going as far as tomake Super Saiyan 4 canon for the first time.
Thanks to Goku’s adventure in the Demon Realm,interest in the franchise is higher than it had been for several years. Fans who had long abandoned the series decided to give it a chance once again, and the positive experienceDaimaprovided them with was enough to get them to want more content. As such, now would be the perfect time for the manga series to announce the beginning of the Black Frieza saga. Doing this would ensure the success of the new chapters, as interest in the franchise has yet to drop once again.
Black Frieza Promises To Be an Unforgettable Experience
The Hype Around the Upcoming Arc Suggests It Will Be an Epic Event
Even though there has been almost no information regarding theBlack Friezaarc, fans have noticed that theDragon Ballfranchise is hinting at how big of an event it will be. From Toyotaro’s special illustration of the character during Jump Festa 2025 to the cover of volume #24, the manga series heavily implies that this saga will beamong the best in the series. If they deliver on this promise, it is possible that all the wait fans had to endure before reading this upcoming saga will have been worth it.
