'Dragon Ball Super' Manga Shares First Take on Golden Freeza

Dragon Ball Super's manga run is still making its way through the Tournament of Power, and while it has already made major changes to the anime's version of the events there's one thing that's stayed the same: Golden Freeza.

The latest chapter of the series had Freeza fighting the three Saiyans of Universe 6, and in this battle, Freeza debuts his Golden Freeza form which makes a great transition to the manga.

As he fights Universe 6's Caulifla, her strength takes Freeza by surprise when he states that she's stronger than the first Super Saiyan he fought. And to get a leg up, he transforms into Golden Freeza. In this form, he handles Caulifla with ease as she continues to fight. Kale and Cabba eventually step in (as Freeza notes Kale has heavier punches than Caulifla), but when Kale sees that Cabba and Caulifla are defeated she goes into a rage.

Transforming into the berserker Super Saiyan form seen in the anime, Kale is seen to have more power than even Golden Freeza. Goku eventually jumps in to help, but before the fight comes to a resolution, Kale is seen greatly increasing her ki at an alarming rate as the chapter came to a close.

Although he was bested by Kale, Golden Freeza had an impressive manga debut. Complete with dark inks, and an impressive design that comes through perfectly on the page as perfectly as it did in the anime.

Dragon Ball Super currently airs its English dub on Adult Swim during the Toonami programming block Saturday evenings at 9:30 p.m. It is also available to stream on Funimation and Amazon Video. The Japanese language release of the series is complete, and available to stream on Funimation, VRV, and Crunchyroll.

If you want to catch up with the English dub, the first 52 episodes of Dragon Ball Super are now available to stream on FunimationNOW, VRV, and available to purchase on Amazon Video as well. The 52 episodes span the full range of what has aired in the North America and covers the "Battle of Gods" arc, "Revival of F" arc, the "Universe 6" arc, and bringing the series right up to the current TV airings of the "Future Trunks" arc.

The first Dragon Ball Super film is set to release this December in Japan, and it has just released its first trailer. The film will focus on the Saiyans, the "origins of Goku's power," and potentially the story of the very first Super Saiyan. Not only does it aim to be the best film in the series, original creator Akira Toriyama will be contributing to the film's script and character designs. Fans will get their first look at the new film during the Dragon Ball North America Tour, as well.
