'Dragon Ball Super' Manga Makes Big Changes To Frost

Universe 6's Frost was one of the more interesting new additions to the Dragon Ball franchise. Although he was revealed to be as crooked as Freeza in the Universe 6 arc, the character really made a name for himself in the Universal Survival arc.

But while the character didn't accomplish much (other than having the honor of being the first and only character to break the Tournament of Power's rules), Frost has undergone major changes in the Dragon Ball Super manga and had a strong run in the tournament.

Chapter 34 of the manga has just released, and the Tournament of Power is underway. But as the start of the tournament in the last chapter showed, things in the manga don't play out in the same fashion as they did in the anime. While Freeza and Frost team up in both the manga and anime, Freeza betrays Frost and eliminates him. Angry, Frost tries to retaliate from the stands but is erased by Zeno for trying to interfere and breaking the rules.

In the manga, Frost does a lot more under Freeza's wing. Following Freeza's orders, he eliminates both Krillin and Tien from the tournament. Then after trying to eliminate Master Roshi gets rough, he and Freeza turn their attention to other universes, with Frost eliminating much of Universe 9 himself. But then, Freeza betrays him here as well.

But it's not by promising to power up and show Frost another level of power (and then blasting him away), Freeza just simply pushes Frost out. Frost takes is easier too, as he's not angered enough at the betrayal to get himself erased. These new moments for Frost are neat and it's just one of the many reasons Dragon Ball Super fans should look into the manga version.

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.

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 FunimationNOW and Amazon Video. The Japanese language release of the series is complete, and available to stream on FunimationNOW, 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.
