Dragon Ball Super: Black Frieza Saga Could End Hiatus with Epic Return

by

Summary

  • Black Frieza is Dragon Ball Super‘s most powerful transformation, achieved through intense training.
  • Frieza’s black coloring is symbolic of his power exceeding gold; but higher forms could still come later.
  • While the return of Dragon Ball Super remains unknown, speculation surrounds the potential Black Frieza Saga.

The popular series, Dragon Ball Super, remains on a break for now, but fans eagerly anticipate its comeback to launch the much-awaited Black Frieza Saga. In this saga, we’ll witness the return of one of Dragon Ball’s greatest villains, Frieza, in his most powerful form yet.

Though fans are yet to receive updates about the series, it’s likely that Black Frieza alone could spark excitement anew among viewers once it resumes. However, what makes this storyline so promising?

Who Is Black Frieza in Dragon Ball Super?

In simpler terms, the character’s strongest known form is Black Frieza, which was introduced during the Granolah storyline. He attained this transformation after training for a period of ten years inside a Hyperbolic Time Chamber, where time passes differently.

On the Grain World, Gas (who had been previously awakened) met his end at the hands of Vegeta and Goku, two characters who had engaged in some of the most formidable battles within the storyline up to that point. However, it remains unclear just how vast Black Frieza’s powers truly are; as reported by the magazine V-JUMP, where the series DBS is serialized, his power levels are so immense they can’t even be quantified.

Why Is Frieza’s “Ultimate Transformation” Black?

Fans often found it peculiar that Frieza’s most potent form is black, with some suggesting platinum or diamond would be more fitting. Artist Toyotaro explained this choice by stating that black signifies a status above gold; for instance, a black credit card typically surpasses a gold one. However, it’s still possible for Frieza to eventually evolve into forms like Platinum or Diamond (or perhaps even a form stronger than Black).

Will The Next Dragon Ball Super Arc Be About Black Frieza?

To date, Toyotaro has yet to disclose any details regarding the upcoming saga; all we know is that a new storyline is imminent. Interestingly, Black Frieza was depicted on the rear cover of the latest issue, and Toyotaro hinted at revealing more insights about this character in the near future.

After wrapping up the Super Hero Saga, fans can’t wait to find out who the next adversary will be. Back at Jump Festa ’25 (December 2024), Toyotaro unveiled a sketch of Black Frieza, and now he continues to hint at him. With limited information available about Black Frieza, fans are increasingly intrigued by the possibility of a Black Frieza Saga, where we’ll get to witness his full potential in this new form.

Giving Black Frieza as the next adversary would provide an intense challenge for the characters, one so great that they might need to unleash even stronger forms. This could only be achieved if the team collaborates effectively to bring him down. Such a move would not just offer an exciting battle but also conclude the break in a spectacular manner.

Nevertheless, certain enthusiasts propose that the Black Frieza Saga should serve as the last storyline. If the manga resumes with this arc, there would likely be much speculation that DBS is nearing its ultimate conclusion. Although it’s plausible for such a formidable adversary to be the final one, it’s worth noting that Dragon Ball Super could persist beyond Black Frieza, but this continuation might disappoint some fans.

When Is Dragon Ball Super Returning From Hiatus?

It’s unfortunate that we don’t have any solid details suggesting a comeback of Dragon Ball Super anytime soon. Some enthusiasts are hopeful it might return this month, but realistically, it appears quite improbable. However, rest assured that the manga is not getting canceled according to Toyotaro. Perhaps the next issue of V-JUMP will provide more insights about the series.

Dragon Ball Super manga is available to read on MANGA Plus in English and Spanish.
