The image features not only Frieza, but Beerus, the villain from last year's Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods. The magazine also confirms that the film will premiere in Japanese theaters on April 18 in both 2D and 3D.

In an interview with original creator Akira Toriyama in the magazine, he says that the 'F' in the title in fact stands for "Frieza," who will be revived in the film. Toriyama noted that he thought of the title while listening to the song "F" by Band Maximum The Hormone, who he came to know personally through a friend. In fact, one of the members told him that they had been singing the song about Frieza.

The magazine describes the story:

 

An Earth where peace has arrived. However, remnants of Frieza's army Sorbet and Tagoma (from the Japanese word for 'egg') arrive on the planet. Their goal is to revive Frieza with the dragon balls. Their dastardly wish is granted, the "F" that plans its revenge against the Saiyans is revived...!

Oh so you don't know for sure if he trains or not. Well i guess we'll find out huh.

Character traits, my boy.Freiza is a proud, confident, and arrogant man. He believes his current abilities and powers would be suffecent as per his overwhelming pride. Now, you would say: Vegeta is even more overconfident, but he train's!". The difference is that Freiza thinks he is superior to those "filthy monkies". He would see it as defeat to train, because it would damage his pride and the ideal that his current skill level would be enough to defeat the "dirty monkies", coupled with the fact that the Saiyan gene pool drives Vegeta to train, and Freiza is a spoiled brat.

This is great news! Frieza is probably the best villain the series has ever had, and he deserves to have the spotlight again after getting one-shotted in his last movie apperance and uh... you know... GT... blegh. I think he might have some unfinished business with Beerus, too. I smell a fight coming.  You guys suck. Frieza > Cell for life.Also, Smash, don't ever suggest we repeat an idea from GT ever again...  Uh, no, he's gonna be fighting Goku, Beerus, among others, pretty sure he'll be strong enough.   Couldn't happen. Cooler isn't a canon villain. Also, he's a one note fodder compared to his brother.

They would have to jack him up to a huge level (great enough to be unsensable to the Z Fighters if he were to vanish) or change his character slightly to make him less of an overconfident brat.

No, they'd just have to jack him up to a huge level and not change his awesome character at all.

I said jack him up, or change his character. Not both. Anyway, I'm not too happy with it myself.

I just dun see how the revival of Frieza would force Goku and Vegeta to use fusion against him. Like, do they really give Frieza that much power?

I know what you said, but they don't need to change his character, just give him a power up.

 

You're never happy any anything anymore, squirrel boy.

Nobody said anything about Fusion.

It was but an option, not the thing they will do.I'm happy with things, I'm just critical as well. We've seen Freiza a whole lot, and every time he was eccentially fodder except in the fight on Namek. I think something new would have been better.

I'd prefer just keeping his personality with the power up.

 

Yeah, I know he's been fodder in recent appearances, but this is a chance to make him cool again. What's wrong with that?

Nothing, but I have this habit of chuckling when I think of Freiza. Dr. Gereo was able to make fighters who could have tore him apart, and he is just a crazy scientist.

Just you wait. Lord Frieza is gonna make his comeback.

Not 100% sure how I feel about this, I mean I like Frieza and everything, but damn, stay dead would ya

You can't trust anybody to stay dead in DragonBall.

Then there's hope for Cell yet...

Yeah, but screw Cell, Frieza all the way baby. I'm beginning to sound like a broken record.

If I remember correctly, the only time he was revived in canon was as Mecha Frieza. So yeah, these "he's been brought back too often" arguments are pretty irrelevant.

There's the "God" aura around Frieza in the poster. Very interesting...

Ahhhh, good eye. Didn't really notice that. Hints of what's to come maybe.

Can't wait for this. Loved Frieza.

Frost Demon God?

Did we time travel back to 2004? After Pokemon Ruby/Saphire and Digimon Adventures, Frieza returns, too. His saga was one of my favorites

Maybe we'll get Jak 3 HD ReMix. That would make my day.

i dont really follow DBZ but im prettry sure Freeza is supposed to be dead

The Dragon Balls were used to resurrect him. Its a pretty common thing in DragonBall. lol

Damn...I was hoping they'd come up with an original villain.

An actual EVIL GOD character rather than the cop out we got with Whis and Beerus characters as villains.

Besides...doesn't Beerus mention there are A LOT MORE GODS OUT THERE?

 

So yeah.....I can see the logic behind bringing back Frieza for like the tenth time.

Second time. He's only been brought back one other time in the series canon.

Yeah but this movie isn't canon either....

Last time I checked, it is, just like Battle of Gods. Toriyama's leading both projects, if I'm not mistaken.
