Dragon Ball Super: This Could Be The Real Reason Why Frieza is in The Tournament of Power


While the trailer for the next Dragon Ball Super episode focuses on Goku and Vegeta's brawl against Jiren, let's not forget that there's still one Universe 7 fighter still in the Tournament of Power: Frieza. Some fans still believe that the most sinister member of Universe 7 has a greater purpose in the tournament, and many are speculating that he will eventually betray Universe 7 and make his wish with the Super Dragon Balls if they ever win the whole competition.

However, a Redditor shared a different theory, claiming that Frieza's presence in the tournament will make Jiren realize and respect Goku after finding out their history. You can read the whole theory below:

This makes a lot of sense, especially after learning about Jiren's backstory. Even though his past is considered to be a cliche, there's a lot more to his character than what many seem to have realized. We already talked about how Jiren is a foil to Goku's character or the possibility that he might surprise everyone in the tournament. Seeing Frieza being a foil to the evil entity in Jiren's past would make a deep contrast that could possibly change Jiren perspective just like how Gaara's heart was changed after fighting Naruto.

Dragon Ball Super is set to air on Crunchyroll Saturdays at 7:15 p.m. CST. Toonami still airs the English dub of Dragon Ball Super on Adult Swim Saturdays at 9:30 p.m. It's also available to stream on FunimationNOW and Amazon.
