New footage in the OP. If someone were new to the series, they'd have a TON of spoilers. Completely new ED but I liked the old one more. Trunks makes an appearance at the end of the episode and will most likely own Freeza next episode.

Finally, I'm dying to hear Kusao Takeshi-san's new voicework for Trunks after all those years. As a rabid Trunks fan, this calls for celebration XD

EDIT: just watched it.

フリーザ: 何か御用のあるのか、地球人?
Freeza: what business do you have, Earthling?

トランクス:お前達を殺しに来た!
Trunks: I have come to kill you all!

I almost squealed like a fangirl <3

Wow, the VA's acting really have changed after all those years; Kusao's Trunks is now more Saionji-ish or Krad-ish in nature from this one line that I heard, but it still makes the fangirl in me squirm with excitement XD

Love what they did with the music when Freeza's dad picks up his mutilated son in space. Almost makes me want to see him be the villain again rather than the androids.

We all know that Toriyama originally intended Dr.Gero and that blobby white android to be the villains but did he ever intend mecha freeza to last longer than he did?

Here he is folks, the man we've waited for so long!! And Im not talking about freeza or King Cold. :P

Though his original entrance was way more badass.

i liked the old ed better; but they've updated the op; so freeza and father are on earth and are they in for a rude awakening!
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures

Saionji-ish or Krad-ish?! I dont understand DX

I can't wait for the next episode, Trunks is just pure awesome. Yeah regards to the OP's do the animators only expect old fans to watch this? I'd be annoyed if I was a new watcher >.> oh and somehow Gohan looks pretty cool in the OP

I meant Saionji (Revolutionary Girl Utena) and Krad (D.N. Angel) whom were also voiced by Trunks' seiyuu. I meant that Kusao-san this time around had made Trunks sound more confidant and maybe a little bit more cruel like those two.

And you thought that you'd be able to do anything you want Freezer... Yeh right!!! Man the coolest intro of the whole saga just happened!! Hohohoho I'm so happy seeing this... Just when the poor Freezer was brought back to life with a miracle... I think that he should have stay just were he was, at home and not defy the Saiyans again... To bad he had to be so prideful and had to fight him again... Well I guess he'll be toasted next chappie

Vegeta + Bulma is awesome!!! Yandere guy is really cute!!!! And much more in a pink shirt hahahahaha... Dude those two are great and they're really funney! But I wonder why she wants him.... is it just because she wants a Saiyan since she lost the chance with Goku... But is it because he has that... you know... or is it for another thing? XD

Trunnnnnnnnnnks (or "trunkeshi")!
I feel the same way about Trunks! I'm glad he's here (no way he'd be replaced!)!

Edit: Oh yeah, Vegeta looks fabulous ;)

Looking good there Vegeta; but you know that with how buff he is not many people would harass him for wearing pink.

And Trunks is here!

Man one of my favorite parts, Trunkz is just super baddass lol. And he's not as dumb as Goku to let the greatest villain walk and have a chance to kill the earth from space.

One thing I hate is though, that Goku is stronger than Trunks at the moment. Freaking Trunks was a super saiyan at the age of 6(?) and Goku became a Super Saiyan on the age of 20-30+ something. This is 12 years later, and future Trunkz STILL isn't stronger than past Goku, that is BS. GT ruined it even more, when Goten grew up and was super weak.

new ep materials shows actually the flaws in the new saga, while in the frieza saga SS were rare, as the saga go more and more getting this ability, and gohan goes for SS2, though that's the big flaw of db in general - once something rare achieved, it's not rare anymore.

gotta love bulma taming vegeta, and more hints for their relationship, while yamcha gets more cold feet for being weakling, bulma doesn't deserve him.

and here one of the favourite parts of the anime - future trunks!

Frieza is still alive? And he has a dad lol. Of course he wants to get revenge because Goku beat him in their epic battle. So they arrive on earth to confront him, but he hasn't come back yet
