Frieza Saga

Frieza

- We get Piccolo been brought back to life, brought to Namek and then fusing with Nail before battling against Frieza in his second/"King Cold" form.

Sadly, even this isn't enough to bring the tyrannical ruler down and Frieza reveals that he has another transformation before beginning to transform.

- However, rather than just standing there and watching Frieza become his third/"Xenomorph" form, Piccolo decides to act; using his magic materialization to summon a bottle and a talisman - or a least the paper and pen needed to write one.

(After all, if Piccolo can use his powers to summon clothes and a sword for Gohan, I'm sure he can do this).

- With that set up, and Frieza (in mid transformation) jokingly asking if Piccolo is writing his last words before putting them in the bottle and throwing it into space for someone to find and read (although Krillin realizes what Piccolo is about to attempt after seeing it at the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament), Piccolo sets the talisman on the bottle before activating the Evil Containment Wave.

(This is something Piccolo does know, as he has his father's memories of the technique and even created a counter to it during the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament to entrap Kami).

Still in mid transformation, Frieza is caught up in the wave - with Krillin instructing Gohan to join him in giving Piccolo their energy as this technique can kill you. As such, with Krillin and Gohan giving Piccolo their energy while Dende holds the bottle steady at Piccolo's command, Piccolo is able to successfully trap Frieza inside the bottle before sealing it.

- With Piccolo exhausted, Dende gets to work on healing him - successfully saving Piccolo's life. When Vegeta asks about the technique, Krillin explains the evil containment wave and how it works - along with warning not to break the bottle or remove the talisman or Frieza will escape it.

For Vegeta, he picks up the bottle and has an evil smirk on his face - since while he couldn't kill Frieza, he now has the Emperor as his "prisoner, which proves somewhat cathartic after all the years he had to suffer under Frieza's rule.

- Question is, with Namek spared and Frieza sealed away rather than been killed, how would the story play out?

Would things still play out in a mostly positive way, with Vegeta still settling with Bulma, Future Trunks showing Goku Super Saiyan so he can still achieve it later and King Kai maybe suggesting about going to Yardrat to get stronger so the timeline mostly aligns with what we know?

Or, will Piccolo's entrapment of Frieza in this situation lead to more dire consequences that derail the Dragon Ball Timeline badly?

Curious to see what you guys think.

This DBZ fan-art is a drawing of Goku's 1st victory over his arch-nemesis, Frieza, the evil emperor. In the episode, Frieza Defeated, Frieza was cut in half by his own deadly energy disk, which left Goku the winner of their fight. In this drawing, Goku stands over the defeated Frieza, who's been cut in half. To quote the narrator:

"At last, the mighty Frieza has been derailed. Cut down by his own deadly attack. Could this truly be the end of Frieza?" Enjoy.
