The Location Where Frieza Died and Returned - 「復活のF」Trivia #001

The rocky wasteland where Frieza and his father landed many years ago and being ultimately killed by Future Trunks seemingly played a role in "Resurrection F". Let's take a deeper look in the screenplay of the movie!

As I recently could finally find "Volume F" which includes the screenplay of the movie written by Akira Toriyama I sometimes go through and find some interesting details. Let's get started with the first one: The Location Where Frieza Died and Returned.

So far I didn't expect that the location where Sorbet, Tagoma and the Pilaf Gang summoned Shenlong had a special meaning. However, on page 31 of the volume I found the following line, just mentioned after the a short dialogue between Piccolo and Gohan:

未来のトランクスにフリーザが倒された地。

Which would translate to:

On the soil where Frieza was defeated by Trunks.


Means, they actually went to the exact same place to revive Universe 7's emperor. Interestingly it was not mentioned in the movie, Dragon Ball Super Episode 19 or Toyotarou's manga adaptation at all.

So, was it a coincidence that they went to the same area? Or did Sorbet know that you get revived at the same place that you died? Did he even had data of that exact spot? It all more or less states that Frieza was still alive at the moment he was cut into pieces and Shenlong brought him back in the exact same state and seemingly also location. Interesting stuff, it answers one question and opens another. 


There are more details in that volume, next example comes soon!
