In Volume F we find a few more details about the hell where Frieza is hanging in a cocoon on a tree. And even differences between manga and anime/movie. What could be the reason for that?
As I finally acquired "Volume F" last year which includes the screenplay of the movie written by Akira Toriyama I sometimes go through and find some interesting details. Last time it was about the location where Frieza got back to live. Let's continue with the next one: The Forest of Frieza's Hell!
"Frieza's Hell", first introduced in "Resurrection F", is displayed as huge flower garden with a tree in both the movie and the anime. However in the promotional manga for the movie as well as in chapter 32 of the Dragon Ball Super manga, you can see more trees in the background, at least five more. But why is there a difference?
If you look at the very first line of the screenplay on page 28 of "Volume F" you may find a hint about what could have happened there. It says:
森に囲まれたお花畑。
(もりにかこまれたおはなばたけ）
English: A flower garden surrounded by a forest.
That's what it literally sounds like and seemingly Toriyama's visual description of how the "hell" should look like. However, for unknown reasons in the animated versions it looks rather like a tree surrounded by a flower garden. Or are there more trees, but just so far away that they are not visible?

| Frieza's hell in chapter 32 |
Interestingly enough, he keeps this version consistent. As seen in chapter 32 when Goku visits Frieza in hell, we can still see two more trees in the background.
So are there more villians on other trees? As I haven't played the story of Dragon Ball FighterZ I'm not actually aware, but as I read it's seemingly implied that Cell, Nappa and the Ginyu Force may also went to that hell.
Anyway, it's interesting to see these two versions of that hell, both remaining consistent in each respective medium.
