[edit] Frieza vs. Freeza?
When dealing with the anime, the FUNimation spelling should be "Frieza Saga" as this article was before. However, we have already adopted the name "Freeza" for the spelling we use for the name of the character and it does not make sense to have them spelled differently. Of course, the term "Freeza Saga" does not just apply to the anime, so the manga spelling is okay. This is tricky, but I'm leaning towards consistency. We could go the other way and rename them both to "Frieza", but that breaks the almost consistency we have with using the manga names for the characters. Any thoughts? JRP 01:21, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- I vote for consistency with the manga names (although I havn't read any of the manga), as they are the original. So I believe Freeza is the better (and more consistent) choice. BCKILLa 08:26, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)

- I have modified all instances of Frieza to Freeza except in the chapter list. -- ReyBrujo 02:53, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jumped the Shark?
I'm a little offended at the suggestion that all episodes after the Frieza saga have jumped the shark. This phrase basically states that the Cell and Buu Sagas were "passed their peak" and has "lost the charm of the earlier episodes." This is entirely PoV as I, and many others believe that the later sags were just as good if not better than the earlier ones. Do you think this section should be removed? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.39.167.126 (talk • contribs).

I removed the comment, it was complete pov. I've never heard anyone say that the show "jumped the shark" following the events on Freeza (on the contrary, Goku's first-time SSJ transformation is one of the most popular moments in the show.) --GeneralDuke 02:46, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Tone
The article is too detailed as to how the saga develops. The tone is familiar, like:
Through the battle, Piccolo controls the upper hand. But not for long. Freeza transforms again, nearly tripling his power level, This would be the second transformation but third stage.
In bold the sentences that add nothing to the section. This part could be shortened to Although Piccolo controlled the battle, the situation changed once Freeza transformed himself. -- ReyBrujo 02:53, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Why wikify this saga in particular?
As of June 29, 2006, this article is tagged for wfycation, while no other DBZ sagas are. Does anyone know what the particular objections to this article are? (Knowing that would certainly ease the wfycation process.) Is it just that it's too long? Consider that this saga is close to double the length of most other sagas in DBZ. -- Byakuren 16:23, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
- The Plot summary has 16 wikilinks in over 1700 words (rough count with regexp). I think that qualifies as needing some wikilinks. I don't mean it needs 1000, but at least wikilink terms associated with the plot, in example, "third stage", "power level", "fusion", "Kaio-ken", etc. Imagine for a second you know nothing about Dragon Ball, how are you supposed to know what a "Super Saiyan"? If the other articles are missing wikilinks, please tag them as well. -- ReyBrujo 17:29, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
- Excellent, I'll put in some wiki-time later... Anyting else, other than internal linking and some trimming? Thx! -- Byakuren 19:57, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
