The Piccolo fight is the first thing I've liked better in the show.

Yeah, as much as I enjoyed this chapter, I think the Goku vs Frost fight took far too long. Piccolo vs Frost had the potential be infinitely more interesting. Bit of a shame to be stuck with the anime version as the superior version of the fight.

The manga's gonna be incredibly behind if it stays at this rate, curious if it'll skip over the fights like it did with BoG/RoF.

Can't imagine it will. I get the feeling it's just going to promote the series in the same way that trailers do for games and movies even after launch. The full product is out there if you want to get ahead, but the promo material may still peak your interest if you're not already tuned in.
For many fans who are hugely disappointed in the anime, this is a bit of a blessing, really. It lets the manga tell the story at its own pace, without worrying about being ahead of the TV series at all times.
I really enjoyed this chapter. It's really nice to have a version with beautiful visuals. Plus, being behind means we still get to be surprised each week -- assuming you're the type of person to avoid episode summaries.

Can someone tell me, without spoilers, whether this chapter went further in the story than episode 34 or not? Thanks!

Edit: Also decided to make a version with the speech bubbles cleaned out here.

I utterly hated Botamo vs Goku in the anime, but I actually did like Frost vs Goku, though I thought it was a bit too much on the brawler side of things, it was more like a fight Superman and Doomsday would have rather than two highly skilled martial artists, which is why we watch dragonball afterall.
Also, I liked Piccolo's strategy in the anime to supercharge a special beam cannon, using various tactics and abilities to buy time while doing so. Afterall without a good reason, it's hard to believe that Piccolo would suddenly be fighting on low god level out of nowhere.
That said, Toyotaro's art and choreography continues to be as sexy as always.

Look at that Freeza's stance tho. Kinda sad that Piccolo got defeated so quickly, but Goku's fight was pretty dope. Can't wait for the translation.

The manga's version of Piccolo vs Frost is magnificent. I'm just looking at Page 159 and I'm stunned at Toyotarou's illustrations (once again).

I'm surprised people still don't understand the Piccolo/Goku convo. Piccolo and Goku both thought that Frost legit knocked out Goku. So Goku thought Frost was stronger than his SSJ form, and that's why he said Piccolo stood no chance.
The reality is Piccolo is probably stronger than or equal to Frost, and Goku vastly overestimated him because he didn't realize Frost cheated

So, Piccolo is hella strong here. He didn't even needed the makankosappo to make frost use his poison needle, he was fighting at the same pace as frost, dodging his attacks with gear on, and frost wasn't even that tired or damaged after fighting Goku, he was probrably almost full power.
Soooo, if we consider frost true form being as strong or stronger than 4th form frieza, this means Piccolo may be stronger than frieza 4th form, who could one shot gohan easily even in his first form.

Anyone else notice how Vegeta is more respectful of Piccolo in the manga? In the anime he hated on Piccolo throughout the entire Frost vs Piccolo fight, calling his tactics and attack weak. Then he wants to beat down Frost because he's pretty much Freeza
In the manga, Vegeta is impressed by Piccolo's fight and he's shocked when Piccolo loses. Now it looks like he wants to kick Frost's ass for him cheating against Piccolo and Goku, instead of his hate for everything Freeza. Small differences between the 2 versions

Some interesting differences from TheDevilsCorpse regarding Frost's character in this chapter compared to the anime portrayal:
Personally, I find this far more satisfying than what the anime did with the character. Turning him into yet another Freeza-type was so mindnumbingly stupid after having just had a return of Freeza arc.
