King Kai also claimed “most of the 5 minutes were up”. Either time physics work differently when talking, or King Kai couldn’t tell how much time was passing on Namek.

[@The_Blue_Otaku]

Yeah Frieza did say 5 minuets and it took 10 episodes for Nammik to explode But... in Dragon Ball Z Kai a streamlined version of DBZ made in 2011 and it Redubed all the somewhat mid english dub originaly from the late 90s also DBZ Kai removed 75 to 80% of the filler so it's 2 and a half episodes instead of the original 10

[@justinalicea1590]

The correct answer is "talking is a free action." In the Tournament of Power, there is a ton of talking. Only 2 minutes pass each episode, or at least in later episodes. So yeah. It is pure BS.

[@Mauri.El.Creador]

@@justinalicea1590 This is something I learned playing Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid, in both cases time is a construct for the storyline, but not the time you experience playing the game. Otherwise it would be insane.

[@user-nx2os5wo4x]

Thx for sharing bro, rly good observation. The whole talking doesn't fit any theory, and the 5 minutes can therefore not be considered potentially true or realistic as it was shown in the anime. Period

[@tacticallemon7518]

I always assumed the “5 minutes” was three separate things 1) Freiza under estimating (like you said) 2) A discrepancy between his perception of a minute, and namek’s perception of a minute 3) Everything slowed down for the audience

This is actually the best explanation I think I have ever heard about the nature of "five minutes". Freeza is all about wanting to inspire fear and doubt in his opponents, and making "five minutes" out to be merely a boast to cover up his error in attempting to blow the planet up works wonderfully. Brilliant video.

[@user-nx2os5wo4x]

Not at all, since Frieza is completely unable to beat even a hardcore distracted Goku at this point, coz of the official stated power difference, you can look after it, in just 5 minutes, and after around 5 minutes Goku would recognize that it was a false statement. This "ecplanation" is jut poor headcannon, which hardly fits the lore and definitely false in terms of logic...

[@leviword9573]

Well it’s a good explanation of a theory but DBS completely disproved the idea of its longer than the stated time. For example the tournament of power, is 45 minutes long, and yet the anime episodes equal at least 12 hours. No way you will argue it took 12 hours.

[@KidHowren]

this theory is really funny to think about because it means Goku is such a chad that in 40+ minutes he never once tries to call Frieza's bluff or question why the planet hasn't blown up. he literally doesn't care

Frieza didn't know how much time it would take for the planet to explode, he just threw out some random number of minutes to put the pressure on Goku. If he really wanted to, there would've been nothing stopping him from blowing up the planet for real then and there with a second energy blast (or retreat into outer space), but he chose not to because his ego wouldn't allow it. When he made the 5-minute bluff, he still had his 100% power form to resort to to put up a better fight against Goku. He was probably banking on beating Goku with his full power form and then getting out before the planet would explode, instead of getting caught in the blast in mid-battle.

@@herrdoktornapy6835 its exactly right the gods exactly sevt the time up its all just happening at the speed of light

[@basicallysubhuman8823]

Actually, the tournament of power can have multiple episodes being played simultaneously and it does roughly line up with the 48 minute time frame given. Any discrepancies can usually be explained by the fact that, by the time the tournament of power starts, Goku is able to move at quintillions of times the speed of light without even needing to transform at all. So what we see is, as that Seththeprogrammer clip said, slowed down for viewing. It’s even incorporated into the show with the god pad that Zeno uses during the tournament that allows him to watch it like a video and slow down or speed up the playback and rewind/ fast forward it. After all, the whole thing was ultimately set up just to entertain Zeno.

[@snyperwulffgaming9575]

I think a lot of the fights shown were all happening at roughly the same time. I watched a youtube edit of the tournament of power with all the fights happening in real time and it was roughly just about 48 minutes in length.

The idea that someone *doesn't* know who he is just didn't occur to him at first, so once he does realise, he goes about making a statement for this new world he didn't know about. Note that he gave enough time for Gohan to escape, that I feel was entirely on purpose. You only need one person to deliver a message after all. In the end, gunboat diplomacy is still diplomacy.

This is probably the most logical and well rationalized concept for this heavily berated scene from DBZ. Everyone makes fun of how long that fight got dragged out for. Deep diving into Frieza's character and fighting history even goes an incredibly long way toward proving this idea. I really can't find any faults with it and so this is now my reasoning as well for explaining the incontinuity of what was said in the anime. Other previous reasons I used was that everything was happening faster than the show was portraying (as mentioned in the episode) or that different beings and races had different measurements for time. But even those were just a stretch to put logic to something that just didn't make sense. So thank you for this very well laid out analysis that truly does explain everything in a nice neat package. Awesome job MatPat

[@danielbrugovsky6018]

Nah man, the anime just caught up to the manga, so Toei had to draw out the arc. And that's a fact.

[@spyros_s]

Also don't forget that toriyama was heavily influenced and inspired by ancient Chinese history and buddhism, so this theory is actually quite reasonable.

[@randallflagg3700]

Where I don't agree with Matpat, is that Goku tells Freeza (while he's powering up to 100%) that he (Freeza) must really want to try out that ultimate form of his against the Super Saiyan, otherwise he would have just thrown another death ball into the crater he'd made into Namek. Freeza smirks at that and keep powering up. The frost demon indeed miscalculated when he threw the first death ball, but that could have been rectified immediately; instead, he decides to take on Son Goku in his "big muscles" form, that he and Frost try on again during the Tournament of Power.

[@KnightofFunnyJunk]

I think its hilarious how in that 5 minutes, Goku still let Frieza power up to near 100%, gave him energy out of pity and still needed to find Frieza's ship
