Despite his name, Freeza does not seem to be able to keep his cool, especially when confronted by his arch-nemesis Goku, as expected in the next episode of "Dragon Ball Super."

The latest issue of "Weekly Shonen Jump" manga magazine has been released in Japan and contained spoilers for the anime adaptation of "Dragon Ball Super." Freeza will not only unleash his wrath against Goku but also towards Zarbuto and friends. Zarbuto will be paralyzed, but even he is shown no mercy by the tyrannical alien.

This rumor is taken from the translation of user @Herms98 for the synopsis for episode 118 of "Dragon Ball Super." Apparently, Frieza was infuriated by Goku's energy blast, the same one which knocks out Zarbuto and company. This means that Freeza may be back into the fight once again after joining the sidelines since he wanted to watch Goku fight Kefla. Freeza's penchant for bloodlust, however, means a lot of trouble for the weaker fighters since he is expected to toy with them before outright killing them.

The fleeting team-up between Goku and Freeza against Zarbuto's group is speculated to end when Goku uses a Kamehameha wave to finish the fight. Many believe this will be the reason for Freeza's anger, as he would normally prolong his enemies' suffering. As such, after Goku's move, fans expect Freeza to attack the Super Saiyan since the latter "took away his toys." His abrupt turning on Goku is apparently not against the rules, as there are none in the Tournament of Power overseen by the Omni-Kings.

While this puts Goku at a disadvantage, fans may finally get a good Goku vs. Freeza battle, similar to that of "Dragonball Z." At this point, however, it is still too early to say since the next chapter of the manga will not be available for at least another week.

Meanwhile, fans can expect the brewing trouble between Goku and Freeza in "Dragon Ball Super" when the English dub airs on Saturday, Nov. 25, on Adult Swim at 10:30 p.m. EST. Those wanting the original Japanese version with English subtitles can catch it on the same day on Crunchyroll at 6:15 p.m. EST.
