General Predictions
Broly will appear in this arc
Given that Granolah has history with the Saiyan race, and how we still haven't seen Broly since his titular movie, it makes sense for this Saiyan to finally return.- The movie had Frieza having plans to use Broly for his revenge, and if Frieza is going to be a part of the story, that plot thread has to be remembered.
- Jossed. Broly doesn't appear or is even mentioned, but Frieza does.
The Namekians originated from Universe 6
Chapter 69 of the manga revealed that the Namekians didn't originate from Universe 7—in actuality, they moved there. The only other universe that was confirmed to have Namekians was Universe 6, so it's possible that this is where the Namekians actually came from. Granolah, somehow, will recognize Goku as Bardock's son
I don't know how, but he will.- Jossed. Monaito tells Goku, Vegeta, and Granolah who Bardock is; Vegeta's the one who tells Goku that Bardock is his father.
The dragon will not grant Granolah's wish
That wish will be beyond his power. However, Granolah will then ask how to become the strongest in the universe, and that answer will be granted. Because, as Elec puts it, knowledge is power.- Jossed. He grants Granolah his wish, but at the cost of his life span.
- Jossed. Elec sacrifices 73 to the Cerealian Dragon so that he doesn't have to give up any of his life span.
The story arc will end in Age 783.
Granolah only having three more years to live looks to be an important thing to take note of moving forward. Because of that, the story arc could have a Time Skip in the middle of it, much like the Androids Saga before, so there could be real stakes for Granolah—not to mention finally jumping out of Age 780.- Jossed—the story ends in Age 781, a few months after the arc began.
This story arc will segue into another story arc focusing on taking the fight to the Heeters
Granolah will no doubt learn that he's been deceived by his employers, and he could possibly set his grudge against the Saiyans aside and team up with Goku, Vegeta, and their allies to take the Heeters down for good.- Jossed. The Heeters took over the antagonist role as soon as Monaito told Granolah that they're the ones who killed his mother.
Goku and Vegeta will fight Black Frieza in Age 791
Frieza mentioned that it took ten years of training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to achieve his new form. Assuming that Goku and Vegeta need that same amount of time training to reach his level, it could mean that the duo will only be able to fight Black Frieza ten years after the end of this arc. And since the arc took place in Age 781, this means that Goku and Vegeta will probably fight Frieza's new form in Age 791. This could also give Super a new endpoint, as Goku's fateful meeting with Uub will take place in Age 784, seven years before he reaches Frieza's new level.The Heeter Force will gain a new leader
After Frieza's first death at the hands of Future Trunks, the Frieza Force continued to operate under new leadership, albeit much weaker than when Frieza was around. With both Elec and Gas killed by Frieza, and Oil and Macki joining his army, the Heeter Force could similarly gain someone taking the helm. This could range from another member of the Heeters' race, or a bounty hunter that worked for them under Elec's command. Black Frieza, like Golden Frieza, had its colors chosen by choice.
When Golden Frieza was introduced Frieza chose gold rather than it simply being what a new form naturally looks like in order to mock the Super Saiyan transformation. When trying to find a new form Frieza wanted to make his form unique to demonstrate that it's better and more distinct than the various colors of the different Saiyan transformations. Since almost every color was already taken he decided to go with a Greyscale of Evil to show that his transformations are oh so original and distinct from the Saiyan's transformations. Knowing the pettiness of the character, him making his form the color it is to prove a point would be in-character.
