If you choose to defeat Frieza, a special message from Toriyama will appear. It reads, "In this continuation of Dragon Ball Super, a strong version of Trunks comes from the future, barely escaping with his life. The future should have been peaceful, so what on earth has happened?! There's a strong enemy that even Trunks isn't a match for, Goku Black!(You can probably imagine him from the name.) A battle crossing over time and space will begin between all of the gods, including the Supreme Kais and the Gods of Destruction." Then, a logo will appear for the 30th anime anniversary of Dragon Ball, along with a message saying that the Future Trunks arc will begin airing on June 12.

Also, searching for “フリーザきせかえ” (Frieza Kisekae/Custom Frieza Screen) and “トランクスきせかえ” (Trunks Kisekai/Custom Trunks Screen) will give you search background themes of Freiza and Future Trunks respectively. Seven images of Trunks were drawn especially for the occasion.
