"I doubt I need an introduction, but just in case, I am the mighty Frieza, and yes, all the horrible stories you've heard are true."
— Frieza in "Namek's Defense"


Frieza (フリーザ Furīza) is the emperor of Universe 7, who controlled his own imperial army and is feared for his ruthlessness and power. He is the descendant of Chilled, the second son of King Cold, the younger brother of Cooler, and the father of Kuriza. Frieza is the catalyst antagonist of the entire franchise, as it is his actions that led to Goku arriving on Earth. He has made several comebacks since his fight with Goku on Namek, including multiple invasions of Earth. Recently, he has been chosen to represent Universe 7 as the tenth member of Team Universe 7 for the Tournament of Power as a replacement for Good Buu. This makes him the most recurring villain of the Dragon Ball series. After the events of the Tournament of Power, he is revived and recovers his title as Emperor of Universe 7.

Frieza is the main antagonist of the Namek, Frieza, Trunks, Gods of the Universe, and Golden Frieza Sagas. He is also the main antagonist of the Dragon Ball Z: Bardock - The Father of Goku special and Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’ film. He later serves as a villainous protagonist in the Universe Survival Saga and secondary antagonist in the DBS : Broly Saga.

Appearance

Frieza regenerated storyboard

Art of first form Frieza in the Resurrection ‘F’ original storyboards without any Battle Armor

According to Akira Toriyama, Frieza's design is an amalgamation of what he thought monsters looked like in his childhood.[citation needed] According to the Daizenshuu, Frieza was also inspired by Toriyama's second editor, Yū Kondō. According to Daizenshuu 2, Toriyama was also inspired to create Frieza due to the events of the Japanese economic bubble that had occurred at the time he was writing the Saiyan Saga, with Frieza specifically being based on real estate speculators, which Toriyama claimed were "the worst sort of people".[6]

Frieza is one of the villains in the series who possesses an entire range of transformations, each one being quite different than the others. It is implied by Vegeta and Frieza himself in the series that Frieza's fourth, most powerful form is actually his original form, with the other three being forms that suppress and conserve his enormous power. Frieza later confirms this while fighting the main protagonist, Goku. His forms seem to revolve around both western and Japanese concepts of demons.

According to an interview done by Shonen Jump with Toriyama, Frieza's final form was purposefully made to look small and less menacing: Toriyama wanted to go against the expectation that villains and monsters become bigger and meaner looking the stronger they are.[citation needed] In his first form, Frieza usually wears battle armor with a purple chest plate. When in his true natural form and also his golden form, Frieza wears his race's ultimate Bio Suit, the Z Fighting Suit. When in his Mecha form, his body is equipped with a permanent Cosmic Suit. In the Universe Survival Saga, he has a halo on his head due to being dead, although this is removed after the tournament due to Whis restoring his life for "good behavior".

Ideal Boss Frieza

A series of stamps promoting Dragon Ball Super showed "Ideal Boss Frieza", some depicting the tyrant wearing a black tuxedo with a white undershirt and a red tie. Frieza wears this outfit in the Society Survival Saga.

Personality

"Oh, to see the Dragon Balls turn to stone at the very moment your wish might have come true. Quite a pill to swallow, eh, Vegeta? Of course, even more so for myself. As a matter of fact, in all my years, I have never been so angry as I am now. How incredibly irritating not to have seen the writing on the wall... now you pay! You vile, filth-sucking maggots! You will rue the day you crossed my path! Prepare yourself to face oblivion!"
— Frieza to Vegeta, Gohan, Krillin, and Dende in "Frieza Closes In! Mighty Porunga, Grant Our Wish!"

FriezavsVegeta03

Frieza enraged after losing his chance for immortality

At his core, Frieza is an evil being who relishes in pain, death, destruction, fear, and power. Though unlike most primary antagonists, Frieza displays a civilized and refined demeanor, talking with a regal and eloquent nature. In the Japanese versions, he even utilizes the Keigo dialect, which utilizes extremely respectful and formal phraseology. He tends to handle most situations with a methodical approach. He commonly utilizes dark humor, making twisted jokes and tasteless mockery of his foes before killing them. Frieza is fully aware of his reputation for brutality, and makes no effort to deny it, but rather revels in it as evidenced by his introduction to the Namekians. Likewise, he has shown great anger at the idea of his cruel deeds being undone, such as the revival of all his previous victims from the Dragon Balls. Frieza can be best summed up as an intelligent, composed (for the most part), yet extremely sadistic and completely heartless sociopath. His final form's character biography in Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 states that Frieza has unparalleled cruelty. He has even been commonly referred to as "The most evil guy in Universe 7". In Cooler's Revenge, Goku, when condemning Cooler, noted that Frieza was "filled with hatred."

While Frieza himself never attempted to kill either his father or brother during his lifetime, and will work together with them to deal with threats to their family's reign (as shown in the Trunks Saga, Plan to Eradicate Super Saiyans, and Xenoverse 2), he has hardly any real love or attachment to them, and even scoffs at the notion of reviving his father when Sorbet suggested it in both Resurrection ‘F’ and Dragon Ball Super. This is further shown when Universe 9 Supreme Kai Ro asks why Frieza would willingly betray Universe 7, asking him about any memories or loved ones Frieza may have, Frieza only coldly dismisses him, saying he has no idea what he is talking about, causing Ro to label Frieza a psychopath when discussing the possibility of Frieza joining Team Universe 9 with Sidra. While he has no real love for his family, he is proud of his clan and respected his father during his lifetime, as he took his father's warning about never opposing either Beerus or Majin Buu seriously. While they can work together, Frieza and Cooler have a strong sibling rivalry, and it is implied that they would at some point have come into conflict over control of the universe were it not for Frieza's defeat on Namek. In Dragon Ball Super: Broly, he is shown to be mildly annoyed when his father affectionately pats him on the back when they are on Planet Vegeta, showing his general dislike for affection, even from his father.

Frieza is shown to be something of a perfectionist, expected nothing less from his soldiers as any failure in his eyes will be met with extreme punishment if not death. Even more, he has absolutely no qualms with slaughtering his own forces, no matter how loyal they were to him, simply just for being in his way, as seen from when he destroyed Planet Vegeta despite most of his men being within the trajectory, as well as his reason in the Japanese version for executing a soldier before deciding to personally deal with Future Trunks. In addition, in Resurrection 'F', when executing Tagoma by shooting him out into space, he also made no attempt at activating the secondary window to save his forces from being sucked into the vacuum of space (with only Sorbet doing so). He also reacts violently to criticism or if his plans either fail or if his pride is abashed.

Frieza DBZ Ep 86 002

Frieza mercilessly beating Vegeta

At his core, Frieza relishes glory, power, agony, dominance, control, and destruction, as he shows in his enjoyment of Planet Vegeta's annihilation, as well as his maniacal glee from destroying planets and making his enemies suffer before he kills them. He is noted as being one of the most sadistic, callous, brutal, selfish, short-tempered, despicable and megalomaniacal person without any sympathetic or redeeming traits. Even more, he has an outspoken disdain for such joyful environments. Due to these combining traits, Frieza is more of a malignant narcissist rather than just a psychopath. During his imprisonment in Hell, he found his constant company of stuffed animals, fairies, and angels joyfully and cheerfully danced with playing music to be absolute torture, which ultimately turned out to be a fitting eternal punishment for the evil tyrant. Frieza holds a very deeply cynical view of others, believing everyone is as selfish and untrustworthy as himself. Ironically, Frieza is outspoken against any and all forms of nobility, finding it such a nauseating concept. When Kikono states that the Frieza Force are criminals, Frieza retorts by saying that they merely overtake planets to sell them to those who need a new planet, and that it's simply business, demonstrating how he makes excuses for his malicious crimes and feels no responsibility for his actions.

Frieza's actions have greatly influenced Universe 7's perception of his race, as shown in Xenoverse when a heroic member of his race named Reso says his race being evil is a misconception. Future Zamasu notes in Xenoverse 2 that the Frieza Race is not well-liked, which again is likely due to Frieza and his family's evil actions. Frieza's amoral and selfish nature, even towards his own kind, could be seen when he met his Universe 6 counterpart, Frost. During their first meeting, they seemingly took a liking towards each other, as they both lived for conquest and destruction. Frieza even points out they several things in common; this leads to Frieza and Frost forming an alliance. Ultimately, however, once Frost outlived his usefulness, Frieza betrayed Frost and eliminated him from the tournament. By that time, Frieza openly views Frost as an amateur, presumably due to Frost's reliance on deception and sneak attacks. Frieza has been shown to have a strong influence over people, commonly corrupting them and bending them to his will over a long period of time. The two most notable examples of this corruption are Vegeta and Tagoma, who both drastically changed in demeanor due to Frieza.

Perhaps Frieza's most noteworthy trait is his enormous ego, matched only by his malice and power. Because of his high opinion of himself, he tends to react to any given situation quite evenly. Accordingly, Frieza is quite confident in his abilities, commonly referring to his foes as lower life-forms such as insects, and often cherishes the opportunity to mock them (e.g. not using his limbs in some fights). For much of his life, Frieza was viewed as among the most powerful beings in the universe. As a consequence, Frieza believes no force can challenge his authority. Owing to his arrogance, Frieza generally refrains from fighting his foes. Instead, he relies on his minions to deal with challengers, and only personally confronts his opponents when forced to do so; this is best shown during the events on Planet Namek and after his first revival. Overall, Frieza seems to simultaneously possess a superiority and inferiority-complex, as he can quickly be driven over the edge in anger when foes prove able to overpower, or even rival him. At the same time, Frieza possesses a competitive nature, enjoying a foe that can endure his power. As an example, he "congratulates" Goku for being able to hurt him in his true form.

Frieza arguably desires absolute control more than being viewed as the most powerful being in the universe; this may be illustrated by the events on Planet Namek, as by that time he already controlled around 70% of the universe. By time he fights in the Tournament of Power, he shows little fear around deities and angels. In fact, he slights Zeno, going so far as to address him simply as "Zeno" without the royal title "lord"; later in the said tournament, he even refers to the deities as "colorful brats". In said tournament, he was annoyed by how Zeno and his future counterpart so casually destroy entire universes, whilst vowing one day to overthrow both Zenos. This serves to show that even Frieza's genocidal nature and love of destruction has its limits; that perception is supported by the fact he tends to only destroy on a planetary scale, and usually resorts to such extreme measures only when he believes them to be necessary.

Given his ceaselessly opportunistic and unrepentantly malicious intentions, Frieza knew the Tournament of Power was the perfect chance to manipulate deities and use them to his advantage. When confronted by assassins hired by Sidra and Ro, he ignored Goku's pleas and slaughtered them. Further, Frieza offered his services to Universe 9 if they would revive him. The deities in attendance were disgusted by Frieza's lack of loyalty to his own universe. Ro noted Frieza's detached and destructive nature showed him to be even better-suited to serve as a God of Destruction than Sidra.

Despite his evil nature, Frieza can be quite gregarious towards people who treat him with reverence, such as the Ginyu Force, who worship Frieza and exhibit extreme loyalty towards him. In Xenoverse 2, both Beerus and Whis note Frieza's charisma. Frieza is perceived as a capable leader. In the Frieza's Spaceship rift, it is implied he has a unique leadership style, through which he allows his subordinates to fight amongst each other in an attempt to get in his good graces. However, Frieza has shown mercy towards some of his fighters them by giving them second chances; one example is when he allows Dodoria and Zarbon to live after they are defeated by the Future Warrior (who was working undercover at the time). However Frieza rarely shows mercy, and such mercy is generally a one time thing, as he admits he never gives them more chances. Frieza's leadership style favors the strong, and the in-fighting keeps his soldiers on their toes. Accordingly, his leadership effectively weeds out the weaker members and motivates his staff to become stronger in order to protect their positions, rank, and lives.

Frieza ensuring his revenge on Goku

Following his crushing defeat on Namek, Frieza became obsessed with taking his revenge on Goku and his friends. Frieza's desire for vindication is so all-consuming that he is determined to exact revenge by destroying all his nemesis holds dear. Frieza also apparently suffered from a form of PTSD, as he sees hallucinations of Goku, which frightens him. The mere sight of Future Trunks in Super Saiyan form made Frieza noticeably shake in fear, struggling to recompose himself. However, by the time of his first revival, Frieza overcame his trauma, again firmly confident in his capacities. To that end, he smirked at Kale ascending to her Legendary Super Saiyan form (and in the manga even expressed complete confidence he could beat her).

For all his arrogance, Frieza does not totally disregard potential threats to his rule, to the point of paranoia. Frieza destroyed nearly the entire Saiyan race once even their low-level warriors showed strength comparable to his elite soldiers. The Saiyans' growing strength made him concerned about the possibility of a revolution, and added to his nagging fear of the Super Saiyan legend. Similarly, after his humbling defeat against Goku on Planet Namek, he willingly admits he cannot defeat certain foes, as shown by his refusal to fight Beerus or Majin Buu. Likewise, Frieza is willing to help others defeat common foes. For example, in the Tournament of Power, Frieza repeatedly aided Goku in his ultimate defeat of Jiren, a mortal warrior with power beyond a God of Destruction.

Following the defeat of Majin Buu, Frieza's unwavering desire for victory is tempered by a newfound sense of humility and patience; upon learning of Goku's victory over Majin Buu, Frieza puts his revenge on hold to begin training himself, despite his open disdain of such a "lowly" task. Frieza's drive for supremacy ultimately allowed him to reach vastly greater levels of power, leading him to unlock a new Ultimate Evolution. However, this discovery only serves to bolster Frieza's sense of confidence and blind drive for revenge. Rather than continuing his training to master his new form, Frieza immediately rushed to Earth. Though it's possible Frieza was convinced he could defeat Goku before his lack of mastery over his new form would become a factor, his impatience becomes his downfall. While Frieza's calculating nature leaves little room for failure, he nevertheless prepared contingency plans, such as destroying host planets to defeat his foe, or using his followers to conduct sneak attacks. Ultimately, however, his execution proves sloppy. Nevertheless, his tactical skills are noted to be brilliant by Vegeta in Dragon Ball Legends, after witnessing Frieza enact a plan to eliminate Frost without having to transform himself.

By the Tournament of Power, Frieza's long period of mental training seemed to have returned him to his previous composed and self-confident self from before his defeat on Planet Namek. Additionally, he corrected his previous mistake and refined his Golden Form to absolute mastery. At the same time, he was shown willing to temporarily put aside his rivalry with his sworn nemesis Goku to aid him in the Tournament of Power in exchange for his full-revival. Still, when revived by Fortuneteller Baba for a single day, Frieza and Goku greet each other by punching each other in the gut, showing that while they are technically allies, their animosity towards each other remains. Frieza proved to be just as devious and scheming as before, playing mind games with his new "allies" by giving the impression he intended to kill Goku instead of helping him. To that end, Frieza also made it clear he would not take orders from Goku.

During the Tournament of Power, Frieza developed a measure of respect for Goku. For example, he showed gratefulness for Goku's naïve nature, and fought by the Saiyan Warrior's side to take down Jiren, in such perfect synchronization and understanding of each-other's techniques that it was enough to shock Vegeta. Similarly, Frieza acknowledged Goku's might, and was seemingly unsurprised by Goku's ascension to his Ultra Instinct -Sign- state. At Goku's request, Frieza willingly donated energy to the Universe 7 Spirit Bomb, even as Vegeta proved unwilling. Frieza even saved Goku from Jiren by giving the Saiyan enough energy to return to his feet, as he realized Goku's Ultra Instinct was the best chance of beating Jiren. Frieza also used it as an excuse to square himself of his debt to Goku.

As previously stated, Frieza proved to be a surprisingly capable tag-team partner during the Tournament of Power. While teaming with Gohan, the two were able to follow each other's lead and come up with an effective battle strategy on several occasions to eliminate troublesome opponents, with Frieza even admitting to enjoy working with Gohan and openly admires and compliments Gohan's leadership skills on a few occasions. This respect also appears to have extended to several other members of Team Universe 7 as well. By the end of the Tournament of Power, despite still openly as evil and selfish as ever, Frieza has came to respect Goku and his allies, amazed at their capacity and willingly celebrated with them for a little bit as well after being revived by Whis. His growing admiration for the Z-Fighters is shown with the happy flick of his tail at Goku's declaration that he will take him down if he does go back to his evil ways; implying the motivation for his inevitable showdown with Goku may have grown from simple-hatred to the spirited joy of being able to fight a warrior who he can regard as his equal, admittedly viewing Goku as "a rare breed" of fighter. In Broly, he expresses some disappointment upon seeing Goku being easily defeated by Wrathful Broly, appearing to actually expect Goku to win and then fight Frieza himself.

In Broly, Frieza also reveals that he no longer seeks immortality, for his experience in Hell has made him fear the prospect of being left crippled and with no way out. This is interestingly enough, one of the few instances where Frieza actually learns from his previous experiences. Similarly, he ordered one of his men to find out how to make a wish with the Dragon Balls of Earth, presumably to avoid a failure similar to that of Planet Namek, acting as another instance of Frieza learning from his past experiences. A third instance can be seen at the end of the movie, where, after being defeated, Frieza decided to just retreat from Earth for the time being rather than risk being killed by Goku (or rather, a fusion of Goku and Vegeta). At the same time, Frieza is still filled with vanity. As revealed by Berryblue, Frieza is sensitive about the height of his True form to the point that Frieza Force soldiers have been executed in the past for daring to call Final Form Frieza short. To which, he appears to have a rather casual relationship with Berryblue, and even allows her to comment on his short stature without killing her. More to the former, Frieza's insecurity of his height led him to to steal the Earth's Dragon Balls to increase his height. At the same time, valuing how people perceive him, Frieza refuses to revert back his weaker yet taller forms to satisfy his vanity. Even more, he planned to make a wish for his True Form to only gain 5 centimetres, so as to create the illusion that he was still naturally growing while anymore would look unnatural.

Frieza also showed an interest in Broly's power and potential for growth using Paragus as a means to control him at first. However, once Paragus had outlived his usefulness and lost the remote to the Broly Control Mechanism, Frieza, reminded of how Krillin's death triggered Goku's Super Saiyan transformation, decided to use Paragus' death to trigger Broly's anger through tricking Broly by claiming Paragus was killed by a stray blast. However, his plan backfires as Super Saiyan Broly blindly attacks him after Goku and Vegeta fly by Frieza as they escape to Piccolo's location. Frieza responds angrily to Broly's attack and tries to fight back in his Golden Form, but is no match for Broly's might. After leaving Earth in defeat, Frieza having learned that the defectors Cheelai and Lemo have joined Broly on Vampa, decides not to hunt them down hoping that they might tame Broly whom Frieza hopes may one day serve under him, apparently recognizing the Legendary Super Saiyan's potential. This is in contrast to his past fear of Super Saiyans that lead him to exterminate most of them as he seeks to make Broly his subordinate.

Frieza's end goal is to eventually defeat the Omni-Kings and rule above even them.[7][8]

Relationship with Frost

"Oh and though you probably already know this, there is one more bit of wisdom I would like to impart. And that is, you should never trust anyone ever."
— Frieza betraying "Frost in Frieza and Frost! A Mutual Malevolence?"

Frost and Frieza - DBS96

Frieza and Frost form an alliance

Due to the fact that Frost and Frieza are universal counterparts, they have several similarities and are nearly identical in many ways. When they first met each other, both of them smiled, with Frieza pleasantly surprised that there was another Emperor. The two Emperors conversed in private and presumably got to know each other, as Frieza noted they had several things in common. When Frieza asked if Frost would like to work with him, Frost said he would be delighted to do so.

Frieza fires a ki blast at Frost, knocking him out of the ring

In reality, Frieza did not care about Frost at all. This was proven when Frieza tricks Frost by teaching him to enhance his strength, only to blast him out of the stage point-blank. Subsequently, Frieza reveals he thought of Frost as an amateur, rather than a teammate. Despite betraying Frost in the Tournament of Power, Frieza ultimately shows some measure of respect for Frost, commending his counterpart for getting rid of the troublesome Universe 9 fighters.

Biography

Background

Frieza1

The young Frieza meeting the Saiyans for the first time in Broly

Frieza's father is a mutant with an abnormally high power level. Because of this, Frieza also possesses the mutant traits, making him and his father King Cold the only ones among the Frieza Race who possess the striking level of power and cruelty shown in the series.[9] Even among his family and the rest of his race, Frieza was a prodigy, whose natural growth in power required him to never undergo any real training and still ultimately became recognized as the most powerful warrior in the universe.[10] It is said that from the moment Frieza was born he was more powerful and cruel than his father, Frieza's overwhelming power and genius for evil led to Cold wanting to hand control over the universe to Frieza immediately.[11]

Thanks to his son's potential, Cold handed control over to him while he was still a child.[11] He was introduced to the Saiyans - who were informed by Cold that Frieza was their new master.

At one point, King Cold told Frieza that there were only two entities in the universe whom Frieza should never cross: Majin Buu and Beerus the Destroyer.[10] Frieza annexed the Saiyans into his Frieza Force, and heard of the legends of the Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan God. At some point in Frieza's past, he conquered at least 448 planets, taking control of 70% of Universe 7.

Frieza's power over the Saiyans

Frieza eventually met Beerus himself. The two got along fairly well as they both enjoyed destroying things. However one time Frieza got carried away and caused Beerus to get angry, Beerus fought Frieza and easily defeated the tyrant.[12] Unbeknownst to Frieza, his arrogant attitude annoyed Beerus. He thought about destroying Frieza once he saved Beerus the trouble of destroying Planet Vegeta himself, though never went through with it. At some point, Frieza encountered the Galactic Patrol and when they engaged him in combat he easily defeated them, thus the patrol decided that they should avoid Frieza at all costs.[12] Frieza had fought his parents in the past, and it had not been since these fights that he had ever had to dust himself off after a fight.

"Well, since the king saw fit to betray me, he died a traitor's death. But, his death wasn't nearly punishment enough. I say we carry out our contingency. If we don't, the primates may be galvanized by their beloved ruler's death into standing united against us. Not that it would do them any good."
— Frieza to Zarbon about exterminating the Saiyan race after King Vegeta's rebellion.

Frieza had many races under his thumb in his planetary trade, including the Saiyans. Gifted with natural fighting ability, strength and the ability to become stronger after every battle, Saiyans became powerful weapons in Frieza's subjugation of planets, though Frieza noted they were never entirely loyal to him due to their pride. However, these very abilities made them a liability to the paranoid Frieza, afraid that, if left unchecked, the Saiyans could either unite and overwhelm him, or one day provide a warrior to rival Frieza himself - such as a Super Saiyan or a Super Saiyan God. Due to this, and also due to a past meeting with the God of Destruction Beerus, who asked him to wipe out the Saiyans for him, he decided to wipe out the planet and its inhabitants despite his attendant saying that it would be a shame to waste such powerful warriors. He also ended up forcing King Vegeta into giving him his son, Vegeta, as part of their continued "cooperation", although King Vegeta secretly intended to betray Frieza before he could ever let him have his son. He also further taunted King Vegeta by implying that he didn't actually care if the latter was delayed in capturing Tazba before referring to the executed messenger as a "silly dope".

Frieza plans the destruction of the Saiyans

Frieza calls for the Saiyans to return to Planet Vegeta. On his ship, he is told of the Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan God legends by Kikono, who doesn't think the legends could be true. Frieza, however, doesn't think they should be overlooked, so he plans to destroy Planet Vegeta in one month's time since most of the Saiyans will not arrive until then. He then tells his subordinate to tell the remaining Saiyans that the planet has been destroyed by a meteor so the Saiyans won't suspect him.

Between Jaco and Dragon Ball Z

In the manga, Frieza killed King Vegeta without having to transform into his second form. Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta after a month had passed, as he had planned. Bardock briefly attempted to resist Frieza as he was about to destroy Planet Vegeta, however Frieza wiped him, the planet and the rest of the Saiyans out with a Supernova.

Frieza is informed by Zarbon and Dodoria about the Saiyans' growing power

In the anime, on Frieza's arrival to Planet Vegeta's orbit, King Vegeta and his men attempt an uprising both to end Frieza's reign and to rescue Prince Vegeta, but it ended disastrously with the King and his soldiers being slaughtered by Frieza with only a single effortless punch as Zarbon and Dodoria watch. Frieza suspected that other Saiyans would attempt to emulate King Vegeta's approach and commit a full-scale uprising, a suspicion confirmed when he was confronted by a charging Bardock, lunging through the fields of Frieza's men in defiance of the tyrant, and even goes as far as to fire a Final Spirit Cannon at him after giving a heartfelt speech declaring that the Saiyan race is done working for Frieza.

Frieza relishing the destruction of Planet Vegeta

The tyrant retaliated by laughing maniacally with delight as he prepared a Supernova to annihilate the planet. The attack consumes Bardock and some of his men as it buries itself deep beneath the planet's surface resulting in a massive explosion, eradicating nearly every Saiyan. After the planet's explosion, a story was fabricated to ensure the loyalty of the few remaining Saiyans Frieza had kept in his employ as a convenience: Vegeta, Raditz and Nappa. According to the story, a large meteor struck Planet Vegeta and destroyed it that very day. Another version of the story is that it was the benevolent guardian of Planet Vegeta, ashamed at the immorality of the Saiyans, who summoned meteors to impact and destroy the planet and the Saiyan race. Despite these stories, Frieza's destruction of the Saiyans is a rumor that Vegeta heard before the events of Dragon Ball Z, as shown in a flashback during the Frieza Saga (although this might be a form of retroactive continuity, as Vegeta seemed to be unaware of this until Dodoria's confession before his death).

At one point, Frieza destroyed an entire planet and the rebellious race who lived on it with a single gigantic energy ball that he fired from his index finger. Vegeta witnessed this event, which caused him to become scared of Frieza's power and put his plans to assassinate Frieza on a hiatus.[13] At one point prior to the battle on Namek, Frieza witnessed a conflict between Vegeta and the Ginyu Force member Guldo unfolding and blasted Guldo away with a weak Energy Wave as he wished to speak with Vegeta. Frieza then ordered Vegeta to come with him to conquer a planet that Frieza had taken a liking too.

Frieza with his top two henchmen, Dodoria and Zarbon

Twenty-five years after Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta, Frieza spies on Vegeta's scouter during the Vegeta Saga and in doing so, learns of the existence of the Dragon Balls on Namek. Planning to obtain them and make a wish for immortality, Frieza arrives on Namek with his longtime comrades and top two highest ranking henchmen, Zarbon and Dodoria, in order to try and obtain the Dragon Balls from the Namekians. After Cui and Dodoria fall to Vegeta, who had betrayed Frieza to collect the fabled items for his own ends, Frieza sends Zarbon and Appule to find the last two Dragon Balls while he returns with the other five to the ship. Frieza thinks that Vegeta most likely found a Dragon Ball, and is sure to come after the Dragon Balls in his possession. Frieza believes that when Vegeta does come, they’ll just take the two he has, and have all seven. Frieza lifts the five Dragon Balls off the ground telekinetically, and zooms off with them in his pod.

Frieza waiting in his spaceship

Later, Zarbon returns to the ship to tell Frieza about his findings. Frieza asks Zarbon if he’s found a village, but Zarbon says no, though he has defeated Vegeta. Frieza is relieved and asks if Vegeta is dead, but Zarbon says he didn’t confirm the corpse, but the odds are slim considering the severity of his injuries. Frieza asks why he didn’t confirm Vegeta's death, and Zarbon explains that he was underwater. Frieza figures that Zarbon neglected to confirm it because he didn't want to get his hair wet and that Vegeta could have found a Dragon Ball and hidden it. Zarbon says it was inexcusable and he’ll confirm it immediately. In the anime, Orlen arrives at the ship and says he’s found a village, but it’s already been destroyed and its Dragon Ball taken. Zarbon figures it must’ve been Vegeta and he did hide a Dragon Ball. Orlen lets it slip that he killed a survivor without first asking where Vegeta may have hidden the Dragon Ball, angering Frieza, who then kills Orlen without a second thought, zapping him with Eye Lasers as Zarbon watched in fear. Frieza tells Zarbon to bring Vegeta back to the ship, and he’d better hope he’s still alive or he'll follow Orlen's example.

Frieza orders Appule to summon the elite mercenary team known as the Ginyu Force

He orders Appule to contact Planet Frieza and have the Ginyu Force come here in five days with replacement Scouters. Zarbon freaks out and asks why he wants the Ginyu Force's help, and Frieza says he has a strange premonition. A strange feeling that a strong Saiyan exists somewhere in the universe and is destined to become his enemy. Frieza is unsure whether or not if it's Vegeta. Zarbon says if it’s not Vegeta, then it must be the Saiyan from Earth or his half-breed son, though they’re considerably weaker than Vegeta. Frieza asks Zarbon if he doubts his premonition, who hastily says no, and tells him to hurry and bring Vegeta before he loses his patience, and Zarbon quickly flies off. Frieza thinks to himself about the Saiyans having endless fighting potential, though they’re of course no match for him. But in the future, if they continue to sprout up, they could be really troublesome if one became a Super Saiyan.

Frieza.Ep

Frieza becomes furious due to Vegeta escaping and stealing all the Dragon Balls he had previously acquired

Zarbon returns to the area of the battle, locates Vegeta's battered body, and takes him to the rejuvenation chamber in Frieza's ship in order for Appule to heal him in the rejuvenation chamber for further questioning. Zarbon reports to Frieza that he captured Vegeta and that he is being healed for further interrogation. Upon healing, Vegeta blasts out of the tank and the explosion kills Appule. Zarbon and Frieza, having heard the noise, run to the treatment room, however Vegeta blasts a hole in the ship's wall as a distraction and hides. Concluding that he has fled, Frieza sends Zarbon outside the ship to find him. With his captors distracted, Vegeta excitedly races to Frieza's room where his five Dragon Balls lie unguarded. Zarbon searches the area near Frieza's Spaceship for Vegeta, but Frieza is impatient. He blames Zarbon for the Vegeta's escape and threatens to kill him if he is unable to locate the Saiyan. Realizing that he cannot carry all five Dragon Balls, Vegeta alerts Zarbon and Frieza to his location, then unleashes a blast in the hallway to obscure their vision. Vegeta then blasts a hole in a window and tosses all five balls outside before escaping just in time. Zarbon and Frieza are irate, and Zarbon again begins searching outside the ship to no avail. Zarbon desperately asks Frieza if Vegeta is still on the ship, but Frieza angrily blames Zarbon and says its his responsibility to find Vegeta. As Vegeta flees unnoticed, swimming in a nearby body of water, a furious Frieza says that he will search the ship's interior and orders Zarbon to search the surrounding area, promising to kill him if he does not capture Vegeta within an hour. Zarbon hurries out in fear, and searches for Vegeta, in order to avoid facing the serious consequences.

HP10

Frieza awaits the Ginyu Force

With him not returning within the hour, Frieza concludes that Zarbon has either been killed or run away, and laments not calling the Ginyu Force earlier. Large amounts of seismic activity begins, as an enraged Frieza begins shooting off beams of intense energy, while his henchmen huddle together in fear. A soldier informs Frieza that the Ginyu Force are in preparations to head to Namek, which makes Frieza relieved that he will finally get some results. Frieza also concludes that Vegeta has not yet gathered all seven Dragon Balls, because he is still alive. With the new Scouters, Frieza's forces will be able to find him.

After a few days, the Ginyu Force finally land on Planet Namek and present themselves to Frieza with a set of absurd poses. Frieza is visibly discomfited by this display, but decides to quickly get down to business. He orders the Ginyu Force to capture Vegeta alive, so he can be interrogated for the Dragon Balls location. Captain Ginyu uses his Scouter and says that Vegeta is travelling with two other people. Frieza thinks that they must be Gohan and Krillin, and says that the Ginyu Force can do whatever they want to them. Jeice gives Frieza a box full of the new scouters that he had requested. With their orders set, the Ginyu Force fly off to pursue Vegeta. Ultimately, they fail to do so when Goku arrives on Planet Namek and fights them, eventually defeating them.

Ginyu did bring Frieza the Dragon Balls while his comrades fought, with Frieza complimenting Ginyu on his job well done, and saying how he should have sent for them much earlier. Ginyu then attempts to commemorate the event by performing a dance, but Frieza tells him to do it another time. Frieza then attempts to summon Porunga, but had no success, coming to the conclusion that they needed some special password only a Namekian would know. While searching for the secret to unlock the power of the Dragon Balls, Frieza finds out that three Namekians are still alive by checking his scouters. Ginyu then offers to go, but Frieza tells him he will go himself, telling Ginyu to stay at his post, then he speeds towards Nail and Guru, passing by Dende at the same time, yet ignoring his presence, finally arriving at Grand Elder Guru's home where he is confronted by Nail, the strongest of the Namekian warriors on the planet. Nail leads Frieza away from Guru, and fights Frieza.

"I never imagined that there would be a fool who’d dare to challenge Frieza! I applaud your overconfidence, sir! Of course, I’m sure you will quickly regret not simply revealing the secret of the Dragon Balls... When you have to gasp it out in agony!"
— Frieza, in "Nail, Champion of Namek"

NailChopsFrieza

Frieza fighting Nail

As the battle commences, Nail attempts to fight and lunges for his neck, but to no avail, as Frieza grabs onto Nails arm and violently rips it off his body. As Nail screams in pain, he quickly regenerates his arm, much to the surprise of Frieza. After a very long and tortuous battle, Frieza insists that Nail tells him how to summon Porunga, but Nail simply launches a powerful ki attack, to no success. Frieza then lands a blow to Nail's nose, while Frieza still demands Nail he tell him about the password. Nail begins laughing, telling Frieza his big mistake about letting Dende go and leaving the Dragon Balls. Frieza then leaves him to die after discovering the fight was a diversion for Dende to reveal the password to Krillin and Gohan as they take the Dragon Balls.

""Of all the short-sighted things you might have said, Vegeta. I dare say you've forgotten how vastly terrifying I can be. Here, let me refresh your memory.""

Vegeta vs Frieza First Form

Frieza at equal power with Vegeta

While flying towards his ship, he attempts to find the energy of the Ginyu Force, realizing they are not showing up on the scouter. Enraged, he follows in pursuit of the heroes only to find that Porunga, the Namekian Dragon is gone due to Guru's death. He confronts Vegeta, Krillin, Gohan, and Dende after Guru had passed away. He then loses his composure due to the loss of immortality and becomes even more enraged to the fact that he did not see this coming earlier. He then faces off with a much more powerful Vegeta, who is now capable of possibly holding his own for a bit against Frieza's strength.

KrillinPwndByFrieza

Frieza impales Krillin with his horn.

Spurred on by Vegeta, Frieza unveils his second form, to the complete shock of Gohan, Krillin, Vegeta and Dende, as the power not only increasing frightens them, but his appearance as well. With this newfound power, this allows him to defeat Vegeta. After Frieza uses the Death Storm attack, he takes his time to decide who should die first, and chooses Krillin. He injures Krillin by impaling him through the chest with his left horn and torturing him. He then throws him into the Namekian sea, taunting Gohan with his friend's limp body.

Fireza grabs gohan hair

Frieza grabs Gohan's hair and easily picks him up.

Gohan responds in an incredible fury and proceeds to pound Frieza with punches, kicks and a barrage of ki blasts. Frieza then proceeds to pummel him as a response, and just before he can finish him off, Krillin, healed by Dende, shoots a Destructo Disc at his tail, chopping the tip of it off. Frieza chases Krillin in a diversion and returns to the others when Frieza decides to finish them off. Fortunately, Piccolo joins the battle and is able to go blow to blow with Frieza thanks to his fusion with Nail. Frieza and Piccolo are at even power, neither one of them being able to gain a significant upper hand. Piccolo then powers up further, but soon confused and shocked when he sees that Frieza is able to surpass his new speed.

PiccoloVsFriezaNV02

Piccolo, standing near Frieza, who is about to transform

As the fight continues, Piccolo is revealed to be holding back because of his weighted clothing. Eager to demonstrate even more of his power to Piccolo, Frieza once again transforms, unlocking more of his seemingly endless power. Piccolo attempts to hold his own, but to no avail. He now tries to outrun Frieza, but Frieza's speed is simply too much for Piccolo. Frieza then brutally attacks Piccolo with his Crazy Finger Beam. Gohan again gets angry, and fires the Full Power Masenko, which Frieza struggles with, but eventually deflects back with ease. Piccolo protects Gohan by firing a blast at it, deflecting it away. Frieza notes Gohan's growing power, and realizes that he is a Saiyan, but doubts Vegeta is his father (he still believes that only Raditz, Nappa, and Vegeta escaped Planet Vegeta's destruction), and finally he unveils his true form, stressing that he intended to give his foes the "pleasure" of observing it before they died; in the anime, he promises to show them "a terror greater than hell".

"It would be a relatively simple matter to obliterate you all in my current form, but rather than do that, it will be far more satisfying to leave you with one final vision more terrifying than Death! Consider this my parting gift to you! A nightmare beyond even the horrors of hell! Witness my true, ultimate form!!!"

Frieza torturing Vegeta on Planet Namek

In his new form, Frieza first kills Dende, who Frieza had found out had been healing the heroes when he saw Dende healing Piccolo just before transforming into his final form. Piccolo, Krillin and Gohan attack Frieza, but Frieza easily dodges their flurry of kicks and punches. After receiving another Saiyan Power at his request, Vegeta announces himself as a Super Saiyan and fights Frieza, attempting to hit Frieza with an intense flurry of punches. However, Frieza's speed is still far too much for Vegeta to handle, leaving Vegeta in a quiet state of fear. With all his power, Vegeta fires a Final Burst Cannon at Frieza directly, but the tyrant is still far his superior and easily kicks the beam away. After Vegeta loses his hope, Frieza proceeds to torture and punish him. Frieza wraps his tail around Vegeta's neck, lifts him up and begins torturing him by repeatedly punching Vegeta's spine while strangling him with his tail. As Piccolo, Krillin and Gohan watch in horror, Frieza sadistically reminds them that they can assist Vegeta if they want to, as part of some sick joke.

"Come now, my boy, I can't have you giving up after such a glancing blow. No, Vegeta, I'm afraid that was but prelude to the horrid torment I intend to inflict on you. Keep your eyes open, dear prince, Hell awaits around the corner."

VegetaStrangledAndPummeled

Frieza pummels Vegeta

Just as Frieza is about to slay Vegeta, the healed Goku arrives on the battlefield, ready to fight Frieza. The long and devastating fight begins, with Goku dodging Frieza's first melee attack and lands a hard kick to Frieza's cheek, sending him flying. Gohan, Krillin, and Piccolo are shocked at Goku's intense power, remarking that they couldn't follow their movements at all. Frieza then tries to use the Barrage Death Beam to injure him, to no avail, as Goku simply deflects them away, even hitting them away from the others. Through a smoke cloud, Frieza believes he has already defeated Goku, however the saiyan remains standing unharmed after the smoke is cleared. Frieza is even shocked that he was able to move them away from his friends while deflecting the beams. Vegeta, believing that Goku has finally become a full-fledged Super Saiyan, taunts Frieza, even though he is too badly beaten to even stand. Frieza, proud of his past accomplishments and irritated, smirks before sending his Death Beam through the Saiyan Prince's heart. Teetering on the brink of death, Vegeta is able to tell the newly healed Goku of Frieza's genocide of the Saiyan race, imploring him to take revenge on behalf for all Saiyans. As Vegeta finishes his plea to Goku, he finally dies from his injury. Goku, saddened by Vegeta's death, buries him and vows to finish Frieza. Goku angrily reminds Frieza that he treats lives as disposable; he had taken the lives of many peaceful people, even children, for his own amusement. Goku then tells him that it's his turn to suffer this time. Frieza tells him that he believes the "Super Saiyan" is just a legend, however Goku doesn't care about the legend; he is going to stop Frieza once and for all. Krillin, Gohan, and Piccolo leave the area so that Goku is not distracted in the battle.

Crazy finger beam final form

Frieza firing finger beams at Goku

Goku and Frieza then engage each other again. In melee, they are proven to be equal in strength, with neither of them able to land any hits. Irritated by this even battle, Frieza fires an energy wave at Goku, causing him to dodge it by using a quick Kamehameha to push himself up into the air quickly. This causes a cloud of smoke, so Frieza then fires rays of death beams through it to blast Goku. Goku realizes that Frieza cannot sense him, but before he can come up with a plan Frieza flies above, spots him, and continues firing. Gohan is nearly hit by one of the beams, though Piccolo is able to get him and himself out of the way. Frieza manages to land a downward knuckle attack on Goku, and fires a wave at the falling Saiyan. Believing he has won again, Goku appears behind him, and they stand back-to-back. Frieza hides for a short time, and soon emerges from the water and attacks, firing a ball that Goku just barely throws away, after being pushed all the way into a rock formation. Suddenly, a huge spout of magma bursts out of the ground under him, and Frieza uses the dying planet's molten rock against Goku. Goku is hit by Frieza's tail and falls into the pool of exposed lava below. Piccolo flies over and declares Frieza tell him what happened to Goku, and Frieza responds with telling him that he has perished. He adds that he is creating a stew down there and asks Piccolo if he (a Namekian) wants to be added as seasoning.

Before Piccolo and Frieza can fight once more, Goku bursts out of the ground. His butt catches on fire for a short time (albeit in humorous fashion), but no further damage is done and Goku pushes the lava back into the ground with a Kamehameha to hold off the explosion of the planet for some time. Frieza tries to get the jump on him, but Goku is saved by Piccolo, who gives him an early warning. Goku urges Frieza to leave the planet alone during the battle, and so Frieza listens to him. Frieza realizes that his opponent defeated the Ginyu Force, and not Vegeta. Frieza uses the hiding tactic again, and it works on Goku, who is kicked into the ocean. Thinking back to the smoke cloud where Frieza could not detect him without seeing him with his eyes, Goku comes up with a plan to hurt Frieza.

GokuSurprisesFrieza

Frieza falls for Goku's distraction kick

Goku fires two Kamehameha torpedo balls and sets them in place underwater. Meanwhile, Frieza does not believe Goku to be dead this time, and waits for him to return to the surface. Goku, still underwater, fires the first torpedo. Frieza just barely moves out of the way, before Goku fires the second one. Frieza again dodges in the nick of time, and is enraged. Suddenly, Goku appears from above and lands a clean boot to Frieza's cheek (earlier, it was the right cheek, and this time it was the left). Frieza crashes into a rock formation upon hitting the ground, rendering the tactic a success. For a moment everyone believes the battle is over already, however Frieza bursts out of the ground, albeit now showing signs of minor damage. With this, Frieza admits that Goku is the first person other than his parents to cause him pain in his true form. Frieza decides to have some fun with him for causing him this "sensation". Frieza soon realizes that his opponent is the son of the Saiyan that gave him such trouble years before.

"It's been so long since I've felt pain... It's such a strange sensation. What a rare case he is."
— Frieza

FriezaTelekinesis

Frieza using his telekinetic abilities against Goku

Frieza and Goku's battle resumes, with Frieza moving some rocks out of the ground and launching them at Goku, however he dodges them with ease. Frieza uses his mind to control them however so that they keep coming back, forcing Goku to smash them and blow them up with an energy blast instead. Frieza steps it up a notch, this time picking up a whole mountain with his telekinetic powers and throwing it at Goku, all while laughing. Instead of dodging the mountain, Goku tries to hold onto it and stop it in its tracks. Goku is eventually pushed into another mountain by it, but Goku cuts right through the mountain and evades danger. Frieza uses the surprise tactic again and appears above Goku suddenly. Frieza traps Goku in a ball he creates, rendering Goku unable to escape. Frieza smashes him around like a soccer ball but prevents him from smashing into the ground, for the ball will explode if it is touched by anything other than Frieza himself. After some more bouncing around, Frieza finally blows up the ball, sending it and Goku smashing into the ground and causing a huge explosion.

Faceoffgokufrieza

Frieza and Goku face off before the next round

Minutes after the massive explosion, Piccolo realizes that Frieza is just warming up, and that he could destroy the entire planet if he wanted to. He also tells them that Frieza is just playing with Goku right now. Krillin and Gohan believe Goku to be dead in the aftermath, however Piccolo says that Goku is also playing, and he shows them Goku himself, standing tall and almost unscathed, albeit with damaged clothes from the explosion. Piccolo assumes that he had run fast enough to get out of the blast radius. He calls them both monsters - one good, one evil. Goku and Frieza meet up again, stare each other down and prepare for the next round of their grueling battle. Frieza gives him a proposition in his own native language, which the sentence he says translates to "let's get down to business". Goku agrees and both fighters decide to get serious. A stare-down occurs, and Piccolo tells Krillin and Gohan that this battle is to be decided for the fate of the entire universe - and only the three of them will have the opportunity to witness it. However, Piccolo hopes that he will get to do more than watch.

"You are a case, aren't you? Killing you is going to be sheer delight."

FriezaElbowsGoku

Frieza elbows Goku using 50% of his power

Frieza gives Goku a break and asks him whether they should fight on the ground or in the air. Goku chooses the ground, lying that he's a ground kind of guy, but he is actually trying to remove the danger of Frieza's devastating power in the air. Piccolo notices this very strategy when they pick their battle site. Frieza picks a small, flat island for the final battle to take place, and they both fly over to it. Goku removes his orange shirt while Frieza taunts him, asking if Goku would rather be buried or cremated when he is killed. Immediately after, Frieza gives Goku another break - he allows Goku to battle him without the tyrant using his hands. Jokingly, he says that he won't break his nails this way. A cocky and confident Goku asks Frieza if he's sure he doesn't want to use his hands in battle, but Frieza still agrees not to. After another stare-down, Goku lunges forward, and both fight in melee. Though Frieza cannot punch Goku, he easily dodges each of his attacks. After a lot of dodging between each combatants Frieza whacks Goku in the face with his tail. He then proceeds to slap him multiple times with the powerful tail. Frieza hits him hard one last time, sending Goku crashing to the ground.

FriezaGokuEp92

Frieza beating Goku.

After Goku recovers, both pause for a short time and Goku finds the battle exciting to him, yet Frieza asks him if he still believes he can somehow beat the tyrant. He lunges at Frieza and they go at it again, but Frieza still easily dodges Goku's attacks. For a short time Frieza resorts to blocking before breaking off. Goku attacks again but is wrapped around on the leg by Frieza's tail. Frieza throws him towards the ground but Goku lands on his hands, and pulls Frieza down with the force of the leg the tyrant gripped with his tail. Frieza lands but Goku grabs onto his tail, rendering Frieza unable to get away. Goku jokes about Frieza's poor hygiene, pouring him on. Frieza urges him to let go - and Goku does just that, and flings him into the air. As Goku flies in front to score a hit, Frieza disappears again. Using more rocks to distract Goku, he lands another hit with his tail to Goku's stomach, however Goku manages to grab Frieza's tail again. Goku jokes around again, saying that he's feeling a little deja vu, enraging Frieza even more. Frieza fights him off and goes on the offense, attempting to land kicks. After some more back-to-back even brawling, both land a kick on one another before dodging and blocking again. Frieza finally ends the scuffle by wrapping his tail around Goku's head. Frieza holds his tight grip, bringing Goku to his knees. Resorting to desperate measures, Goku bites Frieza's tail, releasing the tyrant's grip and causing Frieza sudden (though comedic) pain. This gives Goku his chance, kicking Frieza in the face and lands many punches to the tyrant's stomach. Frieza tries to dodge more but is punched in the face by Goku. He is then kicked in the groin and uppercutted. Frieza finally gets the upper hand with a strong right hand breaking the "no hands" rule and knocking Goku down. The aftermath leaves Frieza winded and Goku back on his feet.

Frieza5

Frieza reaches 50% power

Frieza soon reveals that he has been holding back this whole time, and could easily destroy Goku if he so desired. But before Frieza does, he asks Goku one question: if he would join him; it would suck if all of his power went to waste. Goku quickly refuses, but Frieza continues on, telling him that he can have anything he ever wanted - he could live like a god. Or, he could choose to suffer and die now. Goku tells him that he already has everything he wanted, and Frieza finishes by telling him he is going to die. He then tells Goku that he has only been using 1% of his power (anime only), and Goku believes this to be a bluff. Frieza then states that with 50% of his power, he could easily defeat Goku. Frieza then increases his power to 50% of his maximum, and Goku teleports behind him. Frieza prepares for battle, and elbows Goku in the face at immense speed. Frieza elbows Goku a second time, causing blood to fly out of Goku's nose, but the Saiyan stays on his feet. Goku is wrapped around the head by Frieza's tail again and is elbowed in the stomach. This time Goku struggles to stay up, and then falls to his knees. Goku is astonished at Frieza's incredible speed.

Frieza tries to block the Kaio-ken Kamehameha

The battle continues, and Frieza easily beats Goku, with Goku completely unable to keep up. Goku attempts to use his Kaio-ken x10 during this battle, but Frieza stills beats him using less than half of his maximum power. Goku then goes desperate and attempts to use x20 Kaio-ken and a Kamehameha, but to no significant avail (the best he could do was slightly char Frieza's hands), as Frieza manages to diffuse the blast with 50% of his power. However, he does become alarmingly aware of his opponent's remarkable abilities.

After taking another beating, a severely battered Goku attempts to create a Large Spirit Bomb by calling on the energies of Namek's solar system as a final resort, as Namek did not have enough life on the planet to make the Spirit Bomb powerful. Piccolo, Krillin and Gohan are able to distract the tyrant long enough, with Piccolo kicking him into the ocean and later Krillin and Gohan firing energy balls at him. Just before Frieza can vaporize Krillin and Gohan, Goku fires the large Spirit Bomb, heavily wounding Frieza.

Frieza retaliates by mortally wounding Piccolo with a Death Beam (in the manga, Frieza intentionally fired at Piccolo, while in the anime, Frieza fired at Goku and then Piccolo pushed him out of the way and took the blast instead). Frieza then uses his telekinetic powers to make Krillin fly into the air and, despite Goku's pleas, he murders Krillin. In the Japanese version as well as Kai, Frieza also proceeded to threaten to murder Gohan in a similar manner. Already bordering on the edge of his rage, Goku is pushed over the edge, his rage exploding, causing Frieza to inadvertently create what he had always feared: a Super Saiyan.

At a loss of words, Frieza could only stare at Goku unable to believe that Super Saiyans do exist. In the ensuing battle, Super Saiyan Goku and Frieza trade blows, but as the fight progresses, Frieza's 50% power clearly proves to be less than adequate against the Super Saiyan; even his Barrage Death Beam have little effect on the newly empowered Saiyan. Frieza attempts to remind Goku that the Saiyans were as ruthless as Frieza himself is in their barbarism, to which Goku replies that the Saiyans have "paid for their mistakes" now, causing Frieza to ask whether that was the reason he killed them easily.[14] Frieza fires a Death Beam in anger, however it simply hits Goku's chin and pushes his head upwards. He lowers his head with just a minor scratch.

"Exasperating to find you underestimated your opponent, isn't it? And that's yours truly at just 70%. Oh, but fear not... The grand unveiling is under way."

FriezaEp98

Frieza reaches full power

In frustration, Frieza sends a Death Ball into the core of the planet, starting a chain reaction that will destroy Namek in five minutes (revealing immediately afterwards that he held back too much of his power for the Death Ball to be a complete success). Frieza unleashes 70% and then 100% of his power, which Goku requested, wanting to fight him using all his strength. Goku also notes that Frieza wanted it this way as well, because if he had not, he would have fired at the planet again and destroyed it. At this point, Frieza launches a terrific assault against Super Saiyan Goku, who had not expected Frieza's power to be as high as it is, with Frieza notably landing a high knee to the face, giving Goku a bloody nose. In the anime, he also proceeded to give Goku a challenging enough fight that the latter was forced to fake his death to buy enough time to recover, with Frieza also briefly fighting Gohan until Goku arrived to continue the fight. In addition, after Goku let slip that Porunga was now active, Frieza then attempted to make his wish for immortality. Unfortunately for him, wishes to the Dragon required speaking in the Namekian tongue, with Dende instead managing to give the wish to evacuate everyone but Frieza and Goku, with Frieza also briefly witnessing a revived Vegeta. Frieza also ended up learning that Goku partly had the wish given in such a manner in order to ensure there aren't any more innocents nearby and thus not hold back.

Super Saiyan Goku soon realized that after sustaining so much damage in his 50% state, Frieza's body will no longer be able to handle his 100% power for very long. Super Saiyan Goku and Frieza face off and eventually, after a very long battle, Super Saiyan Goku gets the battle under his control, delivering a final momentous blow to the tyrant that symbolically ends Frieza's reign. Seeing Frieza's power slipping fast now, Super Saiyan Goku decides to call off the fight, claiming it would be pointless to continue, as Frieza is losing strength rapidly and Super Saiyan Goku had already humbled the tyrant.

"Simian...bastard...! (...) I am Lord Frieza. None surpass me... No one even comes close! Etch this into your skull; I am emperor of the universe; the likes of you are only fit to grovel at my feet! Or better still... to die... IN DISGRACE...!!! AT THE HANDS OF YOUR MASTER!!!!!!"

Frieza is sliced by his own attack

Humiliated, Frieza refuses to relent, attacking Super Saiyan Goku with two of his Death Saucers. As Super Saiyan Goku dodges the attacks, Frieza ironically becomes distracted long enough to be bifurcated by his own attack. Barely clinging to life, but desperate to survive, Frieza begs for mercy, which Super Saiyan Goku hesitantly provides, giving him a little of his ki. Frieza's pride refuses to allow him to be beaten and saved by a Saiyan "monkey", and he expends what little energy he has left to attack Goku. Overcome with anger, Super Saiyan Goku fires an Angry Kamehameha that consumes both Frieza's attack and what remains of him in the process, seemingly killing him and avenging countless people across the universe.

Frieza floats half dead through space

Unbeknownst to Goku and everyone else, Frieza was not killed on Namek. Frieza's shredded body floated in the planet's debris, kept company only by his thoughts of how the universe's conqueror had been thoroughly beaten by a lowly Saiyan. His father King Cold had crews search the area, not believing his son to have been destroyed by something as insignificant as the explosion of a planet. What could be found of Frieza is salvaged and reconstructed with cybernetic enhancements, leaving him scarred and bitter. Knowing he is now stronger than ever before, Frieza's first thought upon rehabilitation is revenge on those who defeated him on Namek.

Frieza and his father King Cold

Frieza beats Goku to Earth (despite his ill intentions towards Earth and all who lived there, Frieza notes It's a good planet on first viewing) and orders his henchmen to find and slaughter its inhabitants, with Frieza keen on killing his enemy's friends himself. However, his army is torn apart by a mysterious youth. Frieza dismisses his challenger as an insolent child, and pays him almost no heed until the boy reveals himself as another Super Saiyan. Even then, Frieza initially dismisses the boy's claim as a bluff and laughs it off, only to express shock when the boy proves his claim valid by transforming right in front of him and his father.

"Not that you merit the attention, but I am going to kill you myself. You should feel honored."

Mecha Frieza is slain by Super Saiyan Future Trunks

Dumbstruck, Frieza makes several different efforts to kill the youth, such as energy blasts, each of which is parried easily (this occurs only in the anime while the youth wasted no time and killed Frieza after a single attack in the manga. Also, Gohan implies that Frieza was holding back 50% of his power in the manga whereas the anime has Frieza going all out). He then plays his trump card in the form of a Supernova (a Death Ball ten times the size of the one that destroyed Planet Namek). Even this is nonchalantly brushed away, until a mortified Frieza causes it to detonate with another shot of ki. Thinking him dead, both father and son are stunned when the youth fires a Burning Attack out of nowhere. Fuming, Frieza becomes oblivious to his opponent's position, and is surprised and sliced in half by the Saiyan youth before being cut to pieces and then vaporized with an energy blast, King Cold meets a similar fate, with the youth obliterating him with the God Breaker when the tyrant tries to attack him. Despite this, the common myth throughout the universe remains that Goku defeated Frieza on Namek. In the alternate future timelines of Future Trunks and Cell, it is implied that Future Goku used Instant Transmission to teleport to Earth and killed Frieza and his father King Cold instead of Trunks.

Frieza and King Cold in Hell

Frieza makes numerous cameo appearances throughout the remainder of the series from Hell. His first (and most major) role was teaming up with Cell and causing trouble in Hell, along with King Cold and the dead members of the Ginyu Force.[15] Frieza and King Cold were the only two villains in this scene to not be thrown onto the Mountain of Needles by Pikkon; Pikkon knocked Frieza out with a single punch to the face after elbowing King Cold in the stomach. Then all seven were locked up in a prison cell. This was one of the rare times Frieza and Cell (two of the three main villains of the show) are seen talking to each other. Frieza and Cell would occasionally train together in Hell.[16]

For obvious reasons, he frequently rooted for Kid Buu to beat Goku. When Goku managed to gain his power back and obliterate Kid Buu, Frieza could only watch in silent irritation that Goku managed to win, and also thought to himself "why am I not surprised?".

Soon after Frieza suddenly finds himself alive once more, albeit in pieces, thank to Sorbet wishing to Shenron to revive him. Using his telekinetic abilities Frieza attempts to put himself back together, but quickly falls apart. Frieza is surprised at having been returned to life and glares at the Pilaf Gang. Sorbet and Tagoma collect the pieces of him and leave the planet. Sorbet places Frieza into a healing chamber and he is fully revived, taking on his first form whilst he remembers his first defeat due to Goku on Namek. Frieza awakens, shaking the ship and blowing up all of the scouters. Frieza emerges and talks with Sorbet and Tagoma, killing a soldier as he does so to test his power before killing Tagoma for talking back to him. Sorbet informs Frieza that Goku defeated Majin Buu, to which Frieza declares he will train for four months to surpass him.

Four months later Frieza invades Earth with his army of 1,000 soldiers. He destroys North City as a greeting and soon notices the Z Fighters arrival, he confronts them, asking where Goku is, only for everyone to be surprised as Bulma and Jaco arrive in a ship.

Mecha Frieza in Hell

Contained in a cocoon in Earth's Hell, Frieza dreamed of his defeats at the hands of the Super Saiyans, Goku and Future Trunks, but soon woke up to the sight of the Angels of Hell. However, over fourteen years after Frieza's demise, two of his men, Sorbet (commander of Frieza's army) and Tagoma (elite soldier), collect all of the Dragon Balls with the aid of the Pilaf Gang and resurrect him, and he is revived as he was just before his death, as Mecha Frieza and in pieces. Sorbet and Tagoma collect all of the pieces save for his right eye which is found by Pilaf, who hands it to Sorbet just as he and Tagoma are about to leave. On Sorbet's Spaceship they put the organic parts in a Medical Machine, Frieza's body is regenerated and he reverts himself back into his first form completely free of his cybernetics. As he recovers inside the chamber Frieza dreams of his first defeat by Super Saiyan Goku, and angrily wakes up, shaking the entire ship.

Frieza blasts Tagoma for his cowardly suggestion

He was then introduced to Sorbet and Tagoma while they explained to him how they brought him back to life and they could bring King Cold back to life as well, but Frieza suggested that there was no need for that, and suggested he would need to wait for his vengeance against the Saiyans. Afterward, he announces to his soldiers that he will not be satisfied until the Super Saiyans (Goku and Future Trunks) have both been killed. Tagoma then suggests that Frieza put his grudge against the Saiyans behind him and focus on reconstituting his empire. Angry at Tagoma's suggestion to leave the Saiyans alone, Frieza shot Tagoma with ki blasts instead of killing him, because he considered it boring to kill him quickly. Frieza is then informed by Sorbet that Goku's power has surpassed that of even Majin Buu, which is far more than Frieza could have imagined. But due to him being a prodigy, Frieza believes that through four months of serious training, he will be able to reach a level of power high enough to wipe out the Saiyans in the blink of an eye.

Tagoma Training with Frieza

Frieza trains using Tagoma

For the next four months, Frieza trained vigorously, sometimes using Tagoma as a training partner. During training sessions with Tagoma, Frieza would beat him within an inch of his life and then have him go heal up for the next days of training, allowing Frieza to both get stronger and master his torturing-type fighting style in order to allow him to fight Goku for as long as possible without killing him, in order to cause the Saiyan as much pain as possible.

After all that time passed, Frieza and his forces eventually reach Earth, and he gets excited about exacting his revenge on the Saiyans. As they are about to land, Frieza begins laughing gleefully at his chance at revenge. After landing on Earth, he fires a Death Beam at North City, completely wiping it out. Frieza then encounters the Z Fighters, who have gathered to try and resist him. Frieza becomes irritated upon realizing that Goku has yet to arrive when he recognizes Krillin as the person he killed on Namek. The tyrant scornfully remarks that the Dragon Balls can revive the powerful and the pathetic before receiving some scathing remarks from Bulma, who had never seen him in person until now. Bulma pleads for some time so that Goku to arrive, but he gives them only ten seconds. Not interested in fighting without his nemesis, Frieza has his army of 1,000 soldiers engage the Z Fighters. When Sorbet attempts to give orders to the soldiers, Frieza flicks him away and instead has the soldiers all aim for Krillin as a joke - offering a planet to whomever kills him.

Frieza Ginyu Sorbet

Frieza comments on Gohan's abilities as a fighter, noting with disgust that the boy shares his father's morals. As the fight draws on, Frieza dismisses his troops as a disgrace to his name and threatens to kill Sorbet as punishment for his poor leadership, prompting the diminutive commander to send Shisami into battle. The hulking warrior quickly pulls Gohan into a bear hug in attempt to crush him, but Tagoma blasts the duo from behind in an attempt to kill the enemy's strongest warrior. Intrigued, the tyrant then agrees to appoint Tagoma as supreme commander of his forces if he wipes out the Z Fighters. He then proceeds to watch the battle unfold until Gotenks arrives and injures Tagoma. Gotenks prepares to fight Frieza, only to defuse shortly thereafter. Frieza notes Goten's resemblance to Goku, and Trunks resemblance to Future Trunks, who had sliced him in half. He grows angry at how the Saiyans have multiplied and orders Tagoma to wipe them out.

Shortly afterwards, Frieza is approached by Captain Ginyu, who has switched bodies with Tagoma while he was feeling pain on the ground. The captain explains his hardships throughout the years from being swapped into the body of a frog to arriving on Earth to Frieza's return. Frieza is happy that Ginyu is alive and once more in his service, but is unimpressed by Ginyu's fighting pose and asks him to be useful and wipe out the Z Fighters. Frieza watches with glee as his faithful servant decimates the Z Fighters, noting that he is stronger than Tagoma was. However, Ginyu is defeated when Gohan transforms into a Super Saiyan, with Frieza expressing surprise that Goku's son was capable of obtaining the form.

Though Gohan decides to spare his opponent, Frieza recalls that this scenario is identical to the last part of his battle with Goku on Namek and snaps, flying down to the battlefield in his hover chair. Enraged, he dismisses Captain Ginyu and attacks Gohan with Death Beams while telling him to scream, beg for mercy, and run. After Gohan succumbs to his injuries and falls to the ground, Frieza attacks with a finishing Death Beam. Suddenly, Piccolo jumps in the way of Frieza's attack, taking the full brunt of the and protecting Gohan.

Frieza finds it very amusing when Gohan cries for Piccolo. When Bulma finally talks to Whis, he disallows Sorbet to kill her at the moment in hopes that she might bring Goku to Earth. When he does not come right away, Frieza allows Ginyu to fight and kill Goku's friends so that he can be entertained at the least, but then Gohan stands up to Frieza and powers up into his Super Saiyan form once more as a way to both protect everyone and raise his energy high enough to be detected by Goku. The power-up eventually tires him out completely, and Frieza once again decides to end his life.

Frieza begins to transform

Shortly thereafter, Goku and Vegeta appear on the battlefield, the former having used Instant Transmission to return to Earth. Goku quickly blocks the Death Beam before rounding on Frieza, the latter explaining how he returned to life whilst describing his excruciating experiences in Hell. He blames Goku for the suffering he had endured since their battle on Namek and states his desire for vengeance. Vegeta then kills Captain Ginyu, causing Frieza to recognizes the Saiyan Prince's increased strength, though he promises to kill him once Goku is dead. After talking about their recent training, Frieza decides to transform into his final form from the start to avoid making mistakes again and prepares himself to fight, his transformation vaporizing the rest of his soldiers in the process, leaving Sorbet as the sole survivor.

Frieza & Goku's Second Clash

Goku and Frieza begin their rematch

They start their fight on the ground after powering up and then power up again during close combat. Frieza actually thanks Goku for making himself train to fight him at this level, but then gets angry again after remembering the pain he's been through. He plans to kill Krillin and Bulma with Ki blasts, but Goku and Vegeta show up at the last minute and deflect them (Vegeta did this because Goku was pinned to the ground by Frieza at the time). They then resume their fight and take it all the way above the clouds. Frieza told Goku he attacked his friends so he can fight Goku at his angriest. After being beat around, Frieza fires a Golden Death Ball at Goku and he uses a Kamehameha to collide, causing an explosion.

After a Ki blast barrage conflict, Vegeta shows up and fights Goku, which impresses Frieza and he questions his loyalty to him, though Frieza fires a blast at the two and tells Vegeta that he wants to fight Goku first. After he became irritated by Vegeta's continuous clapping, the Saiyan decides to take on the tyrant himself, only for the two of them to negotiate for them to fight each other after Frieza kills Goku. In the manga, the two fight and Goku has the advantage. He then goes on to blast Frieza with a Kamehameha, prompting the tyrant to announce that he is going to reveal his further evolution. Frieza then witnesses Goku transform into his Super Saiyan Blue form.

Frieza after evolving into Golden Frieza

Frieza tries to knock out Goku from behind to gauge his power, but Goku catches this attack with his fist, prompting Frieza into finally transforming himself into Golden Frieza, despite his own warnings. After saying goodbye in advance, Frieza re-proceeds to fight Goku and he had the upper hand at first but Goku blocked all of Frieza's upcoming energy attacks which results in an energy clash that lasts a while and results in a blinding explosion.

As Beerus and Whis show up for their dessert, thanks to his new exceedingly high power, Frieza once again gains the upper hand against Goku and after comparing how long it took to reach their new forms, Frieza decides to kill Goku immediately and his friends too so that he won't be lonely in Hell. When he spots Beerus, however, he becomes frightened and frustrated that he might interfere, but Beerus told Frieza to do as he pleases. Frieza then decides to continue his revenge and kept pushing him further and further, leaving Goku exhausted.

Frieza then strangles Goku with his tail and punches him in the gut and head repeatedly until Goku bit his tail forcing him to let go, yet Frieza still had the upper hand and knocked him down again. He then explains again why he hates Goku for his actions back on Planet Namek and tries to kill him with his energy attacks but for some reason Goku kept surviving them all. They were almost interrupted by Vegeta, who wanted to kill Frieza for Goku but he insisted that he almost has him. Goku also warns Frieza about his form's downside but he ignores his warnings and decides to wrap things up, with both combatants using every last bit of power they have left. At first, Frieza seemed to be dominating again, not even allowing Goku to drown to death, until Goku's prediction started to come true: he burns more power and stamina than his body can supply and didn't regulate it before he decided to exact his revenge. Due to his massive drop in power and stamina Goku knocks him away with a forehead punch in the anime. Goku then suggests that Frieza leave so that they can have a rematch later, however Frieza signaled to have Sorbet shoot Goku straight in the chest with his ring. He then repeatedly kicks Goku and explains his weaknesses while doing so: his strength makes him careless. As he is about to kill Goku once and for all, Vegeta attacks and Frieza dodges his blast.

When Vegeta tells Krillin to give Goku a Senzu Bean, Frieza tries to kill him with a Death Beam but Vegeta blocks it and it ends up killing Sorbet. Frieza hardly believes that Vegeta could kill him now, but he too, turns into a Super Saiyan Blue, which frightens Frieza at first. Frieza tries to hit Vegeta with a lot of Ki blasts but he was never fazed by any of them due to Frieza having lost most of his power. After a bit of big talk, Vegeta beats up Frieza and the tyrant then reverts into his Final form. Before Vegeta could kill Frieza, however, Frieza blows up the Earth which kills Vegeta and everyone on it. Beerus and Whis state that Frieza survived the destruction thus is floating in space, preparing his next move.

Once back in Earth's Hell, he was forced to watch the Angels of Hell dance and sing while strapping a cocoon again, much to Frieza's chagrin.

Seeing Frieza terrifies Krillin as Frieza was one of the three villains that killed him, though Krillin is more terrified of the Tambourine illusion than either Frieza or Super Buu's illusion due to the Mutant Namekian having killed Krillin first. Goku is able to destroy the Frieza illusion, but it keeps coming back until Goku makes it and the other illusions disintegrate by not reacting to them at all.

Everyone protests because Frieza is as likely to destroy them rather than help them. Nevertheless, Goku insists he and Vegeta can stop Frieza should he get out of control. Goku convinces King Yemma to have him escorted to Hell where he finds Frieza strung up in his cocoon. Frieza wonders why Goku is there and figures out that he is planning something when Goku asks Frieza how he would like to get out of Hell for a bit.

Frieza tells Goku to use the Dragon Balls to revive him, enticing Goku by claiming he can become stronger. Disgusted by the offer, Goku nonetheless tells him that the Super Dragon Balls would become the prize for the winner of this Tournament, but Frieza doubts it, preferring the Earth's Dragon Balls to resurrect him. Goku promises to revive Frieza, and so Frieza agrees to join Team Universe 7. Goku goes to see Fortuneteller Baba, and asks her to bring Frieza to Earth for 24 hours. Baba is reluctant to do this, but does as Goku asks since the fate of their Universe is at stake. Frieza arrives, and he and Goku greet each other by punching each other in the guts. Assassins from Universe 9 arrive to assassinate Goku and Frieza, who powers up to Golden Frieza and begins killing the assassins. Frieza reveals that he learned to maintain his stamina by mental concentration via imagining killing Goku. Frieza is hit by Energy of Destruction but quickly gains control of it and hits Goku with it. He uses a communicator device from one of the assassins to talk to Sidra and Ro. Frieza offers them a bargain: they make him a member of their team and he will perform well, as he doesn't want to be collateral damage if Universe 7 is erased and offers to kill Goku to ensure his team doesn't win. As the two gods argue over this, Beerus and Whis show up causing Frieza to destroy the communicator. Beerus suspects Frieza is plotting against them, though Whis thinks he may simply have been trying to get intel on other universes.

Frieza notes to himself that this tournament is the perfect opportunity to manipulate the gods of the many universes, and threatening Beerus silently. After Beerus frees him, Goku asks for a quick spar with Frieza on the condition that whoever lands one punch wins. Both punch each other in the face and knock each other out cold and Beerus declares they are evenly matched. Frieza is taken to the rest of the team. As soon as he arrives, all the other members look at him suspiciously while Beerus prevents him from doing anything stupid to which Frieza tells him he knows. Vegeta then makes a comment about his halo, Frieza jokes about giving him one. As the team leaves and Whis tells everyone to join hands so he can transport them to the arena, Beerus butts in and grabs Frieza's arm instead of Vegeta to avoid an escalating grudge between the two.

In the manga, shortly before the Tournament of Power, Frieza has a nightmare, where he relives his defeat and second death at Vegeta and Goku's hands respectively. Suddenly, Goku is taken to Earth's Hell by The Guide, causing Frieza to believe that he's still dreaming. Goku says that it isn't a dream and he has some business with the evil tyrant. Goku comments on Earth's Hell, saying that it's rather pleasant for a place of eternal torture, which causes Frieza to say that nothing is more hellish to him. Frieza asks what he wants and Goku asks him if he'd like to leave this place for 24 hours. Intrigued, Frieza curiously asks Goku what is he up to.

At the Capsule Corporation, the next day, it is almost time for the fighters to leave, but Goku and Frieza have still not arrived. The members of Team Universe 7 express their concern that they lack a tenth member and Goku is nowhere to be found. Suddenly Goku and Frieza arrive, with Fortuneteller Baba, battered and bruised. Other than Vegeta and Krillin, everyone seems surprised that Goku recruited Frieza. When Bulma asks how did they get injured, Goku replies that peaceful negotiations didn't work, resulting in a fight between the two. Beerus calls Goku an idiot for thinking Frieza would listen to him. Piccolo gives the pair each a Senzu Bean to heal up with. Vegeta insults Frieza for having a halo, and the tyrant threatens him in return. Goku warns Vegeta, saying that somehow Frieza has grown even stronger, despite being immobilized in Hell. Frieza says that he trained in thousands of simulations of image training on the best way to kill them all. Beerus warns Frieza not to cross them, or he will personally intervene, but Frieza amusingly says that he was joking. Whis cleans up the pair and asks Goku how he got Frieza to agree to enter the tournament. Frieza says that Goku agreed to fully revive him if their Universe wins the tournament, much to everyone's displeasure.

Whis informs everyone that the time has finally come for the warriors to leave and tells them all to join hands and form a circle. Frieza, however, refuses to hold hands with his nemesis, Goku. Frustrated, Beerus threatens to destroy Frieza and his soul, so that he will never come back again unless he joins hands. As expected, Frieza joins hands with Beerus and Goku, although very reluctantly. As final parting words, Beerus tells them that teamwork is key and they should let the other fighters battle it out in order to save stamina. Whis calls out to the Grand Minister that they are ready to go and they all take off with Bulma standing close, wishing them all luck.

Before the tournament begins, Frieza and Frost meet in secret near the far edge of the ring. The two agree yo work together as kindred spirits. Like Goku, Vegeta, 17 and 18, Frieza ignores Gohan's strategy and runs off to fight on his own; ki blasting Catopesra from Universe 3 at point-blank. Frieza easily defeats Napapa and incapacitates Roselle, and had caused the latter to accidentally jump out of bounds after some torture. Frieza then witnesses Universe 9 being erased by the two Zenos and swears to reign over them one day. When Kale transformed, and started going on a rampage, Frieza just calmly smiled, seemingly unfazed. Later, when Gohan talked about reuniting their team, Frieza showed up while clutching Murichim by his head. Vegeta approaches Frieza and accuses him of stalking his prey. Frieza blithely just kicks Murichim off the ring.

But, to Gohan, Jimizu, and the spectating Universe 7's surprise, he allows for the fight between Gohan and Jimizu to continue. However, after Gohan is overpowered, Frieza smugly intervenes between Jimizu and Gohan. To his bafflement, Frieza simply gets over his Instant Transmission and knocks him over with his tail, dismissing his technique as mere child's play. Jimizu attempts it again, but once again, Frieza easily attacks him. Using his tail to lift him from his throat, Frieza proceeds to torture Jimizu, and with a final ki blast, claims his victory over him. With both Universe 2 and 7 in shock, Frieza throws him out of the ring, where the members of Universe 2 proceed to give their fallen comrade aid.

Frieza and Frost reveal their alliance

As Frieza berates Gohan for not using his full power against Jimizu, Frost comes in on the scene, complimenting Frieza for the exhilarating battle. Champa yells at Frost to get away from Frieza, as he knows he is no match for him, but then Frost reveals that his only enemy is Gohan. Frieza then walks over to his side, and everyone realizes they had already formed an alliance. With everything out on the table, Frost insists that Frieza does battle against Gohan, to which Frieza accepts. Before they begin, Frost warns Frieza if he should be lying to him, he would suffer the consequences, and forms a Death Beam at his fingertips. Frieza and Gohan then do battle, with Frieza holding an upper hand for the majority of the battle. As the battle goes on, Gohan powers up to his Ultimate form and manages to get a good punch on Frieza. Realizing the full extent of his power, Frieza proceeds to power up to his Golden Form, and after a very short bout, Frieza defeats Gohan. Frost then comes on from the sidelines, marveling at the amazing power Frieza possesses. Frieza states to him that he can also attain this power from training, or at the very least, his maximum power form, to which Frieza proceeds to transform into.

Frieza about give to Goku some of his energy

Frost follows suit, and Frieza gives him an important lesson about the form, which is to use it early on to make sure the body's stamina doesn't run out. Frieza gives him one final lesson, which is to not trust anyone, and proceeds to knock him out of the ring. After Frost is knocked out, Gohan pushes himself off of the ground, revealing himself to still be conscious. Utterly shocked by this betrayal, Frieza reveals to Frost that he never intended to work with him, as he considers Frost an amateur in comparison to himself. Enraged by the fact that Frieza would dare call him an amateur, Frost prepares a ki blast, but before he can fire, he is erased by Zeno, who restates that nobody can attack from outside the arena and warning Champa they would erase Universe 6 if they did it again. With the fight finally over, Frieza states to Gohan that they should continue to work together to attain victory, and leaves with a smile on his face.

In the manga, after arriving in the Null Realm, Frieza discovers his counterpart from Universe 6: Frost. Frieza talks with Frost and after finding they share the same joy for ruling with an iron fist, Frieza suggests that they join up to which Frost gladly accepts. The Grand Minister explains the rules and announces the beginning of the Tournament of Power. Immediately Goku, Vegeta, Frieza, Android 17 and Android 18 split from the rest of the team to go and do their own thing. Frieza eliminates Rubalt by stepping on his hand to make him fall after Android 17 almost knocks him from the arena. As Frost pummels away at Oregano, Frieza intervenes, advising him not to waste much of his energy and asks him to do him a favor by taking out the three weak Earthlings, Master Roshi, Krillin and Tien Shinhan for him. Frost questions this, since they are his teammates. Frieza says that he doesn't care about winning and is only involved to exact his revenge against the Saiyans which he will do when the time is right. Frost is interested by Frieza's goal and decides to play along.

Frost then rushes at Krillin and easily kicks him out of the ring, causing the first member of Universe 7 to fall. Tien and Master Roshi fight Frost but are overwhelmed. Tien fires a full power Tri-Beam. However, Frost walks out unscathed and proceeds to knock Tien out of the ring. Frost is about to take out Master Roshi, but Super Saiyan Goku steps in after Krillin's warning. Frieza tells Frost to pull back since Goku is too much for him to handle and he will deal with the Saiyans in due time. Frieza says they should target the other universes for now. While Frost and Frieza are running, Frieza asks if Frost is currently in his final form, and he answers yes. Frost is surprised to hear that Frieza has another transformation in store. Frieza advises that Frost fight at full strength for the rest of the first half, and when Frost is tired out, Frieza will step in to take over. Frost agrees with this plan.

Afterwards, Frost attacks Universe 9 and easily takes out Oregano with a ki blast. He begins to break up the teamwork shown by this Universe. Hyssop then begins to attack Frost and at first seems to overwhelm him, but Frost then manages to pick up Hyssop and Dragonthrow him into Roselle eliminating both of them from the tournament. Frost then eliminates Chappil with a single kick and eliminates Hop and Sorrel with multiple punches. At this point there are only four warriors left from Universe 9. Comfrey is the last warrior from Universe 9 to challenge Frost. He is Frost's greatest challenge yet. He states not to underestimate Universe 9 and he is beginning to win. Just when Comfrey thinks he has the upper hand, Frost eliminates him with a point-blank Explosive Wave. The Trio of Danger, witnessing Frost's power and their lowering numbers, retreats. Frieza says Frost has done enough and prepares to step in, but gives Frost one more piece of advice: do not trust anyone. Frieza suddenly grabs Frost by the throat and chokes him, before kicking him out of bounds. Whis realizes that all of this was a part of Frieza's plan, using Frost to get rid of the weaker fighters.

Elsewhere, Gohan and Piccolo are surrounded by the Trio of Dangers. Piccolo advises that he and Gohan split up, since the Trio of Dangers are too much trouble together. Bergamo orders his brothers to follow Gohan, while he follows Piccolo. Basil and Lavender gang up on Gohan, but they are suddenly blasted and knocked off by Frieza. The evil tyrant calls them fools for jumping into the air so close to the edge. Gohan thanks Frieza for helping him, but, naturally, Frieza refuses his gratitude and says their efforts will be meaningless unless they wFile:in and survive. Frieza says that is when he will exact his revenge on the Saiyans, much to Gohan's dismay.

Bergamo is the only fighter remaining from Universe 9, and he is cornered by Piccolo. Piccolo tells him to jump, but Sidra yells at Bergamo to hang in there, knowing that is the end of their universe if they lose. Piccolo, hearing this, hesitates, as Bergamo pleads for mercy, advising that they both find a way to survive. Frieza suddenly kicks Bergamo off, reminding Piccolo with a smirk that this is about their own survival. The warriors all stop their battles as they watch the Omni-Kings completely erase everything from Universe 9, leaving just their Angel. The Grand Minister tells the participants to resume fighting as the clock is ticking. Beerus yells at his universe that losing is completely not an option and threatens to kill them if they do, with the Universe 7 fighters hearing this. Goku says that they're doomed either way if they lose.

Frieza vs Caulifla

Frieza battles Caulifla

Next, Frieza fights against Caulifla, having little trouble overwhelming the Saiyan. Caulifla calls him out on how he appears to just be going after the Saiyans and Frieza replies that whilst he may have no grudge against the Saiyans from Universe 6, they still get on his nerves. With no other choice, Caulifla transforms into a Super Saiyan. Caulifla asks Frieza if he is shocked by her new form, but Frieza says that form has no surprise for him. Caulifla says that's fair, since the Saiyans from Universe 7 have already mastered the form, but warns Frieza not to compare her with them.

Caulifla charges toward Frieza, but the evil tyrant uses his telekinetic abilities to throw blocks of the arena at Caulifla. However, her sheer aggressiveness allows her to gain the upper hand on her opponent with a powerful close range blast, destroying a good portion of the arena.

Golden Frieza color manga

Frieza transforms into Golden Frieza

Frieza compliments Caulifla on her skill and admits that the first Super Saiyan he ever fought wasn't as strong as her. Although he hoped not to, Frieza decides to use his full power and transforms into Golden Frieza. In this form, Frieza is able to quickly turn the tide of battle as he begins to dominate Caulifla, causing concern for the nearby Kale, who goes to assist her. Kale uses her incredible speed to strike at Frieza, and while it causes him no damage, it distracts him long enough for Caulifla to get in a couple of shots. Eventually, Frieza sees through Kale's actions and grabs her and tosses them away. Cabba, seeing the state that his allies are in, knocks off Za Priccio and also goes in to assist the pair. Caulifla tells Cabba and Kale to let her fight Frieza by herself. Frieza remarks that Kale's attacks actually had more sting to them than Caulifla's attacks as a Super Saiyan, much to the surprise of Caulifla and Cabba, though Kale remarks that they were just lucky hits. Frieza asks who will face him next and says he has no problem fighting all three. Caulifla stubbornly says that she is more than enough for him and rushes into battle once more, but it continues to be a one sided affair. Cabba, after deducing her reason for holding back, asks Kale to use her true power.

Cabba transforms into a Super Saiyan and enters the battle, but fares no better and is quickly overpowered by Frieza. Even when Caulifla and Cabba attack together, they prove to be no match for Frieza at all. The anger towards seeing someone so close to her losing, causes Kale to explode in fury as she becomes a Super Saiyan herself, surprising Cabba and Caulifla. Frieza, however, is no longer surprised by Super Saiyans. Suddenly, Kale employs a vicious assault on Frieza that he is unable to defend against. Frieza comments on the new type of Super Saiyan that Kale has become and the complications of keeping up with all the different variations of the form. Goku, who was currently matched up against members of the Pride Troopers along with Gohan and Master Roshi, is told to go and help Frieza. He intercepts the battle and transforms into a Perfected Super Saiyan Blue, much to Frieza's annoyance, who believes he doesn't need help. Goku is able to stop Kale's first punch, and compliments her strength, before kicking her away. Frieza demands that Goku get out of his way, however, Kale continues her assault, and Goku begins to get pushed back, stating that she is getting stronger and stronger by the moment.

Eventually, Kale manages to break Goku's guard and nearly lands a blow, but Frieza kicks Goku out of the way and says that he is capable of handling her himself if he takes her seriously. Kale further transforms into the Legendary Super Saiyan, which Goku describes as her ki spiking once again. While Champa thinks that it is good that his fighter is doing well, Vados voices her concerns. Since this is probably the first time Kale has unleashed all of her power, she is losing her sense and reason and that things could become much worse if she were to lose all control. Kale struggles to regain her senses and charges past Goku and Frieza, while clutching her head as she falls to her knees. In a rage she powers up, with the resulting pressure of her energy knocking off multiple combatants off of the arena. Kale goes on a rampage, single-handedly eliminating Universe's 4, 3, 2, and 10.

Frieza grabs hold of Cabba

In the anime, after observing Goku's battle with Jiren and overhearing the gods' fear of a mortal using the form, Frieza gives chase to Goku who flees after his loss to recover. Frieza is able to catch Goku and prepares charging a blast stating that no one can actually see them behind the pillar. Goku, fearing for his life screams, as Frieza fires his attack; however, to Goku's shock, he is alive and Frieza laughs and reveals he gave him some of his energy. Frieza said that even though he didn't give him much, knowing that Goku has more than enough to get back on his feet and begin recovering. Frieza continues by telling Goku now all debts are paid, stated fighting Jiren is something he wanted to avoid. He also told Goku that the gods were actually scared of Goku when he was using his new found power and told him the gods called it Ultra Instinct. He also informs Goku he is doing well out there as expected and Universe 7 needs him to keep doing well, as Frieza takes his leave to find his next victim. After watching Vegeta save Cabba and learning of their relationship, Frieza became disgusted at the thought and challenges Cabba to a fight after he barely beats Monna. Despite his best efforts, Cabba is incapable of handling Frieza in his base form and powers up to Super Saiyan 2 after Frieza backs him into a corner. Once Frieza reveals his hatred of Saiyans, Cabba fires a Galick Cannon at him, who rather than blocking the move, powers up to his Golden Frieza form and defeats Cabba with Emperor's Death Beams. Uncharacteristically, Frieza asks Cabba to give up and when Cabba refuses, Frieza blasts him out of the ring with a basic ki blast. Afterwards, Frieza says that he regrets using more stamina than required to take out trash.

Golden Frieza helps Goku to defeat Agnilasa

Frieza fires several Death Beams, looking for a fighter to entertain him, (Dyspo opted not to deal with him and flees while hiding behind a boulder). Suddenly, Catopesra appears and transforms into his Whirlwind Speed Mode form and asks Frieza if he's fast enough to even catch him before running off (Frieza simply ignores this). Frieza then appears before Goku, Caulifla, and Kale and expressed interest in eliminating the two female Saiyans and was about to counter Caulifla's Crush Cannon with his Death Ball, but stops when Goku insisted on taking them both on. He continues to observe the battle between Goku (whom re-awoken his Ultra Instinct) and Kefla, and stated that he needs Goku to continue working for him after he emerged victorious. Frieza watches on as Universe's 2 and 6 were erased, simply stating that Goku didn't tap into "Ultra Instinct" this time. Later when Agnilasa is created, Frieza gets asked by Goku to help in the battle. Frieza helps Goku, Vegeta, 17, and Gohan to defeat Agnilasa.

Frieza bored with Dyspo's "old technique"

During the fight against the remaining three members Team Universe 11, Dyspo used his Light Bullet to try and attack Frieza from behind, but Frieza grabbed Dyspo’s attacking arm with his tail. Frieza said it was handy to have a tail. Dyspo smiled and said it was handy for him too, and then dragged Frieza by the tail, slammed him face first into a rock formation, and dragged his face through it. But Frieza proved completely unscathed, which shocked the Pride Troopers eliminated and then told Dyspo he was bored before throwing a Death Beam, forcing the pride trooper to flee.

Golden Frieza beats Dyspo ruthlessly

They continued their fight, this time, Dyspo used his Light Bullet against Frieza. Frieza still manages to block Dyspo's attacks with some difficulty until his enemy uses his Circle Flash on him. When the attack explodes on him, Frieza falls on his knees and Dyspo is ready to attack him again but Frieza blocks him again with his tail and throws him to the ground. Amused by his opponent, he offers him a deal similar to the one he did with the universe 9 but Dyspo refuses, calming Frieza badly. Exasperated, Frieza decides to finish with him and transforms into Golden Frieza, and attacks Dyspo first. After having cashed his attack, Frieza asks him if it's all that he has and begins to attack mercilessly, becoming faster than him and still beating him. After having landed again, Frieza began to make fun of Dyspo until he showed his latest asset: Super Maximum Light Speed Mode. Undaunted, Frieza charged Dyspo, but the pride trooper managed to push him a long distance, thanks to speed now superior to that of Golden Frieza's, although Frieza still managed to block some of his blows, but with difficulty.

Frieza forms the Cage of Light

While Dyspo was going to deal the final blow to Frieza, Gohan intervenes, which surprises Frieza, who asks him why he came to help him. Gohan just said that he was in the same team, which Frieza asked him if he was not afraid he would betray him for real this time, and Gohan warned him that if it was happening like that he will make Frieza fall from the arena. Frieza not impressed, agreed to team up with Gohan and they attacked Dyspo with Ki Blasts, but he easily dodges them. Frieza then created a Cage of Light to prevent Dyspo from having enough space to go fast enough, which allows Gohan to gain the upper hand, but this quickly drains his stamina, which forces Frieza to eventually let go. Dyspo is about to attack again, but Gohan manages to catch him from behind, immobilizing him completely. Gohan then shouts at Frieza to knock them down, which he does without hesitation, eliminating both Dyspo and Gohan.

Frieza observes the fight between Toppo and Android 17. Both opponents launch powerful energy attacks and Toppo easily pushes back to 17 limit, but Frieza launches a Death Beam at Top's back. Frieza mocks Toppo and proceeds to fire a barrage of Death Beams, greatly injuring the Pride Trooper. Frieza then finishes with a Death Cannon that completely consumes Toppo, also allowing Android 17's energy beam to defeat his. However, Toppo proves not to be out, although he is heavily injured. Frieza appears in front of him, then mocks the futile resistance of the leader of the Pride Troopers, deeming him trash that he will be happy to throw in the trash bin. Suddenly, Toppo declares that justice and evil are irrelevant, saying survival is the only thing that matters, and it is because of this that Toppo powers up to his Destroyer Form. The transformation does not impress Frieza, too confident of its power says that Toppo can not do anything against Golden Frieza. Toppo then fires an Energy of Destruction at Frieza, who confidently believes such an attack won't work on him, and stops it with only one hand. His belief is quickly proven wrong, however, and in mere moments, Frieza is consumed by the Energy of Destruction.

Frieza being almost crushed by Top

Later in the battle, Frieza reappears, albeit out of his Golden Form and with many injuries scathing him. Enraged that Toppo did so much damage, Frieza declares that a God of Destruction is nothing compared to him, and fires Destroy The Planet!. Alas, Toppo merely flicks a tiny ball of destructive energy which manages to destroy the Death Ball, completely stupefying Frieza. Toppo proceeds to hammer Frieza with several powerful punches, and in mere moments, Frieza is knocked unconscious. But from the sidelines, Android 17 kicks a rock that changes Frieza's trajectory, thus saving him from a ring-out. Later on, Frieza returns to save Android 17 from Top's attack before using an Imprisonment Ball to temporarily paralyze Toppo. However, his subsequent Psychic Rock Throw failed to affect Toppo and he ended up tossed around again. Frieza and 17 went for a barrage of ki blasts but they both failed to harm Toppo as well. The fight was interrupted by Goku and Vegeta's fight against Jiren, who sent a Power Impact towards 17 and Frieza, which hit both of them.

Frieza easily dominated by Jiren

Frieza survived the attack, and angered by Jiren's beating of him, attacks him ferociously, but is fended off and hopelessly overpowered by the mighty Pride Trooper. Even in his golden form, Frieza is effortlessly beaten down by Jiren, who stopped his attack with a glare and delivered a blow on the emperor, before punching him with enough force to knock him out of his golden form, leaving Frieza unconscious yet again.

Frieza bides his time during Goku and Jiren's fight, then saves Goku from being knocked out with a kiai. He powers up alongside a still-alive Android 17 to face off against Jiren. Frieza attacks Jiren head on and is able to keep up with him in his Golden Form, with Frieza mocking him for losing his power. During the fight, Frieza is knocked back and 17 flies in and tackles Jiren and charges up the same sneak attack. Jiren attempts to block it this time but 17 locks them inside his barrier and detonates it, hitting Jiren with the entire blast. Jiren vomits and drops to his knee's beaten once again, this time by Frieza and 17.

After 17 tells him to finish Jiren, Frieza charges a Death Beam and points it between Jiren's eyes, demanding the former titan to stare him in the eyes as he eliminates him. With some motivation from Toppo, Jiren powers back up with what he has left and attacks, forcing Frieza and 17 to set up a barrier. The effort of setting up the barrier causes Frieza to revert to his final form. Seeing this, Goku pulls himself up and joins them. Frieza asks Goku if he remembers his promise about resurrecting him. Goku says yes and Frieza insults Goku's naïve attitude towards him but nonetheless expresses his gratitude to Goku and after stopping the attack, Goku and Frieza charge Jiren with 17 providing long range support with ki attacks.

Goku obliges and Frieza flies to Jiren and hits him with his Nova Strike, willing to sacrifice himself to eliminate Jiren. Jiren manages to redirect them into a near by rock formation to save himself only to be caught by Goku, who is struggling to hold his Super Saiyan form due to not having energy. With their team cheering them on, Goku fully powers up in his Super Saiyan form as Frieza fully powers up his Final Form and drive Jiren through the ring to eliminate the titan.

In the manga, with 15 minutes remaining, only 12 fighters are left: From Universe 6, Kefla, the fusion of Caulifla and Kale, from Universe 7, Goku, Vegeta, Frieza, Gohan, Android 17 and Master Roshi and from Universe 11, Jiren, Top, Kahseral and Dyspo. While everyone else is busy fighting, Frieza on the other hand, not in imminent conflict, takes the opportunity to recover his stamina.

Vegeta, during his battle with Top, shows some frustration that Goku surpassed him again, achieving Ultra Instinct Sign against Jiren, while Vegeta is struggling with his own opponent. As Top tries to attack Vegeta from behind, the Saiyan prince completely disregards the God of Destruction candidate and powers up, the force of his aura knocking Top out of the ring onto some floating debris, with Beerus noting that Vegeta's aura changed. Top watches Vegeta fight Jiren, and is frustrated that the Pride Troopers had to rely on Jiren in the end. Frieza appears and belittles Top for relying on another for survival. Frieza states that while he doesn't relish the idea of attacking a weakened enemy, as the Emperor of Evil, he doesn't play fair, before kicking Top across the floating debris. Dyspo stops fighting Android 17 and comes to his comrade's rescue. Frieza then jumps back to the ring, and destroys all of the floating debris that creates a path to the ring, leaving Dyspo and Toppo stranded on a single rock.

Top tells Dyspo to leave him, but Dyspo says that he's too tired from his fight with Android 17 and unable to jump the distance to the arena. Frieza sadistically torments the Pride Troopers by shooting the rock they're standing on.`Android 17 scolds Frieza for his actions and tells him to finish them already. Frieza agrees, since there's no time for "fun and games". Dyspo hesitates, then asks Jiren for help as they cannot return to the ring under their own power. Jiren stares at his teammates, causing him to be distracted long enough for Goku to teleport to safety with Vegeta. Jiren swiftly appears behind 17 and Frieza and knocks them aside, with both of them unable to follow him at all. Jiren stares at Dyspo as he asks for help, but Jiren tells the two to observe from the bench as he will finish things alone. Jiren watches as the rock Dyspo and Toppo are on breaks apart, and they are eliminated.

Golden Frieza manga color

Frieza turns gold for his and Jiren's "ultimate battle"

Frieza tells Jiren that he must be cocky if he thinks he can win the Tournament by himself. Jiren expresses indifference in Frieza, and Frieza notes that he is the type to hide his true potential, and now is the time to lay down all his cards, transforming into Golden Frieza and attacking Jiren. While fighting, Frieza glances at the giant pillar in the middle shrinking, and Jiren realizes that Frieza is buying time, putting in more effort to destroy the ring Frieza is standing on. Jiren tries to knock Frieza off, but his attack is blocked by 17. However, Jiren puts in more force to knock Frieza and 17 out, and 17 saves himself and Frieza by landing on debris. 17 says he will take the lead, but realizes that he is also no match for Jiren.

17 has a plan, and asks Krillin and Android 18 to take care of his wife and children on their island. While Krillin slowly realizes what 17 plans to do, 18 calmly complies to him, saying she's used to handling children. 17 thanks his sister and confronts Jiren, asking if he is fighting for survival or to get his wish granted, and Jiren answers both. 17 says he is giving up on the latter, blowing himself up in a final attempt to win as everyone watches. While 17's blast did destroy one entire half of the ring, Jiren remains unharmed and on the ring.

The Grand Minister and Omni-Kings discuss, and they decide that the tournament will continue as 17 willingly gave up his own life. Jiren is disappointed at witnessing 17's act, saying it is time to end things. Goku shows no anger at what happened, but resolves to win and to not let his friends down, once again attaining his Ultra Instinct Sign form. Jiren responds by powering up.

Golden Nova Strike

Golden Frieza knocks Jiren and Goku off-stage

Unfortunately, Goku fails to defeat Jiren before his Completed Ultra Instinct wears off. Goku and Vegeta manage to overwhelm Jiren by fighting together, however, Jiren turns the tables by awakening his Super Full Power. Jiren blasts Vegeta backwards and he falls from the arena, being eliminated in the process. Goku tries valiantly to battle on but ends up being pushed back. Just as he appears to be on the verge of elimination himself, Frieza appears from behind the two of them, charging a Death Ball. Frieza calls out to Goku to hold on to Jiren and keep him there so he can throw his attack. Goku grabs Jiren from behind and Frieza throws the Death Ball, proclaiming that when he wins, his wish to be revived better be fulfilled. Jiren is able to hold on to the blast and fling it upwards into the air and away from himself, but, just as he does, Frieza, now in his Golden Frieza state, uses the Nova Strike to push Jiren, Goku, and himself from the arena, causing them all to be eliminated from the Tournament.

Just then, Android 17 emerges from underneath a rock, saying that his and Frieza's plan went smoothly, though Frieza says that the android being the last man standing does not sit with him. Goku praises the pair for their plan, and Frieza replies that they prefer strategy over reckless brawling, unlike Goku. At that, the tournament comes to an end with Universe 7 being the victor. The others voice their surprise, not knowing that Android 17 was still competing due to not being able to sense his energy. Krillin asks him about his apparent self destruction and Android 17 says that he would never do such a thing and lost the ability to do so a long time ago anyway, reminding Krillin that it was he who made the wish to have his and 18's bombs removed.

Frieza ressurected by Whis

Frieza fully resurrected by Whis

In the anime, after 17 brings back everyone who was erased in the Tournament Frieza is annoyed at a notion of a happy ending being worse than damnation in hell. Whis resurrects Frieza at the request of Beerus, with Whis telling a shocked Frieza that it is a personal gift from Beerus as gratitude for his efforts. However, while grateful that he was revived, Frieza makes it very clear that he has no intention of changing his evil ways, with Goku in turn stating that should Frieza even attempt to cause any more trouble, he will make sure Frieza is defeated again.

In the manga, after Universe 11 is erased, Android 17 immediately asks for the other universes to be brought back which surprises the Grand Minister. Android 17 says that as the winner, he has the right to make the wish and his choice is to have them all brought back. Upon summoning Super Shenron, the previously erased universes and participants are brought back into existence. As they all begin to make their home, the Grand Minister says that the wish that was made has elevated Universe 7 up in the ranking and they are now third from the bottom. In the volume version of the chapter, the universes are shown revived in the stands as they are about to be transported back to their home universes. Cabba waves to Vegeta, while Frost glares at Frieza, who smirks back. Jiren tells Goku he wants to meet again, who replies in kind.

Goku asks why Android 17 changed his wish and he simply says that he changed his mind as he didn't want the Zenos to have their way. Vegeta even tells him that they have now more ships than they even need and Bulma would happily give him one being the savior of the universe. Frieza chimes in, reminding Goku about the promise that he would be revived and Whis, using his powers, grants him life anew saying that it is a gift from Beerus who praises him for his strategy in defeating Jiren. Frieza appears to be surprised by the notion, but proves how irredeemably evil he is by vowing to continue his evil ways, despite being killed and sent to Hell twice. Though, Goku says that he'll just beat him again if he does.

Team Universe 7 returns to Capsule Corporation, while Whis takes Frieza back to his own planet.

Frieza mulls over the Saiyans' increasing power until Zarbon advises his master to eliminate Bardock and his team. He then has Dodoria and his soldiers take care of destroying the team. Beforehand, he also humors Vegeta's request for a challenging mission by having him do the most difficult mission with the incentive of him coming back alive. However, when seeing that Bardock's attack pod was en route to Vegeta, he forced Dodoria to be placed under house arrest within his quarters for the failure. He also appeared in a vision of Bardock's, where Goku tells Bardock that it's not too late to avoid becoming like Frieza (it should be noted that this dialogue was exclusive to the dub). Upon witnessing Bardock holding his own against his soldiers, Frieza, with barely contained fury, orders for Zarbon to prepare his hover pod to go into space, with a hesitant Zarbon ultimately complying when Frieza subtly threatens Zarbon for questioning his orders. In the end, Frieza is challenged by Bardock himself, who survived the onslaught and wants revenge for the death of his crew. Bardock fires a Riot Javelin at Frieza, who makes a Supernova and cancels out Bardock's attack. Frieza then sends the ball straight into the core of the Planet Vegeta, wiping out almost the entire Saiyan race and many of his own henchmen.

Cooler's Revenge

Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan

Main article: Dragon Ball Z: Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan Although Frieza does not have a direct appearance, his destruction of Planet Vegeta is shown in a flashback by Paragus, and was also mentioned twice by him, both relating to his genocide. Ironically, the film revealed that King Vegeta's attempted execution of the titular antagonist Broly had been done for the exact same reason as why Planet Vegeta ended up destroyed by Frieza: to prevent the creation of the Legendary Super Saiyan. He also briefly appears in the opening segment, which showed his death at the hands of Future Trunks.

When Janemba appears, the dead all escape Hell and head toward Earth, under Frieza's command. Frieza confronts Gohan and Videl, and immediately recognizes Gohan as Goku's son. Deciding the boy should pay for his father's "sins", Frieza sends his army of villains (Zarbon, Jeice, Burter, Bojack, ZangyaParagus, Recoome, Salza, etc.) to attack the couple, but Gohan flies through them all and silences him by punching Frieza in the stomach and blowing him away with an energy shot to the gut. His terrified minions quickly disperse.

Frieza in Earth's Hell

After his death Frieza's spirit was kept imprisoned in Earth's Hell, with the Angels of Hell being the ones who were tasked with ensuring that he remained captive.[18] During his time in Hell, Frieza's spirit retained the appearance of his Mecha Frieza state and was left trapped inside a cocoon.[19] However, over fourteen years after Frieza's demise, his two elite soldiers Sorbet and Tagoma collect all of the Dragon Balls and resurrect him, and he is revived as he was just before his death, as Mecha Frieza and in pieces. Sorbet and Tagoma collect all of the pieces of Frieza and put the organic parts in a healing chamber, Frieza's body is regenerated and he reverts himself back into his first form.

Frieza - Resurrection F - 002

Frieza after being regenerated

As soon as Frieza's body is regenerated, he announces to his soldiers that he will not be satisfied until Goku and Trunks have both been killed. Tagoma then suggests to Frieza that he should just ignore Goku and the other Saiyans. Furiously, Frieza blasts Tagoma into outer space with a quick Ki blast. Sorbet then informs Frieza that Goku's power has surpassed that of even Majin Buu, which is far more than Frieza could have imagined. But due to him being a prodigy, Frieza believes that through four months of serious training, he will be able to reach a level of power high enough to wipe out the Saiyans in the blink of an eye.

During his new invasion of Earth, Frieza first appears in his first form with an army of one thousand soldiers. After landing on Earth, he fires a Death Beam at East City, completely destroying it. Afterward, Frieza fights against Goku using his fourth form, with Goku winning the fight until Frieza decides to utilize what appears to be a purple version of the Death Ball to clash with Goku's God Kamehameha. The two later transform into their final transformations: Goku goes Super Saiyan Blue, with Frieza transforming into his Ultimate Evolution state. Once in this form, he refers to himself as Golden Frieza.

They both fight on equal ground until Sorbet injures Goku when he is off guard with his Bad Ring Laser, allowing Frieza to defeat Goku. Then Vegeta steps up to fight Frieza. When Frieza shoots an energy wave at Krillin as he is giving Goku a Senzu Bean, Vegeta deflects it away, killing Sorbet. After being beat up by Vegeta, Frieza realizes he cannot defeat him, so he blows up the earth, killing Vegeta. However, Whis turns time back to before Frieza is about to blow up the earth, and Goku destroys Frieza with a Kamehameha, thus preventing Earth's destruction. The movie's end credits show Frieza back in Hell with the Angels of Hell, who start to laugh as they welcome him back.

Broly

Main article: Dragon Ball Super: Broly Frieza sends his forces to steal the Dragon Balls from Capsule Corporation so he can become 5cm taller. When Kikono asked why 5cm, Frieza says anymore would be noticeable. Frieza also refuses to go to Earth himself until all seven Dragon Balls are located as despite his ki control gained from training in Hell, Frieza is unable to conceal his large ki signature which he notes the Dragon Team would be able to sense before his ship even entered Earth's atmosphere and that he sent weak soldiers to covertly steal the Dragon Radar from Bulma's lab. The soldier were successful at stealing the Radar and six Dragon Balls that Bulma had been collecting to make herself five years younger but Trunks informed his mother and father about the burglary and the soldiers were caught on video alerting Bulma, Vegeta, and Goku to the theft and Bulma decided to go after the last Dragon Ball on the Ice Continent which Bulma had held off on collecting due to the coldness of the region. Meanwhile Frieza's soldiers find the Saiyan survivors Broly and his Paragus stranded on Vampa and Frieza learns Paragus hates the House of Vegeta and wants revenge after King Vegeta III banished Broly to Vampa (in the same year Frieza took over command of King Cold's empire following his father's retirement) due to King Vegeta's jealousy over Broly's power level being higher than his eldest son Vegeta IV. Paragus also was given the Frieza Force's cover story that Planet Vegeta was destroyed by collision from a celestial object though did not mourn for its destruction as he had abandoned it years before in an attempt to rescue Broly from Vampa. As a result Frieza viewed the two Saiyan survivors as valuable soldiers, Broly due to his untapped potential and Paragus due to his hatred of Vegeta's family and ability to control Broly who was loyal to his father. Frieza made a deal with Paragus that he and Broly could take their revenge out on Vegeta but killing the Saiyan named Goku would be reserved for Frieza himself noting his own desire for revenge against the Saiyan who humiliated him.

Eventually his men located the final ball and the Frieza Force headed to Earth. However Goku and Vegeta attacked the soldiers' ship, though they were saved when Frieza announced his arrival with a Petite Supernova that created a hole in the clouds as his ship descended to the Ice Continent. Frieza, Broly, and Paragus exited the ship flanked by Frieza's Honor Guard. Frieza uses Telekinesis to retrieve the Dragon Balls for safe keeping while he and his new Saiyan subordinates deal with Goku and Vegeta. Vegeta cares little about how his father's exile of Broly lead to Paragus and Broly becoming stranded and notes it has nothing to do with him which is true as Vegeta was still an infant around the time and the decision was his father's not his. Vegeta however has no real sympathy for Paragus or Broly recognizing they want revenge on his whole family and are willing to side with the likes of Frieza to get it. Frieza notices Broly's anger flaring up after seeing Vegeta's dismissive attitude and hearing his father's desire for revenge, causing Frieza to have Paragus order Broly to attack Vegeta.

Frieza watches Broly fights Vegeta and asks Paragus if this is Broly's first real fight. Paragus says he has fought Broly a number of times but Frieza laughs at him and says that would be a no compared to Vegeta then. As the battle progresses, Frieza learns Broly can't turn into a Super Saiyan and kills Paragus to help him by framing Vegeta.

Golden Frieza attacks Broly

Frieza is then forced to fight Broly when Goku and Vegeta fly past him. He transforms into his Golden form but is still no match for Broly's power, receiving a one-sided beating during the hour he fought him. Left in terror of Broly's unprecedented might, Frieza nevertheless maliciously grins at Broly's level of strength. When Gogeta appears, Frieza is left confused as to who the heck he is and is left shocked when he reveals he is a fusion of Goku and Vegeta and watches with absolute awe as Gogeta's power proves to be substantially greater than his and Broly's, easily overpowering Broly repeatedly and would have killed him were it not for Frieza's soldiers turning on him to use the Dragon Balls to whisk Broly away. Frieza attempts to kill them but is stopped by Gogeta. Knowing he is vastly outclassed by his foe, Frieza leaves. Three days later, Frieza believes that if Broly can control his power he would be a great asset to the Frieza Force and trusts his henchmen who betrayed him to tame Broly. Frieza says that Goku and Vegeta are becoming a formidable team and by himself, he can't beat them especially since they're now able to do fusion, so now he needs a partner to win.

Frieza 4d

Frieza reveals himself

Frieza is the main villain of this film. After being summoned by a hooded figure via Shenron, and then having increases his power exponentially in a short period of time, he is seen causing havoc in west city. Goku challenges the tyrant, but is ultimately outclassed. He then turns into a Super Saiyan, where he puts up a better fight, but is eventually defeated and left grievously injured on the ground. Super Saiyan Vegeta, Krillin, and Piccolo arrive to help, (with Frieza being angered at Vegeta being a Super Saiyan) and Goku gathers enough energy to form a massive Spirit Bomb to kill Frieza.

In this short film, Frieza is stated to have a Power level of 5,300,000,000 (10,000x his first form on Namek).

Nekomajin

Main article: Nekomajin In the Nekomajin chapter "Neko Majin Z 3", published in August 2003 (Monthly Shōnen Jump, 2003, #9), Frieza is mentioned by Vegeta. Nekomajin takes place at some point after Age 784.

Frieza is ruling his empire, apparently more peacefully than before. Noticing that his son Kuriza, and one of his commanders Onio, have been away on Earth for too long, Frieza contacts Vegeta and asks him to bring them back to him. Though angry that Frieza is wasting his time, Vegeta agrees and heads off to tell the two that Frieza wants them to come back.

Frieza vs Goku Shin Budokai

Frieza and Goku clash once more

Frieza appears as one of the primary antagonists of Shin Budokai. He appears as the leader of a group of villains (composed of himself, Cooler, and Cell) who were able to leave Hell thanks to Janemba. Immediately after being resurrected, Frieza is confronted by Gohan, who transforms into a Super Saiyan. Final form Frieza is able to tire out Gohan without having to use his full power and decides to leave, revealing that, while in Hell, he has learned how to lower his power without having to use lower forms. Frieza sends Cell and Cooler to search for the Dragon Balls, and then he confronts Goku. Frieza and Goku fight, but Frieza is eventually defeated when Goku immobilizes him with a Pressure Point Attack and then does one of two things: blasts him with a Super Kamehameha, sending to Hell again, or leaves him immobilized.

After returning to Earth as fast as possible, he is met by the newly arrived Future Trunks along with kid Trunks, Goten, and Pikkon. Frieza engages in battle with them, though it was only a distraction as Frieza steals their Dragon Ball and Dragon Radar. Frieza then heads off to look for the Dragon Balls, defeating Krillin along the way.

Frieza vs 18

Frieza (powered up by evil energy) confronts Android 18

Later, he tracks down Android 18, trying to take her Dragon Ball. She tells him that Broly stole the Dragon Balls, Frieza fights the Legendary Super Saiyan and is at first defeated, but eventually succeeds and kills Broly. Frieza finds that Broly did not have the Dragon Balls and then goes on and collects a Dragon Ball. Towards the games finale, Android 18 arrives at where Frieza is with a Dragon Ball and he reveals his new plan; he is going to kidnap Android 18, destroy the planet, and then take 18 with him to planet Namek to steal their Dragon Balls. Frieza then powers himself up using evil energy, making him far stronger than anyone on the planet. Frieza becomes so strong that Android 18 states that even if she put all of her energy into one attack, it would not even scratch Frieza. However, Krillin arrives just as Frieza is about to destroy the planet and leave with 18. Krillin and Android 18's love and positive feelings for each other, along with the energy from the Spirit Bomb that Goku gave to Krillin, counter the evil energy that Frieza had built up, greatly weakening Frieza. Krillin (with some of the Spirit Bomb power) and Android 18 then go all out and manage to defeat Frieza, sending him to Hell once again.

It is implied that upon arriving in Hell, Frieza may have been transformed into Janemba due to the evil energy he absorbed, or that Janemba took the energy from Frieza. However, upon Janemba's defeat Frieza would have been returned to normal.

Frieza in Dragon Ball Online

In Dragon Ball Online, Frieza attacks Namek like in the manga, he goes through the conflict unaware that the Time Breakers have begun interfering and taking control of his soldiers. Like in the manga, Frieza transforms multiple times, fights the Z Fighters and defeats them until Goku arrives, at which point the two prepare to fight.

In Age 1000, Frieza's Army remnants have become a part of the Time Breakers alliance, their primary goal being to resurrect Frieza once more, which they can achieve by obtaining some of his remains, so they search around the area he was killed for some. Eventually they travel to the past and collect several of Frieza's remains in order to revive him. One of the pieces they collect is 2nd Frieza's severed tail which Krillin cut off with his Destructo Disc during the Battle on Planet Namek. At one point a Time Breaker Frieza Soldier takes a bite out of said tail, causing them to mutate making the soldier larger and stronger.

Prologue
Villainous Mode Frieza (True Form)

Dark Frieza prepares to fight Goku

During the opening prologue in Age 767, 100% Full Power Frieza's battle with Super Saiyan Goku on Dying Namek is shown and Goku defeats Frieza. However history is altered Frieza empowered by Dark Magic granting him the power of Villainous Mode gets back up which shocks Goku, though he transforms back into his Super Saiyan form and continues to fight against Dark Frieza. In the altered history that is shown, SSJ Goku is forced to use a Spirit Bomb to combat Dark Frieza, though it is unclear if he was able to defeat Dark Frieza with it or not. Due to this and other history changes during the Cell Games in Age 767 and the battle with Kid Buu in Age 774, Chronoa and Xeno Trunks realize that history is changing, causing Xeno Trunks to use Toki Toki City's Dragon Balls to summon Shenron and makes a wish to summon a warrior capable of defending all of history, resulting in the Future Warrior being summoned to Toki Toki City and being recruited by Trunks as a member of the Time Patrol.

Frieza Saga

In another altered timeline of the Battle on Namek in Age 767, Frieza's battle with the Z Fighters on Namek turns out differently due to Time Breaker interference though Frieza being empowered by Dark Magic. While Goku is inside the healing chamber, Dark Frieza kills both Vegeta and Krillin, and then kills Gohan before Goku can arrive and save him. Frieza then faces off against the still injured Goku, who left the healing chamber far too early for him to be able to fight.

When the Future Warrior travels back to stop this change from coming to pass, they arrive and helps the Z Fighters fight against Dark Frieza (1st form). Under the influence of Towa's Dark Magic, instead of transforming into his 2nd form, Dark Frieza transforms right into his Final Form, altering the timeline. However Piccolo arrives in time to assist the Future Warrior in combating Dark Frieza, while Vegeta has Krillin injure him so he can be healed by Dende and receive Saiyan Power in the hope that it will make him a Super Saiyan. With his new power Vegeta joins the battle with Dark Frieza but is defeated as he was in the original timeline, however he and the Future Warrior manage to by enough time for Goku to arrive and allowing the dying Vegeta to inform him of Frieza's role in the Genocide of the Saiyans and the destruction of Planet Vegeta before dies from his injures restoring that part of the timeline. Together with the Future Warrior, Goku fights Dark Frieza though Frieza proves to be too strong and Goku is forced to resort to the Spirit Bomb to defeat Frieza like in the original timeline. Instead of Piccolo, Future Warrior distracts Dark Frieza long enough for Goku to prepare and hit him with a Large Spirit Bomb it appears as though Dark Frieza has been killed.

Goku vs Villainous Frieza

Dark Frieza fights Goku

However, Dark Frieza survives the assault like he did in the original history and is given a dark power up, he then chokes the Future Warrior, shoots a Death Beam through Piccolo's chest, and blows up Krillin with his Death Psycho Bomb, causing Goku to become a Super Saiyan. Dark Frieza attacks Goku with his Killer Ball technique, but Goku dodges it. Unfortunately, one of the stray blasts Goku had dodged ends up heading right towards Gohan and Piccolo, however the Future Warrior manages shield them with their body, and then joins Goku fight against Dark Frieza. Eventually Frieza becomes desperate and fires his Destroy The Planet! at Namek's core to destroy the planet though like in the original history he holds back out of fear he will be caught in the explosion, allowing Namek to survive though will eventually explode. As a result, SSJ Goku and the Future Warrior survive and continue to fight against Villainous Mode Dark Frieza at 100% Power on Dying Namek. Eventually the combined power of Future Warrior and Super Saiyan Goku is enough to defeat Dark Frieza, who loses the dark power up and returns to regular Frieza. Goku thanks the Warrior for their assistance but asks them to leave Frieza defeat up to him. Since the timeline had been fixed, the Future Warrior then leaves Goku and Frieza to their battle, as Porunga is summoned and Frieza speeds of towards him, with Goku giving chase. Chronoa and Xeno Trunks later reveal to the Future Warrior that Goku ends up defeating Frieza in the corrected timeline thus the original timeline is restored.

In Age 850, Frieza (1st form) appears in Toki Toki City after the Future Warrior has completed Captain Ginyu's training and became the sixth official member of the Ginyu Force. Having heard about the Warrior from Ginyu, Frieza decides to scout the Warrior for the Frieza Force, and beings training the Warrior as their new Master. Upon completing their training under Frieza, Frieza makes the Future Warrior a member of Frieza's Honor Guard.

Xenoverse 2

Main article: Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2

Prologue

In the opening animated Time Patroller recruitment video, Mecha Frieza getting cut in two by Future Trunks is briefly shown when Chronoa is telling perspective Time Patrollers to avoid altering history like Future Trunks did.

In the opening Prologue of Xenoverse 2, a scroll containing the events of the Genocide of the Saiyans in Age 737 is shown. Frieza observes Planet Vegeta from within his spaceship and notes it will be the last time he gazes on the planet, before spotting Bardock who desperately fights to avert his planet's fate. While fighting Frieza's soldiers, Bardock is momentarily distracted by a vision of his son Kakarot confronting 1st Frieza on Namek. After the vision ends Bardock frees himself from the soldier's holding on to him and demands Frieza show himself. Frieza appears in his hoverchair and Bardock hears Frieza state, "So the legendary Super Saiyan has finally shown up." which is the result of another one of Bardock's visions causing the scene to shift, to Age 779 during Frieza's revenge. As a result, Frieza appears to Bardock to morph into Golden Frieza as a result of Bardock's vision. Bardock is shocked by Frieza's sudden change, before noticing his son as a Super Saiyan Blue and witnesses SSGSS Goku clashing with Golden Frieza before his vision ends with the explosion produced by Goku and Frieza's clash. After this final vision, Bardock determined to change the future, creates a Riot Javelin which he throws at Frieza. However Frieza creates a Supernova which consumes the blast which Bardock and Planet Vegeta are caught in leading to the planet's destruction. The scene then shifts back to the scroll which unravels before being stop by Turles foot, leading to him Lord Slug, Mira, and Towa being shown, along with the mysterious Masked Saiyan.

Ruckus on Planet Namek Saga

Like in Xenoverse, Frieza is fought in the main story during the Battle on Planet Namek in Age 762. He is first seen alongside Zarbon and Dodoria during the attack on Moori's village right after Krillin and Gohan rescue Dende. Due to Towa's Dark Magic, Frieza tells both Dodoria and Zarbon to go after them, allowing Zarbon to prevent Krillin and the others from escaping when Krillin blinds Dodoria with the Solar Flare. Fortunately the Time Patrol sends the second Future Warrior to help by time for Krillin to escape.

The Galactic Emperor Saga

Eventually the Warrior discovers that Lord Slug and Turles are working with Towa and Mira, causing them to interfere with the Battle on Planet Namek in an attempt to steal the Namekian Dragon Balls for themselves. During Frieza's battle with Nail he is powered up by Towa and the Warrior is sent to aid him in buying time for Dende and the others. However while they are distracted by Dark Frieza, Turles and Slug steal the Namekian Dragon Balls during this time and the Warrior is forced to leave after Nail informs Frieza he was only buying time, causing Frieza to rush off. The Warrior manages to stop Turles and Slug by traveling further into the past by traveling back to the Time Nest and using the Time Scroll again, and manages to defeat them with the help of Xeno Trunks. They then return to aid the others against the enraged Frieza. Vegeta is killed like in the original timeline and Goku arrives though is eventually forced to use the Spirit Bomb, though it fails to kill Frieza. Frieza wounds Piccolo and kills Krillin, causing Goku to transform into Super Saiyan, though this time Goku takes Killer Ball attack head on instead of dodging and thus the Future Warrior is not forced to protect them as their predecessor did in Xenoverse. The Warrior joins Super Saiyan Goku in fight Frieza who uses Destroy the Planet! to destroy Namek but holds back saving Goku and his allies as he had in the original history. However, as Goku mentions Frieza holding back, Cooler appears and admonishes his brother for his weakness, to the shock of Frieza, Goku, and the Future Warrior. Frieza inquires why his brother is there and Cooler reveals Towa had aided him in traveling through time to prevent his brother's humiliating defeat at the hands of Goku. As a result, the two brothers team up to kill Goku and the Future Warrior, before powering up to their full power, 100% for Frieza and Cooler takes on his Fourth Transformation. However Cooler is defeated by the Warrior causing him to fall into what is left of Namek's molten core, and Goku is left to compete his fight with Frieza alone as Dende uses the Namekian Dragon Balls to transport everyone one except Goku and Frieza to Earth like in the original timeline. For defeating Cooler and Frieza, Chronoa awards the Future Warrior with a Flying License which serves as proof of their status as an elite Time Patroller, allowing them to legally use Flight in Conton City.

The Emperor's Return Saga

Later Frieza is revived in Age 779, though Towa interferes causing Cooler to be revived using the Dragon Balls second wish. Cooler is later transformed into Metal Cooler and it is implied he trained with his brother aiding him in unlocking his Golden Form making much stronger. The Warrior aids the Z Fighters in holding off Frieza's dark magic enhanced army and fights the tyrant once more in order to buy time for Goku and Vegeta to arrive. Eventually Goku and Vegeta appear. Super Saiyan Blue Goku and the Future Warrior fight Frieza together but Whis who had arrived with Beerus for the food promised by Bulma, notes the presence of Metal Cooler who reveals himself and reveals how he was revived. Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta and the Warrior step up to face him while Goku continues fighting Frieza. However Beerus is contacted by Chronoa who states that Mira and Towa are attacking the Time Nest and requests their assistance despite the fact the role Whis plays in Frieza's defeat. As a result, when Frieza resorts to his Earth Breaker, Goku and all those saved by Whis are killed by the Earth's destruction, save for the Future Warrior who is pulled out just in time by Xeno Trunks. The Warrior learns that Towa hacked the Time Patrol's communication systems and pretended to be Chronoa to lure Whis and Beerus away altering the events of Age 779. Beerus is outraged by her blasphemous deception of him and is convinced by Chronoa to aid the Time Patrol in fixing it. Whis aids the Warrior with Temporal Do-Over allowing them to stop Frieza's Earth Breaker with a Ki Blast and Vegeta swears they will not allow him to pull the same move twice. This causes Golden Frieza and Metal Cooler to power up to their Supervillain forms, however they are defeated by the combined might of the two Super Saiyan Blues and the Future Warrior. Goku thanks the Warrior after the fight and promises to repay them, leading to him aiding the Future Warrior in the final battle with Mira in his final form.

The Masked Saiyan Saga

Having learned that Bardock is the Masked Saiyan, Xeno Trunks and the Future Warrior investigate Age 737 to learn more. They witnesses 1st Form Frieza use his Supernova to destroy Planet Vegeta like he did in the prologue. However it is revealed that Towa and Mira used a Wormhole to save Bardock from being killed. Xeno Trunks and the Future Warrior observe this and follow the Time Breaker's past selves to Earth in Age ???, where they are confronted by Masked Saiyan and Towa's present self. During the fight, it is implied that after being saved by the wormhole, Bardock escaped into the distant past presumably resulting in his encounter with Frieza's ancestor Chilled and his transformation into a Super Saiyan, leading to Chilled's death and creating a time paradox that leads to Chilled passing on knowledge of the Super Saiyans to his descendants. It is also implied that Towa and Mira captured at some point after this, as the SSJ Bardock's battle with Chilled is mentioned to be considered an official part of history as Frieza Race Time Patroller Jierra was sent back in time to ensure Chilled survived his injuries long enough to pass on the knowledge of the Super Saiyans to his descendants.

Frieza's Spaceship Rift

Before the main story of Xenoverse 2, the Demon Scientist Towa tricks Navel into taking one of the Distorted Time Eggs she created in an failed attempt to replicate Tokitoki's Egg artificially, onto Frieza's Spaceship in a timeline when Frieza was still in power. This creates a massive time rift around Frieza's Spaceship that appears in Conton City and is contained in a Time Miniature by Chronoa who finds that the rifts are large and stable. She sends several Time Patrollers to investigate the cause by having them go undercover under the pretense of joining Frieza's army. The Frieza Race Future Warrior is one of those Time Patrollers and is seen investigating the rift in the prologue where he watches Ginyu drilling some low ranking soldiers and Frieza walks by commenting on his army's growing strength while noting the lack of skilled fighters and decides he must do something himself to change that.

After bringing an item to Appule, they are let inside the ship where they can join Frieza's army to investigate without coming into contact with Frieza. The warrior passes Frieza's test. From here on they are forced to choose between two factions lead by Zarbon and Dodoria who are vying for Frieza's favor. Frieza encourages this in-fighting as it will weed out the weaker members. Frieza watches the warrior's growth as they end up challenging the leader of the rival faction alongside the leader of the faction they choose, though the rival leader is spared and Frieza decides to give them a second chance by demoting them somewhat. Eventually, the warrior grows tired of the leader of the faction, challenges, and defeats them, causing the leader to submit to their former underling. Frieza and Captain Ginyu are both impressed causing Ginyu to offer them a chance to join the Ginyu Force and they pass becoming a member of the Elite Mercenary group. However the Warrior eventually challenges and defeats the entire Ginyu Force, catching the attention of both Cooler and Frieza, forcing the Warrior to make a choose between the two brother's factions.

FighterZ

Main article: Dragon Ball FighterZ Frieza is the main protagonist of the Enemy Warrior Arc, where he is the fighter summoned by Android 21 to house the player's soul as part of an experiment; he is one of the many fighters revived by Android 21 via the Namekian Dragon Balls. As a result, Frieza himself is stripped of his own free will as his body becomes unmovable when the soul disagrees, which sparks an outrage, however Android 16 assures Frieza that his true self will surface the longer he fights with the soul linked to him.

After finding and recruiting Nappa, Captain Ginyu and the rest of the Ginyu Force (who had also been revived by the Dragon Balls), Frieza decides to set out on a quest to find the person responsible for not only implanting a soul in his body, but suppressing his and the other fighters' power by emitting long-range, ki-suppressing waves. During this quest he constantly takes his frustration out on the soul with verbal tirades, but eventually comes to terms that the soul inside his body is actually a capable fighter. It is also revealed that Frieza's DNA was among those whose cells were combined by Dr. Gero's Supercomputer to form the genetic makeup of Android 21 who was created from the Earthling mother of Dr. Gero's deceased son with was used as the template for Android 16.

He eventually encounters the revived Cell (for the first time as their encounter in filler never occurred) who explains Android 21 had tried to control Cell with an artificial soul but he bent it to his will. Though Frieza's underlings dislike his arrogant attitude and lack of respect, Frieza accepts Cell's offer of an alliance to take down Android 21 who is the de facto leader of the Red Ribbon Army after Dr. Gero's death as Cell has no interest in it or its goals. Their team up causes Android 21 to send a artificial soul linked Android 18 to deal with them while they are still weak. Android 21 reveals herself and she notes that she does not dismiss the idea of universal conquest though it is not her main goal which is to consume and absorb them and the Z Fighters using the clones as simply appetizers to satisfy her hunger until as is ready for the main course . However Android 18 is defeated, though Android 21 notices Goku and Krillin approaching and plays the victim claiming Android 18 was injured protecting her from the villains which the two Z Fighters readily believe as Krillin angrily steps up to avenge his wife alongside Goku. However after the battle they notice Android 21 has gotten away. The villains inform the Z Fighters they had been played and Android 21 is enemy to them both. Goku suggests they put aside their differences for the time being and mentions Bulma has invented a machine that blocks the waves which intrigues Frieza and Cell. They end up assisting the Z Fighters in protecting Bulma's ship with contains the device from 21's clones.

Frieza is left without much of a choice in the matter but to join forces with them as the soul convinces Frieza it is necessary to defeat Android 21 forcing Frieza to agree lest he wants to be stuck as a statue, though both Frieza and Cell note it is a temporary truce. While the concept of having to work with Goku disgusts him greatly, he is willing to fight for a mutual cause, even having a few laughs at the expense of fighters like Gotenks and Yamcha.

Eventually Android 21 sends Android 16 to eliminate Frieza, his henchman, Cell, and the Z Fighters though in reality she is aware he has been secretly working to thwart her as he was the one who used the soul linking system without her approval. Frieza and Cell have no qualms about destroying Android 16, though Krillin is reluctant as he sees 16 as a friend, though hopes he will give up before he is destroyed. Android 16 is defeated, though Android 21 shows up and reveals her true form which is very Majin like in overall appearance while having a tail like Frieza's (presumably influenced by Frieza and his father's cells as she has Perfect Cell's genetic makeup), pointy Namekian like ears, and white hair (presumably influenced by her Earthling and Saiyan cells) making her a new type of Bio-Android designed to succeed Cell who the computer viewed as a failure for his defeat and the destruction of Present Cell. She reveals she sent Android 16 to die for his betrayal and proceeds to attack but suddenly she weakens causing Cell and Frieza to attempt to kill her, though Android 16 oddly shields her. However Android 21 cruelly reveals she faked her weakness knowing Android 16 would shield her all her to destroy him herself which she does killing him showing she has inherited Frieza's sadism and cruelty. However Android 21 states she is not ready to feed on them just yet and leaves.

Realizing the clones are the only thing keeping Android 21's hunger in check as well as depriving her of them will prevent her from becoming stronger than she is, Frieza convinces his henchman and allies that eliminating them should be their top priority as it will be the best way to lure her out in addition to being a fitting way to punishing her for creating clones of him. His plan worked as Android 21 was outraged when she noticed the number of clones was depleting rapidly and realizes Frieza is likely the one behind it. Her outrage combined with her growing hunger causes Android 21 to lose her composer and seek out her enemies take revenge and consume them.

Frieza would lead their combined forces against Android 21 in a volcanic region resembling the remains of Planet Namek (in other Arcs, the battle instead takes place on the Sacred World of the Kai). However Android 21 proves to be too powerful despite their combined efforts so they employ a risky plan involving cranking Bulma's machine to maximum output. However the machine leaves everyone but Frieza, Cell, and Goku powerless, though restores enough of Frieza, Cell, and Goku's strength that they are able to destroy Android 21 together with a combined energy attack. However true to their word, Frieza and Cell decide to end their truce with the Z Fighters as their power is restored with Android 21's death, though Cell decides to remain allied with Frieza as they share a common enemy in the Z Fighters, while Nappa wants to take revenge on Goku and Vegeta, and the Ginyu Force are simply happy to follow Frieza order as it allows them to make up for their past defeat on Namek. However the outcome of this battle is not shown, thus it is unknown if the revived Frieza Force and Cell defeated their enemies or if they all sent to Earth's Hell after being killed again.

Power

Manga and Anime

Frieza is one of the most powerful mortal warriors in Universe 7 and the multiverse as a whole. He was born a mutant with abnormally great power in comparison to the rest of his race.[21] Even though the rest of his family are strong, Frieza has always been in a completely different league.[22] The intensity of Frieza's power even at his weakest can effortlessly destroy entire planets. Upon hearing that Frieza was defeated, the God of Destruction Beerus was shocked that this was possible (by anyone besides himself). He is also recognized as a prodigy of such innate talent and natural growth that he became known as the most powerful warrior in the universe with no real training or proper fighting style. Even more, his mutant genes seem to let him grow in strength in a far shorter period of time than most. After training for the first time in his life; with only four months of training, he shattered his previous limitations and quickly adjusted to his newfound power, developing a state on the level of gods, a feat all the more impressive considering he did so with virtually no help.

In his First Form, Frieza killed King Vegeta with a single blow, and fatally pummeled Nail with a single hand. Once at his maximum power of 530,000, First Form Frieza was able to fend off the combined efforts of Vegeta, Gohan and Krillin despite their considerable growth in respective power. In his Second Form, Frieza calmly handled the trio with little effort and claimed his power level to be over 1,000,000. Only against Piccolo (recently trained by King Kai and merged with Nail) did Frieza fight seriously. Once outmatched, Frieza used his Third Form, quickly dominating Piccolo with a torturous onslaught and managed to repel Gohan's massive rage-charged blast. Frieza claims it would be easy for him to defeat Krillin, Gohan, Vegeta, and Piccolo in his Third Form, but transforms into his Final Form to fill them with fear.

In his Final Form, Frieza's suppressed power of a mere 1% was more than a match for the four fighters, they couldn't see his movements (except for Vegeta, who received a Saiyan Power boost) and proceeded to torture and kill Vegeta. Frieza met his first true challenge in Goku and fought on par with him despite his tremendous Saiyan Power increase. Once utilizing 50% of his full power, Frieza quickly dominated Goku, even overpowering his Kaio-ken x10, noting that even a third of his full power would easily handle Goku. Against Goku's Kaio-ken x20 assault, 50% was enough to disperse Goku's Kamehameha with a single hand, only sustaining minor burns. Frieza survived a Large Spirit Bomb, though it damaged his left eye and severed part of his tail. Once Goku obtained Super Saiyan, Frieza utilizes 100%, holding his own for a while against Goku, landing some blows, but he is ultimately outclassed.

One year after his defeat on Namek, he was restored with cybernetic parts that made him much stronger than before and Frieza is certain he could defeat Super Saiyan Goku. Iin the anime, King Kai notes that Frieza's Supernova is ten times stronger than the Death Ball he used to destroy Namek. Still, he was easily killed by Super Saiyan Future Trunks.

In Dragon Ball Super, after being revived and organically reconstituted, Frieza trains for four months. After unlocking much of his latent potential, Frieza's power increased dramatically, as Gohan openly felt that his full power could not defeat First Form Frieza. Frieza easily defeated Super Saiyan Gohan and killed Piccolo with a single shot. Merely powering-up into Final Form disintegrated nearly all his 1,000 soldiers. In this form, Frieza is strong enough to fight on par with Goku (who had reached the level of gods).[23] Krillin and Gohan note that they could not see either Goku or Frieza's movements (while they had previously seen Super Saiyan God Goku and suppressed Beerus' movements). Against Goku's Super Saiyan Blue, Frieza transforms into Golden Frieza and although the two initially seem on par with each other, Frieza soon proves to be stronger. At full power, Frieza says he could probably kill Super Saiyan Blue Goku in an instant if he was serious. However, Frieza tires rapidly, having not adjusted to his new form, until eventually his blows become ineffective. Upon returning to his normal form, despite his exhaustion, Frieza instantly destroyed the Earth.

In the Universe Survival Saga, despite being immobilized for over a year since entering hell, Frieza's control of his ki grew through constant image training. This newfound refined control let Frieza use the form for extended periods of time with virtually no strain. In the anime, this growth let him remain unaffected by the Energy of Destruction and ultimately take control of it. At this point, Ro noted that Frieza was more of a God of Destruction than Sidra and doubted that the latter could destroy Frieza. Later, Golden Frieza and Super Saiyan Blue Goku were both knocked out with a simultaneously blow to each other, with Whis noting that the two were equal in power. In the manga, Goku and Frieza battle each other ending with both equally beaten up. Based on this fight, Goku is unsure of who would win between Vegeta and Frieza. However, Frieza acknowledges that he is still weaker than Beerus.

During the Tournament of Power, Final Form Frieza eliminated several fighters. In the anime, Frieza easily defeated the likes of Catopesra, Napapa, Murichim (Universe 10's presumed ace fighter) and Jimizu, as well as causing Roselle to purposefully ring out to avoid Frieza's torture and eliminating Frost in his 100% Power form with a single ki blast, although Frost had his guard down. In an attempt to defeat Frieza, Cabba turned Super Saiyan 2 and attacked with a Galick Cannon; however, it was revealed Frieza had taken no damage and had transformed into Golden Frieza. At this point, Cabba was no match for the tyrant and knocked him out of the arena with a ki blast.

When Goku began struggling against the team assault of Super Saiyan 2 Caulifla and Super Saiyan 2 Kale, despite their combined massive might and perfectly synchronized combos, Frieza saw them simply as entertainment, and when Super Saiyan 2 Caulifla prepared a Crush Cannon to fire at Frieza, Frieza opted to stay in his final form and prepared a Death Ball to clash with Caulifla - however, Goku insisted to finish the fight himself.

Against Agnilasa, the combined machine went after Frieza over Super Saiyan God Goku due to believing him to be weaker. Together with the remaining members of Team Universe 7, Frieza engaged in a beam struggle with Agnilasa as Golden Frieza but still were almost overwhelmed. It was only when Android 17 damaged Agnilasa's energy reactor that Frieza and his teammates were able to knock Agnilasa out of the arena.

In the manga, Final Form Frieza easily caught Lavender and Basil off guard to eliminate them. Frieza overwhelms base Caulifla and despite becoming a Super Saiyan, Frieza overpowers her by simply hurling stone slabs at her. After Caulifla catches Frieza off-guard, the tyrant uses his Golden form and easily makes sport of her, even with help from base Kale and Super Saiyan Cabba. When Kale transforms into a Legendary Super Saiyan, Frieza lets his guard down and is beaten down senselessly - believing it is an ordinary Super Saiyan form which he can easily handle. However despite this he insists to Goku that he would be more than enough to handle Kale once he got serious.

In the anime, Frieza was able to match Dyspo in combat and keep up with his speed. Once he transformed into Golden Frieza, Frieza was able to easily overpower Dyspo, with Khai noting that Frieza is faster than Dyspo. However, once Dyspo activated his Super Maximum Light Speed Mode, his speed is formidable enough that he pushes Frieza to the edge of the stage. However after working with Gohan, the two are able to find a way to eliminate him.

While Top is in a beam struggle with Android 17, Frieza sneaks behind him and attacks him with a barrage of Death Beams. The Death Beams injure Top, however, once Top assumes his Destroyer Form, Frieza is pummeled and barely saved from elimination thanks to Android 17's quick thinking. Frieza recovers quickly and manages to briefly paralyze Top with his psychic powers and proceeds to use a number of different attacks, yet unfortunately, they are ineffective, and Top proceeds to break free from the paralysis. Frieza is then hit by an attack from Jiren, yet he remained conscious and later attacked the mighty Pride Trooper but even after becoming Golden Frieza, he was easily defeated by Jiren.

After Jiren is weakened from fighting Ultra Instinct Goku, the exhausted Golden Frieza was able to initially fight evenly with the foe and gained an advantage using his psychic powers. Jiren however, gets a second wind thanks to Top and soon turns the tables of the fight. Working alongside Goku, he and Frieza showed remarkable synergy together, able to fight on par with Jiren. With the additional help from Android 17, the arch-enemies were able to push Jiren on the defensive, ultimately allowing Goku and Frieza's finisher to eliminate the foe by dragging him down with them.

In the manga, Frieza was able to easily overwhelm the exhausted Top. After Jiren powered up and easily defeated Vegeta's evolved Super Saiyan Blue, Golden Frieza was confident that even without using his full power he could buy enough time against Jiren to win. However in the end he proved to be outmatched and required Android 17's assistance.

In the Super 17 Saga of Dragon Ball GT, Frieza and Cell are stated to have powered up after training in Hell for many years, and confidently challenge Goku, even after having witnessed him fight an opponent such as Kid Buu. It should also be noted that he and Cell were tasked with dealing with Goku, implying they are more powerful than the villains up to that point who occupied Hell who instead went to Earth, including foes like General Rilldo. Ultimately however, Goku is able to outmaneuver them with his child form's base power.

Films

In the Dragon Ball: Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans OVAs, Ghost Frieza is able to put a fight against Super Saiyan Future Trunks and Super Saiyan Vegeta, thanks to the power boost he got from Dr. Raichi. In Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn, Final Form Frieza appears as the leader of the villains who have escaped Hell; however, base form Gohan defeated Frieza in one blow.

In Dragon Ball Z: The Real 4-D, his power level is greatly augmented to 5,300,000,000 in his true form. He was able to dominate base form Goku, and when he transformed into a Super Saiyan, Frieza, still in his final form easily overwhelmed Goku without a scratch, leaving him barely able to move following their Kamehameha vs. Death Ball clash. When Super Saiyan Vegeta, Piccolo, and Krillin joined the battle, he was able to easily blast them away, only to be killed when Goku created a massive Spirit Bomb.

"Holy crap! That's incredible! Just what kind of training did he do?!"
— Goku amazed by Frieza's power when entering his fourth form on Earth

In Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’, upon being revived and regenerated into his fully organic first form, Frieza notes that his power is rusty due to years trapped in Earth's Hell. After training for four months, his power easily surpasses the Z Fighters in his first form and was able to place Gohan into a near-death state with a single blow. Once unleashing the full power of his true form he was capable of fighting Goku in his God-like Saiyan state, but is inevitably outclassed. He also speculated that four months of training could have him reach a power level of 1.3 million, although it was unclear whether that was referring to his overall power level (which had been 120 million during the events of the Namek Saga) or specifically to the power level in his first form.

Further Evolution Frieza3

Golden Frieza while he's stomping Goku

As Golden Frieza, the tyrant outclasses both Goku and Vegeta in their Super Saiyan Blue forms,[24] even using his full power, being so strong that one of his suppressed attacks was able to knock Goku back without actually hitting him.[25][26] Even after Golden Frieza's power and stamina dropped dramatically, due to not having adjusted to his new form, he still fought on par with Goku - though Goku could now damage him - until finally Frieza's power dropped enough that he unfazed Goku even with a direct energy punch to the face. After Frieza regresses to his Final Form, he still retained enough power to near-instantly destroy Earth. Even more, as revealed by Whis, Frieza was able to survive the explosion.

In Dragon Ball Super: Broly, Frieza has grown more powerful. Vegeta even feared that Frieza may train and come back one day with a power stronger than his golden state. Against Super Saiyan Broly, in his final form, Frieza was beaten instantly. Frieza was confident in fighting Super Saiyan Broly as Golden Frieza and his resulting transformation forced Broly backwards. However, Golden Frieza's power was still inferior to Broly's newly gained power, while he was on the losing side the whole fight, in the novel it was stated that the punches that Frieza landed were able to stagger Broly, and full power blows were able to force Broly to dodge. Frieza managed to survive Broly's wrath for an entire hour.

Statements by authors and guidebooks

It is said that from the moment he was born, Frieza was already more powerful than King Cold.[11]

Goku and Vegeta vs Frieza

Frieza faces Goku and Vegeta together

In his true form on Namek, Frieza has a power level of 120,000,000 at 100% of full power according to Daizenshuu 7 and several video games. The World of Dragon Ball Z states that Goku and Frieza were equal but the power output of 100% drained Frieza rapidly, which lead to his defeat. The movie pamphlet for Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might states that Frieza has a power level of 85,000 in his first form. Daizenshuu 2 states that Frieza's dormant power in his final form is "immeasurable". At the same time, Akira Toriyama stated in Dragon Ball Volume ‘F’ that even Frieza is no match for Beerus, no matter what he does.[27] The website for Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’ states that after his training Frieza is "infinitely stronger" than he was on Namek.[28]

An advertisement for Dragon Ball Z: The Real 4-D has Frieza state that his power level in The Real 4-D is 5,300,000,000.[29]

The January 2017 V-Jump article on the rivals appearing in Dragon Ball Super noted that Golden Frieza's strength surpasses Super Saiyan Blue, it also ranks Golden Frieza as an 8/12 on the danger scale.[30]

Prior to Goku achieving Ultra Instinct Sign, Frieza and Goku were tied for the No. 1 spot on Team Universe 7 in terms of power.[31]

By the time of Dragon Ball Super: Broly, Frieza has grown in power in his quest to reach the top - but is still not as strong as Beerus.[32]

Video Games

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 describes 100% Power Frieza and Super Saiyan Goku as being equal in speed and strength during their final battle on Namek.

In the Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans, Ghost Frieza and Ghost Cooler together are able to hold their own against the Z Fighters, but are ultimately defeated. When Ghost Frieza is later fought again on Planet Kuhn, he has further powered-up into Psycho Frieza and is able to hold his own against the entire Z Fighter team at their strongest, but is still defeated in the end.

In the story of Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai, (which takes place two years after Buu's defeat) Frieza is able to tire out Super Saiyan Gohan using his Fourth Form only in his base power, Piccolo and Gohan also reference him as being more powerful than Super Buu. Frieza at full power defeats Legendary Super Saiyan Broly behind the scenes (Legendary Super Saiyan Broly was later shown to give Super Saiyan 3 Goku trouble, meaning that at full power Frieza had seemingly equalled Super Saiyan 3 Goku in power), and is shown to be stronger than Super Gotenks (with Pikkon also referencing him to be stronger than Cooler, Cell, and the aforementioned Broly). Later on in the story, Frieza absorbs large quantities of evil energy, making him far stronger than anyone else on the planet. He uses his evil energy in order to vastly power himself up, giving himself unlimited energy; when this happens, he briefly reclaims his title of strongest in the universe until he loses power due to a large excess of positive energy built up by Krillin and Android 18.

In Dragon Ball Xenoverse, during the Frieza Saga, Frieza is given a dark power up by the Time Breakers. At 100% power in Fourth Form he is strong enough to fight both the Future Warrior and Super Saiyan Goku at the same time, and even then, in the end Super Saiyan Goku needs to utilize a second Spirit Bomb during their battle. When Frieza returns possessed by Demon God Demigra (four years after the battle with Buu), he - together with the powered-up Cell and Buu - are able to briefly hold their own against the Future Warrior and Goku (who possesses unmastered god power), however they are beaten.

In Xenoverse 2, during the Resurrection 'F' Saga, Elder Kai tells Xeno Trunks that he'll be sorry if he thinks that he can defeat him again with a single swing of a blade. Later 1st Form Frieza is powered up by Towa's dark magic and can take on the 2nd Future Warrior. He powers up into his Golden Form, and with the sudden appearance of Meta Cooler, together they were able to hold their own against Goku, Vegeta (both of whom were in their Super Saiyan Blue forms), and the 2nd Future Warrior simultaneously. In their rematch after the Future Warrior stops Frieza from blowing up the Earth, Golden Frieza and Meta Cooler further power-up into their Supervillain forms and combat them a second time, however the two brothers were defeated again (this time for good).

Golden Frieza is said to have unmatched power in promo material for Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission 2. In the opening for Ultimate Mission 5, Golden Frieza is shown deflecting a ki blast from Jiren.

In Dragon Ball FighterZ, Frieza's power hasn't improved much from his last resurrection. With his power (along with everyone else's) being suppressed by Dr. Gero's suppression waves while still capable of handling the likes of Cell and competing against Goku and Vegeta, Frieza however on his own was slaughtered by Android 21.

Abilities

Main article: List of techniques used by Frieza

Death Beam

Main article: Death Beam

RoF33

Frieza fires a Death Beam

The Death Beam is a piercing beam of energy fired from the finger, it is Frieza's signature and most heavily used technique. If the technique is not able to pierce a target it instead creates a huge city sized explosion. To perform the technique, the user extends his right arm and fires a small, thin, very fast and concentrated laser-like beam of ki from his index finger, which barrels down and pierces through the opponent. The user is able to fire the attack very quickly, while maintaining precise aim. The technique has a faster but weaker variant, and a larger and more powerful rapid fire variant. After perfecting ki control, Frieza develop seeking Death Beams that would go on even after piercing a target and seek out more targets.

Death Ball

The Death Ball is Frieza's ultimate attack and is usually used as a last resort in battle or as a planet destroying method. The technique is normally a ball of energy charged on the finger and then thrown at the target, though after his revival Frieza displays a more powerful version charged with his whole hand.

Death Cannon

Last Emperor2

Frieza's last resort Death Cannon

The Death Cannon is Frieza's primary Full Power Energy Wave technique. It is a high powered blast of energy and has different variants depending on the form Frieza is utilizing. A version of it that uses up most of Frieza's energy is a last resort technique of the tyrant.

Nova Strike

Main article: Nova Strike An attack where Frieza wraps himself in energy and flies straight at his foe to tackle them. Used against Goku on Namek, and also to eliminate Jiren during the Tournament of Power.

Death Saucer

Main article: Death Saucer

FriezaHomingDestructoDiskKiezan

Frieza holding two Death Saucers

After witnessing Krillin's Destructo Disc, Frieza quickly created his own upgraded version named the Death Saucer. This technique is the same as the Destructo Disc, however it is much faster and it homes in on its target, following them even if it initially misses. Frieza can also manually control the Death Saucers.

While most beings in the Dragon Ball franchise usually transform to increase their power, Frieza's power is naturally so great that his base/original form struggles to properly control it, and so Frieza developed series of physical transformations to instead limit his actual strength. He originally had four forms, with his fourth being his true form and first three designed to restrict and conceal his power from his enemies. Frieza says even upon transforming to his second form has a hard time controlling himself due to the immensity of his current strength. That would suggest that the second and third forms are mere physical augmentations that allow Frieza to build enough strength to revert to his true form. This also serves to torment his opponents by giving them a false sense of hope. Transforming to a new form appears to fully rejuvenate him and even repair any damage sustained in previous forms. His fourth form even appears to regenerate any previously lost anatomy as his severed tail in his Second Form was completely restored once entering his Fourth Form.

Years after he was killed by Future Trunks, through a 4-month period of intense training, Frieza became able to instantly transform from his first form straight to his true form. To which, he obtained proper control of his true form's power, allowing him to access it unhindered. He also attained a new transformation which greatly increased his power instead.

First Form

Rof frieza

Frieza's First Form as an adult

Frieza Form 0

Frieza's First Form as a child

In his First Form, Frieza is at his shortest, child-like in statue and likewise youthful face. He has a large chestnut-shaped skull with two straight horns that protrude at near 45 degree angles. He also has a tail with a spiked end, which is relatively thick in width, as well as having three talon-like possible toes for feet.

When Frieza was a child his first form appeared different, being much pinker, lacking lines on his arms and legs and not possessing shoulder pads.

In his First Form he has purple sections on his head, shoulders, and abdomen. He has pink parts with lines appear on his arms, legs, and cheeks as well as his lilac skin on his face, feet, and hands. He has wristbands and ankle bands with brown sections with lines on the front. He also has a white natural armor covering his chest and shoulders. He has red eye pupils and large dark red lips. He wears a standard armor of his army, consisting of a purple body suit with yellow shoulder guards. He also appears to wear black shorts. He also occasionally wears a red scouter.

Second Form

Frieza Forms DBS Broly

His Second Form is similar in appearance to his father, King Cold. It overall appears as more-mature version to the First Form. In it, he grows to reaching height towering over Piccolo and his muscle mass grows equally larger sporting a bulkier and more-defined built. His face also has a more angled jaw-line and sharper nose while his horns grow longer and curve sharply upwards into near right angles. His voice grows noticeably deeper, further giving the illusion of being more mature. His armor cannot contain his form and shatters, leaving his body fully exposed.

In Dragon Ball Super: Broly, when Frieza reveals he plans to use the Earth Dragon Balls to increase his height, Kikono points out he can make himself taller by reverting to his Second Form which is revealed to be Frieza's tallest form, though Frieza angrily rejects the suggestion, reveals he wishes to be 5cm taller in his True and Golden forms.

Third Form

Main article: Transforming Ability

FriezaThirdFormNV

Frieza in his Third Form

Frieza's Third Form is the most brutish and imposing of them all, with an extremely elongated skull. His facial features contort and change, with his nose melding into his mouth to form a crude beak. His original horns recede and are now white in color, erupting in pairs along the length of his head. Two pairs of spikes grow out of his back and curve upward, and the armor on his shoulders fling themselves outward like shoulder pads. He stands upright with a slight hunch, giving a more feral demeanor to him. Frieza stated that no one had ever seen this form before. It's unknown what the exact increase of power in this form is, but he is able to completely dominate the Nail-merged Piccolo, who previously overwhelmed Frieza's second form. In the original Funimation dub, Frieza's voice becomes a synchronized duo of his first and second forms' respective voices. This effect was removed in the remastered version, making this form sound like his second form.

Final Form
FriezaFinalFormEp84

Frieza in his True Form

This form is also referred to as Super Frieza (超フリーザ Sūpā Furīza). It is the form that Frieza was born in, thus being his "true" or "base" form. This is the form that allows him to reach his full potential. Drastically differing from his previous transformations, in his Fourth Form, Frieza instead regresses, with his former form cracking and shattering like a shell, becoming a sleek and only somewhat taller than his first form and his voice becoming higher-pitched again. He overall appears as a white lizard-like, almost harmless-looking creature; his horns and spikes disappear and his physique becomes streamlined. His skin becomes pure, solid-white with purple sections on his head, shoulders, forearms, abdomen and shins. The purple lined sections on the sides of his face vanish, though the lines on his cheeks remain intact, giving his face an almost mask-like appearance. His arms, legs, cheeks, and tail is longer and white the lilac skin on his face, neck, hands, and feet. At only a mere 1% of this form's true power, he is noted to dwarf the power shown from his previous forms.

Because of his initial difficulty controlling his true power, Frieza's body is strained when unleashing too much power. As such, he would normally refrain from using this form, and even then would rely on only a small fraction of his true power. Once unleashing his true power, he proved able to hold his own against Super Saiyan Goku for a period. By the time of his second invasion of Earth, Frieza trained for four months to draw out an extraordinary amount of his latent potential. In addition to vastly increasing in power compared to his fight on Planet Namek and gaining complete control of his final form capacities, he can with no apparent problems maintain this form for as long as he desires and even access the full force of this form power for extended periods just as calmly. Even more, his mastery allows him to access this form immediately.[33] This mastered state of Frieza's Final Form has been referred to as Full Power.[34]

Since his second death and revival by Whis following the Tournament of Power, Frieza remains in his True Form when not using his Golden Form, having stopped using his lower forms as his newfound mastery of ki control thanks to his Image Training in Earth's Hell means he really no longer requires said forms for power suppression.

In Broly, Frieza reveals he plans to use the Earth Dragon Balls to wish to make his True Form 5cm taller (which would also effect his True Golden Frieza form) as anymore would be too noticable as he wants others to think it was the result of natural growth.

100% Full Power

Main article: 100% Full Power

FullPowerFrieza

Frieza in his Full Power Form

Originally, to access his full power, his body becomes noticeably affected by it. Once charging himself to at least 85% strength, the strain of containing this untamed and immense power causes his muscle mass to greatly increase. At 100%, his body becomes broader and his built engorged compared to his previously sleek frame. This also causes his body to grow noticeably taller, nearly equal to Goku in height. With his power pushed to the absolute limit, giving him strength and durability far greater than normal, he was able to fight nearly on par with Super Saiyan Goku during their final confrontation on Planet Namek. Despite his hulking frame in this state, he shows no apparent decrease in his endurance, speed, or agility. However, due to the strain on his body, he cannot maintain the maximum capacity of it for long, slowly weakening.

During the Tournament of Power, Frieza showed that even after massively increasing the might of his Final Form and fully mastering it, Frieza can still charge and focus his energy into pure might by bulking up his muscles if he wishes, further increasing his power well-beyond his normal limits. He is shown able to instantly obtain this state and to do so with no visible exhaustion or strain from doing so. This implies his control of this state has been refined to reduce the rate of stamina decline. However, he notes that it will still only be useful for a short period and best used early in the fight due to the strain still depleting his stamina faster than in his normal state.

Frieza's 100% Power form is a temporary power-up in Supersonic Warriors that can be used by Frieza in any of his states: Final form (LV1), Mecha form (LV2), and Immortal Final form (LV3). In its sequel, Supersonic Warriors 2, Frieza can use his full power through the technique named 100% Activation which, like in the previous game, does not increase his muscles but instead gives him a white and purple aura. In the story mode of Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai, Frieza can control his 100% power form while in Hell, being able to use this state without the risk of losing any stamina, making him able to stay in the form for as long as he wishes.

Mecha Frieza

Main article: Cosmic Suit

FriezaFinalFormRobotNV

Frieza in his synthetic state

Mecha Frieza (メカフリーザ), also referred to as Powered-Up Form in the manga, is Frieza rebuilt with cybernetic enhancements by scientists after what remained of the still-living Frieza was salvaged after being physically ruined while caught in Planet Namek's explosion. The whole of the lower half of his body, entire left arm, and right side of his face was replaced with scarring and metal accouterments covering what little was left of his organic self. These enhancements allowed him to exceed the limits imposed by his fully organic form, though by how much or in what way is unknown. It also was capable of generating bio-electricity, as red electrical bolts were seen emanating from him upon arrival at Earth. In the Funimation dub of Dragon Ball Z Kai, this form has a slight mechanical sound to his voice. Despite being outfitted with cybernetics, he is still susceptible to ki-sense unlike the Red Ribbon Army-created cyborgs/androids. In the anime it is said by King Kai that Mecha Frieza's Supernova is ten times stronger than the Death Ball Frieza used to destroy Namek.

Upon Future Trunks killing him, lacking a physical body, Frieza's spirit remains with the appearance of Mecha Frieza during his time in Hell until his resurrection in Resurrection ‘F’.[19] Upon his revival, he is still Mecha Frieza (in pieces), however he is soon regenerated, regaining his full organic body.

In Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors, Frieza obtains a cybernetic suit of armor that he places over his injuries after defeating Goku and which is his level two state in the game; while wearing the armor his appearance is identical to Mecha Frieza's but he is strong enough to defeat the Super Saiyans and Red Ribbon Androids. In Dragon Ball Z 2 V, when Frieza is in his alternate Cooler costume, Mecha Frieza is replaced with Meta-Cooler.

Golden Frieza

Main articles: Golden Frieza and True Golden Frieza

Golden Frieza full

Golden Frieza

During his training for a rematch against Goku, Frieza obtained this Ultimate Evolution, becoming Golden Frieza. Frieza implied that he deliberately developed the form to take on its appearance. While similar in appearance to his base form, his skin turns dark purple, gains pronounced eye ridges, and is encased in a biological armor covering all but his face, hands, and feet. It is glimmering gold in color but with a darker covering his arms and midsection down. He retains his purple plates but loses the ones on his shoulders and the ones on his forearms and shins become oval-shaped. He also grows noticeably taller and likewise gains a similar increase in muscle mass. His aura also becomes a blaze of fire-like orange.

Unlike his first three forms, this one increases his power beyond his Final Form. The increase in power is so great that Vegeta was initially too fearful to face him, with his power being massively superior to Super Saiyan Blue Goku even while holding back in an attempt to torture Goku.[25][26] The form gained open acknowledgement by even God of Destruction Beerus and his attendant Whis from Frieza's tremendous growth in power, and in the anime Goku notes that if Frieza were to fight seriously he could potentially kill Goku in an instant.

Originally, despite the immense increase of power, Frieza's lack of preparation due to impatiently wanting revenge originally left the form incomplete and with a crippling flaw. After only a few minutes of usage, the intense energy this form generates burns through Frieza's to draining him of large amounts of stamina, affecting his performance in battle before ultimately reverting to his fourth form. In the anime, Frieza also displays the ability to hold back and control his power to an extent, allowing him to last somewhat longer.

True Golden Frieza

Golden Frieza displays his perfect energy control

Later, acknowledging that the key flaw of his Golden form was an extreme disadvantage, Frieza spent his time trapped in Hell continuing his training through constant image training; he endured the constant annoyances he was subjected to and learned to completely refine his energy control despite being bound the entire time, focusing endlessly on his goal of killing Goku and how he would do it. This ultimately allowed him to master the Golden Frieza transformation and proportionately further increasing his power. In the anime he dubbed his mastered state the "True Golden Frieza". With his newfound mastery of energy manipulation, he boasts that he could maintain steadiness able to leave water unstirred while simultaneously able to unleash his power with the highest intensity. His refined control can launch beams from each finger and able to precisely control their different paths to essentially follow a target. His control reached such a level in this form that he could resist an unrefined attack from disintegrating energy of a Destroyer and even overpower it and control it as his own, although with some difficulty. By the time of Broly, Frieza was able to fight as Golden Frieza for an hour.

Rage Mode Golden Frieza

Main article: Rage Mode Golden Frieza

Angered Golden Frieza vs Full Power Jiren

Rage Mode Golden Frieza

Rage Golden Frieza is an empowered state of Golden Frieza. This form is a result of Golden Frieza becoming extremely angry and instinctually channeling that emotional energy into further raw might, drastically increasing his power. In this state Golden Frieza's eyes become bloodshot, and the veins on his skin bulge out - signifying his anger and power increase. As a result of the power up his body also begins to glow and the golden armor he possesses gains a greater shine.

However, this power boost will only last long enough to be of any use provided he still has enough natural stamina. This was seen in Resurrection ‘F’ as Frieza briefly powers up in anger when he is overpowered by Goku's, roaring in anger and glowing brightly as he powers up - causing the sea to rise, only for him to quickly afterwards collapses to his hands and knees.

Hypothetical Final Form
Episode 83 hff

Frieza's hypothetical final form

Frieza's hypothetical final form, is a form imagined by Krillin when Frieza announces he will transform into his actual fourth form in the manga and anime series. The form also appears as a technique for Frieza and other characters in the Dragon Ball Z Collectible Card Game. Overall, it appears similar to his third form with two additional horns near the front, razor-sharp jaws, and a long purple tongue. Also, in the manga, the form's shoulders are sharpened.

Full Armor Mecha Frieza

Frieza appears in this form in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2. Frieza's power increases greatly in this form, to the point of being able to fight Super Saiyan 2 Goku. In the story mode, he and Cell are revived and turned into Majins by Babidi. However, they are once again beaten by Goku and the other Z Fighters. When Majin Buu kills Babidi, Frieza and Cell turn back to their old selves and do not remember anything of being controlled by Babidi. After that, they are beaten and absorbed by Super Buu, and sent back to Hell when Super Buu is defeated. Majin Frieza is also a starter character in Dragon Ball Z 2 V. Similar to Dabura, Frieza becomes completely loyal to Babidi while under his spell, and even refers to him as his master. The Majin mark on his forehead is white instead of the usual black displayed by the other Majins.

The presence of evil energy inside him causes him to start to become Janemba, and bulks up his muscles to the size that they are usually at when he is using his Full Power. Frieza attempts to destroy the planet, but is beaten by Krillin and Android 18 after their positive energy weaken him, and he is sent to Hell. While in Hell, it is implied that Frieza may have been fully transformed into Janemba by the evil energy he generated.

In Cooler's ending of the New World Tournament in Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai - Another Road, Frieza achieves the Fourth Transformation at some point after his match with Cooler, though he is not shown in the form on-screen: after Frieza congratulates Cooler on winning the tournament, Cooler decides that he and Frieza will destroy the Saiyans with their power and he wants to have another battle with his brother to show the universe their family's true power. The two then transform (though only Cooler is shown), and attack Goku and Vegeta.

In Dragon Ball Fusions, the resulting fusion of Frieza and Final Form Cooler: Coolieza, has the appearance of Frieza in Cooler's fourth transformation. In Dragon Ball FighterZ final form Cooler has a Frieza alternate coloration.

Frieza after Xeno-Evolution

In Xenoverse 2, Frieza shaves off some of his life to achieve a greater level of power to further transform into a merger of his Golden Frieza state and the Supervillain state. In this form his skin once golden bio-suit becomes platinum in color, his eyes glow dark pink and he gains the Time Breaker's broken infinity on his forehead.

Frieza's power increases massively when he takes on this form, as despite having already been drained of most of his energy and power from fighting as Golden Frieza previously, his transformation into this form puts him at a level where he is capable of fighting against Goku and Vegeta in their Super Saiyan Blue forms - despite having already lost most of his power. Due to the circumstances, it is unknown what the true strength of Frieza in this form is (although it's believed that he's far stronger than the regular Ultimate Evolution).

Frieza achieves this form during the Dark Demon Realm Saga by Xeno-Evolving.

Frieza's Spaceship

Main article: Frieza's Spaceship The large ship designed by Kikono and utilized by Frieza and his men for interplanetary travel. Frieza has had three ships over the course of his life with his first ship being the one he used during the Genocide of the Saiyans up until it was destroyed during the Battle on Planet Namek when Namek exploded. The second originally belonged to Sorbet and was used during Frieza's Revenge though in the anime after Goku kills Frieza, Jaco confiscates it and delivers it to the Galactic Patrol. After his second revival, Frieza acquires he current spaceship which appears in Broly.

Frieza's Hover Pod

Main article: Frieza's Hover Pod A floating, egg-shaped vehicle used by Frieza as a means of transportation. Even though he is extraordinarily powerful and perfectly capable of walking and flying, Frieza (in his first form) seems to prefer using the hover pod as a means of getting around, even inside his own spaceship. The reason for this is unknown, although it is possible he sees it as a status symbol.

After his second resurrection by Whis, Frieza is shown to occasionally ride inside his hover pod while in his True Form such as when he announces his return in the Dragon Ball Super anime and in Broly.

Scouter

ImagesCANBUTQB

Frieza's New Scouter Model (Red)

For most of his life, Frieza lacked the ability to naturally sense ki and relied heavily on Scouters to detect ki. Frieza wears a scouter just before attacking Planet Vegeta and takes it off in order to fire his Eye Lasers at King Vegeta's brigade. Frieza's scouter on Namek was a newer model of the same color that was personally given to him by the Ginyu Force. Frieza uses this scouter to find Guru's home. When Frieza personally fights Nail, his scouter measures the lone Namekian's power level (42,000), which somewhat impresses the emperor. After having severely beaten up Nail, Frieza uses his scouter to contact the Ginyu Force, only to find out they are all defeated. While fighting against Vegeta, Gohan, Krillin and Dende, Frieza uses his scouter to measure Vegeta's power, ending the conflict when Frieza's scouter blows up due to Vegeta's power now rivaling his own, apparently, much to Frieza's disbelief. Frieza's newer model appears under the name New Model Scouter (Red) in the Xenoverse series.

King Cold's Spaceship

Main article: King Cold's Spaceship A large spaceship owned by his father King Cold, which Frieza uses when he first visits Planet Vegeta with his father in Broly. The ship later recovers Frieza after his battle on Planet Namek and is used by Mecha Frieza and King Cold to invade Earth. However it is destroyed during their fatal conflict with Future Trunks.

Kochikame

ZDF(EoB)

Frieza with Zarbon and Dodoria in Episode of Bardock

Frieza makes some appearances in other mangas that are made for special events, like a special chapter made for the 30th anniversary of KochiKame. Frieza is waiting with Appule on Namek for the three other Dragon Balls to be found, when Kankichi Ryotsu comes and says that Frieza cannot park his spaceship there. Frieza uses a Death Beam to kill Kankichi but, to their surprise, he is still alive. Kankichi yells that they have to pay the fine and Frieza attacks with an energy wave, which also fails to hurt Kankichi. When Kankichi Ryotsu pulls a Rocket Launcher out of the air, Appule says that there is no doubt and that Kankichi Ryotsu is a gag manga character. Frieza says he does not care because he is the strongest being in the universe and he fires blasts at Kankichi until he is tired. When even this fails Kankichi Ryutsu, Frieza leaves in his spaceship with Appule, and says that nothing happened.

In J-Stars Victory Vs, a special intro occurs between them that references this moment, where Frieza immediately recognizes Kankichi and will not him off easy. Kankichi himself on the other hand rebukes the emperor and merely brings back up the topic of Frieza still needing to pay the fine (and owing Kankichi sushi).

Other

Frieza has made numerous appearances in other media. He has appeared in Japanese commercials, notably for the video game Super Gokuden: Kakusei-Hen.

On March 25, 2006, on Fuji TV, Frieza and Goku appeared in the segment IQ Mirror Mistake 7 (IQミラーまちがい7, Aikyuu Miraa Machigai Nana) in the game show IQ Supplement (IQサプリ). In this segment, 7 mistakes can be found throughout a short animation made specifically for the show. In the scene, Frieza has gathered all seven Dragon Balls and is about to summon forth the Namekian dragon, when Goku suddenly appears. Goku vows to stop him, but Frieza has other plans. Frieza rapidly transforms to his final form, while Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan. The two fly across the face of Namek, exchanging blows with neither backing down. Frieza prepares and fires a "Destroy The Planet!" Death Ball at Goku, but the Saiyan counters it with a Super Kamehameha. The two waves collide, but the Super Kamehameha is too much for Frieza to handle. On April 7, 2007, IQ Mirror Mistake 7 was re-aired during Fuji TV's historical special Nippon Ijin Taishō · Saikyō no Ijin wa Dare? (日本偉人大賞・最強の偉人は誰?; lit. "Japan's Great Awards - Who is the Strongest Hero?"), which also featured a special segment in which Goku and the World Tournament Announcer appear. IQ Mirror Mistake 7 was also shown by Ryūsei Nakao (Frieza's Japanese voice) at Animazement 2008.

The Japanese nu metal/punk band Maximum the Hormone released 「F」 as part of an A-side of a music single on July 9, 2008. The entirety of the song references Frieza and his character's arc, with the single itself rising as high as number two on the Oricon music chart. Akira Toriyama later credited the song for inspiring both the concept and title of the film Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’. As a result, the song was featured in both a promotional trailer and in the film itself as an insert song.

A commercial for "Kirin Mets Grape Frieza" depicts Frieza entering his various transformation states barring his Ultimate Evolution state.

In the manga Black Cat, the character Sven Vollfied is often seen using his cell phone. At the top of the phone's wrist strap is a miniature-sized badge of Frieza's head. A caricature of Frieza mixed with grays was parodied as a mech pilot in an episode of Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi. The anime Yakitate!! Japan featured a spoof re-enactment of the fight between Goku and Frieza, with a character clad in a refrigerator representing the latter. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable features a "Stand" character named "Red Hot Chili Pepper", whose design is confirmed by author Hirohiko Araki to be based on Frieza's final form. The Cartoon Network staple Codename: Kids Next Door had a parody of their own of the climactic fight and the Frieza character, with the Delightful Children From Down the Lane portraying him as a multi-headed monstrosity.

Reception

  • His voice as done by Linda Young in the English Funimation dub has been criticized; with that and various features in his character design like his dark colored lips, this has led to some gender confusion with new fans.[38]
  • Frieza was mentioned as one of the "most beloved characters" in an article by GamePro.[39] Also on pages D1 and D3 of The Ledger's December 8, 1999 paper, he is one of the reasons that DBZ was listed as a violent show for children back then stating, "In one recent episode, beads of sweat form on the brow of a character named Vegeta, as he is nearly strangled to death by an evil foe named Frieza. In another, Frieza uses the horns on his head to impale a good guy named Krillin through the chest."[40] As well as opinions on his appearance: "Little Gohan is abruptly in the icy metallic grip of one of his arch-nemeses, Frieza, a silvery androgynous giant who looks like a cross between the monster in Alien and Batman's Mr. Freeze." [41]
  • Additionally, Frieza is on the "Top Ten Anime Villains" of all time by watchmojo.com and is ranked as #1 on the list.[42]
  • He was also in a "List of the Top 11 Anime Villains" made by That Dude in The Suede (an affiliate of That Guy with the Glasses) in which Frieza is ranked #6.[43]
  • A Spanish thrash metal band named Crisix has made a song called "Frieza The Tyrant", from the album Rise...Then Rest. The song is an homage to "the most evil villain in Dragon Ball", as described by the band, and lyrics are about the darkness of Frieza's nature and the end of his empire.[44] The song's introduction is a remix of "Genkidama", from Dragon Ball Z's Japanese original soundtrack.
  • A Japanese nu metal band named Maximum the Hormone even dedicated a song to Frieza, titled "F". The titular reference to Frieza's name as simply "F" would later inspire Akira Toriyama in his choice to title the upcoming 2015 movie involving Frieza's resurrection, Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’.
    • The song "F" also appeared in promotional trailer and as an insert song for the Resurrection ‘F’ film itself.

List of characters killed by Frieza

  • Four Saiyan Army Snipers - When Frieza tried out the scouters for the first time after being promoted by his father King Cold to ruling the Saiyans, he noticed several Saiyans were ready to assassinate him so he killed each of them with Death Beams in the towers they were hiding in.
  • King Vegeta – Killed by Frieza with a single punch in the anime.
  • King Vegeta's Elite Soldiers – Killed by Frieza using his Eye Lasers in the anime.
  • Bardock – Bardock was apparently killed when Frieza threw his Supernova at Planet Vegeta to blow it up. Several media released after Dragon Ball Z: Bardock - The Father of Goku show that Bardock was sent to another time instead of dying.[46][47]
  • Frieza Soldiers – Killed by the Supernova that Frieza uses when he decides to destroy Planet Vegeta, as they were in the way.
  • Saiyans – When Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta, most of the entire Saiyan race was killed. Casualties included Bardock, King Vegeta and his majordomo, Gine, Leek, Nion, Moroko, Taro.
  • Frost – Killed in a video game only by pre-Battle of Namek Frieza during the Tournament of Time,[48] sending Frost back to his proper time with no memories of the tournament.
  • Namekians – Killed many during the war on Namek. They were later revived with the Dragon Balls.
  • Cargo – Killed by Frieza with an energy blast over Moori's shoulder in the manga. He was later revived with the Dragon Balls with the rest of the Namekians.
  • Orlen – Killed in the anime only. He returned to Frieza after discovering the hidden village Vegeta attacked, but as he had not found out where Vegeta had hidden the Dragon Ball, Frieza killed him with his Eye Laser, threatening to do the same to Zarbon if he did not find Vegeta and make him talk.
  • Namole – Killed in the anime only. While Namole timidly delivered the news that the Ginyu Force were arriving soon, Frieza kills him for showing fear in his presence.
  • Dende – Frieza saw that Dende had the power to heal, so he killed him with a Death Beam to eliminate this threat. He was later revived with the Dragon Balls.
  • Vegeta – Frieza mercilessly beat him up, and then when Goku came and Vegeta talked about Frieza being beaten by a Saiyan, Frieza killed the Saiyan Prince with a Death Beam through the chest just to shut him up. Before dying, he told Goku to destroy Frieza, but was later revived with the Dragon Balls. When the timeline is altered in Dragon Ball Xenoverse, Frieza kills Vegeta before Goku even arrives.
  • Krillin – Frieza lifted him into the air using telekinesis and blew him up when he clenched his fist, inducing Goku's first Super Saiyan transformation. He was later revived with the Namekian Dragon Balls. When the timeline is altered in Dragon Ball Xenoverse, Frieza kills Krillin before Goku even arrives.
  • Unnamed Captain – Killed by Frieza, who pierced him with his hand from behind after he retreated from Future Trunks.
  • Tagoma – Killed in the movie only by Frieza when he says that Frieza should just forget about Goku and the others.
  • North City Civilians – Upon beginning his invasion of Earth, Frieza destroys North City with a Death Beam, killing all of the civilians. Though, they are revived later by Bulma (movie only).
  • Gohan – Put into a clinically dead state by Frieza when he punched him so hard his heart stopped. He was revived when Piccolo restarted his heart with a kiai.
  • Piccolo – Killed in the anime only by Frieza when he stepped in front of a Death Beam meant for Gohan. He was later revived with the Dragon Balls (anime only[49]).
  • Frieza Force – In the movie all of the soldiers are killed by Frieza after they were defeated by the Dragon Team. In the anime, Frieza kills all of the soldiers simply by transforming into his final form, the resulting power surge killing them all.
  • Everyone on Earth - Frieza destroys Earth during his fight with Vegeta, killing everyone on the planet, except for Whis, Beerus, Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, Tien Shinhan, Master Roshi, Bulma, and Jaco. Whis utilized his time manipulation powers to rewind time so that Goku could stop Frieza from destroying Earth, thus preventing their deaths.
    • In the story of Xenoverse 2, this also includes Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, Tien, Roshi, Bulma and Jaco, as time is altered so that Frieza successfully kills everyone on Earth (other than Beerus and Whis who had been tricked by Towa into traveling to the Time Nest in Age 852 and the Future Warrior who was saved at the last minute by Xeno Trunks). However these events are undone by Whis' Temporal Do-Over and the Future Warrior manages to stop Frieza's Earth Breaker with an energy blast, forcing Golden Frieza and the Metal Cooler to take on their Supervillain forms).
  • Universe 9's Assassins and their leader - All of them were killed by Frieza with his barrage of Grand Death Beams.
  • Paragus - Frieza shot him in the heart with a Death Beam to trigger Broly's Super Saiyan transformation.

  • An error in the Funimation dub had Frieza (in his first form) saying he was 530,000 times stronger than Nail, who had a power level of 42,000. This meant that Frieza's power level was 22,260,000,000. In the original Japanese dub, Frieza states he has a power level of 530,000 and he later states this in the Funimation dub of Dragon Ball Z Kai as well.
  • Frieza's third form somewhat resembles a Xenomorph from the Alien film series, particularly in skull structure and his dorsal spines (in addition, Cooler's final form vaguely resembles a Predator).
  • The fight between Goku and Frieza was the longest in the Dragon Ball Z anime, at 19 episodes. It is also considered to be the longest recorded fight in an anime, clocking in at roughly 3.5 hours of screentime.
  • Frieza has his tail cut off four times. The first time is when he was in his second form, when Krillin chops it off with a Destructo Disc, though it seems to regenerate when he enters his final form. The second is when he is hit by Goku's Spirit Bomb, as part of it is unable to withstand the blast and thus comes off. The third is when he is cut in half by his own attack, the energy disks slice off his body in half, along with one arm and his tail. The fourth is from slamming Jiren into the arena with his Nova Strike.
Freezer brand

  • In Dragon Ball SD, Roshi has a Freezer brand fridge.
  • Frieza is the second villain to be defeated by Goku and return as a cyborg. The first is Mercenary Tao. Interestingly, both characters suffered grave injuries resulting in receiving cybernetics because of dirty attacks towards Goku (i.e. begging for mercy, and then attacking Goku when his guard was let down), and both were given cybernetics by a relative of theirs. They were also both defeated very quickly after reappearing by someone other than Goku. But unlike Tao, Frieza is no longer a cyborg.
  • Frieza had inspired many other villains in the Shonen genre, notably Orochimaru from the Naruto series. During the first Naruto series animation run, Masashi Kishimoto remarked that he hoped Orochimaru would get a voice actor just like Frieza's.[citation needed]
  • Frieza is the second character to make Goku shake in fear, the first being Raditz, and the third being Hit.
  • Of all four of the main villains in Dragon Ball Z, Frieza has the largest on-screen body count: he murdered numerous Saiyans, Namekians, committed several atrocities with an innumerable casualty count, and has murdered many characters recognized as individuals on-camera.
  • Frieza is the second villain to yell "Damn you Goku!" as his last words, with the first being Dr. Wheelo. Coincidentally, both villains also ended up obliterated by a significantly powerful ki attack shortly afterward (Wheelo by a Spirit Bomb, and Frieza by the God Kamehameha), and both even made a reference to Hell immediately beforehand (in Wheelo's case, as an expletive when demanding to know what Goku was about to do, and in Frieza's case, telling Vegeta and everyone else to go there without him in reference to his attempt at destroying Earth before Goku intervened).
  • Of all the main Dragon Ball villains featured in media, Frieza is the most prominent "true" villain that appeared as a major character in more than one mainstream Dragon Ball media (anime or manga (that excluded related merchandising)), this includes appearances in the Dragon Ball Super anime, as the main antagonist of its second saga, then later appearing as a member of Team Universe 7, for the Universe Survival Saga,
    • He can be considered the main antagonist of the Dragon Ball Franchise and Goku's arch-enemy due to being the most recurring villain of the series.
    • His appearance in Dragon Ball GT might not count, along with Cell, as they made very short appearances in Hell as minor villains and were outsmarted by Goku.
    • He is also the only major villain to appear in more than one film (TV/Theatrical), the most prominent and significant one being in Resurrection ‘F’.
    • Majin Buu (any incarnations) also does not count, as the Good Buu may have appeared in other series than DBZ, like Dragon Ball Super, he is merely a purely good entity fissioned from and is completely separate from the true, pure evil version killed in his only anime appearance, Kid Buu.
    • Additionally, Frieza is one of the most referenced villains in the series, as seen many times when the characters constantly use Frieza as a measuring stick for the power of other characters. Such instances are when describing Android 17 and 18 and Imperfect Cell, as well as during Goku's fight with Uub when the Saiyan states that he hadn't been so forced back in a battle since Frieza. Beerus also displayed visible shock when he heard of Frieza's defeat, indicating the profound impact he's had on the series.
  • Frieza's wish of becoming taller is almost identical to Commander Red's; it is also probable that he developed a Napoleonic complex, feeling inferior and less respected to most people due to his height, which is why he killed any soldier who ever commented on it. Lemo even warned Cheelai to watch her tongue when she mentions hearing that Frieza was short.
  • In the Greek dub of Dragon Ball Z (except for episodes 78-87), Dragon Ball GT, the movies and Bardock - The Father of Goku, Frieza is a woman. In Dragon Ball Super, Frieza is a man.
  • Frieza can be considered a foil to Goku (which is very fitting). Goku was born extremely weak and had to train to get stronger, is naturally peaceful and often shows enemies mercy, and even rejected his violent Saiyans ways of conquest. Frieza on the other hand was born extraordinarily powerful and never required much effort in training for extra strength, rarely shows mercy, and took over 70% of Universe 7.
  • Frieza's Ghost Warrior is the only one of the Ghost Warriors in the OVA to not have originated in a movie.
