Shonen Jump Says Cooler Owns 265 Planets?

Where on Shonen Jump does it say that?

It doesnt. it says it in a daishenzu (Or however you spell it) --Team Midgars Silver Sinspawn 06:37, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

doing the math

and adding up the number of plants frieza owns and the number cooler owns isn't really trivia, it's common logic. speculation that provides no real information is not trivia (the bit about 'maybe' being king cold's planet) isn't trivia. and the part about the real-world WTO contains bias. so i carefully considered what i removed from trivia. there is a lot of 'bad trivia' like this on the site and i am trying to clean it up, since not any statement should be considered trivia. i'd talk to you about this on your talk page PrinceZarbon but your page will not let me leave a message. Frieza'sScouter 02:03, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

Some of that trivia was initially added by my administrator comrades. It's actually more relevant to the article. If you feel the need to remove certain elements, please bring them up before doing so. More than often, you would find that removing huge segments of trivia (even though they may not be to your liking) are actually worthwhile bits of information. - User:PrinceZarbon/sig 03:30, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

Just because an admin adds a piece of trivia does not make it worthwhile. as you can see, i cited why i removed those pieces. I have an interest in making this wiki better, and anyone who puts more of a priority on that than patting admins on the back should be able to clean things up. Frieza'sScouter 12:24, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

I'm not liking this harsh tone I'm getting here. Not to be controlling, but we're not "patting" each others backs. It's just a matter of courtesy because what you may not consider trivia, may actually be trivia. Please just remember that what you edit may be reverted because there are members who don't agree with your mentality dear comrade. - User:PrinceZarbon/sig 15:13, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

Members of WTO escaped

OK, I know some members of the World Trade Organization made their small appearance on the Super 17 Saga of GT years later when Hell opened up with Earth. SilverPlaqueVII;talk contrib 21:14, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

Is this a fan term

WTO, is it used ANYWHERE? The people on the Daizenshuu EX are mocking you guys. make sure EVERYTHING is factual. AND NO FANMADE TERMS  Silver Ink (Silver Sinspawn)  ..  ..

The inclusion of Turles?

It's still confusing to me as to why Turles is included here. Besides the fact that he's a Saiyan by descent and wears the common military garb attributed to the Saiyan forces and Frieza's forces, we don't necessarily have any confirmation of Turles being associated with Frieza's military in any way or form. I don't remember Turles associating himself with the Frieza army or even mentioning any form of prior allegiance to Frieza. If anything, he barely even notates knowing the likes of Vegeta and Nappa. I'd reconsider placing Turles in the "Known Members" section unless there's actual confirmation of his placement in this organization, as currently there's no definitive proof of his being aligned, organized, or in association with Frieza or the World/Planet Trade Organization. - User:PrinceZarbon/sig 20:57, May 23, 2011 (UTC)

I agree. Since when is he a known member? 68.48.206.215 21:41, May 23, 2011 (UTC)!

Since Toobi and Kyabira have been shown, should they be added to members of the organization?

Spelling Error

Why is this spelled "Planet Trade Organization"? This is clearly spelled wrong on this whole page, as it should be "Organisation". Who ever wrote this was lacking grammar spelling? This should be fixed immediately as spelling errors are not accepted. Ripto22475 23:36, September 21, 2011 (UTC)

Lol, I know you don't realize it, but using the terms "wrong, should be, lacking grammar spelling, error" when referring to regional differences is super prejudice. See the Manual of Style for details on spelling/grammar preferences. The short version is that American English is preferred. -- 10X Ka^.me_.ha^.me_.ha ^.._.^.. _{talk .}^..._{. contrib}. 02:24, September 22, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, well I do not mean to be prejudice, don't get me wrong. I didn't really know there were varients of English to this extent. I though it simply meant the way it was pronounced, not the spelling. So according to the manual of style, it accepts only American English? Seems unsual as many people are from around the world on this site. Ripto22475 00:17, September 23, 2011 (UTC)

It's not unusual, it would be unusual if some other English variant were used. There are more users of the English DB Wiki who come from regions where American English is the preferred variant than any other individual variant. This was confirmed years ago by consensus, and more recently using simple IP analysis software. -- 10X Ka^.me_.ha^.me_.ha ^.._.^.. _{talk .}^..._{. contrib}. 00:26, September 23, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, well I understand it now. I guess I cannot stand up against the majority of the people lol. Sorry for making a false assumption on my part. Ripto22475 00:30, September 23, 2011 (UTC)

More important than the language of this site's viewers is the fact that this site is about the Dragon Ball franchise, which was created in Japan. In countries other than Australia and the UK (and probably some other, minor countries) the "-ize" ending is preferred over the "-ise" ending. If you consult your British dictionaries, they'd actually agree on this subject. The "-ise" is something that has become acceptable through repeated misuse, sort of like "besides" instead of "beside", and "anyways" instead of "anyway". SS4Gogetenks (talk) 22:08, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

Proper nouns

Wouldn't it be "Planet Trade Organization," seeing as it's the name of a company/team/whatever you wanna call it? — N ^{(t • c)}

Unfortunately, the organization is never actually named, so this wouldn't be a proper noun. It's like if we referred to McDonald's as an "Irish restaurant with burgers." -- 10X.Ka^.me_.ha^.me_.ha^.._.^..talk_.^..._.contrib. 02:03, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

I see; I could've swore it was name. Sorry, my mistake. Thank you for informing me. — N ^{(t • c)}

It's one of the common fan names, but it's just a straightforward derivation resulting from the observation that they are an organization whose trade is planets. We strongly dislike having to resort to fan names, but we do have to refer to it as something. Other common fan names for this group are "world trade organization" and "world trade federation." -- 10X.Ka^.me_.ha^.me_.ha^.._.^..talk_.^..._.contrib. 03:13, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

Don't worry, Ten. I completely understand the not wanting to use fan name; but, whar can you do? — N ^{(t • c)}

Episode of Bardock Inclusion

I know of the whole 'Canon Level' thing, and that ia exactly why I'm bringing this up. Acording to Episode of Bardock the Planet Trade Organisation started with Chilled's group of pirates. Should that information really be posted on the page? Is the information of a spin-off manga relevant enough to state that?TomNamikaze 19:45, February 24, 2012 (UTC)

It is the only official source for the origin of the organization. What other than spin-off would have revealed the origin of the organization?? The manga is based on Goku's story. Generally, info about support characters or vilains are revealed in spin-off if not included in the main media. JeangabinTalkContrib 20:30, February 24, 2012 (UTC)

I agree. The stance in the Manual of Style is to list all available, official information, and only exclude (or state separately) that which is contradicted by a higher level of canon. -- 10X.Ka^.me_.ha^.me_.ha^.._.^..talk_.^..._.contrib. 21:38, February 24, 2012 (UTC)

Wouldn't Frieza have had control over at least 80 planets since it showed him conquering another planet sometime after he destroyed the Saiyan homeworld? 71.185.227.7 23:27, June 12, 2013 (UTC)

Planet Trade Organization's net worth

It is stated that Frieza owns 79 planets and that Cooler owns 256 planets. To calculate the lower bound of PTO's yearly profits, I'm assuming that they tax their planets at a slightly lower rate than the United States government taxes its citizens, and assuming that Earth in 2012 would be a slighty above-average planet of those 335, and finally, giving King Cold no planets. The expected revenue for PTO is about 2 quadrillion dollars a year.

For the higher bound, I'm assuming the tax rate is slightly higher than the US government's (which is probable), and assuming Earth in 2012 would be somewhat below-average (also probable), and giving King Cold 25 planets (probable as well), the expected revenue for PTO is about 6 quadrillion dollars a year.

I think a 5 quadrillion number would be fair. PTO has operated for at least 214 years (probably much longer than that), and while it's safe to say that they collected more planets as they went along, their profits have probably been in the quadrillions for quite some time. At the height of their operations, PTO was probably worth between 500 quadrillion and 1 quintillion dollars, easily the richest group in the Dragon Ball frachise. SS4Gogetenks (talk) 22:23, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

I don't think they're making any yearly revenue from most of these planets. They tend to wipe out all life, and I have never heard of them mining for resources or anything. -- 10X.Ka^.me_.ha^.me_.ha^.._.^..talk_.^..._.contrib. 22:53, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

They have to be making SOME sort of revenue. Even if its not monetary, they still have ridiculously large spaceships, and doctors, and soldiers, etc. Those all count as assets, even the people because they're essentially slaves. I do think they are "taxing" the planets they own though...why else would they "own" them instead of wiping them out? SS4Gogetenks (talk) 23:00, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

I should also add that even if PTO is not taxing its planets, they are still worth several quadrillions because of their real estate holdings. SS4Gogetenks (talk) 23:02, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

They don't charge inhabitants for the property. Real Estate isn't the game they're playing. They execute the inhabitants in order to avoid future complications or uprisings. Also, they pretty much conquer the planets rather than use them for perpetual revenue. The only revenue gained/earned comes from the complete sale of a planet as a whole. Since they have over 300 under their command, it gives them more power and more control for future acquisition. See, the more soldiers they have working in the regime, the more easily they can conquer the planets. - User:PrinceZarbon/sig 00:26, July 12, 2013 (UTC)

I agree that my numbers are off by quite a bit (probably around 1000x off) because I didn't take into account the fact that PTO isn't out for profit, but even nonprofit organizations have a net worth based on their assets. So, even if PTO never plans to sell any of their property, that property still has value which contributes to their net worth. They do own the land on the planets they have conquered and its inhabitants would not put up a serious fight to stop the sale of land, so the value of that land should definitely be counted in PTO's assets. SS4Gogetenks (talk) 13:15, July 13, 2013 (UTC)

...Why are we discussing this? Is there a disputed edit on the article or something? -- 10X.Ka^.me_.ha^.me_.ha^.._.^..talk_.^..._.contrib. 20:30, July 13, 2013 (UTC)

Rename

The name "Planet Trade Organisation" was conjecture based off of Krillin mentioning the "planet trade", and we created a name from that since there was no other official name. However in Resurrection F Frieza refers to this group as the "Galactic Frieza Army", since this is the group's actual name we should rename it, and have Planet Trade Organisation as a redirect.Neffyarious (talk) 13:12, May 29, 2015 (UTC)

Sure, I guess, but you'll have to fix all the 216813 page redirects. Sandubadear 16:48, May 29, 2015 (UTC)

Neffyarious, good find. Sandubadear, do we know anyone with a bot? This should be fairly simple for one. -- 10X.Ka^.me_.ha^.me_.ha^.._.^..talk_.^..._.contrib. 22:56, May 29, 2015 (UTC)

Anemicne has the Anemobot. Ask him. Sandubadear 23:14, May 29, 2015 (UTC)

Alright. I'll get it going. It's about time I get to blank the Recent Wiki activity page again. — A ^{(t • c)} 01:27, May 30, 2015 (UTC)

I'm so glad this finally gets the proper name of the Japanese version. Planet Trade Organisation? Sounds like real estate marketing on planet-wide scale. Not fitting for the Emperor of the Universe. Now if only the rest of the wiki would adhere to the original source material properly... DraculaCronqvist (talk) 08:41, May 30, 2015 (UTC)

I see the renaming of this article is going to alter numerous articles in their grammar setup, unless they are already fine. In some articles, we have previously referred to it as the PTO as opposed to the full title, but if the bot catches all these and shifts 'em to GFA, then I guess it's fine. Either way, I have no preference of which title is used, I simply feel we need to make sure it is correctly adjusted on all the articles. - User:PrinceZarbon/sig 16:56, May 30, 2015 (UTC)

Anemicne, can you switch PTO to GFA across the wiki? -- 10X.Ka^.me_.ha^.me_.ha^.._.^..talk_.^..._.contrib. 01:02, May 31, 2015 (UTC)

I preferred the Planet Trade Organization better. I typically take "movie" canon, as a canon of their own, not usually as a canon to tie down with the DBZ series. However, since all series are being taken into account, I suppose the new name will be alright (Guess it'll have to be.) Ripto (talk) 20:45, June 1, 2015 (UTC)

But Planet Trade Organization is not even an official name, while Galactic Army is. Sandubadear 20:53, June 1, 2015 (UTC)

That is very true. We just did not have the "official" name until years later. I just personally take movie canon as something different. I do not disagree with the name at all. Was the name of the organization ever stated in the manga? Ripto (talk) 21:00, June 1, 2015 (UTC)

Only in the Resurrection F manga. Sandubadear 21:02, June 1, 2015 (UTC)

Ahh though so. In the DBZ manga, was Krillin's statement of the "Planet Trade" present in there too? Or was that anime only? Ripto (talk) 21:07, June 1, 2015 (UTC)

I think it was only in the FUNimation dub of DBZ. Sandubadear 21:19, June 1, 2015 (UTC)

Fair enough. Thanks :) Ripto (talk) 21:21, June 1, 2015 (UTC)

Empire-Corporation?

I'm afraid I'm not sure how this defines the GFA. Is it possible that someone was looking for megacorporation or something?--Observer Supreme 17:25, August 4, 2015 (UTC)

Rename 2.0

Since we are going by the "DUB TERMS", this page needs a name change to "Frieza Force" and there are like a lot (over 1000 pages i guess) of pages with Galactic Frieza Army on there so there needs to be a bot to change it all. Meshack (talk) 20:10, September 23, 2015 (UTC)

Anemicne has a good bot for doing just. If we decide that's what we want to do. -- 10X.Ka^.me_.ha^.me_.ha^.._.^..talk_.^..._.contrib. 04:37, September 24, 2015 (UTC)

We'll need someone with a bot to change every instance of Galactic Frieza Army to Frieza Force.Neffyarious (talk) 03:34, September 26, 2015 (UTC)

Interestingly enough the Frieza Force recruitment video released by FUNimation refers to Frieza's empire as the Frieza Force, the Galactic Frieza Army, and the Planet Trade Organization.Neffyarious (talk) 05:49, September 26, 2015 (UTC)

I didn't see a reference Meshack (talk) 14:31, September 26, 2015 (UTC)

The bits where it says "in association with Red Ribbon Army and Ginyu Special Corps", they small writing at the bottom has those titles.--Neffyarious (talk) 14:59, September 26, 2015 (UTC)

What's interesting is that over a decade ago, sometime in 2004, I came up with the name Frieza Force for a forum I started and for some odd reason, now it's considered the primary title for the organization? Here's the link to my forum... it's been on my userpage forever now and it hasn't really been active since 2010: Frieza Force - User:PrinceZarbon/sig 17:53, October 11, 2015 (UTC)

That's crazy Meshack (talk) 18:11, October 11, 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, I know. It's been this way for a while now. Also, they must be coming to my forum and this wikia as a central resource because they made Zarbon a prince officially due to the level entitled "Prince of another Planet" in Dragon Ball Z: Tenkaichi Tag Team but only after I created my username as such. We're looking at stuff I've done from 1999 to 2015 and only now do they add both inferences. It's obvious that people working on the new Resurrection F project have been coming to our wiki and specifically checking out my userpage. I already knew they were doing this since they pumped out the Freeza's Force figurine lineup back in 2010, which is when my forum became highly inactive. Regardless, I feel I've strongly contributed to the DB canon specifically for the Frieza related merch on more than one occasion now. - User:PrinceZarbon/sig 22:44, October 11, 2015 (UTC)

This isn't the only time we've seen the official canon built around things on this wiki. Another example is the time they used our new material template as the script for a commercial: Template:New Content They probably see how popular the site is and how many readers we have and view the blogs and forums as insight into the fans' thoughts. -- 10X.Ka^.me_.ha^.me_.ha^.._.^..talk_.^..._.contrib. 03:43, October 12, 2015 (UTC)

Picture of Frezia Force

I am just wondering why Salza is on the Frezia force image. I know this site counts him as part of it, when it seems more like the Frezia force was, well Frezias underlings while Cooler had his own, which were all part of the GTF but thats an entire different question.Jspencer93 (talk) 01:25, October 27, 2015 (UTC)

Rename 3.0

Looking at the recruitment video again, it seems to imply that "Frieza Force" refers to Frieza's Elite, while "Galactic Frieza Army" refers to the organization as a whole. So I'd say that the pages should be renamed as such. This will not be troublesome, as we have not changed every instance of "Galactic Frieza Army" to "Frieza Force".--Neffyarious (talk) 10:47, October 27, 2015 (UTC)

Let's discuss this thoroughly before making any changes, just because we have changed it recently. Can you provide a link to the video? -- 10X.Ka^.me_.ha^.me_.ha^.._.^..talk_.^..._.contrib. 23:52, October 28, 2015 (UTC)

This is the recruitment video for the Frieza Force Resurrection F Movie promo: Frieza Force I see a small part where it says alignment with the Ginyu Special Corps and The Red Ribbon Army, but I don't see Galactic Frieza Army noted anywhere. I only see Galactic Army Bootcamp in the end and that's just as a joining reference. I think the primary title is still Frieza Force. What do you think 10X? - User:PrinceZarbon/sig 17:02, October 30, 2015 (UTC)

Stated in bottom section

It's called the Galactic Frieza Army underneath the aligned with Red Ribbon bit, the way the "Galactic Frieza Army" name is used separate from "Frieza Force" seems to show that the two are different groups. Frieza Force seems to refer to Frieza's Elite. So, since both the English dub and original Japanese version refers to the full army as "Galactic Frieza Army" I think that we should use it to refer to this page, and have Frieza Force refer to Frieza's Elite.--Neffyarious (talk) 06:07, October 31, 2015 (UTC)

My interpretation is that "Frieza Force" is just the catchy name they're using to recruit humans to capture Saiyans in this (hilarious) video. It doesn't seem like a name for the whole army since that's in the fine print, and I would hardy call brainwashed human children a group of elites. The fine print states that the name of the army is "Galactic Frieza Army" otherwise known as "Planet Trade Organization". -- 10X.Ka^.me_.ha^.me_.ha^.._.^..talk_.^..._.contrib. 16:17, October 31, 2015 (UTC)

So, shall we rename since Galactic Frieza Army seems to be the full army's name.--Neffyarious (talk) 13:16, November 2, 2015 (UTC)

Either that, or Planet Trade Organization. Is either one used elsewhere? -- 10X.Ka^.me_.ha^.me_.ha^.._.^..talk_.^..._.contrib. 04:32, November 3, 2015 (UTC)

"Galactic Frieza Army" is used in the Japanese version (both movie and manga), and also by FUNimation in some cases (like the boot camp promotion and the recruitment video). "Planet Trade Organisation" is only used in the recruitment video, and is labeled as a secondary name (hence the AKA).--Neffyarious (talk) 07:00, November 3, 2015 (UTC)

Don't we go by the FUNimation dub? If you watch Resurrection F, Frieza and Jaco calls Frieza's army the Frieza Force. Meshack (talk) 23:49, December 1, 2015 (UTC)

Either way, let's wait at least two weeks for other people to suggest things. We are changing this page's name too often. Let's take our time and get it right. -- 10X.Ka^.me_.ha^.me_.ha^.._.^..talk_.^..._.contrib. 01:49, December 4, 2015 (UTC)

I say we put it back to Frieza Force since in Resurrection F Frieza calls it Frieza Force.  Goku20  Talk  ULTRA DBZ  ULTRA POKEMON  06:15,12/4/2015 

It was the correct name until someone changed it. Frieza and Jaco calls it the Frieza Force

While true that it is referred to as the "Frieza Force", this seems to be more a nickname used by characters rather than the official name (which is why "Galactic Frieza Army" is used in the fine print in the promotional video). Both names are used by FUNimation, and the original Japanese version uses the name "Galactic Frieza Army". So, the name seems to be the army's official name in-universe (with Frieza Force as an in-universe nickname), and the name is more widely used, as it is referred to as such in both the original Japanese version and English dub.--Neffyarious (talk) 04:58, December 5, 2015 (UTC)

Where has FUNimation used Galactic Frieza Army? They've never used that term to my knowledge. The video that keeps being brought up is just a promo video. Several characters have said Frieza Force like Frieza, Sorbet, and Jaco. Meshack (talk) 05:20, December 5, 2015 (UTC)

Just because the name hasn't been said by a character within the series, doesn't mean it doesn't exist at all. The promo video is hard to go against when it clearly does list "Galactic Frieza Army". The question now is, are we willing to accept a name from a promotional video? Or do we need a character to pronounce it, write it down, and spell it to classify it the official name? I would have to agree that the Frieza Force is just a catchy/short name rather than using the official one every-time it's mentioned. Only real life example I have on hand to compare is the term "red coats" used during the revolutionary war. Just because red coats is easier to use and easy to remember, it doesn't mean that's the official name they go by. Ripto (Talk) 15:39, December 7, 2015 (UTC)

someone needs to ask FUNimation or a representative for an answer Meshack (talk) 05:19, December 8, 2015 (UTC)

Frieza's army was named Frieza Force in the dub. In the video, Galactic Frieza Army was ar the bottom of the video along wirh Planet Trade Organization so Galactic Frieza Army should be in the introduction paragraph but not the main page. Multiple characters in Resurrection F say Frieza Force rather than the other names. SSGKakarotto (talk) 11:30, May 3, 2016 (UTC)

Chilled & Cooler

Can you really add Chilled and Cooler to Frieza's empire? Didn't Cooler compete with Frieza? Meshack (talk) 04:08, December 9, 2015 (UTC)

It says under Leadership and Ranking, "Cooler - gained the position upon Frieza's death in Age 764, was killed soon after somewhere around Age 764 to Age 767.". I don't think it was two different organizations competing against each other. At least it hasn't been suggested clearly it has. Just that Cooler owns more planets than Frieza did. King Cold is the secret leader and it can be safe to say he favoured Frieza (hence it being named after him). Ripto (Talk) 22:26, December 23, 2015 (UTC)

^ Good answer. -- 10X.Ka^.me_.ha^.me_.ha^.._.^..talk_.^..._.contrib. 19:51, December 24, 2015 (UTC)

Planet trade as alternate name

I added back the Planet Trade Organization as a mention in the first paragraph since that how it was referred to for a large while, and is still reputable as an alternate name. Cutting it out suggests it's not a valid title anymore and while it's not the official name, it's still a recognizable label that was mentioned in the series. --Riptoze 08:03, January 27, 2016 (UTC)

Krillin never says planet trade organization. He's says it's like a "planet trade". no where he says organization. I just watched the episode Meshack (talk) 20:32, January 27, 2016 (UTC)

Yes, that is correct Krillin never said organization as a full title, but as you did say, Planet Trade was a name used to refer to it by him. Organization signifies that it is a association of people with a purpose, which "Planet Trade" alone didn't cover hence why it was called that for so long. Of course it's not the official name, but it still is a recognized name that was used for years. No where on the page is "Planet Trade" mentioned anymore. It can be confusing for some and others when the two names are against each other. Other sources outside of DB Wiki still use Planet Trade Organization (and while I'm not justifying they are correct, it still shows others recognize the organization by that name), which where confusion can unfold considering it's not even noted Planet Trade was a term used by Krillin. All that's really needed is a mention of the previous name somewhere on the article (as it's still a valid title used within the series) and I'm a bit confused why you insist on removing it completely without any points other than "Krillin didn't say organization". --Riptoze 03:39, January 28, 2016 (UTC)

People take that phrase out of context. He says that they're part of some sort planet trade. That doesn't mean there's an organization. It has been the name for years but fans made it up. It has always been Frieza Army. It's the same as the Third Stellar Region army page. There was never sad to be an army. People assumed Meshack (talk) 04:41, January 28, 2016 (UTC)

I'm not sure it's really taken out of context. Krillin did say "part of" the Planet Trade. Which does suggest a group of some kind. Ignoring the organization part (which would be unusual to leave out as it is an organization) why should Planet Trade be removed? It's a fact it's not the official name given, but that doesn't take away it was a title to refer to it for so long. To back that up even further, it came from within the series said by a character themselves. I don't see any reason to completely remove the name as if it never existed only because the official name came out. Take a look on the Super Saiyan articles. Alternate names for those are listed as "SS1" / "SSJ". When no where in the series did anyone go and say "Oh Goku is transforming into a SS1". Yet it's still listed because it's it's a recognizable name among fans. --Riptoze 05:20, January 28, 2016 (UTC)

Ripto22475 is right that it was the only name fans had for the group for about 25 years. I think prominent usage for that long is reason enough to keep it around... but not necessarily in the first sentence of the article. Could we place it as an alternate name in the infobox and make everyone happy? -- 10X.Ka^.me_.ha^.me_.ha^.._.^..talk_.^..._.contrib. 05:48, January 28, 2016 (UTC)

A mention in the infobox would be terrific. I just didn't want it completely removed. Anywhere on the article is fine but the infobox would be great if you guys agree to it too. --Riptoze 05:54, January 28, 2016 (UTC)

i guess but it's not an actual name and it was never named in the series. We are trying to give facts, right? But having it as an alternate name won't hurt Meshack (talk) 20:36, January 28, 2016 (UTC)

The FACT is that fans only had that name to go off of for 25 years, and thus adding it as an alternate name (along with maintaining the redirect) will save a lot of grief for fans confusing by the abrupt, recent name change. The constant sarcasm is unnecessary. -- 10X.Ka^.me_.ha^.me_.ha^.._.^..talk_.^..._.contrib. 15:48, January 30, 2016 (UTC)

Galactic

Where does the galactic part come from? I've only heard Frieza Army Meshack (talk) 03:26, February 29, 2016 (UTC)

Where did the Galactic part come from? Again, in the Japanese version, I've only seen/heard of Freeza's Army not Galactic Freeza Army Meshack (talk) 03:59, March 14, 2016 (UTC)

if no one responds, i'm changing the name to frieza's army Meshack (talk) 20:36, March 17, 2016 (UTC)

Someone shared a picutre with the name Galactic under Talk:Galactic_Frieza_Army#Rename_3.0. --Riptoze 02:00, March 18, 2016 (UTC)

It's also the full name used in the RF manga (where Frieza Army is used as a shortened version), and is used in some other promotional material for RF.--Neffyarious (talk) 02:26, March 18, 2016 (UTC)

Frieza Force

Why do we use Galactic Frieza Army over Frieza Force? Frieza's army isn't given a name until Resurrection F and Frieza says "Frieza Force". SSGKakarotto (talk) 12:12, May 2, 2016 (UTC)

Read the earlier threads on a talk page before posting a new thread. This topic has been discussed thoroughly. Feel free to add something new if you have an original idea about this topic, but something so open-ended is redundant. -- 10X.Ka^.me_.ha^.me_.ha^.._.^..talk_.^..._.contrib. 00:54, May 3, 2016 (UTC)

Split this Article Into Planet Trade Organization and Frieza Force

Based on some observations I've made in both Resurrection: F and Xenoverse 2 I think we should treat these two groups as separate articles. Obviously Planet Trade Organization is the organization overseen by King Cold and co-managed by his sons Frieza and Cooler, but the Frieza Force is very clearly a private army within that organization lead by Frieza himself with Dodoria and Zarbon serving as high ranking officers within the unit, and the Ginyu Force serving as an elite branch of the Frieza Force. Now I will concede that this information may only be based on the English version of the Dragon Ball franchise while the Japanese version refers to both groups interchangeably, if so feel free to correct me. Aside from that, I think this should be given some consideration. –Nahald (talk) 23:51, January 3, 2017 (UTC)

Planet Trade Organization name?

I don't even think we should include "Planet Trade Organization" as one of the alternate names. Not a single time was the Frieza Force ever referred to as that in any official media. It was probably a headcanon nickname that someone made up which other people had perceived as true.Legorulez49 (talk) 08:16, February 5, 2020 (UTC)
