Power Progression

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
First form	10 190	Initially described as approximately 500,000 Battle Power, later specified as 530,000. Frieza deliberately compresses his body to reduce everyday energy consumption.
Second form	190	His first transformation greatly enlarges his body. Frieza states that his Battle Power can exceed 1,000,000 in this form.
Third form	202	Transforms while fighting Piccolo, developing back spikes and an elongated head and mouth. Luo Tian previously estimated this stage at at least 2,000,000 Battle Power 10.
Fourth form / true form	205 354	Whis confirms that half of Frieza's energy equals 60,000,000 Battle Power, matching the reported maximum of 120,000,000 190. His fourth form is later explicitly identified as his true form.
Golden Form	349 354	Demonstrated after training in a dimensional space arranged by Beerus and Whis. The form is unstable during his defeat by Piccolo; it is later compared with Goku's Super Saiyan Blue 470.
Black Frieza / Black-Gold Mode	443	Initially sustainable for only 10 seconds. Beerus assesses his test punch as above Level 40; Frieza estimates that stabilizing the form requires at least another year.
Black Frieza in tournament combat	467 489	Reveals that he trained for ten years in a Room of Spirit and Time. His level is explicitly stated as 40, above Beast Gohan's Level 38 and Goku's Ultra Instinct Sign II at Level 39.
Great Demon God empowerment	492 493	A trace of the Great Demon God's power allows him to survive Zeno's erasure and crush destruction energy released by Level 58 Bardock. No numerical level is supplied for this empowered state.

Appearance

• Tail and narrow, triangular eyes: His tail sways while he sits in his hover pod; his eyes narrow when threatening others 4 23.
• Second form: Considerably taller and larger than his first form, with a horn capable of piercing Krillin's chest 190.
• Third form: Long spikes protrude from his back, while his head and mouth become elongated 202.
• Golden Form: Surrounded by a golden glow that disperses when he returns to his fourth form 354.
• Black Frieza: His body becomes black and gold, accompanied by surging purple light 467.
• Underworld appearance: Exists as a soul before Whis supplies a replacement body; he subsequently appears with a halo 349 350.

Personality

Frieza combines smiling politeness with sudden brutality. He calls himself merciful while planning the destruction of the Saiyans and their planet, and kills subordinates for overhearing sensitive information or proposing actions he rejects. His claim that planet conquest is legitimate business rests on exterminating inhabitants and selling their worlds to displaced aliens 4 5 86.

His cruelty is often calculated rather than impulsive. He preserves Vegeta because he wants to investigate the prince's rapid growth, forbids Dodoria from taking revenge, and deliberately tests Vegeta's Destruction so that a later ambush cannot surprise him. During the Tournament of Power, he uses colorful attacks to attract Zeno's approval 23 190 484.

Frieza readily submits when confronted by overwhelming power. He kneels before Quitela, suppresses revenge against the Supreme Kai because of Beerus, and accepts Beerus's threats and conditions for tournament participation. Nevertheless, repeated defeats eventually drive him to train seriously rather than rely entirely on his natural talent 86 192 349 467.

His pride remains vulnerable to humiliation. Losing to Piccolo leaves him crying because he had considered Namekians insignificant. By contrast, once Black Frieza gives him a clear advantage, he can laugh at provocation and toy with opponents without losing his composure 354 486.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Destruction of Planet Vegeta

Frieza regards the Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan God legends with mockery, but refuses to tolerate even a slight threat to his rule. He also reveals that destroying the Saiyans is Beerus's order. While pursuing Vegeta and Luo Tian, he decides that Vegeta's unexplained growth makes him worth preserving 4 6 23.

He ultimately destroys Planet Vegeta with a Planet Destruction Bomb. Bardock attempts to stop him and is reported killed in the destruction. Frieza also lets the low-powered infant Kakarot's spaceship escape, a decision he recalls when meeting Goku years later 24 191.

Encounters with the Gods

Frieza represents Universe 7 in a God of Destruction selection tournament and eliminates a contestant from Quitela's universe. Quitela later identifies this as the reason for his grudge 192.

After Kuriza enters Galactic Patrol territory, the Supreme Kai confronts Frieza and claims to have killed his son. A single glare sends Frieza flying and damages his ship. Frieza subsequently restrains his revenge because the Supreme Kai is far stronger and appears connected to Beerus 78 86.

Campaign on Namek

Frieza orders a journey to Namek after discussing Dragon Ball wishes, specifically considering regenerative abilities like Majin Buu's. His campaign is also reported as a pursuit of immortality. On arrival, his forces collect Dragon Balls and terrorize Namekian settlements; Moori destroys their Scouters to obstruct the search 163 171 175 176.

When Vegeta challenges him, Frieza neutralizes Destruction, transforms, and critically wounds Krillin. Quitela interrupts the battle and humiliates him, but Frieza later returns to fight Piccolo and Goku. He reveals further transformations, joins Cooler in threatening the planet, and attempts to use a Planet Destruction Bomb before Goku counters it as a Super Saiyan God 190 192 199 202 205 209.

Earth Attack and Imprisonment

Following his defeat by Goku, Frieza appears on Earth and orders his troops to kill the inhabitants. The young Trunks confronts him as a Super Saiyan; later dialogue confirms that Trunks cut Frieza into pieces 217 250.

Frieza subsequently appears in Hell, where Frost becomes his unwilling companion. Their argument is interrupted by Beerus and Whis, who recruit Frieza for another tournament 273 349.

Golden Frieza's Defeat

Whis creates a new body for Frieza, and Beerus promises revival for good performance while threatening destruction for failure. After dimensional training, Frieza enters the competition in Golden Form 349 354.

Piccolo defeats and eliminates him. The loss devastates Frieza, although Goku and Piccolo acknowledge that a stabilized Golden Form would have made the battle much harder 354.

Black Frieza and the Tournament of Power

Frieza demonstrates Black Frieza to Beerus and earns a place on Universe 7's team. During the tournament, he kills Jass after revealing his long-standing knowledge of the Heeters' plans, then announces the ten years of training behind his new form 443 467.

He eliminates Vegeta with a disguised attack and uses flashy energy to court Zeno's attention. Black Frieza then overwhelms Jiren, Piccolo, Gohan, and Kale. Beast Gohan and Legendary Super Saiyan 3 Kale can strike him, but neither overturns his advantage 484 486 488 489.

Goku eventually forces their mutual elimination. When the Zenos erase Universes 6 and 7, Frieza remains present without Luo Tian's help. He reveals the Great Demon God's influence, attacks Calorie, and demonizes Bardock when Bardock intervenes 492 493.

Battles Across Timelines

As a First Timeline contestant, Frieza uses Black-Gold Mode against alternate Saiyans. He pierces Kakarot's heart despite Kakarot transforming into Super Saiyan 5, then fights an alternate Vegeta on roughly equal terms. The Second Timeline Vegeta's self-destruction wounds him but does not kill him 538 539 540.

Frieza subsequently breaks Trunks's Divine Sword, severely injures him, and kills the Second Timeline Goku. His treatment of Trunks provokes another Vegeta's transformation. That Vegeta then overwhelms Frieza and mutilates his limbs; Gohan later intervenes to save him following Vegeta's attack 541 542 543.
