Background / History

Cooler was Frieza's older brother and the leader of the Cooler Force. Unlike Frieza, who conquered and sold planets, Cooler was driven by destruction for its own sake; he destroyed countless worlds across the North Galaxy simply because he wanted to watch them perish. His prolonged campaign became severe enough that other Kaiō complained to North Kai about him. 96

He commanded an elite unit known as the Cooler Armored Squad, originally composed of Sauza, Neiz, and Dore. Each member had a battle power exceeding 150,000, but all three were defeated when Talot, Selari, and Raditz confronted Cooler on an Aqua Blue Planet. 96 97

Personality

Cooler was calm, calculating, and cruel. He took pleasure in planetary destruction and in psychologically tormenting enemies rather than killing them immediately. During his first fight with Talot, he deliberately tried to crush Talot's will by displaying the overwhelming gap created by his final form. 96 98

Unlike Frieza, Cooler could analyze opponents and learn from battle. After Talot escaped the destruction of the Aqua Blue Planet, Cooler repeatedly reviewed footage of their clash to understand Instant Transmission. His inability to decipher the technique drove him to search the North Galaxy for its origin. 99 119

He was also ambitious within his own family. He considered secretly using Instant Transmission to eliminate Frieza and take Frieza's place as the universe's agent of destruction. 119

Appearance

Cooler had the physical traits associated with Frieza's race, including a tail, red eyes, and a powerful armored body. His final transformation made his body bulkier and greatly intensified his oppressive aura. 96 98

Story Role / Major Arcs

First battle with Talot

Cooler arrived at an Aqua Blue Planet intending to destroy its inhabitants. Talot, Selari, and Raditz intercepted him, with Talot defeating Dore while Selari and Raditz overcame the other Armored Squad members. 96 97

Cooler attempted to recruit Talot by offering him leadership of the Saiyans and promising to eventually kill Frieza. Talot refused, declaring that he would send both brothers to Hell instead. 97

Talot pushed Cooler with Great Ape Power and Kaio-ken, reaching 180 million battle power. Cooler eventually revealed his 470-million final form and dominated the fight. Under the pressure of Cooler's attacks, Talot partially awakened Super Saiyan power, then escaped Cooler's Supernova with Instant Transmission. 97 98 99

Hunt for Instant Transmission

After the battle, Cooler reviewed recorded footage and recognized Talot as a Super Saiyan. He became obsessed with Talot's teleportation technique and remained in the North Galaxy searching for its source. 99 119

When a subordinate reported that Yardratians could use Instant Transmission, Cooler targeted Planet Yardrat. He promoted Lavisa to rebuild the Armored Squad and diverted his forces toward the planet. 119

Invasion of Planet Yardrat and death

Cooler invaded Yardrat in pursuit of Instant Transmission, but Talot arrived beforehand to defend the Yardratians. Their second battle began with Cooler matching Super Saiyan Talot without transforming, using a base battle power exceeding 250 million. 120

Cooler entered his final form after Talot pressured him, but Talot countered with Great Ape Power, Instant Transmission, Invisibility, and Yardratian Natural Power. Talot ultimately trapped Cooler in a Royal Flush Energy Ball, which annihilated him down to his last cell. 121

Cooler's death alarmed both Frieza and King Cold. Frieza learned that a Super Saiyan had killed his brother and began training in response. 122

Rebellion in Hell

Cooler later caused an uprising in Hell, which Talot suppressed alongside Raditz and Selari. 123

Trivia

• Cooler regarded Talot's Instant Transmission as more valuable than simple escape, believing it could enable him to assassinate Frieza without being discovered. 99 119
• He believed Talot, Selari, and Raditz had died in the Aqua Blue Planet's destruction, then realized they had survived after hearing of powerful Saiyans killing Turles. 119
• His final realization before death was that his refusal to train and reliance on natural power had made him the “hopeless fool.” 121
