"Vegeta, what does transformation mean?" Krillin asked in surprise.
Vegeta sneered. "It's simple. These guys can change their appearance at certain times. Their usual forms are meant to reduce the consumption of stamina and energy."
Frieza smiled. "Heh heh, you're only half right, Vegeta. The reason I don't transform is because my power is too immense—even I can't control it."
"What? Really? Can someone actually be that strong?" Krillin was stunned, and Gohan's expression turned extremely grim as well.

"His energy is so strong... It feels like it's increasing without end!"
Cold sweat appeared on Yamamoto Genryusai's forehead. The faint illusion that they
