Planet Yardrat

Biodata

History

Frieza traveled to Yardrat to learn its ki-control techniques and Instant Transmission. He threatened to destroy the planet unless Husu taught him, but departed without carrying out the threat 2.

Goku and Vegeta later spent months training on Yardrat. Their battle gouged a large section out of the planet; the inhabitants gathered materials to fill the damage, which Husu feared could otherwise have led to its destruction 24 31 34.

Frieza returned to question Husu about Vegeta’s Shift technique. He learned Shift himself, then spent a month studying the Nerve Book before leaving Yardrat again 30 31 32.

Techniques and Knowledge

• Ki control — Yardratians have a meticulous grasp of ki. Husu taught Frieza to suppress his detectable combat power to 5 2.
• Instant Transmission — A travel technique taught by Husu to Frieza. Goku later learned it on Yardrat and described it as teleportation toward a sensed energy source 2 30.
• Star Transformation — A power-increasing technique Husu described as legendary; he had not mastered it himself. Frieza learned it during his first visit 2.
• Shift — A rare variation of Instant Transmission that moves the user between positions within sight rather than across long distances. Vegeta developed it during his stay, and Frieza learned it after Husu explained the concept 31.
• Nerve Book — A Yardratian text containing an ancient master’s insights into spiritual power. Frieza used it to learn Time Skip and Lightning Flash 32.
