Background / History

Frieza ruled the Saiyans through fear while regarding their legends of Super Saiyans and Super Saiyan Gods as unacceptable risks. Convinced that powerful Saiyans would eventually rebel, he arranged for their return to Planet Vegeta and planned to destroy the planet once they had gathered there. He spared the departing young Vegeta temporarily only because killing the prince too soon could prevent other Saiyans from returning. 3

He monitored Vegeta's growth and dismissed Lu Fan after Lu Fan's Scouter reading fell to 200. When Lu Fan killed Cui on Gourmet Planet, Frieza ordered his men to keep Vegeta under surveillance rather than confront the pair directly. 23

Frieza had Gourmet Planet created as a source of food for Beerus. When Beerus later visited to seek a powerful mortal for a God of Destruction position in a new universe, Frieza deferentially nominated his brother Cooler. 23 33

Appearance

Frieza's appearance changes significantly with each transformation, although he consistently possesses a long, prehensile tail.

• His first form is shown wearing armor or a protective suit. 122
• His second form becomes tall and muscular, with prominent horns. 122
• His third form has a more monstrous appearance with jagged spikes emerging from his back. 124
• His final form is smaller and more compact than his prior transformations. 126
• His tail can be severed, but it regrows when he enters his final form. 123 159

Personality

Frieza is paranoid, ruthless, and intensely prideful. He considers Saiyans dangerous even when their legendary potential is uncertain, preferring genocide over allowing a possible rebellion to develop. He casually treats subordinates as expendable, though he preserves useful ones such as Dodoria despite their repeated failures. 3 32

He habitually demeans opponents as inferior beings and enjoys extending their suffering. He toys with Vegeta, kills Dende to eliminate the group's healing advantage, and murders Krillin to further torment Son Goku. 126 127 133

His confidence is easily wounded when others surpass or ignore him. Defeats by Dyspo, Vegeta, and Toppo leave him furious and humiliated, while Lu Fan's indifference provokes him more than direct opposition. 149 160 161 164

Abilities & Skills

Transformations and Power Control

Frieza possesses multiple forms that regulate his immense energy output.

• His first three forms suppress energy consumption, while his final form is his true form. 159
• He can raise his final form to 100% power, reaching a combat power of 120,000,000. 120 134
• His transformations allow him to rapidly escalate against stronger opponents, though they fail against Super Saiyan Son Goku and Super Saiyan Vegeta. 133 159 160
• Lu Fan states that Frieza could potentially attain an even higher transformation through serious training, but Frieza never demonstrates it before his death. 174

Energy Manipulation

Frieza uses highly destructive ki attacks with precision and cruelty.

• He fires concentrated finger beams capable of killing Dende and piercing through Quincy's heart. 126 148
• He creates Death Balls powerful enough to threaten the destruction of Namek. 134 173
• A fingertip energy attack slices Namek's land apart, demonstrating planetary-scale destructive capability. 130
• He can generate invisible energy strikes that blast deep craters into the ground. 131
• His attacks are ineffective against Lu Fan's Destruction Energy, which instantly shatters one of Frieza's crimson blasts. 161

Tail Combat and Physical Fighting

Frieza combines swift hand-to-hand attacks with his tail.

• He uses his tail to restrain and choke Son Goku. 129
• He attacks with his horns in second form, including the strike that impales Krillin. 122
• His tail is vulnerable to cutting attacks; Krillin severs it with a Destructo Disc, and Vegeta later tears it off. 123 158
• He can regenerate the lost tail by transforming into his final form. 159

Space Survival

Frieza can survive in the vacuum of space, giving him a strategic advantage over Saiyans during planetary destruction threats. 134

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Hoverchair — Used while receiving reports on Namek; Dyspo destroys it during their first clash. 148
• Scouter — Used by Frieza's forces to track combat power; Frieza is later without one after its destruction. 121 157
• Protective armor — Worn in his earlier form and destroyed during transformation. 122

Relationships

• Cooler — His brother. Frieza nominates Cooler for a God of Destruction role, later fights alongside him against the Saiyans, and is enraged upon finding Cooler dead. 33 161 173
• Beerus — A feared superior whom Frieza tries to appease by providing Gourmet Planet and suggesting Cooler as a candidate for Beerus's new-universe project. 23 33
• Dodoria — Subordinate repeatedly punished or threatened for failures and careless wording. 3 32 148
• Zarbon — Trusted subordinate assigned to monitor Vegeta and assist Dodoria in searching for the Dragon Balls. 3 148
• Vegeta — Former Saiyan prince under Frieza's rule and a recurring enemy. Frieza initially underestimates him, but is eventually overwhelmed by Super Saiyan Vegeta. 3 159 160
• Son Goku — Saiyan adversary whom Frieza attempts to recruit before trying to kill him; Goku's Super Saiyan transformation leaves Frieza outmatched. 130 133 135
• Lu Fan — A Saiyan Frieza initially dismisses as broken, only to be repeatedly humiliated by him. Lu Fan ultimately executes Frieza. 32 134 161 174
• Dyspo — Pride Trooper who defeats Frieza decisively, even after Frieza transforms into his second form. 148 149
• Toppo — Pride Trooper who easily overpowers and humiliates Frieza after Frieza attempts to attack him. 164

Story Role / Major Arcs

Destruction of Planet Vegeta

Frieza views Saiyan potential as an existential threat and prepares their extermination. He later openly claims responsibility for destroying Planet Vegeta. 3 130

Future Namek Conflict

Lu Fan brings Vegeta to a parallel future timeline in which Lu Fan does not exist, allowing Vegeta to witness Frieza's assault on Namek. Frieza reveals his transformations, kills Krillin and Dende, defeats Vegeta, and battles Son Goku. 121 122 126 127

After Son Goku becomes a Super Saiyan following Krillin's death, Frieza is outclassed. He attempts to force victory by threatening Namek with a Death Ball, relying on his ability to survive in space. 133 134

Pride Troopers' Arrival

When Dodoria brings the Pride Troopers to him, Frieza attacks Quincy and summons the Ginyu Force. Dyspo retaliates, defeats Frieza through both his first and second forms, and leaves him unconscious on Namek. 148 149

Battle Against Super Saiyan Vegeta

Frieza awakens to confront Vegeta, but Vegeta defeats his first three forms and tears off his tail. Frieza's final form initially surprises Vegeta, yet Super Saiyan Vegeta proceeds to overwhelm him and nearly kills him with an energy blast. Cooler arrives in time to save Frieza. 157 158 159 160

Frieza and Cooler then agree to eliminate the Saiyans together. Frieza attempts to kill Lu Fan, but his attack is erased by Destruction Energy. 161

Death

After Cooler is killed, Frieza lashes out at Namek with Death Balls and directs his rage toward Dyspo. Lu Fan then tells Frieza that training could lead to a higher form before sending him to “Hell” by shattering him with a single finger point. 173 174
