Background / History
Frieza ruled the Saiyans through fear while privately regarding them as too proud to become truly loyal servants. Fearing the legends of the Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan God, he resolved to eradicate the Saiyans along with Planet Vegeta. He recalled Saiyans from across the universe, prohibited unauthorized departures, and planned to destroy the planet after gathering them together. 17 27 119
Although he initially intended to eliminate Planet Vegeta within a month, Frieza later set the destruction date for three days later so that the remaining returning Saiyans could be captured as well. He specifically intended to seize Reiz and Vegeta after the planet's destruction. 4 119
The Supreme Kai confronted Frieza aboard his flagship over Majin Buu's release and Frieza's history of planetary destruction. Frieza denied releasing Buu, but acknowledged that Beerus had assigned him planetary destruction work. After arrogantly dismissing the Supreme Kai, Frieza was badly injured even after transforming into his fourth form and disclosed that Beerus was likely in the God of Destruction Realm. 120 121
Appearance
In his usual first form, Frieza is small and slender, with white skin, purple chest and shoulder armor, triangular eyes, purple lips, and a long tail. He commonly travels in an infant-carrier-like hoverchair. 17 31
- Fourth/final form — A sleek, white, lizard-like body with elongated limbs and tail; this is his strongest documented transformation. 121 193
- Eyes — Cold, triangular eyes that are repeatedly emphasized as intimidating. 17 238
- Tail — Long and prehensile-looking; it remains visible in both his first and final forms. 17 193
Personality
Frieza is intensely arrogant and status-conscious, habitually presenting himself as the “Universe Emperor” and treating weaker beings as beneath his notice. His fear of a potential Saiyan uprising is hidden beneath that superiority complex; rather than risk disloyalty, he chooses extermination. 17 119
He is also calculating when survival is at stake. After defeats by the Supreme Kai, Merus, and Toppo, Frieza sought Beerus and exaggerated his relationship with him by claiming to be Beerus's disciple. 122 200 203 204
Humiliation consistently provokes reckless retaliation. Once Merus removed his restraints, Frieza immediately attacked Merus, Jaco, and Tights from behind rather than accept the offered chance to stop committing evil. 171 173
Abilities & Skills
Transformations
Frieza belongs to a race capable of multiple transformations, each altering his appearance and increasing his combat power. 5 194
| Form | Combat Power | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| First form | About 530,000 | Frieza's restrained form, usually seated in a hoverchair. 5 17 |
| Second form | About 1,000,000 | Combat-power estimate given by Reiz to Bardock. 5 |
| Third form | About 2,000,000 | Combat-power estimate given by Reiz to Bardock. 5 |
| Fourth / final form | About 120,000,000 | His true battle form; the earlier 3,000,000 estimate given to Bardock concealed Frieza's actual strength. 5 30 194 |
Energy Manipulation
Frieza can form and launch destructive Energy Blasts powerful enough to threaten celestial bodies.
- Fired three energy blasts at Merus's Galactic Patrol ship; Merus evaded them without retaliating. 157
- Attacked Toppo and Muse with a dark-red blast that Toppo casually deflected into space. 195
- Fired a white, destructive blast at Merus, Jaco, and Tights after being released; it missed and devastated sections of Frieza's own ship. 173
Flight and Space Survival
Frieza can fly freely through space and remain alive in vacuum.
- Drifted through space in his final form after losing his ship. 193
- Pursued Reiz's Flying Saucer but could not match its speed despite his 120 million Combat Power. 194
Limitations
- Angel Power-enhanced handcuffs could restrain him completely; even his full exertion could not break them. 171
- He was overwhelmingly outmatched by the Supreme Kai, Merus, Toppo, and Broly. 121 196 215
- After Broly's assault, his Combat Power fell from 120 million to roughly 30 million. 215
Equipment / Assets
- Hoverchair — His usual personal transport while in first form; destroyed by the Supreme Kai's Divine Power. 17 120

- Beerus's destruction-order scroll — A scroll containing genuine destruction power, used to support Frieza's claim of acting for Beerus. 204
Relationships
- Beerus — Frieza carried out planetary destruction assignments for Beerus and falsely elevated that working relationship into a claim of discipleship. 120 204
- Cooler — Older brother. Frieza sought Cooler’s aid and access to a fast ship after being beaten by Toppo and Merus; Cooler instead mocked him and was later killed. 200 202 203
- King Cold — Father and head of the family; later killed alongside Cooler and Ize by Reiz's group. 223 285
- Ize — Frieza's son, who lived on Planet Frieza 1; he was killed after Frieza had already been captured. 226 285
- Berryblue — Loyal subordinate who reported on returning Saiyans and assisted Frieza's operations despite being terrified by his defeats. 119 122
- Zarbon — Trusted subordinate who reported Dodoria's disappearance and received orders to dispatch Qiu Yi. 31
- Reiz — Saiyan adversary whom Frieza intended to capture after destroying Planet Vegeta; Frieza later blamed him for destroying Cooler’s planet. 119 213
- Vegeta — Saiyan prince and longtime target of Frieza’s planned purge; later openly opposed and taunted him. 119 226

Story Role / Major Arcs
Planned Destruction of Planet Vegeta
Frieza gathered the Saiyans under the pretense of attacking a Super Star, intending instead to destroy Planet Vegeta and prevent the emergence of a Super Saiyan threat. 17 27 119
Conflict with the Supreme Kai
The Supreme Kai accused Frieza of releasing Majin Buu and punished him for his planetary crimes. Frieza's fourth form proved useless against the Kai's Divine Power, leaving him injured and desperate to find Beerus. 120 121 122
Galactic Patrol Incident
Ignoring Beerus's warning to avoid the Galactic Patrol, Frieza attacked Merus's ship. Merus later boarded Frieza's flagship, defeated his soldiers, knocked Frieza unconscious, and restrained him with Angel Power-enhanced handcuffs. 157 160 161 171
Pursuit by Toppo and Merus
After escaping his restraints, Frieza became stranded in space and encountered Toppo and Muse. His attack drew their attention, after which Merus and Toppo brutally defeated and interrogated him. Frieza led them toward Planet Cooler 1 in hopes that Cooler could save him. 193 195 196 200
Fall of the Frieza Family
Cooler could not protect Frieza and was killed during the conflict on Planet Cooler 1. Frieza then confronted Reiz, Vegeta, Broly, and Buu amid the planet's debris, but Broly easily overwhelmed him and reduced him with a Shrink Gun. 203 213 215
Reiz's group subsequently destroyed Planet King Cold 1, Planet Frieza 1, and dozens of other numbered Frieza family planets. Cooler, King Cold, and Ize were killed, while Frieza remained a helpless captive. 226 230 285
Notable Quotes
“Regardless, the Saiyans are a group with extremely high pride; they will never become my truly loyal servants! It is time for them to be destroyed along with their planet!” 17
“I am Lord Beerus's... disciple!” 203
“Do you know who you're talking to? Standing before you is Frieza, the Universe Emperor...” 196
Trivia
- Frieza's true final-form Combat Power of 120 million was concealed from Bardock; Reiz initially presented a far lower estimate to avoid destroying Bardock's will to fight. 5 30
- While thumb-sized, Frieza cannot speak due to the Shrink Gun's compression effect. 226
- King Vegeta's treasured liquor was used to soak Frieza, and he was later kept in the bottle as a palace ornament. 243 285
