Background / History
Vegeta informs Frieza of the Dragon Balls after his defeat, prompting King Kai to warn Goku and Sun Wuxiu that Frieza's arrival would endanger the universe 52. On Namek, Frieza personally enters battle after the Ginyu Force is wiped out. Piccolo can initially match his First Form, but Frieza transforms into his Final Form when he realizes the Dragon Balls are being used without him 62 63.
Frieza's pursuit of immortality fails when the Dragon Balls disappear before he can make his wish. He battles Goku and Sun Wuxiu, but Sun Wuxiu repels Frieza's planetary-scale energy sphere with a tenfold Kaioken Kamehameha, leaving Frieza injured 64 65. Frieza is later defeated; after his death, Goku and Piccolo discuss the special Other World punishment reserved for souls considered irredeemably evil 68 284.
Twenty years after the battle on Namek, Frieza is resurrected amid the planet's still-ruined landscape. He accepts Shenron's teleportation request to Earth, intending to settle his grudge against Sun Wuxiu, only to find himself surrounded by former enemies and stronger Saiyans 423 424.
Following another period of intense training, Frieza returns to Earth with vastly increased strength. He humiliates Raditz, reveals his Final Form, then unveils Golden Frieza against Super Saiyan Blue Goku and later Black Frieza against Vegeta and Goku 453 455 459. Black Frieza overwhelms them both, but Jiren exposes the form's heavy stamina drain and defeats Frieza, forcing him back into his Final Form 465 468.
Rather than accept defeat, Frieza attempts to destroy Earth and take everyone with him. The attack fails, and Jiren captures him; Beerus then spares Frieza only because he still needs someone to perform planetary-destruction work, forcing him into the Universe 6 tournament 469 471 472.
Appearance
Frieza is a compact alien with a sleek, white-and-purple body in his Final Form. His later transformations alter his coloration rather than greatly increasing his size.
- First Form — commonly uses a hoverchair; emits an oppressive, evil aura 62.
- Final Form — slender white body, purple markings, and a compact, streamlined build 63 454.
- Golden Frieza — white skin and purple armor-like sections become brilliant gold 455.
- Black Frieza — black-and-purple physique with a restrained aura that seems to absorb surrounding light and gravity 500.
Personality
Frieza is arrogant, theatrical, and openly contemptuous of those he considers inferior—especially Saiyans. He treats humiliation as intolerable, taking particular pleasure in physically and psychologically tormenting opponents such as Raditz and Frost 424 453 486.
His primary motivation after resurrection is revenge against Sun Wuxiu. Even after developing forms powerful enough to overwhelm Goku and Vegeta, Frieza remains fixated on measuring Sun Wuxiu's strength before attempting revenge again 423 465 499.
Frieza is also calculating. He studies Hit's movements to identify the timing of Time-Skip, recognizes Frost's hypocrisy and concealed poison needle, and precisely limits the power used to shatter Hit's subspace 487 493 502. However, his pride and enjoyment of cruelty repeatedly lead him to prolong fights, while his Black Form's poor stamina efficiency ultimately costs him against Jiren 468.

- Black Frieza — surpasses the threshold of Hit's Time Prison and is assessed around God of Destruction-level base power 500.

Energy Projection
Frieza can generate highly destructive ki attacks, from rapid beams to massive finishing spheres.
- Forms a dark-purple energy sphere intended to finish Goku and Vegeta 465.
- Attempts to destroy Earth by driving destructive energy toward its core 471.

Durability and Physical Power

- Overpowers Super Saiyan 2 Raditz in First Form and breaks his morale after transforming 453 454.
- Can fight Super Saiyan Blue Goku evenly in Golden Form 455 456.

- Raditz — former Frieza Force underling whom Frieza considers insignificant; Frieza later brutally defeats him after Raditz challenges him 424 453.
- Cooler — older brother who arrives on Namek after Frieza's defeat and mocks his humiliation 58 68.
- Beerus — God of Destruction who treats Frieza as a subordinate, threatens his life, and forces him into tournament service 472.
- Jiren — overwhelmingly powerful opponent who defeats Frieza by exploiting Black Form's stamina drain and captures him afterward 468 471.
- Frost — Universe 6 counterpart whose hypocritical persona Frieza immediately sees through; Frieza exposes and brutally defeats him 486 487.
- Hit — Universe 6 assassin whose time techniques challenge Frieza until Black Frieza breaks Time Prison and wins by shattering Hit's subspace 497 500 502.
- Sorbet — subordinate responsible for Frieza's resurrection; is thrown before Frieza by Sun Wuxiu upon Frieza's arrival on Earth 423.
