Background
Beerus ordered Frieza to destroy the Saiyan race before entering slumber. The stated reasons were the Saiyans' atrocities alongside the Frieza Force and the threat their combined influence posed to Universe 7's stability. Beerus instead permitted the Saiyans to survive under Galactic Patrol oversight after Louis became a Candidate God of Destruction 1 3.
During Beerus's sleep, Frieza served as his proxy for planetary destruction. His force's indiscriminate expansion and destruction of both qualified and unqualified planets eventually angered Beerus 38.
Appearance
Frieza is depicted with purple-and-white skin, a hard bone-like outer layer, triangular eyes, and an overtly sinister expression. He commonly travels in a hovering pod described as a “stroller” or “baby carriage” 14.
- Purple and white coloration.
- Body encased in hard, bone-like armor.
- Triangular eyes.
- Uses a floating hover pod in his restrained form.
- His transformations increase his bulk before his final form becomes notably smaller in stature 15 33.
Personality
Frieza is tyrannical, cruel, and intensely possessive of his authority. He considers the Saiyans' departure for the Galactic Patrol a personal betrayal and repeatedly orders the Frieza Force to hunt them down 23.
He is also calculating when faced with superior power. After Louis demonstrates Destruction energy, Frieza immediately suppresses his humiliation, identifies Louis as Beerus's disciple, and complies with his demand to summon Cui 15.
His confidence regularly becomes fatal arrogance. Frieza dismisses the growing Saiyan threat, believes the Dragon Balls can make him sole ruler of the universe, and underestimates Son Goku until the Super Saiyan transformation leaves him completely outmatched 30 33 35.

Transformations
Frieza can unlock multiple forms to raise his combat power dramatically.
- His first revealed transformation raises him to roughly 1,000,000 combat power 15 32.
- His final form possesses 60,000,000 combat power 33.
- His full-power output reaches 120,000,000 combat power, but its stamina consumption causes his strength to decline quickly 35.

- Easily overwhelms Son Goku, Vegeta, and the Great Apes after entering his final form 33 34.
- Is ultimately surpassed by Super Saiyan Son Goku's 250,000,000 combat power 35.
Relationships

- Louis — Antagonist who humiliates Frieza at his headquarters, exposes him to Destruction energy, and later kills him on Namek 15 35.

- Cui — Subordinate summoned at Louis's demand; Louis kills Cui for hunting Tights 15.
- King Vegeta and the Saiyans — Former subordinates whom Frieza brands traitors after they join the Galactic Patrol; he seeks to exterminate them on Namek 23 31.
- Son Goku — Saiyan opponent on Namek; Frieza kills Bardock, triggering Goku's Super Saiyan transformation and eventual defeat of Frieza 34 35.
Story Role / Major Arcs
Frieza Force Headquarters
Louis and Tights invade Frieza's headquarters to avenge Tights's mistreatment by Cui. Frieza initially attempts to recruit Louis after learning of his strength, but Louis effortlessly defeats him, reveals Destruction energy, and forces him to produce Cui 14 15.
Frieza becomes afraid to openly pursue the Saiyans after learning that Louis is a Candidate God of Destruction. This restraint allows the Saiyans to grow stronger within the Galactic Patrol 16.
Hunt for the Dragon Balls
Frieza learns of a legend concerning immortality and turns his attention to the Dragon Balls. He intends to use them to eliminate the Saiyans, Louis, and Beerus and rule the universe alone 23 30.
Battle of Namek
Frieza leads 2,000 Frieza Force troops to Namek against King Vegeta's Saiyan force. After Ginyu and the Frieza Force are defeated, Frieza personally fights the Saiyans, raising his strength from 530,000 to 1,000,000 combat power 31 32.
Facing the Saiyans' Great Ape forms, Frieza reveals his final form at 60,000,000 combat power. He decisively overpowers King Vegeta, Vegeta, Son Goku, Bardock, Bibert, and Theodore 33 34.
Frieza kills Bardock, causing Son Goku to become a Super Saiyan. Although Frieza unleashes 120,000,000 combat power, Son Goku overwhelms him. Louis then appears and kills the incapacitated Frieza with a ki blast rather than Destruction energy 34 35.
Trivia
- Frieza recognizes Destruction energy immediately and realizes that Louis has a connection to Beerus 15.
- He falsely assumes Louis secretly helped the Saiyans become stronger, despite Louis not having trained the Saiyan race 31.
- Frieza conceals his 120,000,000 full-power state when first explaining his transformations, citing its heavy stamina consumption implicitly through his later performance 33 35.
