Background / History

Five years before the story, King Cold transferred leadership of the King Cold Force to Frieza, after which it was renamed the Frieza Force. Nappa describes Frieza as an even more brutal commander than his father. 1

Frieza planned to exterminate the Saiyans of Planet Vegeta within four months. He regarded the legends of the Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan God as potential threats, though he also found the prospect of having no rivals boring. When Vegeta departed the planet, Frieza initially had Cui pursue him, authorizing Cui to kill him if necessary. 2 3

Years later, Vegeta infiltrated Frieza's flagship and challenged him directly. Frieza's first and second forms were effortlessly overwhelmed, while his final form and full power of 120 million combat power still failed to threaten Vegeta. Vegeta rendered him unconscious by spinning him by the tail, then transported him away in a Flight Cube. 107 110

Frieza awoke stranded on Planet Wanzu in Universe 10. Unable to contact his forces or recognize the region of space, he was defeated by Napapa, one of Universe 10's strongest figures. His attempts to reassert his authority only led to further humiliation. 116 117

On Planet Wanzu, Frieza attacked a local inhabitant and was confronted by Zamasu. His attacks, including a large energy sphere, could not harm Zamasu, who was preparing to kill him before Vegeta intervened. 124 125

After communication with the Frieza Force was restored, Frieza remained unchanged in strength despite his circumstances. Vegeta concluded that ordinary training alone would not allow him to unlock a new form such as Golden Frieza. 192 237

Vegeta later relocated Frieza, Dodoria, Zarbon, and their forces to a planet containing Dragon Balls. Frieza ordered his men to search for the artifacts after Vegeta claimed they could grant any wish, particularly an Immortal Body. 268 276

During the conflict on Dragon Ball Planet, Frieza battled Piccolo, Gohan, Krillin, and Dende. He revealed his third and final forms, killed Dende, and severely injured Piccolo before fighting Son Goku. Frieza initially dominated Goku but was defeated when Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan God. 284 287

Frieza later returned to Earth alongside King Cold, Cooler, and Kuru to take revenge on Son Goku. He instead faced Trunks, who transformed into a Super Saiyan and killed Frieza with a single sword strike before destroying his remains with an energy blast. 289 291

Appearance

Frieza is usually depicted seated in a hoverchair aboard his spacecraft, with a long tail that he often moves while speaking. His combat forms range from increasingly large transformations to a smaller, compact final form. 1 107 285

• Uses a hoverchair while commanding the Frieza Force. 1 107
• Possesses a tail, which Vegeta exploited to incapacitate him. 1 109
• His final form is smaller and more compact than his earlier transformations. 285
• His third form visibly shocked Piccolo, Gohan, and Krillin. 285

Personality

Frieza is arrogant, cruel, and intensely status-conscious. He repeatedly calls himself the Emperor of the Universe, expects obedience from subordinates, and treats weaker beings as disposable. His plan to erase the Saiyans came from both paranoia over their potential and a desire to retain absolute control. 2 116

He enjoys taunting opponents and theatrical displays of power, but humiliation quickly provokes rage. After repeated defeats by Vegeta, Napapa, and Zamasu, his confidence gives way to fear and frustration, though he continues pursuing revenge and greater power. 108 116 124 268
