Background

Frieza built an empire around the Frieza Force, using its combat personnel to seize inhabited worlds. Conquered planets are “reclaimed” and sold, while native populations can be exterminated; Planet No. 78 had been stripped of all intelligent native life before Raditz attacked its Force base. 56 57

Fearing the rise of a Saiyan powerful enough to oppose him, Frieza personally destroyed Planet Vegeta and concealed the genocide behind the story that the planet had been struck by a meteor. He initially believed Vegeta might become the predicted threat, but later turned his attention to the mysterious Saiyan attacking his territories. 57

Appearance

Frieza's appearance changes substantially between his forms. In his initial form, he is commonly seated in a hovering chair and has a tail; his combat forms become progressively more imposing before resolving into a small, streamlined final form. 56 63

• Uses a hovering chair while commanding his forces. 56
• Has a tail that he casually sways while seated. 56
• His first transformed state has enormous horns. 63
• His final form is smooth and compact, but carries a far more oppressive presence. 63

Personality

Frieza initially presents himself as composed, polite, and amused by his subordinates, even addressing Dodoria and Zarbon as “Mr. Dodoria” and “Mr. Zarbon.” That calm façade fades quickly when his authority is challenged: reports of repeated attacks on his planets make his subordinates struggle to breathe under the pressure of his anger. 56 57

He is calculating rather than merely vengeful. Frieza considers capturing the unknown Saiyan to expose any organization supporting him, but resolves to eliminate every surviving Saiyan connected to the threat if necessary. Following Raditz's escape, he shifts into his final form permanently, orders a universe-wide wanted notice, and begins seeking additional high-level combatants. 57 63

Abilities & Skills

Transformations

Frieza suppresses his strength through multiple physical transformations and can rapidly escalate when an opponent exceeds his expectations.

• His initial form is overwhelmed by Raditz's surprise attack. 62
• His horned form matches Raditz's then-peak battle power of roughly 1.5 million. 63
• He can skip directly to his final form rather than proceeding through every transformation. 63
• Transforming leaves him vulnerable to disruption; Raditz blinds him with Solar Flare and escapes before he can retaliate. 63

Ki Manipulation

Frieza can project destructive energy and withstand attacks that would destroy lesser fighters.

• Deflects Raditz's massive energy blast after transforming. 63
• Fires dense finger beams in anger, tearing apart nearby meteors, spacecraft, and debris. 63
• Flies through space while pursuing Raditz. 60
• His immense ki can be sensed from across a planetary base. 59

Command and Strategic Mobilization

As ruler of the Frieza Force, Frieza directs combat personnel across numerous planets and responds swiftly to threats against his empire.

• Recalls Vegeta, the Ginyu Force, Cui, and other combat personnel after several Frieza planets are attacked. 57
• Dispatches Dodoria and Zarbon to inspect threatened worlds. 57
• Orders Vegeta to locate the unidentified Saiyan and promises not to kill him if he succeeds. 63
• Issues a universe-wide bounty offering money or resource planets for information on Raditz. 63

Equipment / Items

• Hovering chair — used while overseeing reports at Frieza Planet No. 79. 56 57
• Scouter — used to monitor battle powers and search for Raditz after his escape. 60 63

Relationships

• Raditz — Primary adversary. Raditz attacks Frieza Force planets, destroys Frieza Planet No. 79, kills key personnel, injures Frieza, and repeatedly escapes him. 57 60 62 63
• Dodoria — Subordinate and senior Frieza Force combatant who assists in receiving reports and carrying out Frieza's orders. 56 57
• Zarbon — Subordinate who advises Frieza and is later killed during Raditz's infiltration of Planet No. 79. 57 60
• Captain Ginyu — Captain of Frieza's elite force. Frieza reprimands him for fleeing from Raditz but keeps him due to the Force's depleted ranks. 61 63
• Vegeta — Saiyan subordinate tasked with locating the mysterious Saiyan; Frieza suspects Vegeta may know the attacker. 57 63
• Cooler — A powerful figure Frieza considers asking for assistance after Raditz's escape. 63

Story Role / Major Arcs

Attacks on the Frieza Force

After Raditz destroys the base on Planet No. 78, then attacks two further Frieza planets, Frieza initially doubts the report that the culprit is a Saiyan with a battle power above 100,000. The successive attacks convince him that the threat is serious, prompting a force-wide recall. 56 57

Destruction of Frieza Planet No. 79

Raditz infiltrates Frieza's core headquarters in disguise, kills several of Frieza's core combatants, and triggers the planet's destruction. Frieza pursues him but arrives too late to prevent Raditz's escape or the planet's collapse. 58 60

Battle with Raditz

Frieza catches up to Raditz near the surviving members of the Ginyu Force. Raditz's full-power blast injures Frieza and forces him into a transformed state, but Frieza's strength rises far beyond Raditz's once he begins transforming further. Raditz escapes by using Solar Flare during Frieza's transformation into his final form. 62 63

Universe-Wide Hunt

Enraged by the destruction of his headquarters and the loss of his elite personnel, Frieza places a universal bounty on Raditz and orders his remaining forces to track him down. The search causes Raditz's identity and actions to become known throughout the universe. 63 64

Notable Quotes

“It seems I have not taken action for so long that some people have forgotten I exist.” 57

“A Saiyan like you must be dealt with by my own hand.” 63

“What mattered was that he had to die!” 63

Trivia

• Frieza initially entertains the possibility that the attacking Saiyan is a Super Saiyan, though he dismisses a battle power of 100,000 as insignificant beside his true strength. 57
• After Raditz escapes during his transformation, Frieza decides to remain in his final form to avoid being caught off guard again. 63
