Background / History

Frieza ruled the universe through the Frieza Force and regarded the legend of a golden-haired Super Saiyan as a racial nightmare for Frost Demons. When his men detected the infant Gamos with a power level beyond 10,000, Frieza ordered the child brought aboard his ship rather than immediately killed, intending to keep such a danger under his own watch. 1 2

Gamos's defensive energy burned Frieza's hand and enabled the infant to escape. Concluding that no potential Super Saiyan could be allowed to mature, Frieza fired a full-power beam at him and believed he had eliminated the threat. He then proceeded with the extermination of the Saiyans, destroying Planet Vegeta with a massive energy sphere despite Bardock's attempt to stop him. 2

On Namek, Frieza battled Son Goku after Goku's first Super Saiyan transformation. He employed a barrage of energy blasts and concealed a Destructo Disc among them, nearly bisecting Goku. The fight left Frieza catastrophically injured; Cooler later found him missing an arm, leg, and tail and placed him in a regeneration tank. 6 11

Frieza later resumed his activities as a planetary real-estate magnate. After Moro disrupted worlds Frieza had sold, Frieza ambushed and executed him with a red laser when Moro refused to submit. 70

Appearance

Frieza is a short, smooth-skinned Frost Demon with purple crystal-like protrusions on his head, chest, shoulders, and calves. His face has purple-black lips and blood-tear-like markings beneath the eyes. 6

  • In his base state, he has white skin and a long tail. 74
  • His Golden Form covers him in a golden aura and golden skin. 72 140
  • Black Gold Skin changes his body to black after his rage-driven breakthrough. 89
  • Purple-Gold Skin combines purple-gold coloring with an aura of destruction. 201
  • At world level, his body develops markings and armor-like growths over his shoulders and wrists; he also becomes taller. 203

Personality

Frieza is cruel, proud, and deeply protective of his status as Emperor of the Universe. He responds violently to humiliation, whether from Saiyans, Gamos, or Beerus, and his hatred of Saiyans drives much of his conduct. 72 89 140 184

Despite his tyranny, Frieza values competence. He offers capable opponents a place under his rule rather than killing them immediately, arguing that subordinates with independent opinions are more useful than obedient fools. 72 He is also pragmatic when survival demands it, agreeing to work with Gamos for resurrection and later accepting training despite resenting the humiliation it causes. 133 136

His later training gives him greater respect for technique and combat experience. After being repeatedly outmaneuvered by an energy puppet of himself, Frieza acknowledges the need to improve rather than relying solely on overwhelming power. 136
