Background / History

Frieza is the ruler of the Frieza Force and the individual responsible for destroying Planet Vegeta, an act that fuels Vegeta's hatred toward him. His forces also pursued the rogue Saiyan An Xiu after An Xiu repeatedly attacked the organization and refused to join it 8 13.

He travels to Namek to obtain immortality through its Dragon Balls. By the time he learns that the Dragon Balls have already been used, several fighters with power beyond his expectations have gathered around the Grand Elder's residence 12 13.

Appearance

Frieza arrives at the Namek battlefield in his final form as a small white figure. Before departing, he transforms from the form in which he was seated in a stroller as a precaution against the powerful presences on Namek 12.

• Final form — Small, white-bodied appearance 12.
• Earlier form — Uses a stroller-like vehicle while awaiting developments on Namek 12.

Personality

Frieza is intensely prideful and contemptuous toward Saiyans, repeatedly calling them “monkeys.” He reacts with rage when An Xiu's use of the Dragon Balls ruins his plan for eternal life, and he wants An Xiu kept alive specifically so he can torture him 13.

Despite his arrogance, Frieza can act strategically when threatened. He enters his final form before confronting the unknown powerful fighters on Namek, lets Ginyu confront An Xiu first, and uses a planet-destroying attack as cover to escape when Ginyu is defeated 12 13 14.

Abilities & Skills

Transformations

Frieza possesses three transformations beyond his first form. His first-form battle power is measured at 530,000, while his final form is stated to exceed 100 million 3 7.

• Transforms into his final form before approaching the Grand Elder's residence 12.
• Believes his full power surpasses that of a Super Saiyan, even after witnessing Ginyu's transformation 13.
• His final form allows him to personally intervene after his forces prove inadequate 12.

Ki Attacks

Frieza uses concentrated purple lasers and large-scale energy spheres in combat.

• Fires a purple finger laser at An Xiu with at least half of his strength; An Xiu deflects it with his tail 13.
• Condenses a dark crimson sphere intended to destroy Namek along with An Xiu 14.
• Adds multiple ki blasts to detonate the sphere after An Xiu stops its descent 14.

Durability and Vitality

Frieza remains capable of movement after An Xiu's punch shatters half his skull.

• Survives being driven through mountains and islands and skidding thousands of meters across the ground 14.
• Retains enough strength to stand and confront An Xiu after the injury 14.

Limitations

• Cannot sense ki and relies on scouters to locate powerful fighters 12 14.
• His planet-destroying attack fails to kill An Xiu, who holds it up one-handed before it detonates 14.
• Is decisively defeated by An Xiu after Ginyu is incapacitated 14.

Relationships

• An Xiu — Enemy. Frieza's force hunted An Xiu for refusing to join and attacking its members; Frieza is defeated by him on Namek and vows revenge 8 14.
• Vegeta — Former subordinate and enemy. Vegeta identifies Frieza as the destroyer of Planet Vegeta and seeks revenge against him 13.
• Captain Ginyu — Trusted subordinate. Frieza initially relies on Ginyu to capture An Xiu alive, believing Ginyu's Super Saiyan power gives them the advantage 13.
• Ginyu Force — Elite unit dispatched to support Frieza on Namek and previously assigned to hunt An Xiu 7 8.
• Son Goku — Opponent indirectly involved in Frieza's Namek conflict; Frieza initially mistakes Goku, who is in Ginyu's body, for Ginyu 13.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Namek Arc

Frieza heads to Namek to use the Dragon Balls for immortality. After his scouter identifies several powerful fighters and the Dragon Balls are summoned, he transforms into his final form and personally approaches the Grand Elder's residence 12.

He learns that Ginyu has exchanged bodies with Son Goku and that the Namekian Dragon Balls have already been used. Enraged, Frieza attacks An Xiu and orders Ginyu to leave him alive for torture 13.

After An Xiu defeats Super Saiyan Ginyu, Frieza attempts to destroy Namek and An Xiu together. An Xiu survives, counterattacks, and leaves Frieza severely injured. Rather than finishing him, An Xiu allows Frieza to leave under warning; Frieza retreats while promising to repay the humiliation “a hundredfold” 14.
