Background / History

Frieza arrives on Namek with Dodoria, Zarbon, and Frieza Force soldiers in search of the Dragon Balls. Nappa regards him with terror as the “Emperor of the Universe,” while Frieza takes an immediate interest in Son Goku after recognizing his resemblance to Bardock. He twice offers Goku a place in his ranks, including a planet as payment, but Goku refuses. 8 9 11

After dismissing Goku's Kaio-ken-enhanced power, Frieza fights him one-handed and easily dominates the battle. He later unveils his Final Form against Noa, but Noa holds a decisive advantage, dismantles Frieza's planet-destroying attack, and intercepts his attempted escape. 11 13 14

Noa offers Frieza survival in exchange for becoming his subordinate. Frieza initially refuses and is knocked unconscious; after further resistance, Li Wei takes him to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for a month of “education” in love and justice. The experience forces Frieza into obedience, though he initially returns to his father, King Cold, intending to train for revenge. 14 16

Over the following years, Frieza trains, helps maintain order in the universe, and receives half of Zagi's Wings as a reward from Li Wei. The artifact grants him dark and spacetime-based powers, which he uses to decisively defeat Cell. 40 41 42

After witnessing Li Wei's intervention against Beerus, Frieza abandons thoughts of rebellion out of fear of Li Wei's overwhelming strength. He later returns to Earth to measure himself against its Saiyans, defeating Cell, Trunks, Vegeta, and Goku through successive transformations before Beast Gohan knocks him unconscious with a single punch. Frieza accepts the gap in strength and leaves to train further. 63 64 70 71

Appearance

Frieza has a slender build in his Final Form, a long tail, and an outwardly composed expression that often becomes mocking during battle. His appearance changes sharply between transformations. 9 13 67 70

• Rides in a hover pod during his initial appearance on Namek. 8 9
• Final Form: Slender body with an oppressive aura. 13
• Golden Form: White skin becomes gold, surrounded by a blazing golden aura. 67
• Black-Gold Form: Black-and-gold coloration accompanied by dark power. 68 69
• Dark God of Destruction Form: Skin becomes abyss-black and radiates destructive energy. 70

Personality

Frieza is proud, theatrical, and habitually contemptuous of opponents he considers beneath him. He frequently fights with one hand, taunts Saiyans as “monkeys,” and offers recruitment to exceptional fighters before deciding whether to destroy them. 11 18 64 70

His confidence gives way to fear when confronted with Li Wei, whose power and punishment force Frieza to become outwardly respectful and obedient. Even so, he retains his ambition: rather than resent Gohan after losing, he recognizes Gohan's strength and resolves to train harder. 14 16 63 71

Frieza can also show combat sportsmanship when permitted to choose an opponent, declining to fight Goku, Vegeta, and Trunks while they are exhausted because he considers such a victory unfair. 65
