History

Encounter with Indra

Frieza ruled from Planet 88 and commanded the 365-member 88th Legion. When reports spread that a “demon” was causing unexplained disappearances, Frieza personally investigated and killed an underling for suggesting that he was afraid. 2

Indra erased Frieza's external ears, leaving his ear canals intact so that he could still hear. Frieza retaliated in his Fourth Form, while Dodoria and Zarbon joined the attack, but Indra erased Frieza's attacks and remained unharmed by Frieza's headbutt. 2

Unable to defeat Indra, Frieza and King Cold became his unwilling subordinates. The pair repeatedly considered escape and plotted to strand Indra in space after arranging for Planet Vegeta to be destroyed, but fear of Indra erasing vital organs kept them compliant. 2 3

Frieza escorted Indra to Planet Vegeta, introduced him as the Frieza Force's “supreme commander,” and endured being ordered to sing “Two Tigers” alongside King Cold. Indra's erasure of the Saiyan royal palace convinced Frieza that his power had grown even further. 3 4

Namek Conflict

After Indra disappeared following Planet Vegeta's destruction, Frieza judged there to be an eighty-percent chance that he was dead. He later learned of the Dragon Balls and headed for Planet Namek, intending to make a wish before Indra could learn of them; his intended solution to Indra was to involve Beerus. 8 22

On Namek, Frieza immediately submitted when Indra reappeared, handing over a Dragon Ball without protest. He was subsequently ordered to fight Vegeta, Piccolo, Krillin, and Gohan without access to Dende's healing. 29 39

Frieza overwhelmed Vegeta, then escalated through his transformations as Piccolo and Gohan challenged him. In his final form, he revealed a battle power of 120 million, exhausted his opponents’ healing opportunities, and initially dominated Goku until Goku became a Super Saiyan. 40 41 43 44

After releasing his full power, Frieza attempted to continue the fight despite Goku's proposal to stop. Indra erased him, then immediately restored him after gaining a recovery ability. 45

Revival and Return to Earth

Shenron later revived Frieza. Upon learning of Goku's accomplishments, including Majin Buu's defeat, Frieza resolved to train for several months and seek revenge on Earth. 152

After four months of training, Frieza returned with a new army and confronted Earth's defenders. His army was almost completely eliminated by Piccolo, Krillin, and Tien Shinhan, while Frieza's Fourth Form critically wounded Piccolo before Mystic Gohan temporarily overwhelmed him. 174 175 176

Frieza challenged Indra directly, but Indra casually removed his ears again and later protected the Z Warriors behind a barrier. Frieza's own attack reflected from the barrier and pierced his shoulder. 177 179

Using Golden Frieza, he severely injured Gohan and fought Goku after being restored to full strength with a Senzu Bean. Goku deliberately let Frieza attack him in hopes that he would leave peacefully, but Vegeta intervened in Super Saiyan 4 and forced Frieza to surrender. 178 180

Forced Service

After Beerus was erased and restored by Indra, Frieza witnessed Beerus seek Indra's direction on how to handle him. To survive, Frieza offered to do anything Indra required. 183 184

Indra tested this obedience by ordering Frieza to line up and purchase three signed books from Tights. Frieza complied without causing trouble, despite being humiliated by the task. 184

When ordered to eliminate Turles without harming Earthlings, Frieza transformed into Golden Frieza and attacked him. His strike killed four Earthlings, leading Indra to erase four fingers from Frieza's right hand as punishment. 185 186

Appearance

Frieza is a tailed alien who commonly travels in a hover pod in his First Form. His external ears were erased by Indra; this feature remained absent even after he transformed, giving his head a round appearance while leaving his hearing intact. 2 40 175

• Usually seen with a long tail, which he uses in combat and to restrain opponents. 2 42
• Uses a compact First Form while seated in a hover pod. 174 175
• His Fourth Form is described as his true appearance. 175
• Golden Frieza is surrounded by golden light and radiates a vastly stronger aura. 178
• His right hand was reduced to a thumb after Indra erased four fingers. 186

Personality

Frieza is arrogant, theatrical, and deeply invested in his identity as the Emperor of the Universe. He responds violently to perceived disrespect, kills subordinates who inconvenience him, and treats weaker opponents with open contempt. 2 22 43

He is also intensely vindictive. His actions against the Saiyans were driven by fear of a Super Saiyan, and his revival immediately reignited his desire for revenge against Goku and Indra. 32 152

Indra is the exception to Frieza's usual behavior. Terrified of being erased, Frieza repeatedly kneels, lies about his intentions, accepts humiliating orders, and abandons revenge plans when survival is at stake. 29 38 39 184 186
