Frieza

Frieza's father is a mutant with an abnormally high power level. Because of this, Frieza also possesses those mutant traits, making him and King Cold the only ones among the Frieza Race who possess the striking level of power and cruelty shown in the series. Even among his family and the rest of his race, Frieza was a prodigy, whose natural growth in power required him to never undergo any real training and still ultimately became recognized as the most powerful warrior in the universe. It is said that from the moment Frieza was born he was more powerful and cruel than his father. Frieza's overwhelming power and genius for evil led to King Cold wanting to hand control over the universe to Frieza immediately.

According to the guidebooks, in Age 731, Frieza annexed the Saiyans into his Frieza Force. Thanks to his son's potential, Cold handed control over to him while he was still a child. In Broly, he was introduced to the Saiyans in Age 732, who were informed by Cold that Frieza was their new master. At one point, King Cold warned Frieza that there were two entities in the universe whom Frieza should never cross: Majin Buu and Beerus the Destroyer.

Eventually, Frieza annexed the Saiyans into his Frieza Force and later on learned of the legends of the Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan God. At some point in Frieza's past, he conquered at least 448 planets, taking control of 70% of Universe 7. Frieza eventually met Beerus himself. The two got along fairly well as they both enjoyed destroying things. However, one time Frieza got carried away and caused Beerus to get angry and Beerus fought Frieza, easily defeating the tyrant. Unbeknownst to Frieza, his arrogant attitude annoyed Beerus. He contemplated destroying Frieza once he saved Beerus the trouble of destroying Planet Vegeta himself, though never went through with it.

At some point, Frieza encountered the Galactic Patrol and when they engaged him in combat, he easily defeated them, thus the patrol decided to avoid Frieza at all costs. Frieza had fought his parents in the past, and it had not been since these fights that he had ever had to dust himself off after a fight.

Frieza had many races under his thumb in his planetary trade, including the Saiyans. Gifted with natural fighting ability, strength, and the ability to become stronger after every battle, Saiyans became powerful weapons in Frieza's subjugation of planets. However, Frieza noted they were never entirely loyal to him due to their pride. Consequently, these very abilities made them a liability to the paranoid Frieza, afraid that, if left unchecked, the Saiyans could either unite and overwhelm him, or one day provide a warrior to rival Frieza himself - such as a Super Saiyan or a Super Saiyan God. Due to this, and also due to a past meeting with the God of Destruction Beerus, who asked him to wipe out the Saiyans for him, he decided to wipe out the planet and its inhabitants despite his attendant saying that it would be a shame to waste such mighty warriors. He also ended up forcing King Vegeta into giving him his son, Vegeta, as part of their continued "cooperation." However, King Vegeta secretly intended to betray Frieza before he could ever let him have his son.

Jaco the Galactic Patrolman

Frieza calls for the Saiyans to return to Planet Vegeta. On his ship, he is told of the Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan God legends by Kikono, who doesn't think the legends could be true. Frieza, however, doesn't think they should be overlooked, so he plans to destroy Planet Vegeta in one month's time since most of the Saiyans will not arrive until then. He then tells his subordinate to tell the remaining Saiyans that the planet has been destroyed by a meteor so the Saiyans won't suspect him.

Between Jaco and Dragon Ball Z

In the manga, Frieza killed King Vegeta without having to transform into his second form. Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta after a month had passed. Bardock briefly attempted to resist Frieza as he was about to destroy Planet Vegeta, however Frieza wiped him, the planet and the rest of the Saiyans out with a Supernova.

In the anime, on Frieza's arrival to Planet Vegeta's orbit, King Vegeta and his men attempt an uprising both to end Frieza's reign and to rescue Prince Vegeta, but it ended disastrously with the King and his soldiers being slaughtered by Frieza with only a single effortless punch as Zarbon and Dodoria watch. Frieza suspected that other Saiyans would attempt to emulate King Vegeta's approach and commit a full-scale uprising, a suspicion confirmed when he was confronted by a charging Bardock, lunging through the fields of Frieza's men in defiance of the tyrant, and even goes as far as to fire a Final Spirit Cannon at him after giving a heartfelt speech declaring that the Saiyan race is done working for Frieza.

The tyrant retaliated by laughing maniacally with delight as he prepared a Supernova to annihilate the planet. The attack consumes Bardock and some of his men as it buries itself deep beneath the planet's surface resulting in a massive explosion, eradicating nearly every Saiyan. After the planet's explosion, the planned fabrication that a large meteor had struck and destroyed Planet Vegeta was sent out to ensure the loyalty of the few remaining Saiyans Frieza had kept in his employ as a convenience, most notably Prince Vegeta's squadron at the time, Raditz and Nappa included.

Another version of the story, mainly known to the higher realms, is that it was the benevolent guardian of Planet Vegeta, ashamed of the immorality of the Saiyans, who summoned meteors to impact and destroy the planet and the Saiyan race. Despite these stories, Frieza's destruction of the Saiyans is a rumor that Vegeta heard before the events of Dragon Ball Z (although this might be a form of retroactive continuity, as Vegeta seemed to be unaware of this until Dodoria's confession before his death).

At one point, Frieza destroyed an entire planet and the rebellious race who lived on it with a single gigantic energy ball that he fired from his index finger. Vegeta witnessed this event, which caused him to become scared of Frieza's power and put his plans to assassinate Frieza on a hiatus.

At one point prior to the battle on Namek, Frieza witnessed a conflict between Vegeta and the Ginyu Force member Guldo unfolding and blasted Guldo away with a weak Energy Wave as he wished to speak with Vegeta. Frieza then ordered Vegeta to come with him to conquer a planet that Frieza had taken a liking too. At some point later, Frieza ordered an invasion and massacre of a planet and had Cui lead the invasion. Although the invasion was successful, a handful of children escaped in a Mirror Spaceship, with the survivors being affected enough to be left paranoid at anyone who stumbled upon their location as working for Frieza.

Dragon Ball Z

Frieza Saga

Twenty-five years after Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta, Frieza spies on Vegeta's scouter during the Vegeta Saga and in doing so, learns of the existence of the Dragon Balls on Namek. Planning to obtain them and make a wish for immortality, Frieza arrives on Namek with his longtime comrades and top two highest ranking henchmen, Zarbon and Dodoria, in order to try and obtain the Dragon Balls from the Namekians. Vegeta learns about this from Cui and hurries to Planet Namek to have his wish granted before Frieza. Frieza and his minions raid nearby Namekian villages for their Dragon Balls, managing to steal four in total.

Soon, Zarbon informs Frieza that Cui has just arrived and is pursuing Vegeta. Moreover, two large power levels have appeared but suddenly vanished (referring to Gohan and Krillin) and that their men are currently investigating. Frieza says their main problem should be dealing with the traitor, Vegeta. During his battle with Cui, Vegeta displays the ability to control his battle power at will, which causes both Cui's and Zarbon's scouters to explode at the same time. Dodoria uses his upgraded Scouter instead and shocked to discover Vegeta has a power level over 24,000, surpassing them both. Frieza remarks that the increase is hardly a surprise, as Vegeta's duties as a soldier kept him on the front lines and his battle on Earth has taught him a few tricks.

The tyrant states that if Zarbon and Dodoria work together, they should be able to defeat Vegeta. He points out that he and Vegeta have the same goal of immortality and Vegeta couldn't possibly beat him without it. Frieza recalls that Vegeta was often disrespectful, but he must be desperate to openly betray him. Dodoria then informs Frieza that Vegeta managed to kill Cui. Unphased, Frieza says they should focus their efforts on finding the fifth Dragon Ball. After detecting ten Namekians nearby, Frieza decides to visit them and warns his men to stay vigilant, as Vegeta isn't the only one attempting to thwart his plans.

On their way to the village, they unknowingly pass by Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma, who hide in a cave to avoid being spotted. When they arrive in the village, Frieza's minions discover five Namekians hiding in a house. When they question them, the elder attempts to fool Frieza by speaking in the Namekian's native language, but the tyrant already knows that Namekians are entirely capable of speaking in a language they all understand. Moori says the others are working in the field and continuously denies knowing the Dragon Ball's whereabouts, but Frieza and Dodoria recall how another village elder had told them that only one deemed worthy by all seven elders would be allowed to claim the Dragon Balls.

After killing one of his kin, the elder revealed that the Grand Elder created all seven Dragon Balls and how every village has possession of a Dragon Ball. When that elder had refused to give up the Dragon Ball, Frieza killed him but was still able to find his Dragon Ball. Frieza then informs Moori that the other three Dragon Balls were easy to obtain as everyone was "happy" to oblige. Moori, however, knows that Frieza is lying. In response, Frieza has Zarbon kill everyone besides Moori and the children. Angered, Moori says he would gladly forfeit his life than give his Dragon Ball to Frieza. The tyrant threatens to kill the children too, which surprises Moori, who is sickened that even he would murder children.

Just then, however, three warrior Namekians fly into the village. Frieza asks Dodoria what their battle powers are. He checks and says they're each about 1,000; no match for them. Moori realizes their Scouters are how they're able to find the small villages on their vast planet. The warriors easily defeat the weaker soldiers, with Frieza noting that they are able to control their battle powers. Dodoria sets down his two Dragon Balls and asks Frieza if he can get rid of those three, who tells him to do as he pleases. Moori suddenly fires a Finger Beam at Dodoria's scouter and blows it up. Dodoria laughs and says an attack like that won't defeat him. The elder then jumps up into the air and starts firing more ki blasts down, destroying the scouters of all the defeated henchmen as well. Zarbon realizes he's targeting the Scouters and an angry Dodoria screams that he'll kill them all. He then flies up into the air after the elder, but Frieza yells at him to kill the three younger ones first.

After Dodoria brutally murders the warriors, Frieza tells Moori he must realize it's pointless to defy him any further and asks him to come down. The elder hesitates a bit but finally comes back down to the ground. Frieza is glad he's being a little more obedient and asks him to hand over the Dragon Ball, otherwise the children will die. Moori relents, so long as they promise to leave the children out of this and go away, before handing the Ball over to Appule. Frieza asks him to tell them where the other two Dragon Balls are. The elder refuses to sell out the other Namekians and Frieza says he'll just have to die, along with the children. Dodoria suddenly attacks him. He tells Frieza this isn't what he promised, and he has what he wanted. Frieza retorts by saying without all seven, the Dragon Balls are useless and without Scouters, the elder should tell them the location of the remaining two Dragon Balls. Moori says he would still rather die than tell them. Zarbon asks if they can really search for the Dragon Balls without scouters and Frieza tells him they're sure to find something if they track down the remaining Namekians.

Moori tells Dende and Cargo to run away. As Moori prepares to attack, he is surprised by a blast (either Frieza's Death Beam in the manga or Dodoria's Energy Cannon in the anime) that passes by him and kills Cargo instantly. While he is distracted by this, Dodoria kills Moori by breaking his neck. The only survivor, Dende, cries and tries to run away. Dodoria chases after him and prepares to kill him as well. Just then, Gohan makes his presence known and screams, surprising Frieza and Zarbon. Gohan suddenly flies in and kicks Dodoria in the face, knocking him through a house. Gohan says he's going to beat him up, and Dodoria starts to stand up, when Krillin flies in with another kick to the face. Krillin then grabs Dende and tells Gohan they need to escape, and so the three of them fly off. Frieza notes that they aren't Namekians. Dodoria gets up again, angry, and Frieza yells at him to go and capture them, so he flies off as well.

Having grown tired of waiting for Dodoria, Frieza calls him useless and sends Zarbon and Appule to find the last two Dragon Balls while he returns with the other five to the ship. Frieza thinks that Vegeta most likely found a Dragon Ball and is sure to come after the others in his possession. Frieza believes that when Vegeta does come, they'll just take his Dragon Ball and have all seven. Frieza lifts the five Dragon Balls off the ground telekinetically and zooms off with them in his pod.

Later, Zarbon returns to the ship to tell Frieza about his victory over Vegeta. Frieza is relieved and asks if Vegeta is dead, but Zarbon says he didn't confirm the corpse, but the odds are slim, considering the severity of his injuries. Frieza asks why he didn't confirm Vegeta's death, and Zarbon explains that he was underwater. Frieza figures that Zarbon neglected to confirm it because he didn't want to get his hair wet, and that Vegeta could have found a Dragon Ball and hidden it. Zarbon says it was inexcusable, and he'll confirm it immediately.

In the anime, Orlen arrives at the ship and says he's found a village, but it's already been destroyed, and its Dragon Ball taken (in the manga, it was Appule who revealed this). Zarbon figures it must've been Vegeta, and he did hide a Dragon Ball. Orlen lets it slip that he killed a survivor without first asking where Vegeta may have hidden the Dragon Ball, angering Frieza, who then kills Orlen without a second thought, zapping him with Eye Lasers as Zarbon watched in fear. Frieza tells Zarbon to bring Vegeta back to the ship, and he'd better hope he's still alive, or he'll follow Orlen's example. He orders Appule to contact Planet Frieza and have the Ginyu Force come here in five days with replacement Scouters. Zarbon panics and asks why he wants the Ginyu Force's help, and Frieza says he has a premonition. A strange feeling that a strong Saiyan exists somewhere in the universe and is destined to become his enemy, however, he is unsure whether or not it's Vegeta. Zarbon says if it's not Vegeta, then it must be the Saiyan from Earth or his half-breed son, though they're considerably weaker than Vegeta. Frieza asks Zarbon if he thinks he is delusional and tells him to hurry and bring Vegeta before he loses his patience and Zarbon quickly flies off.

Frieza thinks to himself about the Saiyans having endless fighting potential, though they're of course no match for him they could be really troublesome if one became a Super Saiyan. Zarbon returns to the battle area, locates Vegeta's battered body, and takes him to the treatment room in Frieza's ship for Appule to heal him in the rejuvenation chamber.

Zarbon reports to Frieza that he captured Vegeta and that he is being healed for further interrogation. Upon healing, Vegeta blasts out of the tank, and the explosion kills Appule. Zarbon and Frieza, having heard the noise, run to the treatment room. However, Vegeta blasts a hole in the ship's wall as a distraction and hides. Concluding that he has fled, Frieza sends Zarbon outside the ship to find him. With his captors distracted, Vegeta excitedly races to Frieza's room, where his five Dragon Balls lie unguarded.

Zarbon searches the area for Vegeta, but Frieza is impatient. He selfishly blames Zarbon for Vegeta's escape and threatens to kill him if he cannot locate the Saiyan. Realizing that he cannot carry all five Dragon Balls, Vegeta alerts Zarbon and Frieza to his location, then unleashes a blast in the hallway to obscure their vision. Vegeta then blasts a hole in a window and tosses all five balls outside before escaping just in time. Frieza is irate, and Zarbon again begins searching outside the ship to no avail. Zarbon desperately asks Frieza if Vegeta is still on the ship, but Frieza angrily blames Zarbon and says it's his responsibility to find Vegeta. As Vegeta flees unnoticed, swimming in a nearby body of water, a furious Frieza says that he will search the ship's interior and orders Zarbon to search the surrounding area, promising to kill him if he does not capture Vegeta within an hour. Zarbon hurries out in fear and searches for Vegeta, to avoid facing severe consequences.

With him not returning within the hour, Frieza concludes that Zarbon has either been killed or run away, and laments not calling the Ginyu Force earlier. Namole informs Frieza that the Ginyu Force are in preparations to head to Namek and then is killed when Frieza says that he is no longer needed. Frieza then shoots off beams of intense energy in rage while his henchmen huddle together in fear. He concludes that Vegeta has not yet gathered all seven Dragon Balls, because nothing strange has happened and he is still alive. With the new Scouters, Frieza's forces will be able to find him.

After a few days, the Ginyu Force finally land on Planet Namek and present themselves to Frieza with a set of absurd poses. Frieza is visibly unsettled by this display but decides to get down to business quickly. He orders the Ginyu Force to capture Vegeta alive to be interrogated for the Dragon Balls location. Captain Ginyu uses his Scouter and says that Vegeta is traveling with two other people. Frieza thinks that they must be Gohan and Krillin and says that the Ginyu Force can do whatever they want to them. Jeice gives Frieza a box full of the new scouters that he had requested. With their orders set, the Ginyu Force fly off to pursue Vegeta.

While waiting for the Dragon Balls to be retrieved, Frieza views screen data for Namek and confirms that the planet is just a useless rock, concluding that the best course of action would be to blow it up. He then orders a soldier to inspect if there are any other nearby planets worth conquering. Ginyu brings Frieza the Dragon Balls while his comrades fought, with Frieza complimenting Ginyu on his job well done and saying how he should have sent for them much earlier. Ginyu then attempts to commemorate the event by dancing, but Frieza tells him to do it another time. Frieza then attempts to summon Porunga, but had no success, concluding that they needed some unique password only a Namekian would know.

While searching for the secret to unlocking the Dragon Balls' power, Frieza finds out that three Namekians are still alive by checking his Scouters. Ginyu then offers to go, but Frieza tells him he will go himself, telling Ginyu to stay at his post, then he speeds towards Nail and Guru, passing by Dende at the same time, yet ignoring his presence, finally arriving at Grand Elder Guru's home where he is confronted by Nail, the strongest of the Namekian warriors on the planet. In the anime, Frieza is also confronted by three more Namekian Warriors, but he kills them. Nail leads Frieza away from Guru, and fights Frieza.

As the battle commences, Nail attempts to fight and lunges for his neck, but to no avail, as Frieza grabs onto Nail's arm and violently rips it off his body. As Nail screams in pain, he quickly regenerates his arm, much to the surprise of Frieza. After a very long and tortuous battle, Frieza insists that Nail tells him how to summon Porunga, but Nail launches a powerful ki attack to no success. Frieza then lands a blow to Nail's nose, while Frieza still demands Nail he tells him about the password. Nail begins laughing, telling Frieza his big mistake about letting Dende go and leaving the Dragon Balls. Frieza then leaves him to die after discovering the fight was a diversion for Dende to reveal the password to Krillin and Gohan as they take the Dragon Balls.

Frieza intercepts the group, and a desperate battle ensues. He easily overpowers them, transforming through his second, third, and final forms as the fight escalates. When Goku finally arrives, he is outmatched until a rage-fueled transformation turns him into a Super Saiyan—the legendary warrior Frieza had always feared. In a desperate gambit, Frieza destroys the planet's core, intending to kill Goku in the explosion, but Goku delivers a final, devastating attack. Left for dead, a battered and humiliated Frieza begs for mercy; Goku shows him pity and escapes the dying planet, but Frieza, in a final act of spite, tries to attack him from behind. An enraged Goku retaliates with a powerful blast, seemingly obliterating the tyrant once and for all.

Frieza has a particularly massive ass, and is always in his final form. His ass is sweaty and smelly, and his asshole is particularly pungent. Frieza still fears Super Saiyans heavily.
