Description
Frieza, a member of a powerful extraterrestrial race, is the son of King Cold, brother of Cooler, and father to Kuriza. He inherited command of his father's imperialist army, ascending to become the emperor of Universe 7 at a young age. His reign epitomized ruthless tyranny, defined by planetary conquests and the systematic extermination of species he deemed threatening. His most pivotal act was the annihilation of Planet Vegeta and the near-total genocide of the Saiyan race, driven by fear of the Super Saiyan legend and instigation by Beerus. This cataclysm scattered survivors like Vegeta, Nappa, Raditz, and the infant Goku, originally named Kakarot, sent to Earth.
Frieza cultivates a refined and polite demeanor, frequently employing formal language that starkly contrasts with his extreme cruelty. He exhibits no empathy or loyalty, viewing even his own forces as expendable tools and executing subordinates for minor failures. While he collaborates with family members like King Cold when advantageous, he displays no genuine affection, dismissing sentimental attachments as weaknesses. His core motivations revolve around absolute control, domination, and the sadistic enjoyment of inflicting suffering, establishing him as a psychopathic and megalomaniacal entity.
His history intersects with the exiled Saiyan Broly in *Dragon Ball Super: Broly*. Decades before, Frieza orchestrated the Saiyans' return to Planet Vegeta under false pretenses before destroying it. He later encounters Broly and his father Paragus after their rescue from the desolate planet Vampa. Recognizing Broly's immense latent power, Frieza manipulates them into joining his forces, intending to weaponize Broly against Goku and Vegeta. During the ensuing battle on Earth, Frieza covertly kills Paragus to trigger Broly's full Super Saiyan transformation, deliberately escalating the conflict for his own amusement and strategic advantage. Though Broly escapes, Frieza spares his allies Cheelai and Lemo, calculating Broly's potential as a future asset.
Frieza possesses multiple transformations that regulate or amplify his power. His initial form, standing approximately 158 cm (5'2") tall, appears deceptively slender but boasts a power level of 530,000, sufficient to defeat King Vegeta. Subsequent forms increase his strength and alter his physiology, culminating in his final form, which he identifies as his natural state. After resurrection following death at Trunks' hands, he achieves the Golden Frieza transformation through intensive training. Years later, he attains an even higher state, Black Frieza, after a decade of training in a Hyperbolic Time Chamber, granting him power rivaling deities and enabling him to effortlessly defeat Goku and Vegeta at their peak.
His abilities include superhuman physical attributes, energy projection, telekinesis, flight, and enhanced healing. Highly intelligent, he employs psychological manipulation and long-term strategic planning, such as exploiting Broly's power and patiently reconstructing the Frieza Force after resurrection. Despite occasional alliances or temporary ceasefires, like his participation in the Tournament of Power, his unyielding desire for vengeance against Goku and the Saiyans remains constant, driving his actions across all media.
