King Cold

Frieza is the powerful evil emperor of the dragon ball universe who has taken over and destroyed millions of planets and the ruler of Planet Frieza and the archenemy of Goku and Vegeta for destroying their home planet called Planet Vegeta and killing their fathers.

Frieza is also responsible for billions of deaths of countless races who dated to oppose him and even his own henchmen should they fail him. Frieza has a very strong hatred for Sayians, Namekians, and Earthlings.

Frieza was given the title from his father King Cold.

Frieza is also one of the most powerful members of the Universal Villains and is one of its leaders.

## Powers and Abilities

Frieza is one of the most powerful warriors in Universe 7 and the multiverse as a whole. He was born a mutant with abnormally great power in comparison to the rest of his race. Even though the rest of his family are strong, Frieza has always been in a completely different league. The intensity of Frieza's power, even at his weakest, can effortlessly destroy entire planets. Upon hearing that Frieza was defeated, the God of Destruction Beerus was shocked that this was possible (by anyone besides himself). He is also recognized as a prodigy of such innate talent and natural growth that he became known as the most powerful warrior in the universe with no real training or proper fighting style. Even more, his genetics and raw ability lets him grow considerably in strength and efficiency in a far shorter period than any known mortal. After training for the first time in his life, only four months, he shattered his previous limitations and quickly adjusted to his newfound power, reaching might on the level of gods, a feat all the more impressive considering he did so with virtually no help.

In his First Form, Frieza killed King Vegeta, the strongest Saiyan at the time, with a single blow. Likewise, he destroyed Planet Vegeta and the entire Saiyan race with an effortless blast. On Planet Namek, he fatally pummeled Nail with a single hand, unfazed by all attacks he let the latter land on him. Once at his maximum power of 530,000, First Form Frieza was able to fend off the combined efforts of Vegeta, Gohan and Krillin despite their considerable growth in respective power, although he did acknowledge that Vegeta in particular became an actual challenge for his his first form. In his Second Form, starting out with a power of over 1,000,000, Frieza calmly handled the trio with little effort. Only against Piccolo (recently trained by King Kai and merged with Nail) did Frieza fight seriously, where he demonstrated still being able to amplify his power level further. Once outmatched by Piccolo's full power, Frieza used his Third Form, quickly dominating Piccolo with a torturous onslaught and managed to repel Gohan's massive rage-charged blast with only minor effort. Frieza claims he could easily kill Krillin, Gohan, Vegeta, and Piccolo in his Third Form, but transforms into his Final Form to fill them with fear.

In his Final Form, Frieza's suppressed power of a mere 1% was noted to be much greater than any of his previous form and proved more than a match for the fighters. The Earth warriors failed to see his calm movements. Even after Vegeta received a massive Saiyan Power boost, Frieza required only a slight increase of effort to torture and kill Vegeta. Frieza met his first true challenge in Goku and fought on par with him despite his tremendous Saiyan Power increase. Once utilizing 50% of his full power, Frieza quickly dominated Goku, even overpowering his Kaio-ken x10, noting that even a third of his full power would easily handle Goku. Against Goku's Kaio-ken x20 assault, 50% was enough to disperse Goku's Kamehameha with a single hand, only sustaining minor burns. Frieza survived a Large Spirit Bomb, though it damaged his left eye and severed part of his tail. Once Goku obtained Super Saiyan, Frieza utilizes 100%, holding his own for a while against Goku, landing some blows, but he is ultimately outclassed.

One year after his defeat on Namek, he was restored with cybernetic parts that made him much stronger than before and Frieza is certain he could defeat Super Saiyan Goku. In the anime, King Kai notes that Frieza's Supernova is ten times stronger than the Death Ball he used to destroy Namek. Still, he was easily killed by Super Saiyan Future Trunks.

In *Dragon Ball Super*, after being revived and organically reconstituted, Frieza trains for four months, unlocking much of his latent potential. His power increased dramatically, as Gohan openly felt that his highest level of power could not defeat First Form Frieza. Frieza easily defeated Super Saiyan Gohan and killed Piccolo with a single shot. Merely powering-up into Final Form disintegrated nearly all his 1,000 soldiers. In this form, Frieza is strong enough to fight on par with Goku (who had reached the level of gods). Krillin and Gohan note that they could not see either Goku or Frieza's movements (while they had previously seen Super Saiyan God Goku and suppressed Beerus' movements). Against Goku's Super Saiyan Blue, Frieza transforms into Golden Frieza and although the two initially seem on par with each other, Frieza soon proves to be stronger. At full power, Frieza says he could probably kill Super Saiyan Blue Goku in an instant if he was serious. However, Frieza tires rapidly, having not adjusted to his new form, until eventually his blows become ineffective. Upon returning to his normal form, despite his exhaustion, Frieza instantly destroyed the Earth.

In the Universe Survival Saga, despite being immobilized for over a year since entering hell, Frieza continued to grow in strength and skill through constant image training. The led to such refined control of his *ki*, letting him use his Golden form for extended periods of time with virtually no strain. In the anime, this growth let him remain unaffected by the Energy of Destruction and ultimately take control of it. At this point, Roh noted that Frieza was more of a God of Destruction than Sidra and doubted that the latter could destroy Frieza. Later, Golden Frieza and Super Saiyan Blue Goku were both knocked out with a simultaneously blow to each other, with Whis noting that the two were equal in power, although Frieza remained in his heightened form. In the manga, Goku and Frieza battle each other ending with both equally beaten up. Based on this fight, Goku is unsure of who would win between Vegeta and Frieza. However, Frieza acknowledges that he is still weaker than Beerus.

During the Tournament of Power, Final Form Frieza eliminated several fighters. In the anime, Frieza easily defeated the likes of Catopesra, Napapa, Murichim (Universe 10's presumed ace fighter) and Jimizu, as well as causing Roselle to purposefully ring out to avoid Frieza's torture and eliminating Frost in his 100% Power form with a single *ki* blast, although Frost had his guard down. In an attempt to defeat Frieza, Cabba turned Super Saiyan 2 and attacked with a Galick Cannon; however, it was revealed Frieza had taken no damage and had transformed into Golden Frieza. At this point, Cabba was no match for the tyrant and knocked him out of the arena with a *ki* blast.

When Goku began struggling against the team assault of Super Saiyan 2 Caulifla and Super Saiyan 2 Kale, despite their combined massive might and perfectly synchronized combos, Frieza saw them simply as entertainment, and when Super Saiyan 2 Caulifla prepared a Crush Cannon to fire at Frieza, Frieza opted to stay in his final form and prepared a Death Ball to clash with Caulifla - however, Goku insisted to finish the fight himself.

Against Agnilasa, the combined machine went after Frieza over Super Saiyan God Goku due to believing him to be weaker. Together with the remaining members of Team Universe 7, Frieza engaged in a beam struggle with Agnilasa as Golden Frieza but still were almost overwhelmed. It was only when Android 17 damaged Agnilasa's energy reactor that Frieza and his teammates were able to knock Agnilasa out of the arena.

In the manga, Final Form Frieza easily caught Lavender and Basil off guard to eliminate them. Frieza overwhelms base Caulifla and despite becoming a Super Saiyan, Frieza overpowers her by simply hurling stone slabs at her. After Caulifla catches Frieza off-guard, the tyrant uses his Golden form and easily makes sport of her, even with help from base Kale and Super Saiyan Cabba. When Kale transforms into a Legendary Super Saiyan, Frieza lets his guard down and is beaten down senselessly - believing it is an ordinary Super Saiyan form which he can easily handle. However despite this he insists to Goku that he would be more than enough to handle Kale once he got serious.

In the anime, Frieza was able to match Dyspo in combat and keep up with his speed. Once he transformed into Golden Frieza, Frieza was able to easily overpower Dyspo, with Khai noting that Frieza is faster than Dyspo. However, once Dyspo activated his Super Maximum Light Speed Mode, his speed is formidable enough that he pushes Frieza to the edge of the stage. However, after working with Gohan, the two are able to find a way to eliminate him.

While Top is in a beam struggle with Android 17, Frieza sneaks behind him and attacks him with a barrage of Death Beams. The Death Beams injure Top, however, once Top assumes his Destroyer Form, Frieza is pummeled and barely saved from elimination thanks to Android 17's quick thinking. Frieza recovers quickly and manages to briefly paralyze Top with his psychic powers and proceeds to use a number of different attacks, yet unfortunately, they are ineffective, and Top proceeds to break free from the paralysis. Frieza is then hit by an attack from Jiren, yet he remained conscious and later attacked the mighty Pride Trooper but even after becoming Golden Frieza, he was easily defeated by Jiren.

After Jiren is weakened from fighting Perfected Ultra Instinct Goku, the exhausted Golden Frieza was able to initially fight evenly with the foe and gained an advantage using his psychic powers. Jiren however, gets a second wind thanks to Top and soon turns the tables of the fight. Working alongside Goku, he and Frieza showed remarkable synergy together, able to fight on par with Jiren. With the additional help from Android 17, the archenemies were able to push Jiren on the defensive, ultimately allowing Goku and Frieza's finisher to eliminate the foe by dragging him down with them.

In the manga, Frieza was able to easily overwhelm the exhausted Top. After Jiren powered up and easily defeated Vegeta's evolved Super Saiyan Blue, Golden Frieza was confident that even without using his full power he could buy enough time against Jiren to win, and Beerus considered it possible he could turn things around. However, in the end he proved to be outmatched and required Android 17's assistance.

In the Granolah the Survivor Saga, Frieza has trained for 10 years and thus become much stronger than before. As Black Frieza, he is able to easily kill the powered up Gas in one blow. Against Ultra Ego Vegeta and True Ultra Instinct Goku, Black Frieza effortlessly defeated both of them by punching the duo in their abdomens before either of them could react. Goku later asked Whis if the Oracle Fish's prophecy of the strongest warrior in the universe was in reference to Frieza, to which Whis replied that it may be, additionally the title of the chapter referred to Frieza as the universe's strongest.

In the Super 17 Saga of *Dragon Ball GT*, Frieza and Cell are stated to have powered up after training in Hell for many years, and confidently challenge Goku, even after having witnessed him fight an opponent such as Kid Buu. It should also be noted that he and Cell were tasked with dealing with Goku, implying they are more powerful than the villains up to that point who occupied Hell who instead went to Earth, including foes like General Rilldo. Ultimately however, Goku is able to outmaneuver them with his child form's base power.

Super Dragon Ball Heroes
In the anime, Golden Frieza is able to push Goku into taking on his Ultra Instinct Sign form, however once Goku takes on this form Frieza is no match and is quickly knocked down, albeit with only superficial damage.

Films
In the *Dragon Ball: Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans* OVAs, Ghost Frieza is able to put a fight against Super Saiyan Future Trunks and Super Saiyan Vegeta, thanks to the power boost he got from Dr. Raichi. In *Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn*, Final Form Frieza appears as the leader of the villains who have escaped Hell; however, base form Gohan defeated Frieza in one blow.

In *Dragon Ball Z: The Real 4-D*, his power level is greatly augmented to 5,300,000,000 in his true form. He was able to dominate base form Goku, and when he transformed into a Super Saiyan, Frieza, still in his final form easily overwhelmed Goku without a scratch, leaving him barely able to move following their Kamehameha vs. Death Ball clash. When Super Saiyan Vegeta, Piccolo, and Krillin joined the battle, he was able to easily blast them away, only to be killed when Goku created a massive Spirit Bomb.

— Goku amazed by Frieza's power when entering his fourth form on Earth

In *Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’*, upon being revived and regenerated into his fully organic first form, Frieza notes that his power is rusty due to years trapped in Earth's Hell. He also speculated that four months of training could have him reach a power level of 1.3 million, although it was unclear whether that was referring to his overall power level or specifically to the power level in his First Form. After his training, his power easily surpasses the Z-Fighters in his first form and was able to place Gohan into a near-death state with a single blow. Once unleashing the full power of his true form, he was capable of fighting Goku in his Saiyan beyond God state, but is inevitably outclassed.

As Golden Frieza, the tyrant outclasses both Goku and Vegeta in their Super Saiyan Blue forms, even using his full power, being so strong that one of his suppressed attacks was able to knock Goku back without actually hitting him. Even after Golden Frieza's power and stamina dropped dramatically, due to not having adjusted to his new form, he still fought on par with Goku - though Goku could now damage him - until finally Frieza's power dropped enough that he unfazed Goku even with a direct energy punch to the face. After Frieza regresses to his Final Form, he still retained enough power to near-instantly destroy Earth. Even more, as revealed by Whis, Frieza was able to survive the explosion.

In *Dragon Ball Super: Broly*, Frieza has grown more powerful. Vegeta even feared that Frieza may train and come back one day with a power stronger than his golden state. Against Super Saiyan Broly, in his final form, Frieza was beaten instantly. Frieza was confident in fighting Super Saiyan Broly as Golden Frieza and his resulting transformation forced Broly backwards. However, Golden Frieza's power was still inferior to Broly's newly gained power, while he was on the losing side the whole fight, in the novel it was stated that the punches that Frieza landed were able to stagger Broly, and full power blows were able to force Broly to dodge. Frieza managed to survive Broly's wrath for an entire hour.

Statements by authors and guidebooks
It is said that from the moment he was born, Frieza was already more powerful than King Cold.

In his true form on Namek, Frieza has a power level of 120,000,000 at 100% of full power according to *Daizenshuu 7* and several video games. *The World of Dragon Ball Z* states that Goku and Frieza were equal but the power output of 100% drained Frieza rapidly, which lead to his defeat. The movie pamphlet for *Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might* states that Frieza has a power level of 85,000 in his first form. *Daizenshuu 2* states that Frieza's dormant power in his final form is "immeasurable". At the same time, Akira Toriyama stated in *Dragon Ball Volume ‘F’* that even Frieza is no match for Beerus, no matter what he does. The website for *Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’* states that after his training Frieza is "infinitely stronger" than he was on Namek.

An advertisement for *Dragon Ball Z: The Real 4-D* has Frieza state that his power level in *The Real 4-D* is 5,300,000,000.

The January 2017 *V-Jump* article on the rivals appearing in *Dragon Ball Super* noted that Golden Frieza's strength surpasses Super Saiyan Blue, it also ranks Golden Frieza as an 8/12 on the danger scale.

Prior to Goku achieving Ultra Instinct Sign, Frieza and Goku were tied for the No. 1 spot on Team Universe 7 in terms of power.

By the time of *Dragon Ball Super: Broly*, Frieza has grown in power in his quest to reach the top - but is still not as strong as Beerus.

Video Games
*Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3* describes 100% Power Frieza and Super Saiyan Goku as being equal in speed and strength during their final battle on Namek.

In the *Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans*, Ghost Frieza and Ghost Cooler together are able to hold their own against the Z Fighters but are ultimately defeated. When Ghost Frieza is later fought again on Planet Kuhn, he has further powered-up into Psycho Frieza and is able to hold his own against the entire Z Fighter team at their strongest, but is still defeated in the end.

In the story of *Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai*, (which takes place two years after Buu's defeat) Frieza is able to tire out Super Saiyan Gohan using his Fourth Form only in his base power, Piccolo and Gohan also reference him as being more powerful than Super Buu. Frieza at full power defeats Legendary Super Saiyan Broly behind the scenes (Legendary Super Saiyan Broly was later shown to give Super Saiyan 3 Goku trouble, meaning that at full power Frieza had seemingly equalled Super Saiyan 3 Goku in power), and is shown to be stronger than Super Gotenks (with Pikkon also referencing him to be stronger than Cooler, Cell, and the aforementioned Broly). Later on in the story, Frieza absorbs large quantities of evil energy, making him far stronger than anyone else on the planet. He uses his evil energy in order to vastly power himself up, giving himself unlimited energy; when this happens, he briefly reclaims his title of strongest in the universe until he loses power due to a large excess of positive energy built up by Krillin and Android 18.

In *Dragon Ball Xenoverse*, during the Frieza Saga, Frieza is given a dark power up by the Time Breakers. At 100% power in Fourth Form, he is strong enough to fight both the Future Warrior and Super Saiyan Goku at the same time, and even then, in the end Super Saiyan Goku needs to utilize a second Spirit Bomb during their battle. When Frieza returns possessed by Demon God Demigra (four years after the battle with Buu), he - together with the powered-up Cell and Buu - are able to briefly hold their own against the Future Warrior and Goku (who possesses unmastered god power), however they are beaten.

In Xenoverse 2, during the Resurrection 'F' Saga, Elder Kai tells Xeno Trunks that he'll be sorry if he thinks that he can defeat him again with a single swing of a blade. Later 1st Form Frieza is powered up by Towa's dark magic and can take on the 2nd Future Warrior. He powers up into his Golden Form. With the sudden appearance of Meta Cooler, together, they were able to hold their own against Goku, Vegeta (both of whom were in their Super Saiyan Blue forms), and the 2nd Future Warrior simultaneously. In their rematch after the Future Warrior stops Frieza from blowing up the Earth, Golden Frieza, and Meta Cooler further power-up into their Supervillain forms and combat them a second time. However, the two brothers were defeated again (this time for good).

Golden Frieza is said to have unmatched power in promo material for *Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission 2*. In the opening for *Ultimate Mission 5*, Golden Frieza is shown deflecting a *ki* blast from Jiren.

In *Dragon Ball FighterZ*, Frieza's power hasn't improved much from his last resurrection. With his power (along with everyone else's) being suppressed by Dr. Gero's suppression waves while still capable of handling the likes of Cell and competing against Goku and Vegeta, Frieza however on his own was slaughtered by Android 21.

* Equipment

*Main article: List of techniques used by Frieza*

Death Beam
*Main article: Death Beam*

The Death Beam is Frieza's signature and most heavily used technique. It can either pierce through targets or create a huge city-sized explosion upon impact. To perform the technique, the user extends his arm and fires a small, thin, very fast and concentrated laser-like beam of ki from his index finger. The user is able to fire the attack very quickly and in rapid fire, while maintaining precise aim. The technique has a faster but weaker variant, and a larger and more powerful rapid fire variant. After perfecting *ki* control, Frieza developed the ability to fire multiple beams from each finger at once. He can also guide them to strike multiple targets even after each one hitting the first target.

Death Ball
*Main article: Death Ball*

The Death Ball is Frieza's ultimate attack and is usually used as a last resort in battle or as a planet destroying method. The technique is normally a ball of energy charged on the finger and then thrown at the target, though after his revival Frieza displays a more powerful version charged with his whole hand.

Death Cannon
*Main article: Death Cannon*

The Death Cannon is Frieza's primary Full Power Energy Wave technique. It is a high powered blast of energy and has different variants depending on the form Frieza is utilizing. A version of it that uses up most of Frieza's energy is a last resort technique of the tyrant.

Psychokinesis
*Main article: Telekinesis*Frieza possess powerful psychic abilities, primarily using telekinesis to utilize objects to attack foes. By combining his high-class psychic abilities with his tremendous energy he is able to utilize the Imprisonment Ball.

Nova Strike
*Main article: Nova Strike*An attack where Frieza wraps himself in energy and flies straight at his foe to tackle them. Used against Goku on Namek, and also to eliminate Jiren during the Tournament of Power.

Death Saucer
*Main article: Death Saucer*

After witnessing Krillin's Destructo Disc, Frieza quickly created his own upgraded version named the Death Saucer. This technique is the same as the Destructo Disc, however it is much faster and it homes in on its target, following them even if it initially misses. Frieza can also manually control the Death Saucers.

## Appearances in other media

### *Dragon Ball GT* (1997 live show)

*Main article: Dragon Ball GT (1997 live show)*Frieza and Cell (with new forms) appear as the final villains of the live *GT* show, Frieza easily defeats Trunks as Cell watches on. However the two are actually looking for Goku, so Pan and Trunks trick them into thinking Goku is coming so that they can flee. Frieza and Cell then resume their search for Goku.

### *Kyutai Panic Adventure!*

*Main article: Kyutai Panic Adventure!*

Frieza appears when the tourists reach the Fuji TV orb section. He blasts the orb and throws it into the ocean. Goku, Krillin, and Gohan appear and lift the orb but Frieza attempts to destroy it with a Death Beam. Goku blocks the attack and then transforms into a Super Saiyan to battle Max Power Frieza.

### Kochikame

Frieza makes some appearances in other mangas that are made for special events, like a special chapter made for the 30th anniversary of *KochiKame*. Frieza is waiting with Appule on Namek for the three other Dragon Balls to be found, when Kankichi Ryotsu comes and says that Frieza cannot park his spaceship there. Frieza uses a Death Beam to kill Kankichi but, to their surprise, he is still alive. Kankichi yells that they have to pay the fine and Frieza attacks with an energy wave, which also fails to hurt Kankichi. When Kankichi Ryotsu pulls a Rocket Launcher out of the air, Appule says that there is no doubt and that Kankichi Ryotsu is a gag manga character. Frieza says he does not care because he is the strongest being in the universe and he fires blasts at Kankichi until he is tired. When even this fails Kankichi Ryutsu, Frieza leaves in his spaceship with Appule, and says that nothing happened.

In *J-Stars Victory Vs*, a special intro occurs between them that references this moment, where Frieza immediately recognizes Kankichi and will not him off easy. Kankichi himself on the other hand rebukes the emperor and merely brings back up the topic of Frieza still needing to pay the fine (and owing Kankichi sushi).

### Other

Frieza has made numerous appearances in other media. He has appeared in Japanese commercials, notably for the video game *Super Gokuden: Kakusei-Hen*.

On March 25, 2006, on Fuji TV, Frieza and Goku appeared in the segment IQ Mirror Mistake 7 (ＩＱミラーまちがい７, *Aikyuu Miraa Machigai Nana*) in the game show *IQ Supplement* (ＩＱサプリ). In this segment, 7 mistakes can be found throughout a short animation made specifically for the show. In the scene, Frieza has gathered all seven Dragon Balls and is about to summon forth the Namekian dragon, when Goku suddenly appears. Goku vows to stop him, but Frieza has other plans. Frieza rapidly transforms to his final form, while Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan. The two fly across the face of Namek, exchanging blows with neither backing down. Frieza prepares and fires a "Destroy The Planet!" Death Ball at Goku, but the Saiyan counters it with a Super Kamehameha. The two waves collide, but the Super Kamehameha is too much for Frieza to handle. On April 7, 2007, IQ Mirror Mistake 7 was re-aired during Fuji TV's historical special *Nippon Ijin Taishō · Saikyō no Ijin wa Dare?* (日本偉人大賞・最強の偉人は誰？; lit. "Japan's Great Awards - Who is the Strongest Hero?"), which also featured a special segment in which Goku and the World Tournament Announcer appear. IQ Mirror Mistake 7 was also shown by Ryūsei Nakao (Frieza's Japanese voice) at Animazement 2008.

The Japanese nu metal/punk band Maximum the Hormone released 「F」 as part of an A-side of a music single on July 9, 2008. The entirety of the song references Frieza and his character's arc, with the single itself rising as high as number two on the Oricon music chart. Akira Toriyama later credited the song for inspiring both the concept and title of the film *Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’*. As a result, the song was featured in both a promotional trailer and in the film itself as an insert song.

A commercial for "Kirin Mets Grape Frieza" depicts Frieza entering his various transformation states barring his Ultimate Evolution state.

In the manga *Black Cat*, the character Sven Vollfied is often seen using his cell phone. At the top of the phone's wrist strap is a miniature-sized badge of Frieza's head. A caricature of Frieza mixed with grays was parodied as a mech pilot in an episode of *Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi*. The anime *Yakitate!! Japan* featured a spoof re-enactment of the fight between Goku and Frieza, with a character clad in a refrigerator representing the latter. *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable* features a "Stand" character named "Red Hot Chili Pepper", whose design is confirmed by author Hirohiko Araki to be based on Frieza's final form. The Cartoon Network staple *Codename: Kids Next Door* had a parody of their own of the climactic fight and the Frieza character, with the Delightful Children From Down the Lane portraying him as a multi-headed monstrosity.

## Reception

* His voice as done by Linda Young in the English Funimation dub has been criticized; with that and various features in his character design like his dark colored lips, this has led to some gender confusion with new fans.
* Frieza was mentioned as one of the "most beloved characters" in an article by GamePro. Also on pages D1 and D3 of The Ledger's December 8, 1999 paper, he is one of the reasons that DBZ was listed as a violent show for children back then stating, "In one recent episode, beads of sweat form on the brow of a character named Vegeta, as he is nearly strangled to death by an evil foe named Frieza. In another, Frieza uses the horns on his head to impale a good guy named Krillin through the chest." As well as opinions on his appearance: "Little Gohan is abruptly in the icy metallic grip of one of his arch-nemeses, Frieza, a silvery androgynous giant who looks like a cross between the monster in *Alien* and *Batman's* Mr. Freeze."
* Additionally, Frieza is on the "Top Ten Anime Villains" of all time by watchmojo.com and is ranked as #1 on the list.
* He was also in a "List of the Top 11 Anime Villains" made by That Dude in The Suede (an affiliate of That Guy with the Glasses) in which Frieza is ranked #6.
* A Spanish thrash metal band named Crisix has made a song called "Frieza The Tyrant", from the album *Rise...Then Rest*. The song is an homage to "the most evil villain in Dragon Ball", as described by the band, and lyrics are about the darkness of Frieza's nature and the end of his empire. The song's introduction is a remix of "Genkidama", from Dragon Ball Z's Japanese original soundtrack.
* A Japanese nu metal band named Maximum the Hormone even dedicated a song to Frieza, titled "F". The titular reference to Frieza's name as simply "F" would later inspire Akira Toriyama in his choice to title the upcoming 2015 movie involving Frieza's resurrection, *Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’*.
	+ The song "F" also appeared in promotional trailer and as an insert song for the *Resurrection ‘F’* film itself.

## List of Characters Killed by Frieza

* King Vegeta – Killed by Frieza with a single punch in the anime.
* King Vegeta's Elite Soldiers – Killed by Frieza using his Eye Lasers in the anime.
* Bardock – Bardock was apparently killed when Frieza threw his Supernova at Planet Vegeta to blow it up. Several media released after *Dragon Ball Z: Bardock - The Father of Goku* show that Bardock was sent to another time instead of dying.
* Combatants – Killed by the Supernova that Frieza uses when he decides to destroy Planet Vegeta, as they were in the way.
* Saiyans – When Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta, most of the entire Saiyan race was killed. Casualties included Bardock, King Vegeta and his majordomo, Gine, Leek, Nion, Moroko, Taro.

Dragon Ball Z* Namekians – Killed many during the war on Namek. They were later revived with the Dragon Balls.
* Cargo – Killed by Frieza with an energy blast over Moori's shoulder in the manga. In the anime, he was killed by Dodoria instead in the same fashion. He was later revived with the Dragon Balls with the rest of the Namekians.
* Orlen – Killed in the anime only. He returned to Frieza after discovering the hidden village Vegeta attacked, but as he had not found out where Vegeta had hidden the Dragon Ball, Frieza killed him with his Eye Laser, threatening to do the same to Zarbon if he did not find Vegeta and make him talk.
* Namole – Killed in the anime only. While Namole timidly delivered the news that the Ginyu Force were arriving soon, Frieza kills him for showing fear in his presence.
* Grand Elder Guru - Indirectly killed by Frieza when he died of a broken heart when the latter killed all of his people.
* Dende – Frieza saw that Dende had the power to heal, so he killed him with a Death Beam to eliminate this threat. He was later revived with the Dragon Balls.
* Vegeta – Frieza mercilessly beat him up, and then when Goku came and Vegeta talked about Frieza being beaten by a Saiyan, Frieza killed the Saiyan Prince with a Death Beam through the chest just to shut him up. Before dying, he told Goku to destroy Frieza, but was later revived with the Dragon Balls. When the timeline is altered in *Dragon Ball Xenoverse*, Frieza kills Vegeta before Goku even arrives.
* Krillin – Frieza lifted him into the air using telekinesis and blew him up when he clenched his fist, inducing Goku's first Super Saiyan transformation. He was later revived with the Namekian Dragon Balls. When the timeline is altered in *Dragon Ball Xenoverse*, Frieza kills Krillin before Goku even arrives.
* Unnamed Captain – Killed by Frieza, who pierced him with his hand from behind after he retreated from Future Trunks.

Dragon Ball Super* North City Civilians – Upon beginning his invasion of Earth, Frieza destroys North City with a Death Beam, killing all of the civilians.
* Gohan – Put into a clinically dead state by Frieza when he punched him so hard his heart stopped. He was revived when Piccolo restarted his heart with a kiai.
* Piccolo – Killed in the anime only by Frieza when he stepped in front of a Death Beam meant for Gohan. He was later revived with the Dragon Balls (anime only).
* New Frieza Army - In the anime, Frieza kills all of the soldiers simply by transforming into his final form, the resulting power surge killing them all.
* Everyone on Earth - Frieza destroys Earth during his fight with Vegeta, killing everyone on the planet, except for Whis, Beerus, Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, Tien Shinhan, Master Roshi, Bulma, and Jaco. Whis utilized his time manipulation powers to rewind time so that Goku could stop Frieza from destroying Earth, thus preventing their deaths.
* Universe 9's Assassins and their leader - All of them were killed by Frieza with his barrage of Great Death Beams.
* Gas – Killed by Frieza, who pierced him with his hand through the chest after transforming into his Black Frieza form.
* Elec – Destroyed with Death Cannon after blocking his punch.

Films* Tagoma – Killed in the movie only by Frieza when he says that Frieza should just forget about Goku and the others.
* North City Civilians – Upon beginning his invasion of Earth, Frieza destroys North City with a Death Beam, killing all of the civilians. Though, they are revived later by Bulma (movie only).
* Gohan – Put into a clinically dead state by Frieza when he punched him so hard his heart stopped. He was revived when Piccolo restarted his heart with a kiai.
* New Frieza Army – In the movie, all of the soldiers are killed by Frieza after they were defeated by the Dragon Team.
* Everyone on Earth - Frieza destroys Earth during his fight with Vegeta, killing everyone on the planet, except for Whis, Beerus, Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, Tien Shinhan, Master Roshi, Bulma, and Jaco. Whis utilized his time manipulation powers to rewind time so that Goku could stop Frieza from destroying Earth, thus preventing their deaths.
* Paragus - Frieza shot him in the heart with a Death Beam to trigger Broly's Super Saiyan transformation.

Video games* Everyone on Earth - In the story of *Xenoverse 2*, this also includes Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, Tien, Roshi, Bulma and Jaco, as time is altered so that Frieza successfully kills everyone on Earth (other than Beerus and Whis who had been tricked by Towa into traveling to the Time Nest in Age 852 and the Future Warrior who was saved at the last minute by Xeno Trunks). However, these events are undone by Whis' Temporal Do-Over and the Future Warrior manages to stop Frieza's Earth Breaker with an energy blast, forcing Golden Frieza and the Metal Cooler to take on their Supervillain forms).
* Bardock & Future Trunks - In the *Legendary Pack 2* DLC for *Xenoverse 2*, after Bardock survives Frieza's Supernova attack on Planet Vegeta thanks to the intervention of Fu and after Future Trunks and the Future Warrior manage to weaken Bardock, Future Trunks tries to tell Bardock that he will kill Frieza in the future, but unfortunately Bardock sees a future vision where Frieza hits both Future Trunks and Bardock with a single Death Beam which causes them to fall into his Supernova killing them both. Fortunately, Bardock prevents this history from becoming true by charging past Future Trunks causing Frieza's Death Beam to only hits Bardock who had seen an image of Future Trunks cutting Mecha Frieza in two before the vision of their deaths, thus knows Future Trunks is telling the truth and accepts his fate as his body falls to the Supernova as it destroys Planet Vegeta, resulting in history being restored.
* Frost – Killed in a video game only by pre-Battle of Namek Frieza during the Tournament of Time, sending Frost back to his proper time with no memories of the tournament.

* In-universe his name has been shown to be spelled as **Freeza**.
* Frieza is the first character to survive a full-power Spirit Bomb, the 2nd being Jiren.
* Frieza's English dub voice actor, Chris Ayres, is the brother of Frost's English dub voice actor, Greg Ayres.
* Frieza is the final villain in the *Dragon Ball* manga to have a desire for the Dragon Balls.

* Frieza has a merchandise only joke form called "**Pure Gold Frieza**" which is based on Golden Frieza. It is stated by Frieza that this form is the result of him "overtraining" - causing him to gain an Ultimate Evolution-like state that is pure gold in appearance.
* An error in the Funimation dub had Frieza (in his first form) saying he was 530,000 times stronger than Nail, who had a power level of 42,000. This meant that Frieza's power level was 22,260,000,000. In the original Japanese dub, Frieza states he has a power level of 530,000 and he later states this in the Funimation dub of *Dragon Ball Z Kai* as well.
* Frieza's third form somewhat resembles a Xenomorph from the *Alien* film series, particularly in skull structure and his dorsal spines (in addition, Cooler's final form vaguely resembles a Predator).
* Frieza has his tail cut off four times. The first time is when he was in his second form, when Krillin chops it off with a Destructo Disc, though it seems to regenerate when he enters his final form. The second is when he is hit by Goku's Spirit Bomb, as part of it is unable to withstand the blast and thus comes off. The third is when he is cut in half by his own attack, the energy disks slice off his body in half, along with one arm and his tail. The fourth is from slamming Jiren into the arena with his Nova Strike.
	+ In addition, Frieza is chopped in half twice during his lifetime. The first is when he is chopped horizontally in two by his own energy disk. The second is when Future Trunks slices him vertically in half, seconds before chopping him to pieces and completely destroying him. In *Dragon Ball GT*, Frieza is chopped in half a third time while fighting Goku in Hell and using Krillin's Destructo Disc technique against him, which Goku turns back on him.

* In *Dragon Ball SD*, Roshi has a Freezer brand fridge.
* Frieza is the second villain to be defeated by Goku and return as a cyborg. The first is Mercenary Tao. Interestingly, both characters suffered grave injuries resulting in receiving cybernetics because of dirty attacks towards Goku (i.e. begging for mercy, and then attacking Goku when his guard was let down), and both were given cybernetics by a relative of theirs. They were also both defeated very quickly after reappearing by someone other than Goku. But unlike Tao, Frieza is no longer a cyborg.
* Frieza had inspired many other villains in the Shonen genre, notably Orochimaru from the *Naruto* series. During the first *Naruto* series animation run, Masashi Kishimoto remarked that he hoped Orochimaru would get a voice actor just like Frieza's.[*citation needed*]
* Frieza is the second character to make Goku shake in fear, the first being Raditz, and the third being Hit.
* Of all four of the main villains in *Dragon Ball Z*, Frieza has the largest on-screen body count: he murdered numerous Saiyans, Namekians, committed several atrocities with an innumerable casualty count, and has murdered many characters recognized as individuals on-camera.
* Frieza is the second villain to yell "Damn you Goku!" as his last words, with the first being Dr. Wheelo. Coincidentally, both villains also ended up obliterated by a significantly powerful ki attack shortly afterward (Wheelo by a Spirit Bomb, and Frieza by the God Kamehameha), and both even made a reference to Hell immediately beforehand (in Wheelo's case, as an expletive when demanding to know what Goku was about to do, and in Frieza's case, telling Vegeta and everyone else to go there without him in reference to his attempt at destroying Earth before Goku intervened).
* Of all the main *Dragon Ball* villains featured in media, Frieza is the most prominent "true" villain that appeared as a major character in more than one mainstream *Dragon Ball* media (anime or manga (that excluded related merchandising)), this includes appearances in the *Dragon Ball Super* anime, as the main antagonist of its second saga, then later appearing as a member of Team Universe 7, for the Universe Survival Saga,
	+ He can be considered the main antagonist of the *Dragon Ball* Franchise and Goku's arch-enemy due to being the most recurring villain of the series.
	+ His appearance in *Dragon Ball GT* might not count, along with Cell, as they made very short appearances in Hell as minor villains and were outsmarted by Goku.
	+ He is also the only major villain to appear in more than one film (TV/Theatrical), the most prominent and significant one being in *Resurrection ‘F’*.
	+ Majin Buu (any incarnations) also does not count, as the Good Buu may have appeared in other series than *DBZ*, like *Dragon Ball Super*, he is merely a purely good entity fissioned from and is completely separate from the true, pure evil version killed in his only anime appearance, Kid Buu.
	+ Additionally, Frieza is one of the most referenced villains in the series, as seen many times when the characters constantly use Frieza as a measuring stick for the power of other characters. Such instances are when describing Android 17 and 18 and Imperfect Cell, as well as during Goku's fight with Uub when the Saiyan states that he hadn't been so forced back in a battle since Frieza. Beerus also displayed visible shock when he heard of Frieza's defeat, indicating the profound impact he's had on the series.
* Frieza's wish of becoming taller is almost identical to Commander Red's; it is also probable that he developed a Napoleonic complex, feeling inferior and less respected to most people due to his height, which is why he killed any soldier who ever commented on it. Lemo even warned Cheelai to watch her tongue when she mentions hearing that Frieza was short.
	+ This characteristic wasn't evident in *Dragon Ball Z*; instead, Frieza took advantage of his height, as enemies tended to underestimate his power.
* In the Greek dub of *Dragon Ball Z* (except for episodes 78-87), *Dragon Ball GT*, the movies and *Bardock - The Father of Goku*, Frieza is a woman. In *Dragon Ball Super*, Frieza is a man.
	+ On a related note, this makes Frieza the third character to have his gender changed in the Greek dub, after General Blue and Zarbon.
* Frieza can be considered a foil to Goku (which is very fitting). Goku was born extremely weak and had to train to get stronger, is naturally peaceful and often shows enemies mercy, and even rejected his violent Saiyans ways of conquest. Frieza on the other hand was born extraordinarily powerful and never required much effort in training for extra strength, rarely shows mercy, and took over 70% of Universe 7.
* Frieza's Ghost Warrior is the only one of the Ghost Warriors in the OVA to not have originated in a movie.
* Frieza's speech while reveling in his destruction of Planet Vegeta differed between languages. In the original Japanese version, he specifically called Dodoria and Zarbon to come watch the "splendid fireworks" (referring to the constant explosions occurring on the surface of the soon-to-be-destroyed Planet Vegeta). In the original and Remastered Funimation dubs, Frieza instead compares the ongoing destruction to a live performance such as a play that was done spectacularly well. The former was eventually used for *Dragon Ball Z Kai*.
* Frieza's voice in his second and third forms are different from how he sounds in his base and final form. When he was voiced by Linda Young, his second form voice was quite different and was much lower and raspier. This was also the case for his third form, though in original *Dragon Ball Z* dubs, his third form voice was a combination of both first and second form. When voiced by Chris Ayres in *Dragon Ball Z Kai*, his second form voice is slightly lower than first form and sounds similar to first form. In *Dragon Ball Z Kai*, his third form is when the difference in his voice starts to become drastic and noticeable, rather than being noticeable in his second form like in *Dragon Ball Z*.
* Frieza is shown to have an excellent memory: he remembered Bardock's appearance after seeing him only once and several years before, and recognized it in Goku's look. The anime expands upon this by having him explicitly deduce Goku was Bardock's son.
