Creation and formulation [edit]
Frieza, a broker who forcibly takes over planets to resell them, often rendering the planet's population extinct get-go, was created around the time of the Japanese economical bubble and was inspired by existent estate speculators, whom Toriyama called the "worst kind of people."[2] Toriyama purposely does non draw bad guys so unscrupulous that it affects 1 psychologically, although he admits Frieza is close. Therefore, he paid special attention to how Frieza spoke; because villains typically speak rudely, he gave him polite spoken language making for an unsettling dissimilarity with his cruelty.[3] The character's name is a pun on freezer, and because of this, his minions and the members of the Ginyu Strength are named after fruits and dairy products, items one would usually put in a refrigerator.[4] The Shenlong Times result #2, a bonus pamphlet given to some buyers of the Daizenshuu 2: Story Guide guidebook, says that Frieza was modeled after Toriyama'southward editor at the fourth dimension, Yū Kondō.[5]
Toriyama had the thought to bring Frieza back while attending a concert past the metallic band Maximum the Hormone. It came to him while watching them perform their 2008 song "F", which is about the fictional grapheme.[vi]
Frieza so far possesses five transformation forms, each one being quite different and more than powerful from the previous ones. Information technology is unsaid that Frieza'southward fourth form is actually his bones one, with the other three being transformations that suppress his power in order to conserve it,[seven] while the fifth one unleashes his true power. Toriyama revealed that he did not think to accept Frieza transform until nigh midway through. He said he has a habit of making characters gradually more than tough and circuitous-looking, until finally making them very sleek, as information technology is a hurting to describe them if their advent is too complex. The writer confirmed this is why Frieza's third and most intricate form is but shown for a short time, and joked that three transformations might be one likewise many.[iii]
Vocalisation actors [edit]
In the original Japanese version, Frieza is voiced by Ryūsei Nakao in every unmarried piece of Dragon Ball media.[viii]
In English, Frieza was voiced by Pauline Newstone in the Ocean dub of Dragon Ball Z.
In Funimation's in house English dub, Frieza was voiced by Linda Young in the Dragon Ball Z series and connected playing him in all subsequent media upwards until the first episode of Dragon Ball Z Kai. Christopher Ayres voiced the character in later episodes of Kai and all subsequent media through Dragon Ball Super.[ix] Due to being diagnosed with end-stage COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and requiring a double lung transplant, Ayres was forced to step downwardly from the office in 2018. He briefly reprised the role in 2019 for Dragon Ball Super: Broly and the home media releases of the Universal Survival Saga of Dragon Ball Super before passing away in 2021.[ten] [11] Ayres' understudy Daman Mills causeless the role beginning with the television broadcast of the Universal Survival Saga, and has voiced Frieza in all subsequent appearances with the exception of Broly.
Appearances [edit]
Dragon Ball Z [edit]
Before the commencement of the serial, Frieza destroys Planet Vegeta, afterwards Beerus' say-so, out of both fright of a potential uprising by the Saiyans due to their increasing ability and the prophecy of the coming of the legendary Super Saiyan. Frieza merely knowingly spares Vegeta, Nappa, and Raditz, who were away on a mission when he blew Planet Vegeta upwardly, afterward telling them it was struck by a meteor. However, when Bardock made a last stand up when Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta, he did not discover the Saiyan's 2d son being sent to Earth where he became known equally Goku.

He and his men massacre Namekian villages ane later some other, until Gohan, Krillin, and Vegeta begin to hamper his efforts in their own mode. Though Frieza manages to proceeds the Dragon Balls, with the Ginyu Forcefulness dealing with the interlopers, his disability to speak Namekian forces him to find the Cracking Elder of Namek. Frieza ends upwardly fighting Namekian warrior Blast, whom he beats repeatedly until Nail reveals that their fight was merely to buy fourth dimension for Dende to give the words needed to actuate the Namekian Dragon Balls, for the warriors from Earth. With his entire army killed by Vegeta and the Ginyu Strength defeated by Goku, Frieza intercepts Vegeta and the others personally.
Enraged to find he is too late, equally the Dragon Assurance have become inert on Guru's death, Frieza briefly battles Vegeta, with the Saiyan Prince goading him into transforming and revealing his true power. Frieza transforms into his 2nd form, and during the battle he finally admits to exist the 1 who had destroyed the planet where the Saiyans had settled. After defeating Vegeta, Frieza takes on Piccolo, who has at this bespeak fused with Smash. Although Piccolo appears to be even with him, he transforms into his third form and dominates the powerful Namekian.[12] Following a cursory tussle with Gohan, Frieza decides to transform into his final class.[13] He kills Dende to stop him from healing the others[14] and mortally wounds Vegeta just as Goku arrives, who just recovered following his fight with the Ginyu Force.[15] Frieza fights Goku and the 2 seem evenly matched, but Frieza powers upwards to 50% of his maximum ability and brutally beats him;[16] however, Goku manages to seriously wound the tyrant with a Spirit Bomb.[17] In retaliation, Frieza critically injures Piccolo and kills Krillin, which sends Goku into a rage, consequently bold Super Saiyan form for the offset time.[xviii] Goku takes the upper hand and viciously pummels Frieza, who damages the core of Namek in an act of desperation, knowing he can survive in vacuum of infinite.[19] The tyrant so uses 100% of his power and briefly regains the advantage, simply his power level begins to driblet and he is again outclassed by Goku and ultimately sliced in one-half by one of his own attacks. Though Goku spares the bedridden Frieza while leaving for his ship to escape the planet's destruction, Frieza attempts to blast Goku from behind, prompting Goku to retaliate with his own attack that obviously destroys Frieza.[20]
All the same, Frieza survives both the attack and Namek'southward explosion, and drifts through space until he is institute by his father King Cold ( コルド大王 , Korudo Daiō ), who has him rebuilt with cybernetic prosthetics, increasing his strength significantly. A yr later, Frieza and King Cold travel to Earth in club to exact revenge on Goku and his friends, merely they are confronted past Trunks, Vegeta and Bulma's son from the hereafter.[21] Subsequently a brief battle, Frieza is sliced to pieces by Trunks and his remains blasted into oblivion, with his male parent following soon later.

Cell is eventually destroyed past Gohan, thereby destroying the last traces of Frieza's biological tissue.
Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' / Dragon Ball Super [edit]
Ending up in Earth's Hell after existence killed by Hereafter Trunks, Frieza spends the next xiv years existence tortured by playful antics of an overly saccharine core of angels and fairies while reliving the memories of his defeats at the hands of Goku and Trunks. Just Frieza is resurrected past Sorbet, who saw Frieza'south return as essential to restore the Frieza Force to its former glory, and his right hand, Tagoma. The 2 so bring Frieza's diced Mecha Frieza form to their ship, where they employ their advanced medical technology to restore him to his full organic form. After learning that Goku defeated Majin Buu and fought Beerus to a stalemate, both beingness the two figures his father warned him never to cross, Frieza decides to undergo four months of intensive training. This led to him achieving a new form which he dubs "Gilded Frieza" earlier setting off for Earth with his regular army. The Z Fighters agree back Tagoma and Frieza's minions long enough for Goku and Vegeta to return from their training session on Beerus'southward planet. Frieza executes his defeated army for their incompetence just as Goku, Vegeta, Beerus, and Whis arrive. Goku reveals his new Super Saiyan Blue course, although Frieza overpowers him yet lacked the stamina for a prolonged fight in his powered state. He then has Sorbet shoot Goku, forcing Vegeta to take upwardly his place. Vegeta nearly kills Frieza who instead causes his decease by destroying Earth. but Whis rewinds time so Goku can quickly kill off Frieza before he destroys the planet. Frieza returns to Hell, where he is once more tormented by the angels.[22] Frieza appears in the manga adaption omake aslope Sorbet and Susami in Hell.
Frieza after returns in the Universal Tournament Arc equally a replacement member for the Seventh Universe team after Majin Buu is ineligible to fight due to having fallen into a deep sleep from which nobody could wake him, revealed to have mentally trained himself to maintain his Golden form. When approached by Goku, who is arranging for him to exist temporarily revived by Fortuneteller Baba for a 24-hour interval, Frieza accepts the offer on the status of beingness fully resurrected by the Dragon Balls after the tournament. Upon being revived, Frieza slaughters a grouping of assassins hired by the deities of the Ninth Universe to kill him while trapping Goku in a Destroyer-based energy attack meant for him. He so attempted to offer his services to the Ninth Universe deities in return for a place in their universe until Beerus and Whis announced. Despite Beerus's reservations, Goku vouches for him as they join the rest of their team.
Equally the tournament commences, Frieza meets his Sixth Universe counterpart Frost ( フロスト , Furosuto ), a con artist who posed equally a hero until a previous contest between the Seventh and Sixth Universes exposed his criminal activities and forced him into hiding. Frieza tricks Frost into believing they have forged an alliance to take out the Saiyans, proceeding to have out both the 9th Universe'southward Roselle and the 10th Universe'southward Murichim as the tournament commences.[23] Afterward eliminating Frost when he appears to commence their organisation, Frieza eventually ends up being one of the 4 remaining combatants alongside Goku, Android 17, and Jiren of the Eleventh Universe. Frieza unexpectedly teams upwardly with Goku to strength Jiren out in a triple elimination with 17 declared the winner, resurrected soon after by Whis at Beerus'south behest equally a reward for his efforts. Frieza so takes his leave to begin rebuilding his empire but is warned past Goku that he will be destroyed if he e'er torments the universe again.
During the events of the flick Dragon Ball Super: Broly, Frieza starts to rebuild his forces while deciding to utilise Earth's Dragon Balls to make a wish to increase his pinnacle by v centimeters, having get disillusioned with the idea of eternal life. Frieza recruits the Saiyan Broly and his male parent Paragus, who back-trail him to Earth for the final Dragon Brawl, realizing the former's potential every bit he matched Goku and Vegeta in their Super Saiyan Blue forms. This inspires Frieza to kill Paragus to force Broly'due south transformation into a Super Saiyan, just to be defenseless in Broly's binge after the latter rapidly defeats Goku. Frieza is saved at the last second by Gogeta, a merged warrior between Goku and Vegeta created when they perform the fusion trip the light fantastic technique, who thwarts his endeavor to kill off his quondam subordinates Chilai and Lemo when they use the Dragon Balls to salve Broly's life past wishing him off the planet. Frieza falls back while vowing revenge against Goku.
Abilities [edit]
Frieza is capable of moving at superhuman speeds and flying, and has quick reflexes.[24] Similar most characters in the serial, he can harness a supernatural free energy known as Ki and manipulate information technology into powerful and devastating concussive beams of said energy, with which he is able to destroy planets with relative ease. Some of Frieza's signature ki techniques include the Death Beam ( デスビーム , Desu Bīmu ), a sharp piercing beam from his finger, and the Death Ball ( デスボール , Desu Bōru ), a large energy sphere he used to destroy planet Namek and previous to that, Planet Vegeta. He is capable of surviving in the vacuum of space, and likewise seems to possess some form of telekinesis, existence able to lift opponents without touching them and crusade them to explode.
Frieza's power was so great over fourth dimension, that his body could not comfortably incorporate information technology and a series of physical transformations were developed that limit his actual strength.[25] While changing shape from his "beginning-form", each amending builds on the previous. In all, Frieza has three transformed states, each with increasing power, some larger than others and each resulting in different physical attributes, although the ii transformed states (forth with his outset form) were just to suppress Frieza'due south power, and that his fourth transformed state is actually his true form, while a fifth further transformation (Golden Frieza) that he discovered later on his four months of grooming actually increases his ability drastically and lets out most of his latent strength.
- First grade
In his weakest grade, Frieza is a relatively short humanoid with a large chestnut-shaped skull and ii horns. He likewise has a tail with a spiked terminate, likewise every bit having three talon-similar toes.[26] Frieza wears the same upper-body armor and shorts that many of his subordinates are shown to wear, and while traveling, often gives the advent of weakness by exclusively using his hoverchair for transportation, leaving his henchmen to practice his "dirty work". Though frail in comparison with his succeeding forms, Frieza yet boasts sufficient forcefulness to destroy planets.[27] While shifting to his side by side stage, Frieza breaks his boxing-jacket, revealing a natural white armor covering his chest and shoulders.
Frieza'due south 6th Universe counterpart, Frost, also initially appears in this form.
- 2d class
His second form is much larger, both in height and muscle mass. He grows longer horns, which at present instead of protruding sideways from his head curve sharply up into nearly right angles.[28] In this form, Frieza does not have whatever trouble taking out Vegeta, Krillin, and Gohan. Even so, Frieza notices that Piccolo's power level is near equal to his own level, leaving Frieza with no choice but to transform again. This class largely resembles his father, King Cold.
Frieza'due south sixth Universe counterpart Frost besides takes on a 2nd grade, however information technology bears a greater resemblance to Frieza's 3rd form and is said to exist the equivalent of it by Piccolo.
- Third form
Frieza's third form is again more hardhearted, with an extremely elongated skull (like an Alien). His facial features contort and change, with his nose melding into his rima oris to form a crude beak. His original horns recede and are now white in color, erupting in pairs forth the length of his head. Despite his increased bulk, Frieza's speed is significantly higher in this form, easily outpacing Piccolo fifty-fifty later the Namek fighter removed his weighted training clothes. His tail tip, which had been cutting off past Krillin, did not regenerate and he now has a slight hunch. Although his tail was surprisingly not regenerated, the rest of his wounds disappeared as if nothing ever touched him.[29]
- Fourth form
Drastically differing from his previous transformations, in his final, true form, Frieza's third form (beingness more like a shell for this terminal course) cracks and shatters open, revealing a shorter and less bulky appearance. His horns and spikes disappear with his physique becoming entirely streamlined and his skin is now a pure, solid white with purple sections on his head, shoulders, forearms, breast and shins. All injuries taken in other forms are healed. This is the class that allows him to release his full potential. Frieza is also able to attain 100% power of this class, his muscle mass condign engorged compared to his previously sleek frame.[30] This is the height of Frieza's natural potential, and the maximum corporeality of power his torso tin output. At 100%, Frieza'south power increases immensely, to the betoken that he is able to overpower even Super Saiyan Goku, during some moments of their fight. However while in this course Frieza's trunk is subjected to a muscle strain that slowly starts draining his energy until he loses near of his speed to exist able to maintain his forcefulness while in this form. Condign slower and less resilient, at the end of the fight Frieza is no match for Super Saiyan Goku anymore who gets the upperhand on him, which results in Frieza'south defeat. Existence aware of this weakness of his, Frieza had tried to terminate the fight as quickly every bit possible past destroying Planet Namek.[31]
Frieza'south 6th Universe counterpart, Frost, too briefly uses this form during the Tournament of Power.
- Mecha Frieza
Subsequently being cut in half by his own attack and being caught in Namek'south huge explosion, what remains of the still-living Frieza is salvaged and rebuilt with cybernetic enhancements by scientists under the order of King Cold; this course is referred to equally Mecha Frieza ( メカフリーザ ) in video games. The whole of the lower half of his body and right side of his face are replaced, as is his left arm from the shoulder downwards, with scarring and metallic accoutrements covering what little was left of his organic cocky. It is stated that these enhancements take made him even more powerful. Still, he was never able to unleash his full ability in this class, since he was quickly destroyed by Trunks.[32]
- Golden Frieza
Frieza attains another transformation in the 2015 film Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' and Dragon Brawl Super. According to Frieza, his sixth transformation is achieved after undergoing intensive grooming for 4 months, enabling him to gain the strength to progress even further beyond his previous transformations by cartoon out all of his latent ability (as he had never trained a twenty-four hour period in his life beforehand).[33] In this form, Frieza's physique is similar to his previous fourth course except his skin is now a golden color as opposed to white, with majestic sections on his head, chest, forearms and shins, thus he is known equally "Aureate Frieza" ( ゴールデンフリーザ , Gōruden Furīza ) in this form. In this form at elevation power, Frieza is able to overpower Goku in his Super Saiyan Blue form with relative ease. However, much similar when he used 100% of his power in his sixth course, the transformation apace drains Frieza's energy and stamina due to him not training himself farther to go accepted to the form, and thus is unsuitable for prolonged combat, every bit he shortly finds himself unable to compete with Goku and Vegeta in their Super Saiyan Blue forms. After his second revival in the Tournament of Power Saga, Frieza reveals he mastered his Gilt form due to intense meditation while in hell. This "True Golden Frieza" can be used indefinitely without whatsoever drain on Frieza's stamina or even while he is barely conscious.[34] Frieza's Japanese voice histrion, Ryūsei Nakao jokingly placed Golden Frieza's power level at "ane hundred quintillion" (or ane.ii billion times stronger than the Fourth course).[35]
Appearances in other media [edit]
In numerous filler episodes of the anime and Dragon Ball GT, Frieza makes numerous cameo appearances, usually every bit comic relief, causing trouble in Hell, having somehow been permitted to keep his body despite his wrongdoings. In Hell, he is defeated and sent to prison by Goku and Pikkon along with Jail cell, his father and the Ginyu Force, and he is later seen watching Goku's concluding battle with Majin Buu in a crystal brawl, comically hoping for Goku to lose (this appearance is later contradicted in Resurrection "F" and its Dragon Ball Super adaptation, where Frieza is depicted equally unaware that Goku fought and defeated Buu, although for flashback sequences and such, Super alludes to Dragon Ball Z Kai, where most filler material has been cut). In Dragon Brawl Z: Fusion Reborn, Frieza briefly escapes from Hell with an army of villains to attack Earth, simply he is swiftly defeated by Gohan. In Dragon Ball GT, when Goku is sent to Hell past accident, Frieza and Jail cell confront him, their bodies having been rendered temporarily immortal due to the unbalance between the ii worlds. Using a joint attack, Frieza and Cell send Goku to a lower level where he is frozen by a witch, but the two villains end up frozen themselves when they foolishly venture down to gloat at Goku. Goku accidentally breaks the water ice holding Frieza and Cell and information technology shatters to pieces, implying that Frieza and Cell have been erased from existence. However, in a future scene, Frieza and Jail cell are seen being taken away in a cell with tape over their mouths and appear in the live action GT show where he and Prison cell gained new forms to rail downwardly Goku. He appeared in a Television set ad for Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, as he makes a non-speaking appearance in the moving picture.[36]
He also appears in a chapter of Toriyama's Neko Majin manga, published in Baronial 2003, which as well introduces Frieza'south son, Kuriza ( クリーザ ). He briefly appears in the 2006 Dragon Ball crossover chapter, "This is the Police Station in front of Dragon Park on Planet Namek" ( こちらナメック星ドラゴン公園前派出所 , Kochira Namekku-sei Dragon Kōen-mae Hashutsujo ), of Osamu Akimoto'south manga Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen-mae Hashutsujo.[37] Frieza appears in Naho Ōishi's 2011 Dragon Ball spin-off manga Episode of Bardock, but it predominately features his ancestor Chilled ( チルド ). He besides appears in Toriyama's 2014 Dragon Ball Minus: The Departure of the Blighted Kid special.[38]
Frieza has made numerous appearances in other media. The Japanese nu metal/hardcore punk ring Maximum the Hormone released the vocal "F" as part of a double A-side unmarried on July nine, 2008.[39] The entirety of the song references Frieza, with the unmarried itself ascent equally high every bit number ii on the Oricon music chart.[40] The song was the source of reference used by Toriyama for the championship of the film Fukkatsu no F and is featured in the flick.[41] Seikima-Two frontman Demon Kakka wrote and performed the song "Tada Kogoeru Elegy ~The Theme of Frieza~" ( ただ凍える挽歌(Elegy)〜The Theme Of FREEZER〜 ) that appeared in two episodes of Dragon Ball Kai and on the 2009 Dragon Ball Kai Song Drove album.[42]
In the manga Black Cat, the character Sven Vollfied is often seen using his cell telephone with a wrist strap of a miniature-sized badge of Frieza'south head.[43] A caricature of Frieza mixed with a grey conflicting was parodied as a mech pilot in an episode of Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi.[44] The anime Yakitate!! Japan featured a spoof re-enactment of the fight betwixt Goku and Frieza, with a grapheme clad in a refrigerator representing the latter.[45] The Drawing Network show 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.[46]
Video games [edit]
Frieza has been featured in many of the video games based on the series. Often, he'due south both a playable grapheme and boss, though more oftentimes the latter. He is also unremarkably able to transform into his many different forms.
Frieza appears in the Famicom game (and later on Playdia remake) Dragon Brawl Z Gaiden: Saiyajin Zetsumetsu Keikaku. Frieza seems to be somehow resurrected, and he and other by villains offset attacking Goku and his friends. Once it's revealed these are merely ghost-warriors meant to distract the heroes, however, the false Frieza and his allies are easily dealt with. Other games highlight Frieza in alternate story paths; including those where he successfully attains immortality and goes on to threaten World such as Dragon Ball Z: Budokai, and Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2 where Frieza and Cell are resurrected and controlled past Bobbidi equally a distraction for the player.
Frieza also appears every bit a playable character in the crossover fighting games Jump Ultimate Stars, Boxing Stadium D.O.N, J-Stars Victory Vs and Spring Force.
Reception [edit]
Yū Kondō, Toriyama's 2nd editor from the Saiyan arc until the advent of Perfect Prison cell, and Fuyuto Takeda, his third editor from Perfect Jail cell until the cease of the series, said that Dragon Brawl hit its peak in popularity during the Frieza arc. In a one-chiliad ballot popularity poll held in Weekly Shōnen Jump, Dragon Ball received 815 of them.[47] In 2004, fans of the series voted Frieza the 9th about pop character for a poll in the book Dragon Ball Forever.[48] Frieza topped a poll of Dragon Ball antagonists by fan vote, the results of which was published by the March 2018 issue of V Jump.[49]
Frieza was mentioned every bit one of the "most love characters" in an article past GamePro.[50] The casting and management of his English voices has frequently been criticized over the years, with IGN's Ramsey Isler writing that, coupled with the ambiguous physical features, the "onetime lady" voice atomic number 82 to some gender defoliation with fans.[51] The Ledger's December 8, 1999 paper names him as one of the reasons that Dragon Ball Z was listed as a violent show for children, stating, "In one contempo episode, beads of sweat form on the brow of a graphic symbol named Vegeta, equally he is virtually strangled to decease 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."[52] The paper also comments on Frieza's appearance: "Picayune 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."[53] Comic Book Resources regarded Frieza's role in the original series as the reason why his arc is one of the darkest always in the franchise due to the violence in fights, deaths and resolution of his fight against Goku, giving it an improvement in retrospect.[54] Both Kotaku and Den of Geek regarded Frieza equally the serial' near entertaining villain in the unabridged serial which led to the staff to revive him multiple times in order to entreatment to returning fans.[55] [56]
Response to Frieza's revival in Resurrection F has been mixed to negative. DVD Talk enjoyed the rematch between Frieza and Goku in Resurrection F but still lamented that its length was too much when compared with other subplots.[57] IGN was more than positive in regards Frieza's new powers and rivalry with Goku.[58] Anime News Network lamented Frieza's part as he felt that he barely gave a decent fight in the movie equally the writing fails to portray him every bit a menacing villain with the new powers of Goku and Vegeta hands surpassing him aslope other plot devices like the healing beans. In regards to the vocalization actors "Ayres' brand of childish pompousness is a lot less threatening in a story where Frieza isn't in a position of power from the commencement. Ryusei Nakao's slightly more adult tone works a little better in this case."[59] Den of Geek constitute the fight between Goku'south allies and Frieza's army as the best function of the movie in contrast to the lead'south fights which he felt was "standard" to the point it gets "boring".[lx]
For the final arc of Dragon Ball Super, Anime News Network had mixed feelings about the 2nd return of Frieza to have him teamed up with Universe 7. He felt that while Frieza might be turning into a Dragon Ball cliché where villains before heroes, his actions were still ambiguous and it was satisfying to see him engage with Goku on a one-on-i to settle their rules in the Tournament of Power.[61] Hobby Consolas commented that Frieza was overpowered past Jiren and so many times that information technology became tiring to meet. However, Frieza's squad up with Goku in gild to force their enemy out of the tournament'southward arena was found surprising for how such characters who take hated each other's for years have decided to join forces to the point even Vegeta is shocked at seeing this.[62] IGN noted that Frieza was absent through and so many episodes of the final arc and praised his squad upwardly with Goku non only due to their differences just also animation highlights. Still, the fact that Frieza is not only revived just also given his own empire back left the reviewer in a dilemma in regards to the affect it might give the franchise in the future due to whether or non he will keep beingness evil as he kept interacting with Goku for a long time.[63] Cine Premiere agreed that Frieza's future actions might be upwards to debate.[64]

- ^ While other beings in Dragon Ball transform to increase their ability, Frieza transforms to control and incorporate it. His true form is his fourth form (Dragon Ball Z manga, book 10, chapter 109), with each of his other transformations meant to restrict his ability and conceal it from his enemies. Frieza fifty-fifty says upon transforming to his second land that he has a harder time decision-making himself and his ability due to the immensity of his current strength (Dragon Brawl Z manga, volume 9, chapter 102).
