Summary

Frieza (フリーザ, Furīza) is the leader of the Frieza Force and the son of King Cold, who, unopposed, ruled over the majority of the Seventh Universe for decades. Thanks to his mutant and hybrid status, Frieza was born with an abnormally high-power level. He never needed to train a day in his life to access his phenomenal power. Frieza, fearful of the legendary Super Saiyan, slaughters the Saiyan race and destroys their home planet, leaving only a few survivors, including the young prince Vegeta. In the original "Dragon Ball," the Saiyan genocide serves as the catalyst for nearly every event. As a result, he can be considered the series' most personal and important antagonist. Ultimately, in a showdown with Goku on Namek, he ends up triggering the Super Saiyan transformation he feared so much, leading to his own downfall.

All previous abilities enhanced plus:

• Cyborgization (Normal)

Attack Potency: Small Star level in his First Form (Casually destroyed Planet Vegeta), higher in his Second Form (Is vastly superior to his first form, doubling his power. With each passing transformation his strength increases many times), far higher in his Third Form (Easily stomped Piccolo, who had previously matched him in his second form), Large Star level in his Final Form (Frieza can overpower Vegeta, who was stronger than his previous forms, without exerting himself in the slightest, easily overpower Kaioken x10 Goku with less than 50% of his power, and match his Kaioken x20 with 50% of his power), higher at 100% (After powering up to full power, Frieza managed to put up a good fight against Super Saiyan Goku, though he was ultimately weaker) | Large Star level (Was confident in being able to kill Super Saiyan Goku, having grown much more powerful after becoming a cyborg. Is stated several times to be considerably stronger than before)

Speed: At least Supersonic flight speed (Faster than Krillin who could fly this quickly), Massively FTL combat speed in his First Form (Half the speed of his Second Form. Comparable in speed to Vegeta after his Zenkai boosts, and Ginyu Saga Goku even with Kaioken x4), Massively FTL+ combat speed in his Second Form (Kept up with Piccolo), higher combat speed in his Third Form (Easily toyed with and blitzed Piccolo), far higher combat speed in his Final Form at 50% and 100% of his power (At 50% of his power, Frieza is comparable to Goku with Kaioken x20, at 100% of his power, he is much faster than before, and can keep up with Super Saiyan Goku) | At least Supersonic flight speed, Massively FTL+ combat speed (Far swifter than before, and should be faster than Frieza Saga Super Saiyan Goku)

Lifting Strength: Unknown

Striking Strength: Small Star level in his First Form, higher in his Second Form, far higher in his Third Form, Large Star level in his Final Form (Effortlessly brutalized Vegeta with a tiny fraction of his power, and dissipated Goku's Kaio-ken x20 Kamehameha with a single hand at 50%), higher at 100% (Traded blows with Super Saiyan Goku) | Large Star level (Much stronger than before)

Durability: Small Star level in his First Form, higher in his Second Form (Traded blows with Piccolo), far higher in his Third Form, Large Star level in his Final Form (Tanked a Kaioken x20 Kamehameha from Goku with only light injuries at 50% of his power, and went on to survive his Spirit Bomb), higher at 100% (Traded blows with Super Saiyan Goku) | Large Star level

Stamina: Superhuman (Frieza's endurance is extraordinary, as demonstrated in his long, painful battle with Goku. Even after taking a Spirit Bomb head-on, Frieza still had enough stamina to keep on going and fight against Goku as a Super Saiyan, powering up to 100% and matching him in power. However, due to Frieza's inexperience with the form, at 100%, Frieza's ki is rapidly drained. Even so, he can endure being severely injured during his fight with Goku and ultimately even being cut in half and blasted into Namek after being completely drained of ki, going on to survive its explosion)

Range: Standard Melee Range; Extended Melee Range with tail; At least Planetary with ki blasts and attacks | Standard Melee Range; Extended Melee Range with tail; Interplanetary with ki blasts and attacks

Standard Equipment: His Scouter, Battle Armor and Hover Pod

Intelligence: Gifted (As the dictatorial ruler of much of Universe 7, Frieza is a clever and crafty commander who kept his iron grip on his territory by terror and strategic military deployment. In combat, he is an extremely skilled hand-to-hand combatant capable of fighting on par with the likes of Goku, even when playing around. He is well-versed in using ki, replicating and improving upon Krillin's Kienzan with his own homing variant. However, for all of his skill, Frieza is quite overconfident and isn't fond of utilizing his full power)

Weaknesses: Frieza is arrogant and sadistic, preferring to prolong an opponent's suffering rather than killing them right away, even when it is entirely feasible for him to do so. Frieza's ki rapidly drains in his 100% power state due to his lack of experience with it, and he cannot fight for long in this condition.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Ki Attacks Mutant Hybrid Physiology Ki (気き): The fighting power and life force of a martial artist, a tangible energy derived from the user's vigor, courage, and mind. It can be used in several ways, such as to surpass the limits of one's body to dramatically increase strength. It can also be fired as blasts of energy or create defensive barriers. Possessing such ridiculous strength at birth that few could match him, Frieza is a mighty mutant hybrid of his race whose power is so great that to properly control it, he had to create lesser, weaker forms to restrain his strength. He is incredibly skilled in using ki, though his ignorance of its spiritual side meant he didn't know how to sense ki at first. Death Ball (デス気き玉だま, Desu-kidama): After gathering ki in the shape of a sphere with a single fingertip, Frieza creates a giant energy sphere that can easily destroy planets. His expertise in the technique allows him to restrain it to instead put a planet on a timer towards destruction if he so pleases. Its most powerful variant is the Supernova, a massive, sun-like sphere of energy that takes some time to charge but has immense power. Golden Frieza upgrades this technique into the even more powerful Golden Death Ball. Death Beam (デス光線こうせん, Desu-kōsen): Frieza's favored finishing technique, a small, highly concentrated beam of ki fired from the fingertip with enough force to easily punch through an opponent's body. Frieza often uses this technique to torture his opponents before finishing them off, and uses it with great precision. He can fire many of them rapidly, overwhelming his opponents with a barrage of high-power attacks. After his mental training in Hell, Frieza gained such control over his ki that his Death Beams can home in on opponents. Death Psycho Bomb (超ちょう大念爆だいねんばく, Chōdai Nenbaku): By launching a small, invisible sphere of ki into his opponent, Frieza can force them to rise into the air as the sphere expands within them, ultimately exploding and destroying them from the inside. Death Saucer (追跡ついせき気き円斬えんざん, Tsuiseki Kienzan): A technique similar to Krillin's Kienzan, though Frieza can make two of these discs at once and throw them at opponents. They home in on targets, making them difficult to escape. Still, Frieza's overconfidence makes it very possible that he will lose track of them and end up cutting himself in half accidentally. It should be noted that it can cut through opponents several times stronger and more durable. Death Wave (大だい地ち裂斬れつざん, Daichi Retsuzan): Frieza can gather ki in his fingertips before releasing it with a sweep of his arm, slicing through his surroundings with a thin, razor-sharp blade of energy. Imprisonment Ball (懲ちょう役玉えきだま, Chōeki-dama): Frieza can trap his opponent within a sphere of ki, preventing them from escaping, and while they're trapped within, he can toy with them, kicking them around like a ball before ultimately kicking them into the ground, causing a massive explosion. This explosion is so powerful that it creates a vacuum, sucking everything nearby to its center. Nova Strike (ノヴァストライク, Nova Sutoraiku): After surrounding himself in a sphere of ki, Frieza launches himself at his opponent and slams into them with devastating force. Among his race – known only as Frieza Race - Frieza possesses a phenomenally high level of power and cruelty unseen even in his father, King Cold, due to his extreme mutations. His strength is such that he is on the same level of power as his father and could easily overpower any who dared oppose him even without any training. However, in his true, final form, Frieza lacks much control over his power, and thus, to restrain himself and keep his power under control, he created a set of three lower transformations, each weaker than the last. As he transforms, more and more of his energy shows through until he reaches his final form, regenerating minor wounds in the process and unleashing the full, terrifying force of his power. However, due to his general lack of experience, he cannot properly control himself at 100% of his power, lacking stamina and control. Thus, he cannot maintain the form for long. However, Frieza's most striking trait is his ridiculous survivability, which even the other members of his family lack. Despite being drained of ki, he can survive being bisected by his own attack and blasted into Namek, which exploded shortly after. When he was resurrected by Shenron, he appeared as the several bits of himself that Trunks had cut him into. From there, he was resuscitated and fully healed by a Medical Machine despite his injuries. He can also survive in the vacuum of space.
