“	I never imagined that there would be a fool who’d dare to challenge Frieza! I applaud your overconfidence, sir! Of course, I’m sure you will quickly regret not simply revealing the secret of the Dragon Balls... When you have to gasp it out in agony!	„
	~ Frieza to Nail

“	Oh, to see the Dragon Balls turn to stone at the very moment your wish might have come true. Quite a pill to swallow, eh, Vegeta? Of course, even more so for myself. As a matter of fact, in all my years, I have never been so angry as I am now. How incredibly irritating not to have seen the writing on the wall... now you pay! You vile, filth-sucking maggots! You will rue the day you crossed my path! Prepare yourself to face oblivion!	„
	~ Frieza to Vegeta, Son Gohan, and Krillin

“	Heh... You're in for it, now... Now that I've transformed, I won't be as gentle as I was before.	„
	~ Frieza about his second form

“	When ants battle a dinosaur, who do you think emerges the victor?	„
	~ Frieza to Vegeta, Son Gohan, and Krillin

“	Thank you for waiting... Now, if you're ready, let's begin round two, shall we?	„
	~ Frieza to Piccolo

“	It would be a relatively simple matter to obliterate you all in my current form, but rather than do that, it will be far more satisfying to leave you with one final vision more terrifying than Death! Consider this my parting gift to you! A nightmare beyond even the horrors of hell! Witness my true, ultimate form!!!	„

“	Come now, my boy, I can't have you giving up after such a glancing blow. No, Vegeta, I'm afraid that was but prelude to the horrid torment I intend to inflict on you. Keep your eyes open, dear prince, Hell awaits around the corner.	„
	~ Frieza to Vegeta

“	So the little pests decided to intervene from the sidelines. They just won't rest until I have been pushed to the very limits of my patience... YOU MEDDLING BRATS! I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY SUFFERING THE SAME FATE AS THIS PLANET!!!	„
	~ Frieza to Krillin and Gohan

“	Sorry to keep you waiting... You wanted me at full power, and now here I am...	„
	~ Frieza to Goku

“	Simian...bastard...! I am Lord Frieza. None surpass me. No one even comes close! Etch this into your skull; I am emperor of the universe; the likes of you are only fit to grovel at my feet! Or better still... to die... IN DISGRACE...!!! AT THE HANDS OF YOUR MASTER!!!!!!	„
	~ Frieza to Goku

“	Seven to one is with good odds, would'nt you say boys?	„

Summary

Frieza (フリーザ, Furīza) is the leader of the Frieza Force and the son of King Cold and the younger brother of Cooler, who, unopposed, ruled the 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.

Casually destroyed Planet Vegeta), higher in his Second Form (Superior to a hypothetical Kaioken x10 Namek Saga Goku), even higher in his Third Form (Should be at least x2 stronger than his Second Form, due to each of his forms increasing his power many times. Easily stomped Piccolo, who had previously matched him in his second form), Multi-Solar System level+ in his Final Form (Destroyed Namek while holding back, causing even countless stars behind the planet to be blown away. Stopped a Kamehameha from a Goku using Kaioken x20 with a single hand. A vague perception of his ki was enough to scare Post-Garlic Jr. Krillin and Gohan, with the former not knowing about the other forms of Frieza due to him being killed from the Final Form), Galaxy level with 100% of his power (Twice as strong as his Final Form) | Galaxy level (Stronger than before. Created a Supernova with 10x the energy he used to destroy Namek) | High Universe level (Managed to somewhat compete with Cell Saga Future Trunks, who is superior to a Restrained Super Saiyan Broly) | Low Multiverse level (Powered up after training in Hell for many years and confidently challenged Goku even after having witnessed him fight Kid Buu)

Faster than a Restricted Super Saiyan Broly) | Infinite (Much faster than before)

Lifting Strength: At least Class P, likely far higher (Vastly far superior to Dead Zone Gohan)

Striking Strength: At least Large Star level, higher in his Second Form, even higher in Third Form, Multi-Solar System level+ in his Final Form (Effortlessly brutalized Vegeta with a tiny fraction of his power, and dissipated Goku's Kaioken x20 Kamehameha with a single hand at 50%), Galaxy level with 100% of his power (Traded blows with Super Saiyan Goku and was able to harm him) | Galaxy level | High Universe level (Capable of physical harming people on his level) | Low Multiverse level

Durability: At least Large Star level, higher in his Second Form, far higher in his Third Form, Multi-Solar System level+ in his Final Form (Tanked a Kaio-ken x20 Kamehameha from Goku with only light injuries at 50% of his power, and went on to survive his Spirit Bomb; Survived the Namek explosion, and before he had already endured a Goku's Ki blast), Galaxy with 100% of his power (Traded blows with Super Saiyan Goku) | Galaxy level | High Universe level (Comparable to his own attack power, as he can withstand the force of his own strikes) | Low Multiverse 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) | Infinite (As a Ghost Warrior, is made entirely out of Destron Gas)

Range: Standard Melee Range; Extended Melee Range with tail; At least Interplanetary to Interstellar with ki blasts and attacks | Standard Melee Range; Extended Melee Range with tail; Interstellar with ki blasts and attacks | Standard Melee Range; Extended Melee Range with tail; High Universal with ki blasts and attacks | Standard Melee Range; Extended Melee Range with tail; Low Multiversal with ki blasts and attacks

Standard Equipment: His Scouter, Battle Armor and Hover Pod

Intelligence: Gifted (As the dictatorial of the Universe, 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 Destructo Disc 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 (超ちょう新星しんせい, Chōshinsei), a massive, sun-like sphere of energy that takes some time to charge but has immense power. 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. 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, Daichiretsuzan): 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.
