The author confirmed this is why Frieza's third and most intricate form is only shown for a short time, and joked that three transformations might be one too many. According to the Daizenshuu, Frieza was also inspired by Toriyama's second editor, Yū Kondō.Frieza is one of the villains in the series who possesses an entire range of transformations, each one being quite different than the others. But can Frieza sustain his full power long enough to defeat Darkseid, or will he be crushed by the New God of Apokolips? Toriyama revealed that he did not think to have Frieza transform until about midway through. Frost is revealed to have escaped from the authorities, sometime prior to this arc. [25] While shifting to his next stage, Frieza breaks his battle-jacket, revealing a natural white armor covering his chest and shoulders.

As the tournament commences, Frieza meets his Sixth Universe counterpart Frost (フロスト, Furosuto), a con artist who posed as a hero until a previous contest between the Seventh and Sixth Universes exposed his criminal activities and forced him into hiding. Yū Kondō, Toriyama's second editor from the Saiyan arc until the appearance of Perfect Cell, and Fuyuto Takeda, his third editor from Perfect Cell until the end of the series, said that Dragon Ball hit its peak in popularity during the Frieza arc. Upon being revived, Frieza slaughters a group 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.

[37] The entirety of the song references Frieza, with the single itself rising as high as number two on the Oricon music chart. [43] The Cartoon 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.[44]. But Frieza is saved at the last second by Gogeta, who thwarts his attempt to kill off his former subordinates Chilai and Lemo when they used the Dragon Balls to save Broly's life with Frieza falling back while vowing revenge.

I love the Kai Frieza voice, do you by any chance have the final form Frieza soundboard from Kai?

Violence wasn't the only reason the Dragon Ball Z caught some flak during the American release, as Frieza's androgynous appearance also caused some controversy. [23] While changing shape from his "first-form", each alteration builds on the previous. But the power-up drains his energy much like when he used 100% of his power in his fourth form, due to him not training himself further to become accustomed to the form, and thus is also unsuitable for prolonged combat, as he soon finds himself unable to compete with Goku and Vegeta in their Super Saiyan Blue forms. Often, he's both a playable character and boss, though more frequently the latter.
