8. Third Form

Looks Like Toriyama Was A Huge Fan Of H.R. Giger’s Works

  • Debut: Frieza’s Second Transformation (Episode 82 of Dragon Ball Z)

As the fight with Frieza initiates on Planet Namek, the Z Warriors remain clueless about the challenges ahead. It is only when Frieza discloses that he maintains his basic form at all times and possesses the ability to trigger horrifying transformations, thereby significantly amplifying his power, that they comprehend the magnitude of the battle before them.

His immense power intimidates the Z Warriors, despite the fact that his Third Form appearance might be considered a bit over-the-top. For those not acquainted with this series, upon first glance, Frieza’s Third Form could easily be mistaken for an animated depiction of the Xenomorph, and it’s not hard to see why.

7. First Form

Not That Intimidating To Behold, But This Is Intentional

  • Debut: Brood of Evil (Episode 44 of Dragon Ball Z)

Despite Frieza’s imposing demeanor, there were doubts about how such a petite and slender being could be among the galaxy’s most potent characters. Yet, as soon as he emerged from his floating vehicle, it became clear that matters had quickly turned grave.

Following a demonstration of his power in this initial form, he casually mentions that he has several more forms at his disposal to amplify his strength. This surprising disclosure shifts the context of his seemingly non-threatening appearance and underscores the fact that there’s still much more potential he possesses.

6. 100% Full Power

A Buff Version Of His Final Form That Looks Too Bulky

  • Debut: A Final Attack (Episode 98 of Dragon Ball Z)

Recognizing that he had to give everything he had to overcome Goku in his Super Saiyan form, Frieza chose to go full force. He took his time to build up energy, reaching 100% strength, which made King Kai wonder why Goku wasn’t taking action as Frieza increased his power level.

Goku’s response revealed that the surge of power as a Super Saiyan ignited his combat instincts, indicating he desired to battle Frieza at his maximum might. Though Frieza appeared menacing in this form, his muscle bulk grew to an astonishing level. It was intriguing how he managed to maintain his speed, considering that increased muscle can pose a challenge for fighters lacking precision in their strikes, as demonstrated by Super Saiyan Third Grade.

5. Mecha Frieza

Frieza Is Restored Using Mechanical Parts By His Father

  • Debut: The Mysterious Youth (Episode 119 of Dragon Ball Z)

Overhearing the stunning revelation that Frieza, along with another equally formidable adversary, was descending upon Earth left me utterly astounded. The Z Warriors, who had been basking in a false sense of security after believing Goku had vanquished their foe, now stood shell-shocked and uncertain about confronting this new villain.

After leaving, they noticed that he had found a way to stay alive. King Cold had collected his son’s fragments and fashioned a new body for him using synthetic materials. Despite remaining as powerful as before, Mecha Frieza was brought to a halt by the arrival of another enigmatic Super Saiyan who dismembered Frieza in one of the most embarrassing scenes in the show.

4. Second Form

A Large And Imposing Form That Intimidates The Z Warriors

  • Debut: Fighting Power: One Million?? (Episode 78 of Dragon Ball Z)

Following Frieza’s disclosure of his ability to metamorphose, the Z Warriors could only watch in shock as this combatant grew larger and stronger than any of them had seen before. With his horn, he impaled Krillin, and if not for Piccolo’s swift intervention, he would have caused severe injury to the others.

Observing from afar, I couldn’t help but feel a shiver run down my spine as Piccolo’s fused Namekian form loomed large. The transformation gave him a fighting chance against the fearsome Frieza. Yet, it wasn’t long before Frieza unveiled an unexpected depth to his power, snuffing out any flicker of hope that he could be defeated at that moment.

3. Golden Frieza

A Regal Form That Looks Great, If A Bit Gaudy At Times

  • Debut: Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’

Following his return in “Super”, it became evident that Frieza required a fresh transformation to battle the Saiyans who had achieved divine energy on par. This transformation was realized with the emergence of Golden Frieza, a new form which Frieza eagerly wanted to display to the two Saiyans he harbored intense hatred towards.

In Dragon Ball Super, Frieza primarily resorts to this impressive form. Although it might seem less impactful due to its frequent use, the design remains exceptional and effectively conveys his immense power growth.

2. Final Form

An Iconic Form That Needs No Introduction

  • Debut: Dende’s Demise (Episode 84 of Dragon Ball Z)

There’s an undeniable intimidation associated with Frieza’s “Final” form that leaves fans in awe. Its streamlined design and overwhelming display of strength leave no doubt as to why Vegeta broke down in tears upon his inability to defeat Frieza following this metamorphosis.

In my eyes as a dedicated fan, it’s clear that without Goku’s Super Saiyan transformation, our Z Warriors would have been outmatched in this battle. Even with all the innovative transformations Frieza has acquired, there’s an undeniable charm about his original form that keeps us fans captivated!

1. Black Frieza

An Amazing Form That Shows How Far Frieza Has Come

  • Debut: The Universe’s Strongest Appears (Chapter 87 of Dragon Ball Super)

Anticipation is building among fans as they eagerly look forward to the appearance of Black Frieza’s transformed form, highlighting the immense power he has gained since his revival following the Tournament of Power. Not only does this dark-toned form boast an impressive aesthetic, but its strength is beyond comparison, capable of defeating both True Ultra Instinct Goku and Ultra Ego Vegeta with a single blow.

It’s evident that this antagonist is set for greater exploits in the manga, and given the popularity of “Dragon Ball Daima,” it’s clear there remains a vast audience eager for an official follow-up to the storyline of “Dragon Ball Super.” This remarkable transformation could significantly shift the balance of power within “Dragon Ball Super” and compel the Saiyans to surpass their current limits, confronting and eliminating this danger.
