Biography
Biography
Frieza runs a planetary conquest business in which the Saiyans were just one service among several. His narrative force comes not from his power but from his calm: he negotiates, stalls, almost apologises, and destroys a planet in the same sentence.
He is the only antagonist the franchise brings back repeatedly without weakening him, because he had never trained. The day he does, four months are enough to make his return credible.
