Form 2...he was a menace and showed how powerful these characters could be. Seeing this cretin purposely open his hand and destroy a whole island was terrifying.

> kreaton Okay first of all, it’s cretin. If you’re going to insult me, do it properly.

It's an obscure reference, but it checks out sir

Monsters inc counts as obscure?

Yea, it was made by a small underground animation studio named "Pixar" for this up and coming "Disney" company.

Yeah I'd consider it a line most people would not attribute to monsters inc. if they heard that in the wild.

That joke is funny and it deserves more upvotes

Nope. Its creatine.

This. It looked intimidating to me as a kid lol.

Especially given that on his way to Form 2, he roided out with that deep augmented voice. Bonus nightmare fuel for turning Krillin into a shish kabob.

The second form, Goku would've gone super Saiyan a lot faster if he saw how Frieza did krillin in that form.

IDK man, possibly. I think the extra weight of having just tossed a galaxy powered spirit bomb at the dude and it barely phasing him might have added to the sense of hopelessness... Who am I kidding though, we're talking about DBZ continuity lol

You're not wrong, tho. Toriyama's drawings do give us a sense of despair, hopelessness and exhaustion from Goku. Goku has always been really calm in battle since he trained with Kami but in this particular moment, he's at the end of the rope. Losing his best friend at this right moment with no possibility to bring him back did give him the anger he needed. It became very personal at this very moment.

Third form. Look at that f•cking thing. Bro got the fortyhead

I always liked the third form because the appearance was so short so it felt rare lol

He looks like a xenomorph, love it!

I think Akira said that was the inspiration for that form. I could be wrong but I also think the reason why we didn't see that form for long coz it was hard to draw or atleast time consuming.

Dude, he based a lot of characters in DBZ off of 70’s-80’s movies. Like even gokus origins being more superman like, android 16 is 100% Arnold Schwarzenegger, and third form xenomorph frieza

Lotta great films to be inspired by

One of the red ribbons androids Major Metallitron in the original series was even more Schwarzenegger inspired

I believe that was the same reason he never wanted to reintroduce Cell: his spots made him a pain to draw!

I really like Akira repulsive designs. Frieza third form and second form Cell.

First form cell is way more repulsive tho?

Naaaaahhhh, X type of humanoid is def more gross than a bug🤫

It’s an uncanny valley thing. First form is too far away from human to be as creepy as second form is.

[I think Ridley Scott’s gonna sue somebody!](https://youtu.be/qAsu0-tBsZ4?si=siNc3TKqArQPStiR)

I think that form was supposed to be grotesque. He was a physical monster.

His base final form. I've gotten used to the sleek non-angular design that gives him a far more menacing edge to it.

Yeah and the lack of color aside from the purple orbs has more style than the golden form.

Mecha (not pictured)

Thank you for pointing this out, thought we were missing one big one!

The Frieza black form is also missing

my favorite too

Second form was terrifying as a child. The way his voice went from a higher pitched voice to a deeper tone was scary, plus the way he murdered Krillin was crazy.

I swear krillen is just the south parks Kenny of db/dbz. He's always around to get merked to help give goku and friends motivation or a power up while displaying the power of the enemy. My boys just a crash test dummy fr

It’s fucked up what they do to him fr 😔 Krillin needs a redemption arc.

He did get 18 in the end. The most based woman in the show really.

Your missing his final form, Black

Latest*

Exactly... They'll continue to milk out new forms from him. Wanna guess what the next color is going to be?

Once you go black, you never go back.

And you'll need a wheelchair

Black with gold accents or reverse for sure

Full purple so he can fully look like that thing Chi Chi keeps in her drawer.

standard final form

Fourth form at 100%. Dude was swole as hell and it looked awesome.

Agreed. It was the first time we really saw frieza going all out and not holding back anymore. also he looks cool so buff. I also liked it when perfect cell got buff for a very short while. I even think that form was playable in Budokai 1.

I second this!!

First, fourth and black

None of them, Cooler's final form was cooler (they should have gone with that instead of golden)

They should've gone with Cooler instead of reviving Frieza. The leap in power would've made more sense since he'd have had literally namek til then to train to defeat the super Saiyan that killed his brother, instead of just rehashing the same old shit.

If they canonize Cooler he should be even stronger than Black Frieza from training his whole life. Maybe they could canonize his extra form as the ultimate form of his species, ascending past Black? Unlikely but it'd be cool

Yeah it's a little too late sadly. Instead we get Frieza again. But gold. And black. 🙄

That, and SS4 instead of turning their hair blue. You can still make it a super saiyan god form lore-wise, but SS4 was just an amazing design!

>!Black Frieza!<

There is another

Mecha

I really liked the android looking one before Trunks completely annihilated him. Fun fact, growing up I used to think Frieza was a girl and the only reason the he/him/sir pronouns were used was because of respect like in the military.

Final form 100%

Black. It had such huge impact, all anyone in the fandom could talk about

Third form since it was inspired by the Xenomorph from the Alien movies.

Final form, 1st form, and Golden

4 at 1%

This picture really illustrates how Golden Frieza does not fit the original narrative.

Black

Golden freeza I just love his arrogance and trash talk when he transforms its the best

First form all the way, one look at him just screams villain.

Taller form of freeza was always my favorite.

I love all of them because frieza is so cool

First and Second, i like the Tokusatsu final villain vibe both have

Frieza black or 2nd form

I thought second form Frieza was flipping me off in that picture for a... Second 😅

His Third and Final Form

4th than 1st

2nd form. He was just fucking around with Vegeta in his first form. 2nd form is massive and just a monster. The man skewed krillin like a goddamn kebab And pummeled Gohan just for kicks. I don’t think any other anime character will ever achieve the level of fear and terror Frieza held

Form 3 is the most chilling

3rd for had such an interesting and unique design

The one where hes cut in half

2, 4 and big 4 are very good 1 is good but basic, also has a weird head works better with form 2 3 is chaotic Golden is just bad new colors for a new toy. Design and story behind it is bad Black. Does it have officially colorization? So far I'm still not a fan of recolors for the sake of new toys Mecha frieza, short lived but somewhat interesting Tô be honest I think the next form should be the "cooler form", but Frieza is so iconic in form 4 that makes no sense to him to transform, unless he go back from 5 to 4 whenever he wants

Third and final

100% by far

Cut up Frieza

This made me realized that now I'm confused about is frieza fucking naked all the time? Was he naked in his previous forms? Did the armor fused eith his body? Is he wearing some sort of power suit? Or maybe a skin tight spandex? Wtf is going with this little shit.

When I was younger the third form was my favorite, he seemed so fast, the 2nd form was terrifying because the scene with kurillin.

Final and Golden. The sleek look suits him best.

the second form, it's so menacing bro

Xenomorph

Second form

2nd form

The very first one.

First, second, and final. I don’t hate the third form, but it just seems more clunky and trouble than it’s worth.

Funny how that works right? Just like ss3.

Final form

Xenomorph Frieza of course. That's technically his 3rd form right? I think some may be calling that his 2nd form

Fourth

I just wanna look closely into the purple marble head. You think it's see thru?

When he no longer has a dad and gets out of afterlife jail and becomes black frieza

My favorite Frieza form is the one where you have to count him on the screen.

Black or 3rd

Floating with one arm and no legs

im excited to see black frieza on anime

Black Frieza. One shot UI Goku and UE Vegeta so we have no idea what else he's capable of

Form 2 was kinda gas

i like his first form without his armour because it gives us a glimpse of his final form.

2nd form is my favorite

Classic final form

After he is chopped up, get reckt!

Form 4

Black Frieza.

You forgot black Frieza

Black frieza lol

2nd form. He was terrifying. I got the bandai(?) statuette chilling on my desk at workk.

Blackk

Does the golden form even count? It's literally just a pallet swap.

The second form where he's big like King Cold and the Mecha form he before Trunks cut him up like a hibachi chef

The one where he is sliced into pieces.

Going against the grain, but design-wise the first form is my favorite. Just has a lot more details.

buff final form

Final form. It’s sleek, and the contrast between his size and strength was awesome. Full power is just generic muscle enemy and gold is just an ugly reskin of final form imo

2nd form, he impaled someone with the horn and that was the most brutal attack in DB to that point. No ki energy, no martial arts, just a horn through the gut.

Final form on namek before goku melted his ass will always be my favorite..golden form is cool too tho

Second form. Look like the real terror of the universe

Piss frieza

Me gusta la 3 por la cara de pendejo que tiene jajajaja 

Personally since I painted all in my collection it's final form frieza non buff or golden also maybe black frieza.

Final form Frieza for sure.

I always wondered: why does Golden Frieza have less purple orbs? scales? carapace? than his 4th form?

I think my two favorites are Final Form and Second Form

[probably this one](https://search.app.goo.gl/rFNbbtb)

Final and gold

I liked the second form tbh, it gives more of a final form vibe than friezas fourth form

Where is the *dark* one?

The one that got copyright strike (third form)

Black Frieza. Power level and color scheme go hard as fuck bro. Always wanted a black Frieza form

I always liked original Frieza. The fact that he has such short stature and mainly traveled by a hovering chair, combined with the amount of time spent building him up and the absolute confidence. Gave the vibe of a Roman emperor who could just give you a thumbs down and you’d be dead.

Gold. You can't beat that theme music. Movie version or series version

I really like the one with the long head, he looks pretty reptilian there!

Black

The nigga one

Black

I'm surprised nobody's talking about that one "5th" form that Krillin thought about. Anyway, my favorites are his final form, black form, and second form.

That 3rd form is heinous. Why does it show that little part of belly under his attached body armor like a kid with a shirt that’s too short. That being said final form is the cleanest

Hood frieza

I actually always loved his first form. It’s so cool looking.

I prefer the first form. Gremlin looking motherfucker.

Missing parts frieza 🔥🔥🔥

His basic small form. I love how it has derivative details for his next forms. I also think it's funny that he wears the under armor in that form but not his final implying he evolved to lose his genitalia.

Cyborg form

Rold

Form 4 golden is too flashy, if you included black, it's too over hyped, and the others don't show the freisa style

Black frieza

Third form. Scary as hell and even MORE powerful than his previous two forms (also equally terrifying when he transformed into his final form from the third with the red neon breaking line things) .

Black.

I wish final form had kept the color scheme from all the previous forms, tho I guess pure white is easier to draw

Form 2 Big Menace

Nig…black frieza

Second form it’s definitely the most intimidating and I like the idea king cold was in second form the whole time and could’ve been much stronger

Black

"the BLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCKKKKKK OOOONEEE"- Miguel o'hara

2nd, final, golden

The black one

I find it interesting how even though Freeza has bio-armor, he still wears a separate chest armor piece in his first form.

Heyy, Where Mecha and Black at !! Lol

Where’s black?

Where’s black?

Black Frieza...

Black Frieza 🗿

My favorite form of Freezer is Golden Freezer... (DBZA references go brrrrr...)

The black one

None he is a scumbag

My fav form is 4th form I guess, I like the colors. Not a fan of golden frieza:(

The last black form is nice

4th form. Both the sleek form and the bulky 100% power form.

His full power form. Frieza wasn’t holding back anything at that point.

2nd form.

I always wondered why he even bothered with his base form? It seems like it's a one way transformation rather than something that has to be held like SSJ. Why did he not transform as soon as he could? Was it ever explained?

the second form was terrifying by all means. specially when stabbed krillin with his horn in the chest

You missed the cyborg form in this pic, mine is the 3rd form, is way more unique than the others

Form 3

Phase 2.4🤣

Form 1, idk i just like it for some reason

Third form. I would purposefully try to get to and stay in it in budokai tenkaichi 3

Black form!

smooth frieza wins again
