Frieza Force

The galaxy's most feared tyranny led by the golden tyrant.

The Frieza Force is the military organization commanded by Emperor Frieza. In Dragon Ball Super, following Frieza's resurrection by Sorbet and Tagoma, the Force is rebuilt to restore its former glory. Sorbet saw Frieza's return as essential to restore the Frieza Force to its former glory. After learning that Goku defeated Majin Buu and fought Beerus to a stalemate, Frieza decided to undergo four months of intensive training before setting off for Earth with his army. The Z Fighters held back Tagoma and Frieza's minions long enough for Goku and Vegeta to return from their training session on Beerus's planet. Frieza executed his defeated army for their incompetence just as Goku, Vegeta, Beerus, and Whis arrived.

Lore & Background

The Frieza Force was historically responsible for the destruction of Planet Vegeta. Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta out of both fear of a potential uprising by the Saiyans due to their increasing power, and the prophecy of the coming of the legendary Super Saiyan, and Lord Beerus telling and instigating him to destroy Planet Vegeta. Frieza only knowingly spared Vegeta, Nappa, and Raditz, who were away on a mission when he blew Planet Vegeta up, after telling them it was struck by a meteor.

However, when Bardock made a final stand when Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta, he did not notice the Saiyan's second son being sent to Earth, where he became known as Goku. Following Frieza's resurrection by Sorbet and Tagoma, the two brought Frieza's diced Mecha Frieza form to their ship, where they used their advanced medical technology to restore him to his full organic form. After learning that Goku defeated Majin Buu and fought Beerus to a stalemate, both being the two figures his father warned him never to cross, Frieza decided to undergo four months of intensive training. This led to him achieving a new form, which he dubs "Golden Frieza," before setting off for Earth with his army.
