AFrieza
Frieza is one of the most iconic villains in Dragon Ball history. A galactic emperor, he commands an army and conquers planets, selling them to the highest bidder. Cold, arrogant, and ruthlessly intelligent, Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta — home of the Saiyans — fearing their growing power. His transformations reveal increasing levels of cruelty and strength, especially in his final form. Though defeated by Goku on Namek, Frieza returns multiple times, driven by revenge. Even in defeat, his influence remains one of the darkest in the series.
