King Cold

What's a Goku? King Cold

In the anime Dragonball Z and Dragonball Z Kai, King Cold is the father of Frieza and Cooler. He stands much taller than Freeza, and is also believed to be more powerful. He and his men found Frieza drifting through space after being caught in Namek's explosion, barely alive and with one of his arms, both of his legs, and a chunk of his head missing. He made Frieza into a cyborg, and Frieza told him to go to Earth so he could get his revenge.

However, as Frieza was about to send his henchmen after Gohan, Krillin, Piccolo, Vegeta, Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaotzu, Trunks suddenly appeared from the future. After Trunks killed Frieza, King Cold knew he had no chance of winning, so he asked Trunks to join him and take Frieza's place at his side. Trunks refused, so King Cold asked Trunks to give him his sword, believing that it was the reason he beat Frieza. Trunks handed his sword over to King Cold, who almost immediately attacked him with it, but Trunks was easily able to block the attack, and shot an energy wave through King Cold's kidney, smashing him into a rock wall. King Cold begged for his life, but Trunks destroyed him with an energy wave. He then blew up King Cold's spaceship.

Since his death, Cold has appeared in several episodes, generally those involving H.F.I.L., in other words the Dragonball version of the underworld. In the Great Saiyaman Saga, King Cold, Frieza, Cell, Recoome, Burter, Jeice, and Guldo were terrorizing ogres in search of a way out, however Goku and Pikkon came to stop them. After easily defeating Cell, Pikkon elbowed King Cold in the stomach, bringing him to his knees. He was then locked up in a cell with Frieza, Cell, and the Ginyu Force.

In the Kid Buu Saga, King Cold appeared alongside a large number of ogres and dead villains, watching the fight between Goku and Kid Buu.

He appeared as a playable character in Dragonball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3.&nbsp
