"Tien Shinhan didn't make he list because he barely even qualified as an antagonist and hardly even commits any acts of villainy". You know who else never committed any acts of villainy? Android 16
Reign Yeah but 17 and 18 don't really do much bad stuff either except for their future selves. And regardless, 16 never did anything that could be considered villainous in the least what with his gentle nature and the fact he tries to help the heroes by stopping Cell. The only thing that was evil about him was his mission to kill Goku but that became a pretty moot point, since they never get a chance to fight and when they do meet, Goku is far beyond 16's ability to kill, making his mission totally meaningless
My favorite line from the Resurrection F movie was about how Frieza never trained a day in his life. It kinda crashes home how truly terrifying he is since most of the heroes have been training since their childhood.
Balrogfan Charlie at the sane time, training with fucking taguma shouldnt have gotten him that strong. He stomped his shit in almost ever fight. How is that training
Well, thats part of the fear factor. he had no other training besides what was basically a breathing punching bag, yet he managed to reach power that has the ability to nearly top SSJB. This really shows how strong and powerful he could have been if he had trained all his life, like the Z-Fighters. Frieza could have been stronger than Super Saiyan Blue in the early stages of Dragon Ball Z. Thats a terrifying statement that is only made scarier by the fact that it is true.
Garchomp Chump It's the equivalent of watching RU-vid videos and hitting a punching bag. He basically just learned some martial arts and got off his ass for once. The power spike makes sense when you scale it to his original power as basically a couch potato (seriously, he's in his hover chair for a good portion of namek. He doesn't even bother walking)
@@catherinestickels2591 that really puts everything in perspective when u think about. He's so strong, he doesn't feel the need to train until he met someone who trained his whole life, and then died. He comes back, traind, and fight the man again only to find out he's just as strong as u because of how long it's been, and u just barely started training.
And what makes Frieza especially memorable is that he is a rational being perfectly capable of reasoning. While Cell was created to be evil and Majin Buu is just insane, Frieza CHOOSES to be evil. All of his atrocities were committed purely on his own accord. Not because he is a mindless machine only capable of bad deeds.
imthinkinwacky Yeah but no one made Goku and Vegeta shit bricks more than Kid Buu, he put more fear into the two of them than Frieza ever did. Kid Buu's psychotic and unpredictable violent behaviour really defined him, plus he can absorbed you and continue on murdering every one.
Cell wasn't evil, he was doing as he was programmed, so in his mind he was just attaining Perfection by any means necessary, and besides it's again Frieza's genes that motivate his genocidal tendencies. Buu has no morality, just an insane killing machine who just doesn't know any better.
imthinkinwacky Goku offers mercy to many, despite their crimes, and Frieza considered it, weighed it, weighed his actions against his current situation, and chose No. He actually thought about his crimes, considered changing, and decided to remain evil purely because he enjoyed causing suffering more than he wanted anything else.
you guys are right on every point. while freeza's scale on "power" slowly became obsolete as the series went on, no villain really had the same intimidation factor freeza carried.
Allen Love i know right? Goku and vegeta needed a year to just go from SS1 to SS2. Freeza actually did some training for once for just 4 months, and could match a SSGodSS
+A. Mikey B. Goku and Vegeta needed a lot longer than that. Gohan did it in less than a year. Goku did it at a minimum in 4 and bit years, and Vegeta at a minimum of 5 and a bit years.
Ironically, one of the bigger complaints they have about RoF is that Freeza, despite being exponentially more powerful on paper, really doesn't have the same pants-shitting aura he once did.
I feel odd saying this but, I enjoy the way LittleKuriboh played Freeza slightly more than the dub I grew up with. His delivery is flawless and horrifying the way he walks the line between cocky, arrogant brat, to homicidal maniac. Good choice TFS
Not odd at all, I grew up with Linda Young's Freiza, and honestly it was my favorite for the LONGEST time. I would even go as far as to say LittleKuriboh's Frieza is on par or even eclipses Linda Young.
Right... an evil bunny with magic powers that got beaten up and TAKEN FORCEFULLY TO THE MOON IN ONE EPISODE ties with the villan that activated the most iconic representation of anime. You and everyone else here need an appointment with a psychologist.
Hmm, he's arguably the best character of the series though? More interesting than Goku for sure, and except for Piccolo, who else goes through the same amount of character development? And like TFS pointed out, he was a major influence towards all 3 major villains transforming/reaching full power.
Its funny frieza is the only main villain in the series who never steals or copies or absorbs other characters to power up. He just powers up by himself no androids no fusion no nothing just pure frieza.
Kid Buu technically didn't have forms etc he his original form was extremely powerful and Frieza made people more angry than scared while Kid Buu bewildered and terrified Goku and Vegeta.
Frieza should be in the universal tournament. Goku fought in a world tournament when he was dead, why can't Beerus "bargain" to get one of the strongest fighters in the universe?
it wouldn't be that far fetched He makes a deal to have Frieza resurrected in the condition that he has to fight in the tournament if he tries anything sneaky then Beerus will ctrl alt delete him and Beerus doesn't really seem to care if Frieza is alive or not
I don't remember what episode it was of TFS Abridged but someone did something to make Krillin very scaredly go "Oooooh noooo." That is what i just did to your comment. Gold, just like Frieza... Well was like Frieza...
At first I was shocked that Cell didn't make it into the top 3 but when you explained why King Piccolo was #3 it made a lot of sense. Been a long time since I watched the original Dragonball. I forgot how truly evil and sadistic he was. Great list!

@@krbchris26 mine is why beerus? Hes not evil or a villain, I would replace him with zamasu/ goku black since he killed all the gods of destruction and put the Angel's to sleep wanted to destroy all life, instead of android 16 17 and 18 I would have gone with dr. Gero since he created all of them including 13 14 and 15.
14:34 To be fair, Cell himself said that once he had instant transmission, he would go world to world and destroy/rule the universe. And you know what? He could've done it. And you know what else? His entire being was basically a last dying breath of the Red-Ribbon army, and the hatred of one human scientist. That's just badass. =P
Also Kid Buu proved he could do the same when he went world to world looking for Goku and Vegeta. And he was around WAY before Frieza. And with his regeneration he could just blow himself up and move on. True chaotic evil with no fear. But overall Frieza is the best villain.
I want them to do top 24 DB video games, we've seen plenty of Xenoverse stuff but their opinions and analysis of the others could make for some funny moments.
It's also worth mentioning that Frieza essentially crafted Dragonball since the Sayains were planetary mercenaries working under Frieza's rule, sending infants and newborns to lower-level planets, thus giving us Goku's adventure and creating the entire franchise.
Actually, no. If you watch one of the earliest Dragon Ball episodes, Boss Rabbit is an actual villain and does get sent to the moon to make those treats we see. The reason for this fate was because of a Japanese (I think) tale about the rabbit on the moon.
TL;DR - Frieza is the shit. Now for the long explanation: Check it. Frieza is the lynchpin to the ENTIRE SERIES - Dragon Ball, DBZ, GT, and beyond. Kaiser, Lani, and Taka did a wonderful job justifying their reasons why Frieza is the #1 villain in the series, but here's some additional tidbits that help supplement their information: - By destroying planet Vegeta, Frieza sets the series as a whole into motion. If he didn't do that, Goku never hurts his skull, we don't get our protag, and no series exists. - He kills Prince Vegeta. The dude commits Regicide in form of both Father and Son. This big bad killed the big bad of the previous saga and up until this point, Vegeta was seen as the measuring stick for which all others are measured. - WIthout Frieza being the vindictive dick that he is and killing Krillin, we don't get the transformation of Goku to Super Saiyan and even THEN Frieza doesn't even "die" when he's hit with the final blast of their epic, planet-wide battle. - As they mentioned in the video above, we got two movies based off his brother (at least one of them was entertaining). Another transformation above Frieza's final form? That's just Cooler. - Props to Mecha Frieza. Without him we don't get the awe inspiring squash match that was Trunks' first appearance in the series. This is EXACTLY like the Bill Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar build and match at Survivor Series. Lesnar (Frieza for this analogy) ran roughshod over EVERYONE over the course of 3+ years. Sure he's had trouble along the way, but ultimately he came out on top and was a smarmy dick about it. Goldberg (Trunks for this) comes in for the first time in 12+ years (first time ever for newer viewers), says some words, and then UTTERLY DEMOLISHES LESNAR, THE PREVIOUS BIG BAD THAT GAVE EVERYONE TROUBLE, IN LITERALLY 3 MOVES - 2 SPEARS AND A JACKHAMMER. BOOM, SON! It's pretty much the same thing that happened with Trunks and Frieza - Trunks comes in, says some words, and slices Mecha Frieza to bits before sending his blue screen having ass off to hell. - Without Frieza I daresay we don't get that hidden menace underneath Cell's perfectly cool exterior. - While Pikkon squashing the previous big bads was cool as fuck, it wasn't as cool as when Trunks did it. Sorry, Pikkey.
Yeah. Frieza indirectly causes the events of the Saiyan Saga too because if Raditz hadn't sent a message to Vegeta telling him about the existence of the Dragon Balls then Vegeta wouldn't have come to Earth with Nappa so he could try to use them to wish for immortality so he could overthrow Frieza. Frieza's what TV Tropes calls the Greater Scope Villain of Dragon Ball because he caused the events of the series to happen in the first place.
Yes he was. He held the title of God of Earth, which gave him certain abilities and responsibilities, including traveling to the afterlife. And Dende can sense Godly Ki, showing that the job of God does give you Godly Ki, which makes you a God.
Both, Kami and Piccolo reproduce themselves. They're obviously slugs. Just because one can create the dragon balls (which is not King Piccolo) doesn't mean he's a demon. It's just a titles and actual physical beings are not the same. P.S. Kami means god, it's just a name. He's a namikian. Last I checked, gods have penis's
Someone said this once before, and I can't find their comment for the life of me, but I think that there is some consideration to be had for the meta effect Vegeta had as an anti-hero/anti-villain. Freeza is undoubtedly the most effective and iconic villain within the scope of Dragon Ball, but it's worth mentioning the effect that Vegeta had on the landscape of anime as a whole. After the _literally_ unprecedented success of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z in particular, no Shonen story was complete without their own Vegeta archetype. From Sasuke Uchiha, to Shadow The Hedgehog, from Seto Kaiba from Yugioh, all the way back to Bakukgo from BNHA, the degree to which Vegeta's iconic and archetypical rivalry with Goku impacted shonen-oritented Japanese storytelling can hardly be measured. No one but Freeza has the amount of presence as a villain as Freeza does, that can't be argued. But Vegeta single-handedly changed the way _other stories_ were told, beyond the scope of just Dragon Ball, in a way that Freeza couldn't possibly measure up to.
My only complaint is that you forgot to mention the Freeza had never trained a day in his life to reach the amount of power he had in his arc. Not in Part 5 anyways. Seriously, Freeza trained for half a year for the first time ever and had a power level bordering on Super Saiyan Blue/God SS as a result. Perhaps this is why Beerus was surprised at Freeza initial defeat. Maybe he assumed Freeza would become the universe's strongest (after Beerus and Whis).
Tahanok2 It's honestly terrifying so much do that Freeza can never be allowed to be resurrected again lest he train for a full year. Guy would never have an equal ever again.
Whats even funnier is (in super anyway) just by being his punching bag for 4 months, Tagoma gets what is likely the largest power jump in the entire franchise, even dwarfing Frieza's boost itself (in terms of how far he came compared to where he was I mean) Tagoma goes from APPROXIMATELY as strong as Zarbon, to stronger than DBS Piccolo, in 4 months; his power level (oh god i can't believe im using this) goes up by HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS.
But in all seriousness, next year I think DBCember should be on all those negative aspects you've talked about for years. I'm talking: -Garlic Jr. Arc -Dragon Ball Evolution -That Three-Way crossover with One Piece and Toriko that I've been curious about since LAST DBCember. -GT. *Everything* I must know how your brains work.
bijnaderinzien Not that he wasn't on the list, that he didn't MAKE it. Make as in create, knobhead. He's the only one who, at the end of Z, might still consider the saibamen a threat.
igor caique If he has no crown, no subjects, and no kingdom then he's no longer a Prince either. Matter a fact, he was considered a King before a prince, considering his father died while his subjects were still around and possibly before his planet was destroyed. So......yeah.
Dylan Gray Yeah that was one of those scenes that really made him terrifying I mean no other villian was this truly aminouse in the dragon ball, z and GT. Super is mega lackluster, just sayin lol
Did you watch original Dragon Ball growing up though? By the time Cell came around, death was normal in the series. When Krillin and other main characters started dying, it WASN'T normal, and to top it all of he killed Shenron.
I agree with the choices at the top of the list, albeit I actually would be one of the people who would personally rank someone above Freeza, King Piccolo in my case. One thing that I think makes King Piccolo work as a villain is that he's certainly imposing, but they show from square one that he's not wholly invincible. Goku loses hard in the first fight, but he's not totally helpless against King Piccolo; he's out to eliminate Martial Artists because he legitimately comprehends the idea that he can be stopped; the heroes want to try and put it off, but know they inevitably will have to confront him at some point and prepare for it. I also think the final battle with King Piccolo is one of the best in the series in terms of progression and significance. It's the farthest Goku's ever been pushed to win bar perhaps Piccolo Jr. after (Vegeta was a combined effort, so I'm a bit iffy on that), and the fight was never necessarily clearly decided until that end. There was more of a back and forth, with Goku and King Piccolo pulling different strategies or maneuvers to respond to each other until Goku's last blow did the demon in. Most other fights in the series, especially starting with Z, are dominated by one side or the other either in progress or in hindsight, with the winner not necessarily wearing down or improving gradually over their opponent but more gaining the means to swing the fight to the other end. The only cases I can easily/clearly think of where the fight didn't have a blatant upperhand for someone (or reveal afterward that one side was holding back) are Goku vs Jr, Piccolo vs 17, and Goku vs Majin Vegeta. These cases being the ones before Super at least, where they'd had a decade to reflect on shortcomings. Most other fights, including Freeza's, underline the issue of battles favoring inherent power over fighting ability or technique, something I think even more divisive shows like Naruto managed to keep in check (until power ceilings fell apart late in the series). This is a matter of personal preference, but I think a Villain that is powerful-but-not-unstoppable is more effective than one that is presented for the most part as blatantly untouchable as Freeza was. With Freeza, coming into contact with him was basically a death sentence, with everyone going to great lengths to stay as far from him as their circumstances permit. The result for me is that Freeza himself feels less like a presence and more like an endgame. For some people that builds more suspense before the proper confrontation, but I think it makes it harder to get behind for me since Freeza doesn't get to "do" many things to demonstrate his power before the confrontation like King Piccolo did. A lot of the Namek villain action was either through Freeza's forces or Vegeta, with Freeza himself waiting to get results from them until the point where he was the only one available to act on his goals. Besides that, I admit some of it is bias simply because King Piccolo came first, so some of the ground he broke like killing cast members shocking. Not a fault of Freeza's in particular or even fairly, but nonetheless something I have a hard time getting past.
It's a good point. I think it's up to preference, but I would add that Freeza is probably the best example I've seen of, "You CAN NOT beat this guy, wait for help from God." I remember watching part 2 of JoJo and not being super interested in how the hero wins, because the gap in power was so large that I didn't think there was any realistic way to show that growth. But with Freeza I felt that the growth was earned (mostly), even if it took so many episodes to reach it. I also liked how Saiyans getting a power up every time they almost get killed was why Vegeta thinks he can win and then Freeza stomps him until Goku (who trained) showed up and was waaaay stronger.
Comment from the future! So, Freeza's back....... *AGAIN* ........ But don't worry, it's fine! We all thought it was gonna turn out terrible, but it actually turned out great! Dude somehow shot himself up the villain ladder even though he was already at the top. After a second trip to Hell, he's overcome many of his personal flaws and actually develops as a villain. And yes, he is most DEFINITELY still villain. Just because you have to work with your sworn enemies doesn't mean you're on their side. He's learned to be more scheming and reserved, knowing that his power alone won't cut it in light of this expanding multiverse with so many beings above him on the power scale. He's become observant and cunning, more so than ever before, and is actively taking in everything that he's seeing and planning something no doubt evil and devious. This is villain development at some of its best in this franchise.
Comment from even further in the future! Exactly. They even pointed it out as much with Vegeta. He didn't become one of the "good guys" until Buu, only working with the Z-Fighters on Namek and against the Androids/Cell out of necessity, remaining at the very least an antagonist if not a full villain. Same with Freeza. He's 100% still evil, but one of the most well developed baddies in anime, *period*
@@VegetaLF7 Yep. Frieza was a let down in his own movie but they knocked it out of the park in the TOP and Broly. He's still 100% villain but they can even make him the lighthearted kind of humorous that the series is great at now, without turning him into a joke. That is impressive.
that would actually be a hilarious encounter. Frieza: I am the ruler of countless worlds and the strongest fighter in the universe. Tremble before the awesome power of LORD FRIEZA! Monster Carrot: yeah That's cool and all but I'm going to turn you into a carrot now. Frieza: your going to wha... *becomes carrot*
and before someone feels the need to point it out I know monster carrot has to touch someone to turn them into a carrot meaning that frieza could easily kill him with a simple ki blast. but that's not very fun is it?
Who else really wants the finale for Dragonball Super to be an epic fight between Goku and Vegeta? And they actually pull a huge plot twist and make Vegeta win?
Fun fact: Akira Toryiama almost left Vegeta dead in the Frieza Saga until his editor of the time convinced him to keep the prince for future sagas. Even the creator hated the saiyan that much.
Gosh, what a fuckin bittersweet thing hanging over the rest of Z that would have been. Vegeta staying dead at the hands of Frieza? It's a lot to think about, how it'd impact Goku personally and his relationship to the Saiyans. It would've left Vegeta off in a more sympathetic light if we never got to see his blunders in the Android saga 😅 But also, no Majin Vegeta sacrifice!!
@@kalebsantos72 In the super anime i didnt like at all what they did to vegetas character. They just threw his pride away and straight up disrespected him. But in the super manga (moro arc) he got a great development and i really love how much he have changed, piccolo even phrases him for how much he have changed as a person. But still not better then majin vegeta in Z.
While that saga was named after Tien, it was Tiens master and Roshi's rival that was the real villain of the arc. Tien wanted to kill Goku for Goku 'killing' Tao. However even he saw the major flaws with his master in the end.
Wait isn't krillian the only one of goku's friends that hadn't try to kill him???? Bulma-Car Chi-Chi-the helmet blade Tien Chautsu Yamcha Piccolo and Vegeta
Freezer: So, Vegeta is below me, huh? how appropriate... Hey, Vegeta! Vegeta: WHAT!? Freezer: Like a Bitch. Vegeta: (Scream of infinite fury) Meanwhile, in the future.... Trunks: Dad!?
The only problem I had with Freeza was that there was nowhere to go after him! Many of the problems with the villains after him is that there is very little to add to a story after such an amazing and perfect villain has already been defeated. It is almost like Freeza was added to the story too soon.
I've actually been realizing this lately. Namek was the peak of Z for me. The Cell and Buu sagas are so fucking long and meandering and messy. As much as I enjoyed Res F and the TOP, I honestly have been realizing I got all the closure with Frieza I needed on Namek. Everything since then has just been a bonus. Hard to say that about most of my other favorite characters who were taken too soon.
Freeza is just so wonderfully hateable too. You never genuinely dislike him as a character. But there's never a moment when he's anything less than terrifying. The way he acts, the way he talks. As other characters are losing their mind in fear and having these huge life or death battles. Freeza just saunters around and makes the whole thing seem a joke. Just makes it all the more satisfying when Goku beats him down. The moment when he comes back after the Spirit Bomb too is just so beautifully done. To me, Freeza is just the archetype of the perfect villain.
It is quite astonishing how Frieza can be so enjoyably eloquent in his speech, yet so absolutely sadistic and brutal in his actions. I guess that's how other popular villains like the Joker and Darth Vader work...but Frieza is so extremely well-spoken and polite that he's a joy to listen to. And yet his torture of Vegeta was so horrible.
Now that the super anime is done I think its safe to say that freeza definitely still deserves this spot. A lot of people complain about the saiyans of the other universe being so powerful but if you think about it the only reason universe 7 saiyans were as weak as they were was because of freeza. Hell you could say the entire 7th universe was as weak as it is entirely because Freeza stood as a glass ceiling. He was so powerful that until his death no one was even allowed to get stronger than him. Truly one of fictions greatest villains
Y'know, I think I just realized King Piccolo wishing for youth instead of immortality could be good ol' classic hubris on display. He doesn't want the utmost efficiency for his plans, he just wanted to be in his prime taking satisfaction from committing evil. So by not wishing for immortality, he allowed for his own downfall to happen, because he was too prideful to think anyone could ever possibly beat him in his prime.
I know this is just wishful thinking, but I would really like it if TeamFourStar ever does Ressurection F, Golden Frieza is simply Frieza gaining a golden form similar to how Goku gained his golden form against Lord Slug as the Champion of Christmas. I mean, he even celebrates Frieza Day by blowing up Vegeta's new home planet.
Reminder: Although Vegeta is usually viewed as the one playing catch-up with Goku, he has still never lost a head-to-head confrontation with him in canon. Vegeta 3, Kakkarot 0.
Frieza's the best DBZ villain ever made. 'Nuff said. I'm entirely glad they brought him back in RoF and DBS...though I'm kinda hoping he doesn't get a redemption arc in the latter. Because they'd have to stretch things WAY too much to do that...which Super's already done enough, for better or worse.
I don't know, freeza's plan to manipulate the gods fascinates me, I'm willing to give Freeza another shot, the only problem with that however is that he'll probably die beating the death record of Krillin and Yamcha combined
Had to come back to this DBcember, and it was a great revisit, although mentioning Chris Ayers hits different these days. Chris truly was an amazing English VA for Frieza. No hate to Linda Young, since I also love her voice for Frieza, but it’s clear that Chris redefined the voice of Frieza for English speaking audiences… especially since it’s the take that current English VA Daman Mills based his Frieza on. (Of course being Chris’ understudy would push that as well). I hope Daman Mills the best in terms of carrying on for such an iconic villain.
Now that you made me remember the universe survival arc. Can we sit for a moment and think about how terrible Zeno is? He destroyed T runks future just because Zamasu was a bit annoying and in the tournament, the losers will literally lose everything. How can something so cute be so terrifying?
Vegeta: Haha, YES!!! Finally, after years of always being second-best to that clown Kakarot, I, PRINCE VEGETA, shall take my rightful place in the spotlight- *Vegeta sees he only got 2nd* Vegeta: ... Frieza: Oh, apologies Vegeta, were you saying something? Vegeta: ...
Nam is considered a villain? He has never done anything bad that would make him qualify as a villain. His intentions are all to benefit his starving village and Goku and his friends saw him as a friend.
Nam over Spopovitch is the biggest mistake. Videl is no longer a thing in Dragonball, probably because they don't want people to remember how vicious Spopovitch was. No one got such a sustained one-sided beating in the anime.
While antagonist don't nessecarily mean villian.Nam isn't a villlian therefore he shouldn't be in a video called Top 24 Villians (This isn't top 24 Antagonists)
Future Zamasu then therefore Beerus shouldn't be on the list since TFS see him as an antagonist AND they count antagonists as villains for the sake of the list. Granted most antagonists are just honorable mentions here, but the point being is that they counts antagonists and Nam is one.
24: Bunny car 23: His rockin' baby poop green color. 22: His shades can stop the mastered solar flare that "can't be stopped by anything" 21: he looks bomb-ass in with those ears 20: he's actually a carrot in disguise making brothers and sister for himself 19: he can kill anybody with a touch of a finger and a chomp in his mouth. 18: he's hot 17: he's hot 16: he's too hot 15: shit hes so hot he's on fire. 14: he can collect carrots and add them to his ever-spanning collection of friends/brothers/sisters. 13: his badass henchmen. 12: oh fuck hes so hot his fire spread to the car 11: shit the cars gone and the fire burnt one of his henchmen 10: wait stop get some water oh fuck 9: shitnogger the fire spread to Goku's hair 8: fuck fuck fuck goku's bald and now also dead and a carrot 7: it burnt oolong and now theres fucking bacon oh shit 6: why the fuck is this happening 5: SHIT IT BURNT HIS SHADES 4: OH NO HIS EARS ARE GONE 3: GOD DAMMIT NOT HIS BABY POOP GREEN COLORED OUTFIT 2: OH FUCK HE DIED AND IS NOW BURNT 1: His now rockin' new body that he got at the end of the series, sportin' a cooked rabbit type look.
I get this is from last year, but I have to say Zamasu was the most compelling and entertaining villains I've seen. He's the first to not just be evil, but to think he's in the right! And when has a villain fused? The fact that he's so emotionally hellbent on killing all mortals for true peace, it's incredible. He's not greedy, he's not selfish, he thinks he's doing the right thing.
amazing stuff, guys! I only have ONE thing to add: you forgot to mention that Freeza's battle with Goku is also hands down the BEST fight of the entire series, it has it all and its apocalyptic proportions are just overwhelming (at least until later when this concept got old)...
Tmuya It's because actual threats to the Z-Fighters are compared to Frieza, while Raditz was compared to the Saibamen... Abo and Cado was compared to his first form, barely anyone knew about his transformations, let alone the power increases.
The difference is that Raditz wasn't memorable in his own right, and he was only briefly used as a measuring stick within the saga that introduced him. Freeza, however, was used as a measuring stick long after his demise, and his affect on the franchise was leaps and bounds ahead of Raditz.
Brother Shaw wouldn't some of those fights from the top 24 moments in db brush off onto that list, meaning that all the fights on the list from their first dbcember we would already know be at the top?
