Imagine if two dudes were in a fist fight and one says, "ok you're pretty evenly matched with me. I've got a gun in my room though. you won't stand a chance once I go get it." And the other dude just stood there and let him go get his gun. That's how stupid Piccolo, Krillin, and Vegeta are being right now.
To be fair, their attacks probably wouldn't have worked, anyway. Krillin would have been a flop no matter what, and the other two got man-handled by Frieza in his weaker form.
Glacial Self I think it’s slow for us the viewers go see But to them it’s like crazy faster That’s my head canon Not only that I’m gonna pretend other anime don’t do this same exact fhing
@@mystic1410 Every theory you come up with is just an apology for the writer's lack of consistency. This is DBZ, it just takes suspension of disbelief to enjoy.
Most villain's nowadays just glow to transform not deform their limbs and muscles and endure massive pain frieza started to scream once the power surge increased the size and shape of his head
@JBcoolbreez No vegeta wouldnt do that it fits his character to let people power up but the other guys are just being lazy for not charging their attacks.
@@jordandennis6794 Not when you have strict/unrealistic dead lines. Remember that said-animators have to eat, sleep, bathe, etc. They have lives outside of their job. If a character/entity takes too much time to animate/draw for just a few frames, they will either A) Not animate the character frequently (or at all). Or B) Take extra time/care into the intricate details, resulting in disturbed deadlines.
This is the *scariest* transformation for me. Not because of the tension. Not because of his sheer power. Because of the transformation itself. Its...grotesque. Its like he's not screaming like all the other transformations, its like he's in pain. Horrible, agonizing pain. His body contorts and bends in ways that are just... *wrong* . It just terrifies me.
That transformation sounded so painful between the shaping of his muscles and his head that must have been excruciating to endure but for the sake of power most will go through agonising pain won't they
Actually Freiza created the first 3 forms as "safety switch" to reduce his godlike powers in his original form making it more controllable. So in that sense he went through excruciating pain to make himself weaker as he never had any desire or need to become more powerful.
Venky Wank no toriyama stated that, his original form is his final form he fought goku with, he created the other 2 too suppress his power. it’s also in the guide books
I always wondered, does Frieza choose what he looks like or are these "natural" to him? and more so, when transforming to his final form, he breaks out of his shell, so to speak... so when he wants to power down from final form to 3rd form, does he have to regrow that shell and turn ugly again?
@@simonsez6200 I asked about that on the dragon ball subreddit along with other questions about his morphology and got severely downvoted for it because that's all reddit is good for
New heads don't understand how terrifying this shit was back when this was on tv with no way of knowing what was gonna happen next. I used to be distracted in 2nd grade because I was scared that Frieza was gonna kill all of them, I thought Piccolo with the power up was gonna be enough. Even Recoome was scary, the way he did Gohan 😂
I remember the first time I saw Frieza fighting on TV. He was terrifying especially as he went through the transformations. His final transformation had something of an impact on me, I expected something bigger and more monstrous and yet he turned into a smaller more human form that was far more powerful. I assume that was the creator's goal, to subvert that expectation. Ever since then, I have been happier with individuals who transform in a similar way as opposed to becoming bigger and more deformed (the former rather than the latter). Part of this is pragmatism because one disadvantage of being bigger is that you make an easier target to hit, part of it is a personal preference.
Yeah. we know in hindsight transforming creates one hell of a ki barrier (as Trunks found out against Cell), but there's no way Piccolo could know that. At least ATTEMPT to stop it instead of standing there staring like a lobotomized evolutionary dead end.
Piccolo's special beam cannon, Krillin's Destructo Disk, Vegeta's Gallick Gun, and maybe Gohan's Kamehameha all at once could probably melt that fool, but hey... they gotta fight fair apparently.
Dominic's Creative Films it’s not a matter of fighting fair, it’s a matter of them not having a chance to do anything. The anime really likes playing up the transformations, and so they extend them to get more reaction shots and the such. However in reality Frieza transformations only take a few seconds in canon. None of the fighters would have had the chance to charge any of their best attacks in just a measly few seconds.
@@spartanq7781 Yeah, it was mostly Frieza toying around with Vegeta and then with Picolo. Eventually Gohan and Krilin doing something as well, but still not much :/
@@Hardcore_Remixer Freeza tormenting Vegeta was when it finally became interesting. Piccolo showing up does absolutely nothing for his character or the story.
They did great voicing frieza, the way he kind of babbles and screams in pain while he transforms really helps it go the extra mile and helps to emphasize just how terrifying frieza is.😱😱😱😱🤩
For anyone wondering why characters wait for transformation, it's for the viewers. In many of those, the transformation is almost instantaneous in-universe.
It's not instantaneous. And even the transformation itself was instantaneous, he already announced he was gonna transform and you can see there was actually time where he's about to transform and the Z Fighters are all reacting meaning they can still do something in that moment, but choose not to. But no, it's not instantaneous, lol. As Frieza says, "What do you think? Was it worth the wait?"
@@GrubKiller436 They're almost certainly referring to how these things are shown in the manga, which is the original interpretation. The manga tends to be a lot faster paced so everything that is drawn out in the anime is usually instantaneous in the manga. Another good example is Nappa killing Piccolo; the anime takes its time whereas the manga shows it being a last minute move.
I wonder if someone punched frieza during his transformation would he go back to his second form or stay in the middle of the transformation would be hella funny to see😂
@@kiwi_2_official That would be an awesome amazing intimidating Frieza, but I don’t think Frieza can stop at 2.5. But if Black Frieza was in his 3rd form, he would literally be a Xenomorph.
What the f*** are you idiots talking about, Freiza literally says to Piccolo in this video that he's "already transformed once before he arrived" 0:12 Before this video, Freiza is seen wearing his armour and buffs out of it, not a transformation, still in his 1st form, he just increased his power. He then transforms into a giant version of himself, *HIS FIRST* Transformation, Before Piccolo arrived, which is what he was talking about and is what we see at the start of the video, *2nd stage, First Transformation* 1:39 Oh would you look at that it's his *2nd transformation* ....
if you think about it, each of freiza's four forms, mimics the sayin forms, the first two forms are fairly similar looking with the third form resembling ss3 with the long head/hair, and even freiza's final form is accurate(muscular, slim, uses different colors than the other forms, and is a massive power boost)
It always pissed me off how the Z-Fighters just stand there and watch as Freiza transforms into more powerful forms and how they take turns fighting him one on one. They should jumped him while he was transforming
I think the trope is, "Transformation is a free action" in most cases. That said, and I don't think that them trying to attack Freiza while he's transforming would've worked: consider how strong he is already compared to the fighters present; if they tried to attack him, it probably wouldn't work, especially when you remember that his first 3 forms we get to see are not his original self, and were meant to restrict his power rather than enhance it. At this point in the series, Freiza was considered to be one of the most powerful beings in the known universe, and his battles with Vegeta, Krillin, Gohan and Piccolo are more about driving into their heads hoe hopeless trying to fight him is because of just how much more powerful he is than they are
@@davidwhitted289 Considering that Trunks, who was leagues more powerful than Cell when he was becoming perfect, couldn't inflict any damage, I'm certain that #16 attacking Cell while transforming wouldn't have done anything either.
People are commenting on how his form represents a Xenomorph while I’m over here going damn that’s a radio voice you hear at 2 am introducing contemporary and smooth jazz very early in the morning on an FM station.
When i was child seeing frieza transformed,i was really impressed. Thats why if trasnforming thing become unspecial nowdays, but before it was really cool. Dbz is best !!!!!
People talking about "why not just beat him up mid-transformation?" Bruh would *you* walk up and punch someone transforming into an *alien dragon* ?? In order to do that you need two things to happen 1) Be brave enough to approach this guy while he's doing something you don't even understand 2) Not be so brave that you're gonna let this guy transform just to see how strong you are. That's a very thin parameter that few Dragon Ball characters meet.
First Form Frieza- high pitch voice. Second form- slightly deeper. Third form- base in his voice. Fourth form- gets shorter in height, high pitch voice again but power skyrockets.
Don't forget that his fourth form is also the one he was born in, making it his original form. At this point in the series, all 3 of his other forms are designed to suppress his full power rather than make him stronger
This is my favorite transformation of frieza he looks awesome and scary af. Not gonna lie though it looks like it was kinda painful for him to transform into this form I mean dudes head literally was elongated and made crunching and breaking noises lol but still the end result was very impressive
Let the souls of my victims howl in despair, for u will see what no one else has ever lived long enough to witness: the second transformation of the Mighty Frieza.
The thing that I like about Kai/Chris Ayres's 2nd form Frieza voice is that he actually sounds more like 1st and final form Frieza compared to Z/Linda Young's Frieza.
It's definitely his most unique form as well. He spent a shorter time in this form than any of his others, but it's still very memorable for how out there and ugly it is compared to his other forms
Now imagine the pain he'd have of having to transform straight from 1st form frieza to full power frieza in one sitting or standing if you'll pardon the pun lol
