Quick Answers

fandom logo What is the significance of King Cold's inconsistent height? toggle section King Cold, a villain in the Dragon Ball series, has a notably inconsistent height. The manga portrays him as almost triple the height of Mecha Frieza, but his size in the anime fluctuates. In Budokai Tenkaichi 3, he matches Frieza's Second Form in height. Yet, in the second Jaaku Mission trailer for Dragon Ball Heroes, his height changes again. He is as tall as second form Frieza at his smallest, and at his largest, he is among the tallest Dragon Ball villains. Provided by: Fandom Who are the members of King Cold's family in the Frieza Force? toggle section The Cold Dynasty, recognized as the Wicked Bloodline, comprises King Cold, his sons Frieza and Cooler, and his grandson Kuriza. They are integral members of the Frieza Force. The family lineage also traces back to an ancestor, Chilled. Notably, King Cold and Frieza are mutant members of their species, renowned for their formidable power and ruthlessness. Provided by: Fandom How does King Cold's power level compare to other characters in the series? toggle section In the Dragon Ball series, King Cold's power level is substantial. The Z Fighters in the anime noted that his power level surpassed Frieza's, although Mecha Frieza was not at full strength at that time. King Cold's power was likened to Goku's when Future Trunks defeated him swiftly without allowing him to retaliate. Provided by: Fandom Who took over the leadership of the Frieza Force after King Cold? toggle section The leadership of the Frieza Force transitioned from King Cold to Frieza following King Cold's retirement. This significant change, marking the shift from the Cold Force to the Frieza Force, took place in Age 732. Provided by: Fandom What is the final form of King Cold and how does it impact his abilities? toggle section King Cold's final form remains unconfirmed, but it's suggested that his horned form is his true state. He might possess a 'Super Evolution' beyond this. His transformations are believed to enhance his abilities, contrasting Frieza's forms which are designed to decrease. His power level in his known form surpasses Frieza's, and his transformation boosts his Attack and Evade stats. Provided by: Fandom

Appearance[]

Cold at the end of his time as emperor in Dragon Ball Super: Broly

Cold at the end of his time as emperor in Dragon Ball Super: Broly

King Cold's height is inconsistent, at his smallest his height is similar to that of second form Frieza, while at his largest King Cold ranks among the tallest villains in the Dragon Ball universe - with Mecha Frieza only reaching his knee. His physical appearance is very similar to his sons', looking nearly identical to Frieza in his second form, with the exception of him being even more muscular. King Cold possess horns that have lines on them. His skin is darker than Frieza's, but lighter than Cooler's. He wears the standard Battle Armor over his chest, along with a black cape. The armor is blue in Dragon Ball Z, but brown in Dragon Ball GT. The gem plate on his head is colored dark teal.

At the time when his role as emperor of the Cold Force came to an end King Cold's skin was purple, the gem on his head was purple, the armor on his wrists was white and he wore a red cape, he also wore black battle armor with yellow sections.

Despite the fact that both of his sons have demonstrated the ability to transform, King Cold is never shown transforming in the series, though the Dragon Book states that he appears as the type who would be able to transform.[4]

Personality[]

King Cold waits for Frieza to recuperate from his injuries

King Cold waits for Frieza to recuperate from his injuries

King Cold has a calm, high-class attitude with elegant mannerisms. Though not nearly as sadistic as his son Frieza, he also displays a great deal of arrogance and impatience. He believes highly in the superiority of his family, as he becomes shocked and angered that Frieza could have been bested on Namek, wishing to avenge him, and further delighted to see Frieza's repair into Mecha Frieza succeed. According to Cooler in the dub of Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge, King Cold had "spoiled Frieza rotten." In Broly, Cold pats Frieza on the back, though Frieza doesn't appear to return the gesture of affection, frowning and later brushing Cold's hand off of him when introducing himself to the Saiyans. He was, however, indicated to be somewhat critical of his son, as evidenced by his repeated put-downs to Frieza when the latter was fighting Future Trunks, and may have also been physically abusive due to Frieza's admission that prior to Goku, King Cold was the only one to inflict pain on Frieza/make Frieza dust himself off. Frieza in the same bit also described him as "loving", although he may have meant that sarcastically.

Despite his alleged high concern for his family, he seems to have no qualms for attempting to replace family members if they are killed with the person who killed them, as evidenced by his attempting to get Future Trunks to join him after the latter killed Frieza, although this could have been a ruse, as he believed that fighting Future Trunks was not to his advantage (at least as long as he was in possession of his sword).[3] He is also shown to be somewhat restrained compared to Frieza, as when the latter recklessly attempted to vaporize Future Trunks with a Death Blaster, King Cold exclaimed out of shock that his son will "destroy [them] all."

Cold appears to have an affinity for weapons. Before attacking Future Trunks with his own sword using Dirty Slash, he admires the blade and remarks that the weapon was forged by a master. Cold may have been responsible for the Cosmic Suit, as well as the added armaments of Mecha Frieza's Full Armor in Super Dragon Ball Z. However, Cold himself does not appear to use swords or other armaments in combat.

King Cold and his son Frieza on their ship heading towards Earth

Despite being the head of the Frieza Force, King Cold's role and very existence are unknown to all but his own family. King Cold does not make his presence as the organization's leader known to any of its members, running the organization from behind closed doors and utilizing his son Frieza as its public face.[3] While Frieza's own henchman are unaware of Cold's existence, as shown when even Vegeta (an ex-employee of Frieza's) did not know about Cold (likely due to King Vegeta never telling him before his death), a select few henchmen are directly under his control, and a few were aware of Cold's existence, such as Sorbet.

Nonetheless with his confidence in both his and his family's strength in Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’, it is revealed that King Cold is quite informed about the universe, as he warned Frieza not to challenge either Beerus the Destroyer and Majin Buu, showing that he is aware that their power is far greater than either himself or his sons.

King Cold has a level of familiarity with and fear towards Super Saiyans (possibly due to his ancestor Chilled, who was mortally wounded by a time-displaced Super Saiyan Bardock). Upon witnessing Future Trunks' transformation, he simply stated his acknowledgement of the form and did not fear it as much as Frieza did, instead displaying extreme confidence that he could take Future Trunks down if the Saiyan was disarmed. However, upon viewing the true power of a Super Saiyan, Cold showed a hidden cowardice and begged Future Trunks to spare him to no avail. In Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, this is further exemplified during a side story in which Cold is revived. Upon witnessing Super Saiyan Gohan's strength, Cold attempts to again hide his fear behind an unsteady acknowledgement of Gohan, even claiming he would call and treat Gohan as his son in place of Frieza.

Cold appears to not care much for his eldest son Cooler, considering him soft and feigning allegiance with him in order to use him to help obtain Hatchiyack's Dragon Ball on the Prison Planet, however he does not want to do anything violent to Cooler unless necessary.[5]

It's subtly implied that (despite both sides disliking each other to an extent) King Cold's working relationship with the Saiyans was more respectable than Frieza's, as during King Cold's final visit to Planet Vegeta, King Vegeta greeted King Cold with a handshake, but King Cold ignored it to announce Frieza as his successor, and the Saiyans were told to kneel before him, most likely not wanting to look soft in front of his son, whom King Cold remarked as being more strict and cruel than himself.

Biography[]

Background[]

Frieza's father is a mutant with an abnormally high power level. Because of this, King Cold and his son Frieza are the only ones among their race to possess the striking level of power and cruelty shown in the series.[6] He is aware of the Super Saiyans' legendary power, but does not seem to fear it as much as his son does, due to his disbelief that anyone can pose a threat to him or his clan. One of King Cold's elite soldiers was Caluppa. In Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge, it is revealed that Cold has been an abusive parent to his eldest son Cooler (at least from Cooler's perspective), while at the same time spoiling Frieza - making the latter as arrogant as he is. King Cold had heard of Majin Buu and God of Destruction Beerus and warned Frieza that these were the only two beings he should never cross.[7][8]

At some point, King Cold and his army went to Planet Vegeta to inform the Saiyans of his retirement and that they would serve his son Frieza from that point on.[9]

King Cold and his son Frieza about to attack Earth

King Cold and his son Frieza about to attack Earth

After hearing of his son's desperate struggle against a Super Saiyan on planet Namek, King Cold and his crew rush to Namek in order to aid Frieza, but arrive after Namek has already exploded due to one of Frieza's attacks. King Cold searches through the debris of Namek's remains. Though in disbelief that his son could be destroyed by a mere planet's explosion, the angered King Cold telekinetically shatters his spaceship's cockpit window, making one of his soldiers fall into space. He then vows that if Frieza has truly been defeated that he (King Cold) himself will avenge his son. Eventually, Frieza's Subordinates discover Frieza's battered remains and take them to King Cold's planet where Cold's scientists manage to rebuild him with mechanical limbs. When Frieza awakens, he explains to his father about the Super Saiyan that nearly destroyed him.[10] The two discover that the Super Saiyan is on his way to Earth. Though Cold recommends destroying the planet from space, Frieza devises a plan to arrive on Earth before the Super Saiyan does and kill the earthlings in an attempt to make the Super Saiyan suffer.[11] Then, Frieza (with Cold's help if needed) would have a rematch with the Super Saiyan and victory would be assured.

Future Trunks stops King Cold's attack

Future Trunks stops King Cold's attack

When King Cold and Mecha Frieza arrive on Earth, at Northern Wastelands, Cold gives permission for his son to kill the Super Saiyan's friends and orders his soldiers to kill anything they come in contact with. Suddenly, Future Trunks shows up and easily dispatches all of Cold's minions.[10] Much to Frieza's horror and Cold's curiosity, Future Trunks transforms into a Super Saiyan, survives all of Frieza's attacks (much to Cold's annoyance), and slays Frieza with his sword,[12] and disintegrates the remains. King Cold then offers Future Trunks the opportunity to take his son's place (even offering planets as well). The youth unabashedly decline, which does not worry Cold as he believes the boy's power stems solely from his weapon.

"Wait, no, mer-! Please, spare me! Mercy! I surrender! If you let me go, I'll give you one of my finest planets! No, wait, I'll give you an entire solar system! I'll change my wicked ways, I give you my word!" — King Cold's last words before his death by Future Trunks's hands in "I Will Defeat Frieza! Another Super Saiyan!"

King Cold before his death at the hands of Future Trunks in the anime

King Cold before his death at the hands of Future Trunks in the anime

In an attempt to acquire the boy's sword, Cold asks if he may examine the blade. With the sword in his hand, Cold strikes at the mysterious youth, but to his great horror, the blade is effortlessly caught. The youth begins to overpower King Cold and, with his other hand, shoots a God Breaker which goes right through King Cold's chest, sending him flying into a cliff, with Trunks vaporizing the body immediately thereafter. In the anime, Cold does not immediately die from the first blast, instead retaining consciousness after the attack and begins begging for his life, saying that he will give the youth all the planets he conquered and also implied he will also turn a new leaf, but his pleas for mercy fall on deaf ears, as the boy quickly finishes him off with yet another God Breaker, much to the shock of the Z Fighters.[13] His cells were collected by Dr. Gero's Remote Tracking Device to create Cell.

In the anime, along with Frieza and the four deceased members of the Ginyu Force, King Cold strikes up a friendship with Cell just after Cell was sent to Hell and assists him in his quest to find a way back to Earth from Hell via torturing the ogre guardians. He is punished when Goku and Pikkon show up and defeat them easily. Before he can know what is happening, King Cold is knocked out when Pikkon elbows him once in the stomach. Cold is then later shown complaining in a jail cell in Hell with the other villains, saying he could have at least had a shower.[14]

Sometime after King Cold is released from prison, he and several past villains watch the final battle between Goku and Kid Buu via a Crystal Ball.[15][16] He also laughs at one point where Goku refuses to throw the Super Spirit Bomb with Vegeta in the way, but his smile fades away when he sees Mr. Satan take Vegeta's body aside, leaving Goku to kill Kid Buu with the Super Spirit Bomb.[17]

Mecha Frieza fights Spike and is immune to all of the Devilman's attacks until Spike uses his Devilmite Beam, killing the tyrant due to the evil in his heart. Frieza's remaining soldiers and father follow soon after.

Dragon Ball Fusions[]

Main article: Dragon Ball Fusions

King Cold is referenced in the profile description for Dodoria's race Frieza Force veteran Caluppa. It is stated that Caluppa has served within the Frieza Force since King Cold was still in power indicating Caluppa was part of the Cold Force. Caluppa himself notes he has trained over 8000 soldiers during his career and like King Cold, Caluppa is a swordsman who utilizes physical swords in combat in addition to Energy Blade techniques used by some members of the Frieza Force and Cooler Force.

Power[]

Manga and Anime

Prior to Cold's debut in both the manga and anime, during his fight with Goku, Frieza mentions that, besides Goku, only his father (and mother in the dub) has ever forced him to dust himself off after a fight/harm him in his final form.

Cold's power is not mentioned in the manga but has been mentioned in the anime; when many of the Z Fighters were sensing Frieza's power level, they all remarked that King Cold's power level was even higher than Frieza's. It is, however, worth noting that Mecha Frieza was suppressed at the time, as Gohan pointed out later to Yamcha that his power can grow much larger than what they are currently sensing. This interpretation is supported by the fact that King Cold voluntarily relinquished his leadership role on the grounds that his son was stronger.

When King Cold fights Super Saiyan Future Trunks he is shown to be completely outmatched even when using Trunks' sword, he cannot overpower his opponent, who simply catches the blade in his hand. He is then easily defeated when Future Trunks blasts a hole through him. In the anime he survives this initial shot, but is killed for good by a second one. It is unclear whether King Cold has Frieza's ability to survive mortal wounds in the manga, due to his falling limp after Future Trunks' attack, although Future Trunks charging a second blast even in the manga implied that it was a likely enough possibility that he immediately opted to destroy the body in order to ensure he was dead.

In the anime, Pikkon managed to defeat King Cold easily, although he managed to take few steps forward right before he fell unconscious.

Super Dragon Ball Heroes

In the game, after aiding them in battling the Ghost Warriors, King Cold is confident that he can defeat Final Form Cooler and Future Trunks and suggests they surrender, however he is taken down by Hatchiyack in one shot via sneak attack - suggesting that Hatchiyack saw him as the biggest threat of the three, as he prioritized taking him down over a Saiyan.

Statements by guidebooks and authors

Daizenshuu 7 states in King Cold's bio that he is "slightly behind" Frieza in terms of battle power.[3] It was also stated by Naho Ooishi in an interview for Resurrection ‘F’ that even though the rest of Frieza's family are strong, Frieza's power has always been in a completely different league from them, and that he alone is the only one to possess this level of power.[20] In Saikyō Jump, Akira Toriyama has stated that King Cold and Frieza are the only two of their race to have abnormal power.[21]

A French guidebook states that King Cold possesses all of the powers of Frieza and Cooler, only much stronger.[22]

Video games

In Frieza's what-if scenario in Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, by the time of the Tournament of Power, King Cold has grown in strength enough that he is almost as strong as Final Form Frieza, however he is defeated by the berserk Super Saiyan Kale.

Techniques and Special Abilities[]

  • Flight – The ability to fly through the use of ki.
  • Ki Blast – The most basic form of energy wave.
  • Telekinesis – A technique that allows the user to manipulate objects and other people with the power of one's mind. He at one point uses it to break a cockpit window to his ship immediately before his men managed to locate Frieza, in what was implied to be out of rage at the possibility of Frieza being killed.
King Cold using his Dirty Slash

King Cold using his Dirty Slash

  • Dirty Slash – A sword slash technique.
  • Survival – King Cold can survive in a vacuum, enabling him to survive in space. In the anime, Cold has the ability to survive even the most horrifying injuries, as he is still conscious and capable of smooth speech despite having a hole in his chest; he is not explicitly shown to possess this trait in the manga, although Trunks opting to charge up a second God Breaker to obliterate his body even in the manga implies that his possessing the ability was likely.
  • Healing – King Cold has the power to heal Frieza and Cooler in the Dragon Ball Collectible Card Game, which is a reference to how he saved Frieza and made him cybernetic in the manga/anime.
  • Ghost King – A team attack used by King Cold and Mecha Frieza in Supersonic Warriors 2.

  • King's Dignity – One of Cold's Blast 1 in Budokai Tenkaichi 3.
  • Death Beam - King Cold: BR's special attack in Dragon Ball Heroes.
    • Full Power Death Beam – One of Cold's Blast 2 in Budokai Tenkaichi 3. Also used by King Cold as his Super Attack in Dokkan Battle.
  • Super Explosive Wave – One of Cold's Blast 2 in Budokai Tenkaichi 3.
  • Cold Family Power – Cold's Ultimate Blast in Budokai Tenkaichi 3.
  • Power of the Wicked Bloodline - Cold and Mecha Frieza's team attack in Dokkan Battle.
  • Burst Attack – A special ability used by King Cold in Dragon Ball Heroes. King Cold's damage power increases (the card depicts him firing a red energy wave).
  • Super Spirit Spheres of Guard – A special ability used by King Cold in Dragon Ball Heroes. King Cold goes into sparking mode and his attacks increase in power. Furthermore, his defense increases when ultra-sparking.

Transformation[]

It is stated in the Dragon Book that King Cold appears to be the type who increases his abilities by transforming. However, King Cold never utilizes any forms other than his regular horned one so it is unknown what his transformation is. Due to the statement that he is the type who increases his abilities by transforming and not decrease like Frieza's form were intended to do, it is possible that Cold's horned form is his true form, and he has a "Super Evolution" beyond, although this is unconfirmed.

Though if King Cold is in a lower form, then his next transformation would either be through Transforming Ability into a higher form, or a transformation into his true form.

A French guidebook also states that Cold can transform to become stronger.[22]

Equipment[]

  • King Cold's Spaceship - A large, round ship used for transportation.
  • Scouter - A wearable, all-purpose computer.
  • Future Trunks' Sword - A powerful blade that Future Trunks carries around with him.

Trivia[]

  • King Cold's name refers to low temperatures.
  • King Cold has a noticeable British accent in the English dub.
  • Frieza mentions his "parents"/"loving parents" to Goku on Namek in the manga, anime, and Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z whereas he simply mentions "his father" to Goku in Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and Dragon Ball Z Kai. It should be mentioned that the plural form does not exist in Japanese.
    • In Chi-Chi's commentary on First Form Frieza and Final Form Cooler in Budokai Tenkaichi 3, she mentions parents instead of just King Cold alone, stating that Frieza and Cooler's upbringing by their parents is a troublesome story. Chi-Chi also refers to Cold's wife in King Cold's profile, wondering if his wife has the same face.

King Cold with a brown chestplate

  • Although King Cold appears to be one of the tallest villains in the Dragon Ball series, his exact size is not always consistent. The manga depicts Cold as being nearly triple the height of Mecha Frieza, while the anime depicts him with varying sizes. In Budokai Tenkaichi 3, King Cold's height is equal to Frieza's Second Form.
  • In the second Jaaku Mission trailer for Dragon Ball Heroes, the chestplate of King Cold's Battle Armor is brown rather than dark blue. This is also the color of his armor in Dragon Ball GT.
  • In Budokai Tenkaichi 3, if King Cold fights Trunks (Fighting Teen), he will state that "I'm not afraid of you, you don't even have your sword". If he wins, he'll retort "Hah! I knew it, without your weapon, you're nothing but a loser".
  • King Cold is the only member of Frieza's Race to have appeared in the anime that has not been voiced by Ryūsei Nakao at some point.
  • Even though he was the secret leader of the Frieza Force, he is technically inferior in rank to his son Frieza, as the latter held the title of Emperor of Universe 7, with Emperors outranking Kings. This is demonstrated in Dragon Ball Super: Broly when King Cold retired from command of the Cold Army, which could mean that he was the universe's emperor before letting Frieza succeed him.
  • In Dragon Ball Super: Broly, Bardock claims that the Saiyans have always conquered and sold planets to make their fortune, until King Cold discovered them and enslaved them. Thus by killing him, Future Trunks effectively avenged the Saiyan race's enslavement by King Cold which is fitting as Future Trunks is a member of the royal House of Vegeta.
  • King Cold's voice actor, Jason Douglas also voices Jaqcues Schnee in the computer-animated RoosterTeeth show, RWBY. These characters are also similar in that they have names associated with snow, they are tyrants, and they have a hatred for a race of human-animal hybrids (Saiyans and Faunus respectively). The biggest difference is that King Cold actually seems to somewhat care about his children.
