Dragon Ball Z
Five years after winning the World Martial Arts tournament, Gokuu is now living a peaceful life with his wife and son.
This changes, however, with the arrival of a mysterious enemy named Raditz who presents himself as Gokuu's long-lost brother.
He reveals that Gokuu is a descendant of the once powerful but now virtually extinct Saiyan race, whose homeworld was annihilated.
When he was sent to Earth as a baby, Gokuu's sole purpose was to conquer and destroy the planet; but after suffering amnesia from a head injury, his violent and savage nature changed, and instead was raised as a kind and well-mannered boy, now fighting to protect others.
With his failed attempt at forcibly recruiting Gokuu as an ally, Raditz warns Gokuu's friends of a new threat that's rapidly approaching Earth—one that could plunge Earth into an intergalactic conflict and cause the heavens themselves to shake.
A war will soon be fought over the seven mystical Dragon Balls, magic objects that can grant any wish.
Only the strongest will survive.

EP100 - Gohan Returns Filler
Everyone that has been killed by Frieza and his henchmen on Namek are resurrected, but so far, Guru isn't back yet. Meanwhile, Goku finally decides to use his full power, giving him the edge in his beam struggle with Frieza. Refusing to admit defeat, Frieza breaks off of the attack and blindsides Goku before knocking him deep into the planet and triggering a volcanic eruption, apparently killing Goku. With Goku seemingly beaten by Frieza's attack, Gohan returns to the battle to avenge his father, and to make sure that the cold tyrant dies along with the planet. However, even though Frieza returns to 50% of his full power, he is no match for Frieza. Enraged by Frieza's actions, Gohan powers up again and pounds Frieza, who then decides to use 100% of his full power again. Before Frieza can land the killing blow, however, Guru returns to life, and Goku reappears, and orders Gohan to leave Namek.

As they continue their fight, it seems that Frieza has regained the upper hand now that he has powered up to his maximum, but Goku claims that the battle is far from over.
-
EP97 - Namek's Destruction?
Not willing to be beaten, Frieza fires an attack to destroy Namek so Goku will be killed, as the Super Saiyan is unable to stop the attack.

Nonetheless, the blast has destabilized Namek's core, and the planet is going to blow up.

He breaks out of the healing chamber, and flies to the battlefield.
-

Now in his final form, Frieza seems unstoppable. With a single energy beam, he immediately kills Dende, since he is the reason the tyrant's enemies came back from near-death, via the young Namekian's healing powers. Angry at Frieza's murderous act, Piccolo, Gohan, and Krillin throw everything they've got at him, but Frieza easily dodges them.

He fires his Masenko at Frieza, but though the hideous tyrant is nearly overcome by the attack, he manages to deflect it. Realizing that Gohan is one of the few surviving Saiyans beside Vegeta, Frieza decides to transform into his final form to finish them and the others once and for all. Vegeta, however, comes up with a plan to stop him: he tells Krillin to severely injure him, insisting that when Dende heals him, he will become much more powerful. Krillin reluctantly hits Vegeta with a powerful blast, and the Saiyan falls to the ground. He stumbles over to Dende, demanding that he be healed. Dende refuses and flees from him, due to Vegeta's previous atrocities against the Namekians, which causes the Saiyan Prince to lose consciousness. As his transformation nears his completition, Frieza sees that Dende has been healing his opponents. When Gohan and Krillin asks Dende why he didn't heal Vegeta, he states that Vegeta is a heartless killer like Frieza, but Nail, in Piccolo's body, convinces him to do it, ensuring that when he and Piccolo defeat Frieza, then they will have a score to settle with the Saiyan. Frieza completes his transformation, and Dende finally heals Vegeta, who furiously kicks him away as a token of gratitude . With everyone standing together, Frieza finally completes his transformation, shattering his third form. When the smoke clears, Frieza appeared as a small alien being, with his entire white body with purple sectors; his true form.
-
EP82 - Frieza's Second Transformation
Piccolo is beating Frieza, but the evil tyrant has another trick up his sleeve: another transformation.

In this form, Frieza is even more powerful than before. Piccolo begins to fight the new Frieza, but it is clear that Frieza is more powerful.

Dende, now using his healing powers given to him by Guru, heals Krillin's injuries and the Earthling cuts off Frieza's tail with a Destructo Disc, forcing him to stop torturing his friend. Krillin is able to distract Frieza long enough for Dende to heal Gohan as well. Though they are both back to full strength, it all seems useless because none of them are a match for Frieza.

Enraged, Gohan suddenly loses control of himself and unleashes a furious attack on Frieza, blasting him into the ground. Though he becomes powerful out of anger, his Masenko is not strong enough to kill Frieza, who gets up and powers up again for the second time.

Frieza then decides to tell Vegeta that it was actually he who destroyed planet Vegeta long ago, wiping out the Saiyan race including his father King Vegeta when the prince was a young boy. Vegeta claims that he knew all along, which was why he hated Frieza so much. Frieza also reveals another secret that Vegeta's father had never experienced: he can transform. Eager to finally destroy Vegeta and his allies, Frieza transforms into a hideous giant and explains that in his new form, his power level is over one million.

Though he is reluctant, Piccolo agrees. He and Nail become one in Piccolo's body and with his newfound strength, Piccolo continues towards Frieza's ship. Back at the battle, Frieza shoots a blast at Krillin, Gohan, and Dende, but Vegeta deflects it, shielding the boys just in time. Confident in his new strength, Vegeta tells Frieza that he will defeat him, because he will soon become a Super Saiyan, the thing that Frieza fears most. Believing this statement to be a lie, Frieza tries to pummel Vegeta, but as the two grapple and power up, Vegeta's power level grows much higher than Frieza had anticipated, and he proves to be Frieza's equal, which causes Frieza's scouter to explode. After they stop their duel, Frieza admits that Vegeta wasn't bluffing, and the Saiyan Prince encourages him to transform and show his true power.

Thanks to Dende, the Eternal Dragon of Namek, Porunga, has been summoned. Unlike Shenron, the Earth's dragon, Porunga has the power to grant any three wishes. Through King Kai, Piccolo tells Gohan to use the first wish to bring him back to life, and the second to bring him to Namek. The dragon grants these two wishes. While they are thinking of their third wish, Vegeta wakes up, sensing Frieza and learning that Gohan, Krillin and Dende have taken the Dragon Balls from him. Furious, he flies over to the trio, demanding that they wish for his immortality. Before they can decide what to do, Porunga suddenly disappears and the Dragon Balls reappear as stones.

He meets up with him, and Dende tells him that he has been sent to deliver the password, and together they head back to Frieza's ship. Once they arrive, they decide to make the wish now so that Vegeta won't get his wish of immortality. Meanwhile, Frieza discovers Nail has been purposely stalling him and threatens to make a move to finish him off. Nail, however, says that killing him won't do any good because Dende is probably the one who has the password for the Namekian Dragon Balls, and that he has given them to the Earthlings. Finally getting the point a little too late, Frieza becomes angry and flies back to his ship. When he tries to contact the Ginyu Force, he finds out that they were all slaughtered by Vegeta, Gohan and Krillin, and vows to exterminate his enemies before they obtain a wish from the Dragon Balls.
