can someone please explain to me how he died in 764 A.D. ??? This makes absolutely no sense —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hairybeast92 ( talk • contribs) 00:35, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
Is there not a more technical/appropriate term than "bad mofo"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.17.147.170 ( talk) 14:44, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
Well then, at the very least the sentence needs to be modified so that it says exactly who is calling Freeza a bad mofo, rather than saying that he is thought of as a bad mofo by "many". PiccoloNamek ( talk) 11:48, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
So... what exactly makes this "Ramsey Isler"'s quote so note worthy that it's present in this article... and attributed to "many people"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.17.147.170 ( talk) 01:38, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
And i did not imply that the quote referred to "every living person on the face of the planet", i wrote what i meant - "many people". And you didn't answer my question, you just saw an opportunity to try and be smart, which, consequently didn't even work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.17.147.170 ( talk) 22:01, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
Well... the "absence of evidence..." phrase can be used to substantiate anything, no matter how ridiculous. So, in that respect, his statement does represent the opinion of a reasonable amount of people, and, of course, we don't know that there isn't really someone alive named Dr. Who, who has the ability to step through the magical time warp (which also, by your logic, could exist)... so... he could very well exist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.17.147.170 ( talk) 08:19, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
Is Frieza a boy or girl?
Frieza is unintentionally a woman in the English dub because of her voice, colour and mannerisms. So I know it wasn't intended as such, but that's how I and virtually everyone knows frieza. — Preceding

Is it true that frieza is a girl in the manga?-- SSJGuardian ( talk) 18:46, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
Has Toriyama ever explicitly stated Frieza's gender, or are certain pronouns in Japanese male by default, making Frieza more gender androgynous than either male or female? Gender seems to work somewhat differently in the DB universe (as on Namek, f.e.)--are there even male/female forms for Frieza's race, or are we just assuming "he" is male?
In the Hindi DBZ, Freiza is voiced by a female voice actor but using male self-referencing pronouns. But then again Freiza wears lipstick and his/her groin in all the forms with white-and-purple skin looks much more like a females gentitalia than a penis.
I don't think it is really encyclopediac. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chucky Jenkins of Geneva ( talk • contribs) 19:57, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
Can this be considered a reliable source? http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/dragonballzbudokaitenkaichi2/news.html?sid=6161451&mode=previews&tag=result%3Btitle%3B0 It is a complete overview of Frieza and I think I can use it for the repcetion section but i'm a bit wary about doing so.

I'm questioning how notable Frieza is. There really isn't any reception in this article besides something that's slightly in-universe - in that it's a comparison of a VA's quality to another VA's. Regardless, is there anything more to say about Frieza? Seems that most of the article is just a plot summary to me. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 10:56, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
Frieza is pretty notable out of universe and recognizable. One example I can give is that in the episode of Codename: Kids Next Door titled "Operation: R.E.P.O.R.T." the Delightful Children from Down the Lane are shown in the appearance of Frieza as they have a Dragon Ball Z styled fight against numbuh 4 who resembles a Super Saiyan Goku. - SuperTiencha ( talk) 06:13, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
I know his name is derived from the fruit "Kiwi", but I've seen the English episodes and Frieza, Vegeta, Zarbon, and Dodoria all refer to him as "Cui". (The closed-captions spell his name "Kewie", but they also spell Krillin "Crillen" and Kami "Commy", when both are confirmed to be "Krillin" and "Kami" in the titles. Also, it calls Ginyu "Ginew" in the episode "Arrival of the Ginyu Force".) So do the games and the Dragonball Wiki. I don't think some people (coughkahlannightwingcough) have seen those episodes or played the games, and it got her thinking that his name was Kiwi. So if you don't mind, I'll be changing it to Cui. Ghostkaiba297 ( talk) 16:42, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
It's Freeza. 2 e's. I was always impressed with the way wikipedia stuck with Son Goku's right name even though he's just addressed as Goku in the West. So why isn't Freeza getting the same treatment? Is it simply because westerners are more familiar with the wrong spelling, like S-eye-an vs S-Ay-an ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.185.167.125 ( talk) 05:59, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Frieza → Freeza – More a technical move, but given the previous discussion on this topic, this is potentially controversial. In Wikipeida's coverage of DBZ characters it uses the English rominziation of names that came form the original manga, as translated by Viz Media. In this cases, the character's name is Freeza. Frieza is the English rominization used by Funimation, which dubbed the anime adaptation. Having the article name (Frieza) in one location while using the another (Freeza) throughout the article will just confuse the reader. Per WP:LEAST, the article's name should reflect the name used in the article. Given that there is already a preference to the rominzation of names used in the original media, that name should be Freeza. — Farix ( t | c) 20:58, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

Freeza →
Frieza – Since I was reverted on an over-two-year-old consensus, I will obtain a new one. Per
WP:MOS-AM:
Use the most commonly known English titles for article names and place the transliteration of the Japanese on the first line of the article. If that name includes special characters (such as ♥), do not include them in the article's title. If it is translated, this is usually the official English translation. If there are multiple official titles, use the one that is best known and that has contributed most to the work's becoming known in the broader English-speaking world. This applies to series, character articles, and fictional element articles.
The most commonly used English version of his name is Frieza and the transliteration of the Japanese version is Freeza. Please see this comparison of Google trend analytics. You can even see that the majority of the Freeza interest is generated by Brazil and Japan. Even if you use the less reliable number of search results with Google, Freeza returns 2,820,000 results while Frieza returns 7,550,000 results. Google even corrects Freeza to Frieza via "Did you mean?" It is crystal clear that Frieza is the best-known name for this character. — nihlus kryik ( talk) 18:15, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
