I know gold's a bit gauche, but I wanted to ensure you grasp my new position atop the pecking order. And for the sake of your feeble mind, let's keep the name simple as well, we'll call this Golden Frieza.
—After Frieza evolved, explaining to Goku.

Golden Frieza is Frieza's unique version of his race's Ultimate Evolution[1][4][5] (究極進化; Kyūkyoku Shinka) state. This transformation is achieved by Frieza through vigorous training methods.

Overview[]

Appearance[]

While in this form the user's eye ridge become visibly pronounced and skin turns purple with their biological armor changes color, in Frieza's case gaining a glimmering golden shine. It is implied that the user can choose what color they want their biological armor to take when they use attain their Golden form, as Frieza mentioned that he "made it gold". The muscle mass of the user is larger than Frieza's true form. When in base colour, it looks almost the same as the final form, but the muscle mass stays the same, and the purple plates cover the whole shoulder instead of the top. When unleashing ki from their body, the user generates a fiery-like aura. The user's height also increases - in Frieza's case, he grew from somewhere around five feet to around Goku's height (six feet).

Usage and power[]

Of course I hope you realize this iteration has for more to it than a shimmering new facade.
—Frieza anticipating the power of his Golden Form.

This form is commonly misconceived as Frieza's "god form" due to placing Frieza's power on the same level as powerful characters with godly ki, but in actuality he does not possess divine ki.

Golden Frieza vs. Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Goku

Golden Frieza is extremely powerful, having even more power than Goku and Vegeta in their Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan forms separate. When Golden Frieza was at his full power in this state, Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Goku was barely able to land any blows, and only while catching Frieza off-guard. It was not until Golden Frieza's power dropped considerably that Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Goku had the advantage. However, even with the evolution's tremendous power, Frieza does not seem to want to face Beerus, worrying if the God of Destruction were to interfere with his revenge, and it is said by Beerus that if Goku and Vegeta were to fight Golden Frieza together, they would be able to deal with him much faster than Goku could alone. Dragon Ball Super episode 26 and Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle both reference Golden Frieza as having "power beyond imagination". Dragon Ball Heroes also states that Golden Frieza's power is unmatched.

Frieza attained this form at some point during his training in preparation for his invasion of Earth, his training unleashing his immense dormant power and also igniting this heightened power from within him.[6] Immediately after attaining this evolution Frieza headed to Earth in order to have his revenge, instead of attempting to first master the form. During his battle against Goku, Frieza transforms into this form in order to show off his power in comparison to Goku's own transformation into a Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan. After Frieza's battle with Goku finishes, Frieza continues the fight in his Golden Form when fighting Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Vegeta; however, at the end of the fight he drops out of it due to his stamina becoming too low for him to sustain the form.

Drawback[]

It's not affecting you yet Frieza, but it's about to.
—Goku warning Frieza about the disadvantages on his Golden Form

Despite its tremendous power, the form has a serious flaw: namely, it experiences a severe decrease in stamina from prolonged periods of time being used without first allowing the body to properly adjust to the intense energy it gives off. While a mastered state of the Ultimate Evolution is never displayed, it is mentioned by Goku and Vegeta that if Frieza had trained further upon completing his evolution to Golden Frieza, he could have negated the rapid power draining effect entirely. Frieza however refused to wait any longer beyond his initial training, not having enough patience to put off his revenge against Goku any longer.

Further power up[]

Angered Golden Frieza[]

When Golden Frieza becomes completely enraged he transforms further into the Angered Golden Frieza. His appearance changes a bit, veins bulging and part of his eyes become bloodshot, he is also stronger than what he would be when calm.

Movie appearance[]

Frieza transforms into Golden Frieza in order to unlock some of his latent potential against Goku in his Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan form. Golden Frieza has control throughout the fight until Goku and Vegeta figured out his weakness. Golden Frieza power has been in decline because Frieza has not gotten use to the form, eager to fight before he was ready. After Golden Frieza has been defeated, he used the help of Sorbet to take Goku down. Golden Frieza continues to torture Goku until Vegeta steps up to combat him using his Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan form and knocks Golden Frieza back into his final form.

Video game appearances[]

This form is referred to as The Ultimate Evolution of Terror (恐怖の究極進化) in Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle.
