* Most of the [[Family-Unfriendly Death|Family Unfriendly Deaths]]/[[Cruel and Unusual Death|Cruel And Unusual Deaths]] in general, while not as [[Berserk (Manga)/Nightmare Fuel|bad]] [[Hellsing (Manga)/Nightmare Fuel|as]] [[Fullmetal Alchemist (
* [[Complete Monster|Frieza]] from ''Dragon Ball Z'' was arguably the most terrifying character in the series; all other villains in the series were either created evil, or were raised by a race that ''was'' evil. Frieza seems to be the most needlessly evil, and outright cruel character in the series.
** And for a bonus, Frieza is [[Hey, It's That Voice!|voiced by]] [[Ryusei Nakao]], who voiced [[Bleach|Mayuri Kurotsuchi]].
* His transformations unlike the other transformations that were either weird, [[Nightmare Fuel]] or heroic; Frieza's in a catergory of his own. His first transformation into his 2nd form is [[Body Horror]] at its finest, first his chest and arms enlarge giving the appearance of an upper torso way too big for Frieza's small frame until his legs bulk out starting from the thighs to his ankles, also [[Satan|his horns turn upwards as seen through a shadow]], then we see from his point of view of Vegeta gradually getting smaller, then stretching out his neck, a pink aura surrounds him as his facial features become more adult and his shoulder pads enlarge. In fact the sheer weight of the form causes him to fall to his knees as power is straining his being. In the anime, he then stands up and turns around to show his satanic new form, while in the manga, he gives a [[Slasher Smile]] knowing that the heroes are now screwed. Everyone including Vegeta are scared of this new form. [[Impaled With Extreme Prejudice|which are completely justified as Frieza goes to impale Krillin with his horns and prolonged it with sadistic pleasure]].
** The next transformation, while not as graphic, is even more [[Body Horror]] after Frieza extends his shoulder guards and grows spikes on his back, his face stretches out and then contorts his face into making his nose into a malformed beak while his head elongates. He then plays [[Dragon Ball Abridged|paintball with Piccolo who had been a match for him earlier...just remove the "t"]], his last transformation is unimpressive as he cracks his skin and emerges in his 4th and true form, [[Uncanny Valley|the placid expression and ghostly design makes up for it though]] and [[Would Hit A Child|is]] [[Hero
** Arguably the worst part about Frieza is how he's not just going to ''kill'' you; he wants you to die ''terrified''. Probably the best example is in ''[[Dragon Ball Kai]]'' after he {{spoiler|[[Shoot the Medic First|kills Dende]]}} and then [[Flash Step|Flash Steps]] right behind the heroes, and says this priceless bit of dialogue, all while [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhCn_q04qBk this music is playing in the background.]
{{quote| '''Frieza:''' *After blasting a (at most) {{spoiler|''ten-year-old child''}} [[Family-Unfriendly Death|into a smoldering corpse]]* "[[I Gave My Word|I promised]], didn't I? To show you a terror greater than Hell? But that {{spoiler|[[Infant Immortality|Namekian child there]]}} [[Subverted Trope|won't get to experience this.]] It's a shame, isn't it? I'll just have to let you guys take his share."}}
Line 18:
*** Get to the uncensored version, and you see Krillin's chest expand right before he explodes. [[Body Horror|OH MY GOD...]]
{{quote| '''Frieza:''' Pop goes the weasel.}}
** And of course there's the sheer ''power'' Frieza wields. The Saiyans and the Ginyu Force were all intimidatingly strong, but Frieza is '''this''' close to being a horribly evil [[Physical God]]. When Goku shows up to fight [[The Brute|Nappa]] or the [[Quirky Miniboss Squad|Ginyu Force]], we know everything will be okay, but after he shows up to fight Frieza, and seems to be winning for a while, Frieza states that if he uses half of his full power, he can finish Goku. Okay, this is all trash talk we've heard before, but then Goku realizes, with a look of genuine fear, that ''Frieza isn't bluffing.'' The alien tyrant then gives him a savage [[No
{{quote| '''Frieza:''' "Never mind half max power; I'm not even using one third of it."}}
** Goku tries to turn things around with the Kaioken x 10, greater than anything we've seen before...and it ''doesn't even slow Frieza down.'' That's the moment where the viewer realizes just how bad things are for the heroes.
