Frieza's Elite (フリーザ様御一行, Furīza-sama go Ikkō) are a faction of soldiers representing the strongest members of the Galactic Frieza Army
under the command of Emperor Frieza. Frieza is the self-proclaimed
"lord of the universe" who spends hundreds of years controlling an
interplanetary empire.
Overview
Frieza and Zarbon
Frieza's Elite make their debut with the SaiyanRaditz, who is sent to Earth in "The New Threat" ("The Arrival of Raditz" in the edited anime) to investigate the planet's status and recover his brother Kakarot (now known as Goku
on Earth). However, Raditz makes no mention of Frieza, instead simply
citing that the Saiyans are responsible for planet broking. It is not
until the episode "Held Captive"
that the universal threat Frieza poses is first described. Frieza's
most esteemed henchmen and possibly those who he has collaborated with
the longest are Zarbon and Dodoria, who each act as his closest advisers and military commanders.
Frieza's aids; Dodoria and Zarbon, after escaping from Hell in Dragon Ball GT
and Dodoria participating in the extermination of one of the most powerful Saiyan platoon. Decades later, Vegeta executes both Dodoria and Zarbon on Namek, although initially a transformation used by Zarbon is able to defeat him and capture him for Frieza.
In the special Dragon Ball Z: Bardock - The Father of Goku,
both Zarbon and Dodoria oversaw the destruction of the Saiyan race,
with Zarbon suggesting the Saiyans be eliminated before they form a
rebellion, latter gets the best of the Saiyan.
The Ginyu Force
are also among the soldiers employed by Frieza, serving as a High-Level
Executive Class team, and are among the strongest of soldiers within
Frieza's empire - with their captain Ginyu acting as the right-hand man
of Frieza himself.
