The Goku’s victory over Frieza is one of the most iconic moments in Dragon Ball history. Not only because the warrior from Earth defeats the Emperor of the Universe, but because he does so by executing the Super Saiyan transformation for the first time.
The same series has been responsible for giving Frieza the place he deserves, being the best villain of all that the Z Warriors have faced. So much so that in Dragon Ball Super they seem to suggest that Goku’s victory over the world conqueror is a farce. .
A theory that appears in a review of MeriStation explains that Frieza had a secret weapon that he never used because Goku left the battlefield, feeling like a winner.
Perhaps the theory has several flaws. First of all, Goku leaves the place because the planet is going to explode and Frieza had already exhausted all his energy by launching a meaningless attack on the Saiyan. Furthermore, the Emperor of the Universe was cut in half after being the victim of some kind of Kienza that he had done himself.
So, based on this, Goku won his battle well.
Frieza’s secret technique
The theory that Frieza had a secret technique is based on Dragon Ball Super. Specifically in the Tournament of Force, where we see Frost, from Universe 6.
This villain, who is an alternate version of Frieza, has a technique called poison stinger. So the theory goes that Frieza does the same thing and didn’t use it against Goku.
So let’s go in parts. The fact that he didn’t use it in Dragon Ball Z is not Goku’s fault. He is not won with force, he is also won with the intelligence and ability to know how to use tools on a battlefield.
But let’s assume that Frieza had it as a last resort. If this were the case, the villain himself was cut in half, with no chance of being able to use this against his opponent.
So Goku’s victory over Frieza is genuine and legitimate. There is no room for this type of theory.
