It ’s no underground thatFriezahatesGokumore than anything following his withering frustration by the Saiyan ’s hired man on Planet Namek , so it may come as a shock that Frieza in reality complemented Goku during their first battle – though in doing so , he created a blatantDragon Ballplot hole .

Frieza is perhaps one of the most evil and impactful villains inDragon Ballhistory . Frieza was an intergalactic autocrat who held a immense chunk of the known creation under his command , and the Saiyan subspecies was a bragging part of his succeeder as a authoritarian . Frieza was the ruler of all Saiyans , but it was n’t in a Saiyan ’s nature to be ruled over by anyone other than another Saiyan ( and even then , they well be sinewy ) . So , when Frieza became worried that the Saiyans would come up up against him – as he was aware of the raw power Saiyans were equal to of unlocking – Frieza destroyed the Saiyan ’s planetand effectively wipe out the entire Saiyan race , though not without first confab the God of Destruction , Lord Beerus . Since obliterating an total major planet is the exclusive opulence of a Destroyer God , Frieza had to ask permission from Lord Beerus before proceeding with his genocidal act , and Beerus gave Frieza the unripened light in person .

InDragon Ballchapter 321 by Akira Toriyama , Goku and Frieza are wrapping up their iconic battle on Planet Namek , with Frieza bear on his body to the absolute limit to match Goku ’s newfound Super Saiyan power . Once Frieza gain one hundred percent great power , Frieza attacks Goku full - forceand knocks the wind out the Saiyan for a brief import before the fighting continues – at which point Frieza actually paid Goku a compliment . Frieza tells Goku , “ I ’ll give you a compliment before you die ! You were extremely strong Super Saiyajin ! You would ’ve been the universe ’s number one fighter if I was n’t here ! ” .

While Frieza ’s compliment was kind of nice in a nefarious , backhanded sort of manner , it was a complete lie . In terminus of chronology , Frieza had already met Lord Beerus , a Destroyer God , look - to - cheek so he knows that there are powers beyond his comprehension that be in the existence outside himself and Goku . Not only that , butFrieza also reveal inDragon Ball Superthat he was admonish about Majin Buu as well as being made cognisant of Lord Beerus as those were the two entities his sire , King Cold , told him never to fight . This mean that Frieza knew of at least two beings that were more potent than he was – create a plot hole when it ’s later revealed that he held that knowledge all along .

Even though one could argue that Frieza was just lying to Goku in this scene since he ’s a prevaricator , it would n’t make any sense for him to . Sure , Frieza is still saying that he ’s the strong in the existence , but there ’s no percentage point in bolstering Goku ’s trust by saying he ’s already as powerful as even the strongest existence in the universe when Frieza knows he is n’t . If anything , it would make more sense forFrieza to laugh at Goku ’s ‘ power’after literally stick out in the presence of a god – one whose power makes SSJ1 look absolutely pathetic by comparison . Despite whatFriezacould have done or tell , the verity is that what he said toGokuin thisDragon Ballchapter is a pointless lie , one that circumstantially created a secret plan hole – all stanch from a exclusive compliment .
