"MORONS! You are fighting without my permission!! You dare talk about sparring in normal form?! Do you want to destroy my capital planet!? I am the one who decides which parts of the universe you get to conquer, not you!" |
King Cold (コルド大王, Korudo Daiō, lit. "Great King Cold") was the king of the Frost Demon Empire, the son of Snower, the father of Freeza and Coola and the strongest being in the universe until his body was stolen by Captain Ginyu. Ginyu lived on in King Cold's body, masquerading as the Frost Demon king for several decades until being offered participation in the Multiverse Tournament.
Appearance[]
King Cold initially has the exact same appearance in the canon series. In his Second Restriction form, King Cold is about two times bigger compared to Freeza (True Form), who wears the same armor as the soldiers in his army. Cold has light purple skin, red eye pupils within a white sclera, two curved black horns and a blue bio-gem on his head. King Cold also has a very muscular physique.
Before his death, Cold wore navy blue clothing that had additional white armor covering it. Like his previous outfit, he remains bare-foot.
When in his First Restriction form, King Cold's head cranium extends pretty far back, which distorts his face while attaining two additional horns. Armor and horns also grows on his shoulders, back, forearms, and ankles at various lengths. Ultimately, he looks very similar to Freeza when in the same state, but lacks the "hunch" appearance his son bears with.
When in his True form, King Cold looks similar to his Second Restriction form, but gains or loses some attributes. His actual skin still retains the light purple coloring, but his natural bio-armor reverts to something highly akin to Freeza's own flesh. Cold loses his horns, but retains his facial makeup from his second form and bio-gem. Later on, he wears a armor chest piece that looks similar to his original, along with a cape added in.
Personality[]
King Cold, like his sons, has calm, high-class mannerisms with eloquent language. Using his authority as a parent, he acts as a peacemaker to settle his son's constant spats with each other.
King Cold is also highly territorial, since he became very angry when the Kashvar attempted to resurrect Hildegan on one of his planets. This resulted in Cold to immediately sending out his best army to eradicate, followed by imprisoning Hoi to punish him while holding his possessed demon at bay too.
Biography[]
Birth[]
Cold was born to King Snower 53 years before Age as a prince of the Frost Demon Empire and the brother of Polar.[1]
Sealing Away Hoi[]
In Age 214, Prince Cold became aware that Hoi's clan were about to use an experiment to resurrect Hildegan on one of his planets. Being very angry about this, Cold sent his army to intervene just when Hildegan's legs were released from one of the black boxes and subsequently sealed inside Hoi. The soldiers in Cold's army easily killed all of the magicians except Hoi, who was sentenced to sleep in a stasis tank for all eternity in an underground prison.[2][1]
Worldly Conquests[]
In Age 217, Cold, alongside his father and brother resumed their Frost Demon Empire's reign of conquering non-federated planets.[1] In Age 499, along with Polar and Snower, Cold destroyed the original home world of Jaykals, thus eradicating their civilization and most of their population in the process. This forced the survivors to relocate to Planet Jayna to plan their retaliation for vengeance.[3][4]
By Age 503, Polar was killed by Bojack's gang and Snower mysteriously disappeared. Due to these events, Cold becomes the new emperor. His ascension to the throne was safeguarded when the Kaios imprisoned the remaining Bojack gang members in Age 507.[1]
Birthing Coola and Freeza[]
In Age 555, King Cold gave birth to his first son, Coola.[1] In Age 570, King Cold gave birth to his second son, Freeza.[1] To prepare himself for the birth, King Cold assumed his original form in order to deliver Freeza on an unknown planet. During the course of his laboring, the Frost Demon had so little control of himself that he created new craters, volcanoes, and oceanic faults daily until the point the entire planet was reduced to a wasteland. After giving birth to Freeza, the entire planet was destroyed.
Discipline[]
In Age 623 on King Cold's capital planet, both Freeza and Coola were fighting in their Second Restriction forms. When both decide to utilize their True Forms to combat against each other, King Cold swiftly "bonks" both of their heads while calling them morons. After reprimanding them both for fighting without his permission and daring to use their true forms, Cold sternly tells them that he is the one who controls what part of the universe they can control.
The Tyrant Freeza Must be Stopped[]
Several years after Ginyu's "death", King Cold is informed that an intruder has killed two elite guards, which King Cold says is irrelevant while reading some important files. After telling the messenger to find the intruder by using the detectors, the messenger was killed by Ginyu which intrigues the frost demon king on his ability to control his power. After asking Ginyu on what he wants, Ginyu preforms the body switch technique on him off-screen.
As a legion of soldiers rush into Cold's private office, he was quickly killed by Ginyu via strangulation before the guards arrived.
Legacy[]
Lasting decades after Cold's death, the former captain of the Ginyu Force stole the Frost Demon king's identity and reigned over the universe along with his sons, who were completely unaware of their father's true fate. Ginyu's ruse lasted up until the Multiverse Tournament, where the mutant would steal the body of Son Bra of Universe 16, leaving her to die in the body of Cold; though, after Vegetto's intervention, Bra was put back into her body and Ginyu returned to Cold's.
Following the Majin Rebellion after Cold's sons realize their "father's" true self, the brothers reluctantly agree to allow Ginyu to continue his rule, though they will renegotiate politics and sharing over the universe.
Power[]
In his second restriction form, King Cold is comparable to his two sons using their final forms. According to Ginyu his power is overflowing so much in this state that he feels like he is going to explode, thus solidifying Cold's incredible power.
In his first restriction form, King Cold's power level easily triumphs over his sons in their strongest forms. Similar to his U12 /U14 counterparts, he should at least be stronger than SSJ Goku after his Yardrat training.
In his True form, it is unknown how exactly strong Cold was before Captain Ginyu possessed it and later mastered it's power.
Statements[]
One Jaykal scientist believes that Commander Seggui already surpassed Cold after undergoing the experiments.[3]
Techniques[]
Flight: The ability to levitate by manipulating one's ki.
Form (Current)[]
Nekeru's Body[]
When Ginyu invaded his private corridors, King Cold was struct by his Body Change technique. Cold was subsequently killed by Ginyu, now Ginyu possessing King Cold's original body.
Form (Former)[]
Original Body[]
The body King Cold was born in and inhabited for most of his life. His Frost Demon body was later stolen by Ginyu.
Transformations (Former)[]
Third Restriction Form[]
King Cold does possess this form, but he has yet to be seen utilizing it in any format.
Second Restriction Form[]
King Cold uses and stays in this form for the majority of his appearances. He is comparable to Freeza and Coola in their true forms.
First Restriction Form[]
While Cold does possess this form, he was never shown to be using it besides when "Ginyu" used it to fight with Videl of Universe 9. Just like his counterparts from Universe 12 and 14, King Cold most likely has trouble controlling this form since he never train to properly control it.
True Form[]
King Cold's ultimate fighting form, and the state he was born in. According to Coola, the last time Cold used this form was when he was pregnant with Freeza long ago. So far King Cold has yet to master it (similar to his counterpart from Universe 7), until Ginyu takes over his body, whom completely masters the form.
Trivia[]
- Besides Ginyu, both Son Bra and North Kaioshin were also switched into King Cold's original body at some point in the Multiverse Tournament. In both cases, King Cold's body was in the Second Augmentation state.
- It is unknown if King Cold could ever use the 100% fighting form in his true state. However he never achieved the First and Second Augmentation states in his lifetime, something only Ginyu accomplished after stealing his body.
