Frieza really went out like a total idiot by hitting himself with his own attack and he deserved it for trying to backstab Goku after getting free energy

I can't believe Goku actually gave that monster energy to escape after everything he did to Krillin and I was actually glad to see him fail one last time

I think it was weirdly poetic how Frieza got taken out by his own attack and the way Goku gave him energy just shows how pure he is despite everything

I really thought Frieza would go out with some dignity but getting sliced by his own disks is just embarrassing for him

Goku letting Frieza live is exactly who he is as a person and it shows he will always be the bigger man even when dealing with the most evil guy around

Planet Namek is still somehow in one piece and Frieza is down for the count which probably makes Vegeta happy since he likely wanted both those guys to die in the blast

Seeing Frieza realize he messed up right before his own disc hit him was great because he really thought he was untouchable and then his own arrogance ruined him

Frieza really thought he could just use Krillin's move and get away with it, but seeing him literally get cut in half by his own attack was such a crazy way for it to end. I know some people hate that Goku gave him energy after everything that happened on Namek, but it really highlights the difference between those two guys.

Goku being a nice guy is one thing but giving energy to the person who murdered Krillin is just too much and that monster should have been finished off right there

The irony of Frieza using the kienzan only for it to chop him in half was perfect and it really showed how much better Goku is as a fighter

I actually liked that Frieza went out by his own hand, because it proves his ego was his biggest weakness and seeing Goku still show mercy after everything just feels right for his character.

That had to be the slowest five minutes in the history of the universe and it is good that this fight is finally wrapping up because the planet is literally falling apart

Frieza getting sliced by his own attack is the best kind of karma because he was acting way too cocky with Krillin's move and then he literally fell right into it

I am so annoyed that Goku gave Frieza some of his energy after what he did to Krillin and it makes zero sense to help that monster after he tried to kill everyone

That stupid tyrant really thought he could win after getting chopped up and he just could not accept that he lost to a saiyan so he threw it all away

Goku looked so disappointed in Frieza at the very end and that glare he gave him before the final blast was way more terrifying than any of his physical attacks

How is Goku supposed to get off Namek now that his ship is destroyed and everything is on fire and the ground is literally melting under his feet he is stuck

I was stunned when Frieza actually fired that last blast at Goku after getting a second chance at life and I have never wanted to see a villain lose more than this

Watching Frieza get sliced by his own move felt like a bit of a cop out, and the fact that Goku still tried to save him was just frustrating to watch

Vegeta is still such a jerk for wanting everyone to die just so he can be the strongest in the universe and his internal monologue really shows how much he hates Goku even now
