Scientists use science to explain the transformations of DragonBallZ's Frieza!
✖ Since first being introduced in Dragon Ball Z as the alien responsible for the destruction of the Planet Vegeta and the vast majority of the Saiyan Race, Frieza has been one of the most popular villains created by Akira Toriyama.
Masayuki Kato and Yudai Okuyama might focus on different practices in the world of science, with the former being a teacher of science and the latter being a researcher for the National Museum of Nature and Science who specializes in evolutionary biology specifically, but they're Dragon Ball fans through and through.
Kato:"Speaking of changing shapes and colors, there are a lot of characters in the world of Dragon Ball like Frieza, Cell, and the Super Saiyans who can do just that! I'm here on orders from the editing department to talk about Dragon Ball characters in the context of evolution, but is evolution really the right word to describe Frieza's different forms or the Super Saiyan transformations? I'm a little dubious myself, but what do you...
Okuyama:"I'd have to agree. I don't think those would classify as evolution. It's Metamorphisis. Evolution is when a group—not an individual—undergoes transgenerational changes to their nature or properties. Take plants, for example. The shape of their flowers has evolved over many years through their relationship with other organisms that play a role in pollination.
What's your favorite Frieza transformation from the history of Dragon Ball? Do you think Dragon Ball Super will give us a new form past Golden Frieza? Feel free to let us know in the comments or hit me up directly on Twitter @EVComedy to talk all things comics, anime, and the world of Dragon Ball.
