Despite not appearing until the manga's second half, Frieza is widely considered to be the most iconic and popular villain in Dragon Ball, and the archenemy of Goku – since he effectively catalyzes many of the events depicted in the story, due to the destruction of the Saiyan homeworld Planet Vegeta at his hands and Goku's arrival on Earth and subsequent conflicts with Raditz, Nappa and Vegeta. Frieza later appears as the primary villain in the 2015 film ''Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' and as a recurring character in Dragon Ball Super.
