Summary

Frieza transformed into his Final Form

Having transformed into his ultimate form, Frieza begins an assault against the Z Fighters. He then proves just how evil he is by killing the only one who can't be healed by Dende, Dende himself. The next one on Frieza's hit list, Gohan, but a surprise move from Vegeta saves Gohan from certain destruction. He then makes a bizzare and unprecedented claim, he says he will take on Frieza all by himself, because he believes for sure he is now a Super Saiyan.
