Editing King Cold (section)

==Personality==
King Cold exhibits a calm, high-class demeanor with refined mannerisms. While not as sadistic as his son Frieza, he shares a strong sense of arrogance and impatience. King Cold holds his family in high regard, as shown by his shock and anger upon learning that Frieza was defeated on Namek, and his eagerness to avenge him. He is pleased when the repair of Frieza into Mecha Frieza is successful. In the dub of ''Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge'', Cooler mentions that King Cold "spoiled Frieza rotten." In ''Broly'', King Cold pats Frieza on the back, though Frieza does not reciprocate the gesture, frowning and later brushing Cold's hand off when introducing himself to the Saiyans.

Despite his apparent affection, King Cold seems to be somewhat critical of Frieza, as shown by his frequent put-downs while Frieza was fighting Future Trunks. There are hints that King Cold may have been physically abusive, as Frieza admits that, before Goku, King Cold was the only one who had ever caused him pain or made him "dust himself off." Frieza also refers to his father as "loving," although this remark may have been sarcastic.

Despite his supposed deep concern for his family, King Cold seems untroubled by the idea of replacing them if they are killed, as shown when he tries to recruit Future Trunks after the latter kills Frieza. However, this could have been a ploy, as he may have recognized that fighting [[Future Trunks]] wasn't in his favor, particularly while Trunks still had his sword. King Cold also displays more restraint than Frieza, as seen when he expresses shock at Frieza's reckless attempt to vaporize Future Trunks with a Death Blaster, fearing it would "destroy [them] all."

King Cold appears to have a strong interest in weapons. Before attacking Future Trunks with his own sword using the Dirty Slash technique, he admires the blade, noting that it was crafted by a master. He may have been responsible for the Cosmic Suit and the additional armaments of Mecha Frieza's Full Armor in ''Super Dragon Ball Z'', though he himself does not seem to use swords or other weapons in combat.

Although King Cold is the head of the Frieza Force, his role and existence are unknown to all but his immediate family. He manages the organization from behind the scenes, with Frieza serving as its public face. Most members of the Frieza Force, including Vegeta, are unaware of King Cold's existence, likely because [[King Vegeta]] never informed [[Vegeta]] before his death. However, a select few henchmen, such as Sorbet, are directly under King Cold's control and are aware of his existence.

In ''Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F''', it is revealed that King Cold is well-informed about the universe, as he warned Frieza not to challenge either [[Beerus]] the Destroyer or [[Majin Buu]], recognizing that their power far surpassed that of himself or his sons.

King Cold also has a level of familiarity with and fear of Super Saiyans, possibly due to his ancestor [[Chilled]], who was mortally wounded by a time-displaced [[Bardock (Dragon Ball Z)|Super Saiyan Bardock]]. Upon witnessing Future Trunks' transformation, he acknowledged the form but did not fear it as much as Frieza, confidently believing he could defeat Future Trunks if the Saiyan was disarmed. However, after witnessing the true power of a Super Saiyan, Cold's hidden cowardice emerged, and he begged Future Trunks for mercy, but to no avail. In ''Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot'', this fear is further highlighted during a side story in which Cold is revived. After witnessing Super Saiyan Gohan's strength, Cold attempts to conceal his fear with a shaky acknowledgment of Gohan, even claiming he would treat Gohan as his son in place of Frieza.

King Cold seems to care little for his eldest son, Cooler, viewing him as soft and only pretending to ally with him to help obtain [[Hatchiyack]]'s Dragon Ball on the Prison Planet. However, he refrains from taking violent action against Cooler unless absolutely necessary.

It is subtly implied that King Cold's working relationship with the Saiyans was more respectful than Frieza's. During King Cold's final visit to Planet Vegeta, King Vegeta greeted him with a handshake, but King Cold ignored it to announce Frieza as his successor. The Saiyans were then instructed to kneel before Frieza, likely because King Cold did not want to appear soft in front of his son, whom he described as being stricter and more cruel than himself.
