Editing King Cold (section)

===Android/Cell Saga===
After learning of his son's desperate struggle against a [[Goku|Super Saiyan]] on Planet Namek, King Cold and his crew hurry to Namek to assist Frieza. However, they arrive after the planet has already exploded due to one of Frieza's attacks. Despite being in disbelief that his son could be destroyed by a mere planetary explosion, the enraged King Cold searches through the debris of Namek's remains. In his anger, he telekinetically shatters his spaceship's cockpit window, causing one of his soldiers to be sucked into space. King Cold then vows that if Frieza has truly been defeated, he will personally avenge his son.

Eventually, Frieza's subordinates discover Frieza's battered remains and bring them to King Cold's planet, where Cold's scientists successfully rebuild him with mechanical limbs. When Frieza awakens, he informs his father about the Super Saiyan who nearly destroyed him. They soon learn that the Super Saiyan is heading to Earth. Although King Cold suggests destroying the planet from space, Frieza devises a different plan. He intends to reach Earth before the Super Saiyan and kill the earthlings to make the Super Saiyan suffer. Afterward, Frieza, with Cold's assistance if necessary, plans to have a rematch with the Super Saiyan, confident that victory will be assured.

When King Cold and Mecha Frieza arrive on Earth in the Northern Wastelands, Cold grants his son permission to kill Goku's friends and orders his soldiers to eliminate anything they encounter. Suddenly, Future Trunks appears and effortlessly defeats all of Cold's minions. To Frieza's horror and Cold's curiosity, Future Trunks transforms into a Super Saiyan, survives all of Frieza's attacks (much to Cold's annoyance), and swiftly kills Frieza with his sword, disintegrating his remains.

King Cold, believing that the youth's power comes solely from his weapon, offers Future Trunks the opportunity to take Frieza's place, even offering him planets. Trunks unabashedly declines, which does not concern Cold, who believes the boy is only strong because of the sword.

Attempting to acquire the weapon, Cold asks to examine the blade. Once the sword is in his hand, Cold strikes at the youth, but to his shock, Trunks effortlessly catches the blade. The youth then overpowers King Cold and shoots a God Breaker through Cold's chest, sending him flying into a cliff. Trunks immediately vaporizes Cold's body.

In the anime, Cold does not die immediately from the first blast. Instead, he retains consciousness and begins to beg for his life, offering all the planets he has conquered and implying that he would change his ways. However, his pleas for mercy are ignored, and Trunks quickly finishes him off with another God Breaker, much to the shock of the Dragon Team. King Cold's cells were later collected by [[Dr. Gero]]'s Remote Tracking Device to help create [[Cell]].
