!!!Tropes in The Fall of Lord Frieza:

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Cooler's resentment toward Frieza, and their SiblingRivalry, is all due to the fact that Frieza was stronger, [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority and was therefore chosen as King Cold's heir]]. [[spoiler:It is this same resentment which leads him to eventually discovering his fifth form.]]

* DarkSkinnedRedhead: Inyon has ebony skin and crimson hair.

** Janemba.[[spoiler: Taken UpToEleven when he gets hit with the Majin Symbol and becomes a giant, grotesque, centipede-like monster.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: During his journey to Earth, Frieza (in disguise) will sometimes indirectly help people while achieving purely selfish objectives. For instance, he destroys a group of bandits because he wants their fuel. Nevertheless, he'll be praised as a hero by the unsuspecting populations. Each time, Frieza will note that it feels good to be seen as such and not just feared, even though he's not trying to make amends yet. [[spoiler:This is one of the early clues of his eventual HeelFaceTurn.]]

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8522508/1/The-Fall-of-Lord-Frieza The Fall of Lord Frieza]]'' is a ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' FanFic by Mr. Arkham. The main story breaks off from canon when Frieza decides not to throw Goku's borrowed energy back at him at the end of their battle on Namek. After flying off (with his [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe missing half]] in tow), and being found King Cold, he decides to return to his home planet, Arcos, and train to take revenge on the Z-Fighters.

* PapaWolf: Goku, [[spoiler:and surprisingly enough, Frieza after the 7-year TimeSkip]]

** And yet before that, Frieza was superior, [[spoiler:and after Frieza attains the fifth form and Cooler is returned to his organic body, Cooler is just a bit behind, only for Frieza to surpass him again when he attains his sixth]]

** Strangely enough, [[spoiler: Hatchiyack, who was originally an experiment into the limits of soft AI, before being turned into a Saiyan killing machine]]

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Bulma, and Launch (When she's in her good form.)

* [[spoiler: DemonicPossession: It's not actually demonic, but Dr. Raichi takes control over Goku's body through NanoMachines after he lets his guard down.]]

* [[spoiler: DomesticAbuse: It's not exactly the most common use of the trope, but King Cold killed his queen for trying to convince Frieza and Cooler to be kind rulers (or at least not complete tyrants) when one of them takes over the empire.]]

* [[IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming Idiosyncratic Chapter Naming]]: Each chapter title in the first part of the story is named after an adjective describing what state Frieza is in during the chapter.

* [[spoiler:EverybodyLaughsEnding: The end of the Raichi saga.]]

The fic is notable for being well-written and in character, with lots of believable Orignal characters, in addition to providing massive amounts of character development and backstory for not only Frieza, but also his family, his entire species, and his empire.

* EarthShatteringKaboom: [[spoiler: General Kanchapp blows up Arcos during the rebellion, [[MoralEventHorizon just to give his forces a tactical advantage.]] ]] [[spoiler: Not surprisingly, this triggers Frieza's RageBreakingPoint.]]

** Frieza vs a rather powerful bandit gang. It's like watching [[FistOfTheNorthStar Kenshiro]] fight a [=FotNS=] filler villain.
