* SuperpowerfulGenetics: As was the case in canon, the offspring of the Saiyans are incredibly powerful. However the Cold Family do have a lineage of this, as one of their ancestors was the first to unlock the 5th form. It's implied only members of Frieza's bloodline can utilise this form.

JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: Frieza and Cooler both had their morality beaten out of them (sometimes literally) by King Cold after their mother died, and her influence with her.

MachiavelliWasWrong: A major theme.



NobleDemon: When you think about it, Queen Cold's percieved kindness and anti-Machiavellian philosophy only makes her look truly good when juxtaposed with the rest of her family.

!!!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]]

[[AlwaysChaoticEvil Always Lawful Evil]]: Averted. The narrative goes a long way to tell us that the Arcosian race as a whole is NOT evil.

ApologeticAttacker: [[spoiler:Frieza, when he destroys Metal Cooler and the [[SapientShip Big Gete Star]]

AxCrazy: Inyon.

BadBoss: Frieza and Cold, as well as Cooler to lesser extent.

DarkSkinnedRedhead: Inyon.

DeathWorld: Arcos, which lead to the Arcosian becoming incredibly powerful through natural selection alone.

[[spoiler:DomesticViolence: 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.]]

EvilEmpire: The Planet Trade Organization. [[spoiler:It is implied to have crumbled and broken apart once Arcos and the rebellion destroy each other.]]

MoralityChain: Pollari and Eis are mainly there to help show that there is the tiniest chance that Frieza's soul might not be [[CompleteMonster completely black and rotten]].

NobleDemon: When you think about it, Queen Cold's percieved kindness and anti-Machiavellian philosophy only makes her look truly good when juxtaposed with the rest of her family.

SlippySlideyIceWorld: Arcos, outside of its domed cities.

SuperiorSpecies: The entire Cold bloodline is stated to be made up of insanely strong freaks of nature, but the Arcosians are still possibly the strongest species in the universe on average.

ThemeNaming: In addition to Frieza's family, every single Arcosian introduced so far has a name somehow related to coldness.
