26* [[Characters/DragonBallFrieza Frieza]] is the tyrannical head of the [[Characters/DragonBallFriezasEmpire Galactic Frieza Army]], an organization that wipes out all life from planets, then sells the planets to the highest bidder. Prior to the events of the series, Frieza was responsible for destroying Planet Vegeta, [[FinalSolution bringing the Saiyan race to near extinction]] despite their loyalty, out of fear he was going to be overthrown by a Super Saiyan. Genocidal, arrogant, and sadistic underneath his [[FauxAffablyEvil polite exterior]], Frieza set a new standard for ''Dragon Ball'' villains.
27** ''Anime/DragonBallZ'': [[EvilOverlord Frieza]] learns about the Dragon Balls and [[Recap/DragonBallZNamekArc decides to invade Namek]], gradually wiping out the entire Namekian race, including children, even after acquiring the Dragon Balls. He also slaughtered several warriors and tortured Nail, Gohan, and Vegeta to near-death, and had Vegeta crying and begging Goku to stop Frieza, who then shoots Vegeta through the heart. He then killed Dende to [[ShootTheMedicFirst prevent the boy from healing anyone else]]. After narrowly avoiding being killed by Goku's Spirit Bomb, Frieza decides to punish Goku by killing all of his friends one-by-one, succeeding in blowing up Krillin and shooting Piccolo, before being stopped by Goku from harming Gohan. After being thoroughly beaten by the now Super Saiyan Goku, the dying Frieza begs for mercy and is given some energy by Goku, [[TheFarmerandTheViper which Frieza promptly uses to attack Goku]]. He later came back as a cyborg and went to Earth with his father to destroy it, where he was stopped and finally killed by Future Trunks.
28** ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'': [[AliensAreBastards Frieza]] is [[ResurrectedMurderer revived]] using [[Recap/DragonBallSuperGoldenFriezaArc Earth's Dragon Balls]], and turns his attention to getting revenge on the Saiyans.

Invading Earth, Frieza puts a bounty on Krillin, then tortures Gohan, amused by Piccolo jumping in front of the blast. Seeing Goten and Trunks, Frieza is angered that the Saiyans have offspring and intends to kill them too. Frieza kills all his minions to demonstrate his power, while declaring he would destroy the Earth and New Namek, so his evil deeds can't be undone. When cornered and fearing for his life, Frieza decides to [[TakingYouWithMe destroy the Earth to take out the Saiyans]]. When recruited by Goku into Team Universe 7 [[Recap/DragonBallSuperUniverseSurvivalArc for the Tournament of Power]], in exchange for being revived by the Dragon Balls, Frieza agrees but makes several attempts to betray Goku. Later Frieza [[Anime/DragonBallSuperBroly learns about Broly]] and decides to use him as a weapon against Goku and Vegeta, while also murdering Broly's father Paragus to trigger Broly's Super Saiyan transformation.

When he's asked to stop this by Goku, Babidi then announces that he'll have more people killed just to spite him. Finally, Babidi crushed the head of someone who gave him the names of Piccolo, Goten, and Trunks, [[DisproportionateRetribution just because he found the information to be useless]]. Babidi also constantly threatens Majin Buu when the latter doesn't obey him.
39** [[Characters/DragonBallMajinBuu Super Buu]] has agency over his actions, unlike his previous forms, and simply chooses to be an OmnicidalManiac. When Piccolo distracts Super Buu to allow Goten and Trunks time to master the fusion technique, Super Buu irritably uses his "Human Extinction Attack" to eradicate the entire population of Earth.

Absorbing Gohan as well, Super Buu declares he will use his newfound, nigh-limitless power to enjoy systematically wiping out all life on every planet in the universe he comes across. Becoming enraged by neither being able to overpower nor outsmart Vegito, Super Buu shrieks in frustration, releasing his power through them and begins warping the space between dimensions, causing them to collapse on each other and threatening the stability of the multiverse. A [[AxCrazy callous sadist]], Super Buu would happily snuff out all sapient life just to spite Vegito for besting him in combat.

56** [[Anime/DragonBallSuper Anime]]: [[KnightTemplar Zamasu]] is a former Kai from Universe 10 and apprentice to the Supreme Kai Gowasu, [[FantasticRacism having a strong distrust towards the mortals]], because they keep making the same mistakes. Once Goku shows a power capable of rivaling the gods, he considers the mortals as inherently evil and dangerous. Eventually falling into villainy, Zamasu plans to eradicate all mortals in the multiverse, with a scheme that he calls "[[FinalSolution Zero Mortals Plan]]". To enact this plan, Zamasu murders his own mentor Gowasu, stealing the Potara earrings to usurp his status as a Supreme Kai, and the time ring to travel through timelines. Then, he travels to another timeline to collect the Super Dragon Balls, exchange his body with Goku's and kill him right in front of his family, before killing them as well, solely out of spite. Knowing that no one would be willing to help him for his plan, Zamasu, as Goku Black, formed a team with a future incarnation of himself. Together, they proceed to travel to Trunks' timeline to destroy the Super Dragon Balls so that there is no way to reverse their plan, slaughter all gods to keep them from interfering, destroy many planets and slowly reduce humanity to near-extinction. Upon fusing together, "Fused" Zamasu proceeds to cause mass destruction on Earth just to demonstrate his power as the "[[AGodAmI ultimate god]]".

Killing his mentor Gowasu and stealing the time ring, Zamasu switches bodies with Goku and kills him before traveling to Future Trunks's timeline. Zamasu, now known as Goku Black, kills Future Gowasu and recruits his future counterpart. Together they {{kill the god}}s of the future timeline and wipe out mortals across the multiverse, scheming to spread their genocide across other timelines. Coming to Earth and sadistically wiping out its inhabitants, Goku Black toys with Future Trunks and mocks him about all the people he failed to save. Faced with time traveling Goku and Vegeta, Goku Black and Future Zamasu decide to kill all remaining humans, with Black even impaling time traveling Gowasu before fusing together into the [[AGodAmI self-proclaimed]] "One true god of the multiverse".

When on the back foot against Goku, Crimson proceeds to destroy Pseudo Planet Vegeta as well as Turles when the Saiyan enabled the heroes to escape. Crimson later reveals his goal of resuming his [[FinalSolution Zero Mortals Plan]] by using the energy accumulated within the Pseudo Universe to create "pseudo-mortals", whose lives will be tied to that of the mortals of Universe 7. By killing all the "pseudo-mortals", he could eliminate the Universe 7 mortals in one fell swoop without fear of interference from Zeno. Just as monstrous as his canon [[Characters/DragonBallZamasu incarnations]], Crimson was willing to wipe out all mortal life so he could fulfill [[KnightTemplar his own twisted vision of justice]].
