* AdaptationExpansion: Chapter 13 adapts the opening sequence of Dragon Ball Super: Broly where Freeza takes control of the Saiyans and expands on the events.
** An in-universe explanation for Freeza's seeming AdaptationDyeJob to fully pink is offered, the pink form being a post-moulting state from [[spoiler:his earlier transformation into his second form]]. The lack of armor is attributed to it being broken [[spoiler:while transforming]] and there being not enough time to make another set. King Cold's more purple colorations are left unexplained.
** The Saiyans' perspective and discussion of Cold's arrival are shown.
** This version adds a brief moment of hesitation from Freeza, looking off to the side, distracted, before Cold snaps him out of it. A later scene, showing him expressing his displeasure at the low attendance of his welcoming party, suggests he may have been looking for Tsukiryuu.

As a grown-up Ryuu removes her poncho to wash her face in the river, he notices her breasts (which he initially mistakes for swelling from her earlier fight with Dodoria) and is quickly clued in to her actual gender.]] Not a spoiler to the reader, as Ryuu is referred to with her correct pronouns in dialogue from other Saiyans and Doctor Malaka.
* GivenNameReveal: Freeza's mother's name, Nova, is not revealed until Chapter 3. The name is never used outside of flashbacks.

** As stated numerous times above, Freeza is abrasive and entitled. However a lot of his interactions with Tsuyikuu borders on JerkWithAHeartOfGold.

Dragon Ball Unguarded is a [[FanWorks fanmade]] prequel following the exploits of a young Freeza, Cooler and King Cold. During the comic, Freeza makes an unlikely [[VitriolicBestBuds friend]] during the comic, and the narrative revolves around that. The comics appeal is that it serves as a backstory to Freeza and other material that has not been given in Dragon Ball canon.

Dragon Ball Unguarded is a [[FanWorks fanmade]] prequel following the exploits of a young Freeza, Cooler and King Cold. During the comic, Freeza makes an unlikely [[VitriolicBestBuds friend]] during the comic, and the narrative revolves around that. The comics appeal is that it serves as a backstory to Freeza and other material that has not been given in Dragon Ball canon.
While it is currently ongoing, Dragon Ball Unguarded currently has six chapters. The comic is updated every Tuesdays and Thursdays.
!Dragon Ball Unguarded provides examples of:
* AbusiveParents: King Cold is undoubtedly this. His spars with Freeza usually hospitalize him, and he, at one point, sent Freeza to a DeathWorld to try and conquer it, not caring if Freeza lives or dies.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Tsukiryuu, for being weaker than the rest of the Saiyans, is usually ostracized and deprived of food from the other Saiyans.
* AntiVillain: Remarkably, Dragon Ball Unguarded manages to turn [[GalacticConqueror Freeza]] into this. Freeza, while a {{Jerkass}} and [[BrattyHalfPint entitled]], shows hesitation in his more heinous actions, only serving to please his [[AbusiveParents father]]. He even shows more noble traits, like [[PaedoHunt saving a young Saiyan girl from being lured away by one of his own henchmen]].
* BenevolentBoss: Cooler is shown to be reasonable with his men, and he doesn't try to intimidate his men like his father.
* BigBrotherBully: Cooler is more than just a little abrasive with his brother, though that isn't to say that [[BrattyHalfPint Freeza isn't provoking him]].
* BrattyHalfPint: Freeza, while not concretely evil yet, is still abrasive, entitled and dickish overall.
* CheerfulChild: Tsukiryuu is usually seen with a happy expression, despite the situations she finds herself in.
* CovertPervert: Freeza spends most of his free time spying on the women of his race while they're either sunbathing or in hot tubs, [[{{Kidanova}} not that they mind, though]]. Though a lot of these are thwarted by [[MomentKiller Captain Ginyu]].
-->'''Captain Ginyu:''' Is this really how the little lord wants to spend his evening?\\
'''Freeza:''' (''{{Beat}}'') [[BluntYes Yes]]!
* DomesticAbuse: Aside from routinely beating both of his children, King Cold is also abusive towards their mother, Queen Cold. He, at one point, broke her hand because she disagreed with how he was raising Freeza.
* EarthShatteringKaboom: The prologue starts off with the destruction of Planet Vegeta, and in the comic proper Freeza has been shown blowing up the aforementioned DeathWorld, albeit on accident.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: The ''only'' person Freeza isn't seen being abrasive towards is his mother, Queen Cold. While the same is true for King Cold, Freeza is also not afraid of his mother.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Freeza, while not apparent at first, has been shown to be warming up to Tsuyikuu.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Freeza, having caught one of his fathers men trying to lure Tsukiryuu away for [[PaedoHunt what is implied to be unsavory purposes]], kills him in a rather [[{{Gorn}} messy way]].
* {{Kidanova}}: As stated above, whenever Freeza spies on the women of his race, they tend to be quite pleased with the fact that he's watching them.
* MistakenForGay: Though Freeza was really pressing his brothers buttons, he accused Cooler's interview of one of his henchmen as being one of his "salacious conquests".
* MomentKiller: Anytime Freeza happens to be watching women, Captain Ginyu, without fail, ''always'' swipes Freeza away.
* ReallyGetsAround: If whatever Freeza said happens to be true, Cooler is always on, what Freeza calls, "salacious conquests".
