It's... not a bad theory, but I went with a simpler one.

He knew it because it's not a technique passed down every 1,000 years to a specific chosen one, Goku picked it up literally because he happened to land on the planet, and they taught him how to move instantaneously free of charge.

It's also because Cooler's a f'cking boss.

And let's face it, Kid Majin Buu figured out how to do it just from seeing Goku use it, what, 2-3 times? Evidently it's not that hard, or Kid Buu is just that good.

Kid Buu didn't learn that move from Goku. Kid Buu uses Instantaneous Movement and learned it from seeing the fused kai save Goku and Vegeta from the world exploding.

And yes, Kid Buu learned it because he's just that good. Buu being able to copy moves after only seeing them once was an already established thing.

Goku, Super Perfect Cell, and Meta Cooler use Instant Transmission.

Kibito Kai and Kid Buu use Instantaneous Movement or whatever it's called.

He also can't procreate as far as I can tell. No genitals.

Well, tbf, a lot of animals have their genitals inside their bodies, where they're not visibly evident.

But yeah, he doesn't have a butthole either.....

If DBZA is to be believed, Freeza's mouth connects to his ear hole things.

Do you think we'll get a name for Frieza's race now that another one is on Champa's team?

Assuming it's not an alternate Frieza i guess.

But they do have an official name: Freeza Clan. He named his own species after himself.

Also, I'm glad the mystery red guy who is supposedly the strongest member of the team wasn't Mr. Satan. There's only so much of that meme I can take.

That meme is specifically an Earthling thing. I don't think Beerus would have fallen for it.

An Earthling and 'species of Alien terrified of dogs' thing. Word spreads fast. The rest of the galaxy probably thinks that an Earthling called Mr. Hercule Satan fought Beerus and drove him off. The parts of the galaxy that believe in Beerus anyway.

I can believe that. Still, that implies they had a different name before he showed up.

Freeza is a hybrid mutant creature, so he doesn't really have a "race" per se. His family is one-of-a-kind as a result of the whole mutant thing, so "Freeza clan" really is the most appropriate term here. Basically, the "race" didn't have a name before Freeza, because it effectively didn't exist before Freeza. This explains why Freeza, Kuriza, and Cooler (and possibly Cold, if you take away the horns) are the only ones who have the "4th form" look; Chilled was probably what Freeza's "race" looked like prior to mutating into their current incarnation.

His 1st form, which was an artificial form made by Freeza, probably was intended as a homage to his distant heritage.

Hybrid of what? I know he's a mutant but I've never heard him referred to as a hybrid.

I edited in the link.

(7) What is Freeza really, I mean, what type of species? How did he get so powerful? Why does he have an army when he can blow up the universe with the blink of an eye? - Joshua Dare, New York

T: There aren't many of them, but perhaps they are a new hybrid that came into existence from an accidental spontaneous mutation in our grandfathers' time. As for Freeza's men, he doesn't consider them an "army" so much as convenient followers.

Oh, so Toriyama is just using the word hybrid wrong then. Or faulty translation. Either or.

It's kinda funny that they need to ask the all knowing guy about the location of the center of the universe and not the Supreme Kais.It's kinda their job. [lol]

My personal fanon is that nearly the entire planet trade organization are humans, or rather are humans and those weird animal people that also populate Earth who mutated into unrecognizable forms over the last few thousand years and have forgotten their heritage.

Of course I'm also the one that says Saiyans were a human clan who revered monkeys that were blessed for their by primordial universal forces that were also responsible for Majin Buu with the ability to turn into werewolf monkey forms that would crush their enemies. Enemies who killed their sacred monkey pets whose spirits cried out for    vengeance!    and or prayed for the continued survival of their human friends.

So who do you guy think will face off in the tournament? I'm thinking Piccolo will fight purple Piccolo from Champa's team.
