  • A fan theory suggests Majin Buu may have been responsible for the near extinction of the Frieza race in Dragon Ball.
  • Evidence cited includes a manga panel showing bodies resembling Frieza's race on a planet destroyed by Buu, and King Cold's warning to Frieza about Buu.
  • While unconfirmed, this theory offers a plausible explanation for the Frieza race's scarcity in the Dragon Ball universe.

For decades, the fate of the Frieza race has remained one of Dragon Ball's enduring mysteries. Beyond Frieza himself, his father King Cold, and brother Cooler, few other members of this powerful species have appeared, prompting speculation about their near disappearance.

After many decades, the origin and fate of the Frieza race remain one of the biggest mysteries in Dragon Ball Super.

โ€” NarratorIntroduction to the mystery of the Frieza race.

Dragon Ball Super has introduced new clues that fuel a popular fan theory: Majin Buu may be responsible for the Frieza race's demise. In chapter 445 of the manga, Elder Kai recounted Buu's history, noting his destruction of hundreds of planets. A panel depicting a Buu-ravaged world showed bodies strikingly similar to Frieza's first form, sparking the idea that Buu directly attacked the race.

This theory gains traction with King Cold's warning to Frieza, advising him to avoid two dangerous entities: Beerus and Majin Buu. While the Frieza family's awareness of the God of Destruction Beerus is understandable, their knowledge of Buu is puzzling. Buu's rampages occurred millions of years ago, suggesting the Frieza race must have encountered him directly or passed down memories of the threat.

In chapter 445 of the Dragon Ball manga, when Elder Kai Shin recounted the history of Majin Buu, he stated that this creature once destroyed hundreds of planets in just a few years after its appearance.

Although neither the author nor the production team has officially confirmed this, the convergence of details from the original manga and Dragon Ball Super has made the theory that Majin Buu contributed to the Frieza race's near extinction increasingly popular among fans. It remains one of the most compelling explanations for a mystery that has persisted throughout the series.

He advised his son not to confront two particularly dangerous entities: Beerus and Majin Buu.
