Everyone Misunderstood Why King Cold Gave Frieza The Empire

King Cold ran the empire for centuries and then handed it to Frieza. He had two sons, and Cooler was the stronger one. Everyone reads that as favouritism. It was not, and the real reason is uglier. Cold did not pick the better ruler. He picked the son whose ambition made him predictable, because an heir who wants the throne can be managed and a son who wants nothing cannot. And he never actually let go, travelling alongside Frieza for years afterwards, present at every step. This video works out what Cold was really doing, why Cooler took the smaller command without complaint, and what it means that the father was still standing next to the throne he had supposedly given away. #dragonball #kingcold #frieza #cooler #dragonballz #dbz #friezaforce #trunks #dragonballtheory #anime #dbzlore #explained
