To run an all-powerful empire, you have to have the best of the best serving by your side. Frieza, the most famous villain in the entire Dragon Ball Canon, has had some of the strongest warriors in the universe serving under him. However, despite having the likes of the Ginyu Force, Zarbon, and more by his side, there have been a few soldiers that we have to ask why. Why would Frieza let these members walk in the same armor as some of the before-mentioned servants of his armed force?
So, we decided to take a look at five of the weakest members of the Frieza Force, as well as 5 of the strongest. We only have one rule for someone to make it on this list. They have to serve Frieza until their death, so people like Broly or Vegeta won't be counted.
10 Weakest Member: Guldo
Where to begin with Guldo? Despite having advanced telekinesis, Guldo remains one of the weaker members of the Frieza force. While we would have given him some slack because he was fighting two-on-one, that doesn't make up for his lack of fighting capability.
He's a short, green blob of a soldier that nearly killed Gohan and Krillin, and he couldn't predict that Vegeta was going to intervene and decapitate him? He knew that Vegeta wasn't to be trusted to stay on the sidelines. But no, head chopped off and blasted by Vegeta.
9 Strongest Member: Shisami
Shisami was one of the newer members of the Frieza Force, working with his fellow troopers to take on the Z-Fighters when Frieza wanted to kill Goku with his new Golden transformation. Though he didn't have much in the way of screen time, he made an impact by being able to go toe-to-toe with Piccolo.
While things looked bleak for the Namekian warrior, Gohan had to intervene to take him down, as a Super Saiyan. While Shisami went out like any other member, you got to give credit to him because it took a Super Saiyan to take down this member of the Frieza Force.
8 Weakest Member: Cui
Do you remember Cui? Probably not. Claiming to be Vegeta's long-time rival, Cui didn't last too long when he went up against him.
While we would have believed that he was a strong as Vegeta if we saw some flashback of the two competing, it's hard to believe that Cui was ever as strong as Vegeta when he went up against Goku.
7 Strongest Member: Zarbon
They say that you should never judge a book by its cover, and Zarbon perfectly fits this description. On the surface, Zarbon appears to be just another pretty boy, no stronger than Hercules. However, underneath his beauty is the power of a monster.
When Zarbon first went up against Vegeta, the Saiyan Prince suffered a significant defeat. It wasn't until Vegeta was put into the rejuvenation chamber and healed up that he was able to kill Zarbon.
6 Weakest Member: Jeice
Jeice was one of the last members of the Ginyu Force to stay alive, but that doesn't mean he was one of the strongest. While he's a much better member of the Ginyu Force than Guldo, that doesn't do much for everyone's favorite Space Australian. When going up against Goku with Burter, neither one of the two was able to lay a single attack on the Saiyan warrior.
Hell, the guy doesn't even have a neat gimmick or power when compared to his fellow members. No addition strength, power, or ability that makes him stand out from his fellow teammates. It's easy to see how Vegeta was able to blast away Jeice with ease. He could have probably done that before his fight with Recoome... Speaking of which.
5 Strongest Member: Recoome
Recoome was the muscle man of the Ginyu Force. While he wasn't as alien-looking as other members of the Ginyu Force, he made up for it with his immense strength. With a simple energy blast, Recoome was able to destroy an island with ease.
Recoome was so powerful, he made short work of Vegeta, Krillin, and Gohan within a few minutes. If it weren't for Goku coming in and taking the Big Lug out, DBZ would be one of the shortest and saddest animes to come out.
4 Weakest Member: Sorbet
Sorbet isn't a fighter like the rest of the members of the Frieza Force, which alone makes him one of the weakest members. Despite this, he does have the distinction of being the first person to defeat Super Saiyan Blue Goku. When Goku's back was turned, Sorbet launched a laser that powered down Goku and gave Frieza the chance to land a few blows to his arch-enemy.
While it's pretty decent that he was able to take out Goku, his blast wasn't enough to kill him, and he forgot that Vegeta was around. You should know if you're a villain and are near Vegeta, you won't be leaving alive
3 Strongest Member: Tagoma
This was a difficult one to judge. On the one hand, Tagoma was killed by Frieza in Ressurection of F by being flushed into space. On the other hand, in Dragon Ball Super, he was able to take on the Z-Fighters.
While Gohan gave Tagoma a good punch, not even his best blow was able to hurt Tagoma. He was able to brush it off like it was nothing, thanks to the intense training he endured with Frieza. The only blow that gave him any damage was when Gotenks headbutted him in the Dragon Balls.
2 Weakest Member: Frieza Army on Earth
Let's face it, Frieza's army was not in fighting shape when Frieza came back. Aside from Shisami and Tagoma, the entire Force was practically useless when they came to earth.
It would be easy to see why Gohan and Piccolo were having little trouble taking them down, but Krillin, Jaco, Master Roshi, and Tien were able to fight and defeat all 1,000 members of the "new" Ginyu Force. We're pretty sure that even Yamcha could take down all these guys.
1 Strongest Member: Captain Ginyu
Who else were you expecting? Captain Ginyu was easily Frieza's mightiest and most loyal member of his elite squadron. He has a team named after him. That alone makes him a prominent soldier, but he was powerful enough to take Goku on in a head-to-head showdown.
What makes him stand out from the rest is his ability to swap bodies with anyone. It makes you wonder if his purple body is his original one. After swapping Bodies with a Frog, Ginyu lived on Earth until he was able to switch bodies with Tagoma and helped Frieza with fighting the Z-Fighters... too bad that Vegeta killed him with one blast.
