Original celga (cel + genga) created for Dragon Ball Z, Episode 94, produced by Toei Animation in 1991. As a complete production pairing from the climax of the Namekded in the green sky of Planet Namek during one of the most pivotal moments of the Frieza Saga. The cel captures his chilling composure immediately following the impact of the Genki-Dama, a moment that defined him as one of anime’s most enduring villains. The cel and its matching genga form a complete celga setup from the original production.
This episode aired during the period when Minoru Maeda’s character designs and Yukio Ebisawa’s supervision shaped the visual identity of early-1990s Dragon Ball Z. Their influence is visible in the precise anatomy, dense shading, and saturated Namek palette that distinguish this era. The stillness in Frieza’s expression reflects the narrative tension that made the arc historic across shonen storytelling.
