Hi, Just wondering what was the point of Frieza's Hover chair?

As someone who can walk perfectly fine, but still insists on using those electric scooters at supermarkets, I am insulted.

Anyway in Freeza's case I always assumed it was supposed to be a kind of hovering throne.

The point is that it's freaking awesome! It makes him look like Professor X which is always cool :P

But seriously, I do agree with Captain Awesome. It sort of seems like Freeza's just using it as a way of intimdating people. In movie 5, Coola seems to have something similar in the opening scene, so maybe the brothers both came up with that idea :P

That would make sense. I wasn't sure if it was fully explained e.g "people under estimate him thinking he's in a wheelchair" or if it gave him power or something.

I think it's just the kind of thing a stuck up prince would sit in. "Why should one such as I dirty my feet when I could sit in the royal hover chair?"

From Daizenshuu 4's item guide:
Freeza’s Small Pod: A floating pod Freeza uses during his operations. The only reason Freeza uses this pod is for comfort, since if he wanted to he could fly faster than it.
So he's basically a lazy bastard (no offense to Captain Awesome).
Kanzenshuu: Is that place still around?

Oh don't worry, I hear that so often that I'm able to tune it out entirely.

I suppose one might think it's also to elevate him above his troops.

Also, flying throne, not dirting feet, etc...

Seems like Freeza's just vain enough to sit in his chair knowing he's better than everybody around him.

I'm surprised he didn't have his throne carried around by a bunch of soldiers or something.

It would've been cool to see Dodoria and Zarbon carry Freeza around carrying those big-ass poles. :lol:

So it's basically Frieza's segway.

Did you draw that? If so, that looks pretty good. I wish I could draw like that.

Well, when your busy traveling and conquering the universe, it's nice to travel on a floating toilet. :)

Dear God. I hope Freeza's not that lazy! :shock:

That I did.

I was bored and talking to a friend via Skype at the time, so it helped keep me awake :P.
