Why did Ginyu never steal Freeza's body?

[Kamiccolo9]

Question is in the title.

[Insertclevername]

Maybe Ginyu was fine with his position and didn't really want to be ruler of the universe. I also can't seem to remember any instances where Ginyu was afraid Freeza was going to kill him or anything. Besides, it'd be incredibly risky. If he fucks up, he's done for.

[FoolsGil]

Because Toryama didn't plan things out? There's no way a Body Snatcher would be submissive to anyone, and sounds like a more interesting baddie, but whatever

I guess in story, Ginyu never had aspirations to rule, or figured being Freeza can be more trouble than its worth, especially if Freeza's family finds out. Finally, Freeza is just too fast to be caught by that attack since he already knows about it.

Where is it said that Freeza knows about the attack?

[mAcChaos]

1) Freeza would probably dodge it easy.

2) He was too loyal. Look at him.

He also seemed to think of himself as a professional. Attacking your client is not exactly professional.

Perhaps Ginyu only switches bodies when he needs to.

Where is it said he doesn't?

[Dr. Machismo]

He's too loyal to do such a thing, obviously.

[Super Saiyan Turlast x4]

I always assumed Freeza was too powerful for it to be effective.

Aside from that, Ginyu really seemed to admire Freeza, so it's possible that he just preferred to work with him rather than defy him.

Three reasons:

1. Freeza is insanely fast, and wouldn't just stand still while Ginyu screams like an idiot.

2. Ginyu is actually genuinely loyal to Freeza.

3. Even if Ginyu possesses Freeza, that doesn't mean he'll be able to transform or anything. Given that Freeza is always surrounded by soldiers, there's practically no time he can do this where everyone won't see him. King Cold will proceed to murder the crap out of him.

It's not like it takes Ginyu a long time to do the move. It looked like it took mere seconds in the manga. And there have been times where Frieza was alone with Ginyu.

That and he might not actually have to say "change" to initiate the technique. That was just something added on the anime's part.

[TheGmGoken]

Freeza COULD(not saying he do) know about the attack.
He's to loyal to Freeza to do so. He respects him
He doesn't want to rule the universe and is fine in his place.

[Zephyr]

Maybe he already has and the roles we've seen in the series were reversed the entire time?

[Son Edo]

I like the theory that Ginyu is extremely loyal to Freeza. He was pretty happy being 2nd strongest next to Freeza and went completely nuts when Goku surpassed him. So yeah, loyalty and happy with his current position.

[IDreamtIWasABee]

Ginyu didn't find Freeza pleasing to the eye. As the leader of a bunch of cheerleaders, it's plausible that he was image-obsessed; his vanity simply wouldn't let him take Freeza's body unless his life was in danger.

Had he seen Freeza's final form, he might have changed his mind, but between his purple body and Goku's, Ginyu seems to prefer a bulkier look.

[heatherp]

If Ginyu couldn't handle, and get the full power out of Goku's body, what makes you think he could handle Freezas? Maybe he simply knew he couldn't so he never tried. Goku didn't have insane power yet so maybe he thought eh I could use him, but he knew Freeza is the strongest in the universe so he couldn't.

[DBZ Mick]

I figured he was too loyal to Freeza to try.

Better question- What would happen if Ginyu stole Gotenks body?
