Planet Freeza No. 79 is a fictional celestial body that appears in the Dragon Ball franchise, one of an unknown number of planets under Freeza's control in Universe 7. It is first seen in chapter 246 of the original Dragon Ball manga, which debuted in the 1989 #36 issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump, released 17 October 1989 in Japan.

General Overview

As its name would suggest, Planet Freeza No. 79 is a planet controlled by Freeza, serving as the central base for his forces;[1] it is one of an unknown number of planets (possibly in the hundreds[2]) that Freeza and his forces have under their control. Fluffy trees cover its ground.[1]

Upon hearing that Freeza has departed, Vegeta assumes that Freeza must have "already gotten tired" of the planet.[3]

Planet Freeza No. 79 is located eighteen days' worth of space pod travel from Earth.[4][5][1]

Production

An Akira Toriyama sketch/design of Planet Freeza No. 79[6]

Planet Freeza No. 79 was designed by Akira Toriyama for the original Dragon Ball manga series. An original production sketch of the planet can be seen, among other designs for various series, in the 1990 Akira Toriyama - The World art book.[6]

Name

Planet Freeza No. 79 uses the phrasing structure of 惑星 (wakusei) + name similar to "Planet Vegeta", as opposed to name + 星 (sei) similar to "Planet Namek".

Per the furigana alongside the abbreviation[7] and numerals[4], the number within the planet's name is spoken aloud in English as "number seventy nine".

Inhabitants

Descriptive names of various characters seen on Planet Freeza No. 79, from the 1991 Carddass series as seen in Dragon Ball Extra Daizenshuu: Carddass Perfect File Part 1[8]

At the time of Vegeta's landing on November 22 in Age 762[9], several other members of Freeza's organization are present on Planet Freeza No. 79. Other than Kewi, all of these characters are unnamed in these initial appearances, and are instead given descriptive names in supplemental media (such as their 1990s Carddass cards[8]), with two characters in particular receiving different descriptors each in 1996's Dragon Ball Daizenshuu 7: Dragon Ball Large Encyclopedia[10] and 2013's Dragon Ball Chōzenshū 4: Dragon Ball Super Encyclopedia[11], respectively:

Planetary Warrior A (惑星戦士A[8]) / Planet Freeza No. 79 Controller (惑星フリーザNo.７９の管制員[10])
Debut: Dragon Ball Chapter 246 / Dragon Ball Z Episode 40
Japanese VA: TBD

A mustached, human-esque alien with a scouter, depicted with blue hair in the television series and red hair in his Carddass card; ostensibly mans the control room.[4][7]

Planetary Warrior B (惑星戦士B[8])
Debut: Dragon Ball Chapter 246 / Dragon Ball Z Episode 40
Japanese VA: TBD

An Appule-esque alien with a scouter, depicted with purple skin in the television series and blue skin in his Carddass card.[4][7]

Regular Soldiers (雑兵たち[8])
Debut: Dragon Ball Chapter 246 / Dragon Ball Z Episode 40
Japanese VA: TBD

Three miscellaneous soldiers, two with helmets (specifically "Helmet 2" variants) and all with scouters, who line up as Vegeta's space pod lands, curious as to why Nappa's pod is not alongside him.[4][7]

Doctor (ドクター[11] / 医師[8])
Debut: Dragon Ball Chapter 246 / Dragon Ball Z Episode 40
Japanese VA: Kazumi Tanaka (Z), Shinobu Satōchi (Kai)

A small, bird-like alien that treats Vegeta in the Medical Machine.[4] He speaks politely[11], and is depicted with orange hair in the television series.

Kewi (キュイ)
Debut: Dragon Ball Chapter 246 / Dragon Ball Z Episode 40 (flashback) / Dragon Ball Z Episode 43
Japanese VA: Kōji Totani (Z), Eiji Takemoto (Kai)

A purple-skinned alien that mocks Vegeta. Addressed with the "-sama" honorific by the doctor.[4][3] One of Freeza's henchmen, though rather cowardly for an elite soldier. He and Vegeta have been on bad terms for ages, and with a battle power of 18,000, he is evenly matched in terms of raw power with Vegeta from before he left for Earth. With defending Freeza's command as an excuse, he attempts to kill Vegeta, but instead winds up dying in a single blast.[12]

Game (ゲーム)

A machine used by Freeza and his men to treat the injured, installed in places such as Planet Freeza No. 79 and inside Freeza's spaceship. Medical Machines are capable of almost completely healing any injury in a short period of time. The patient is put inside a capsule-shaped machine, then treatment liquid is pumped in and the patient is sent oxygen through a mask. The suction pads attached to the head and body function by sending out a special electric wave that heals the injured body. There are old models and new models, but they differ only in recovery time, and have the same overall effectiveness. As an extreme example, they are capable of even fully regenerating a blinded eye, but it seems they are unable to regenerate scars that have already healed, or boney appendages such as a Saiyan's tail. In addition, while they can fully recover stamina lost through fatigue, they do not heal a lack of sleep.[15]
