DB Unguarded

About the Comic
Unguarded is a Dragonball Z fan-created webcomic focusing on a fabricated backstory for the character of Freeza. It is produced purely for entertainment purposes. While a genuine effort is made to follow canon, some changes have been intentionally made for reasons ranging from creative preferences to narrative necessity.

Controversies/Changes to canon

 * Cooler is canon for the purposes of this story
 * Freeza and Cooler have a mother. The reason for this is that Ladytygrycomics is taking advantage of the ambiguity of Toriyama's statement about Freeza's origins/parental heritage in a translated interview you can read more about here http://www.kanzenshuu.com/translations/episode-bardock-akira-toriyama-super-qa/
 * In order to avoid semantic misuse, it was necessary for the author to give Freeza's race a name (Interestingly, they were never officially given one). So for the purposes of this story they will be referred to as "Arcosians" (from the Ocean dub).
 * Some dates and ages have been altered slightly in order to more cohesively fit Ladytygry's script (such as Vegeta's father's age).
