This past Saturday, Frieza held a meet-and-greet at a shopping mall in Shiga Prefecture, Japan to promote the upcoming Dragon Ball Z movie. A Frieza cosplayer showed up and things got awkward.
Not awkward in a bad way! But awkward in a very good one. See how Frieza reacted to seeing a fan, Twitter user Tokoroten Poo, in full Frieza mode.
