** Honestly, it seems like he was saving that fact for later. He didn't seem bothered when King Cold inadvertently told Freeza about Cell not only killing Goku, but Trunks, and just looked smugly at Freeza's shocked face.

** Freeza doesn't know that many people who would qualify to be in HFIL, let alone another HFIL. He also knows that King Cold would love the opportunity to bring his sons along on something. Freeza put two and two together and went "Oh shit, if Cooler is here, Father was bound to bring him along."

* Both of them were unconscious when Vegeta killed them, so they couldn't have known who it was. And Jeice couldn't have told them because he thought Goku killed them, and he ran off to get Captain Ginyu ''before'' Vegeta killed them. Did King Yemma tell them how they died or something?

* Maybe Raditz could be just apathetic, like someone serving a 30 year sentence but only 5 years in, and is not actually reformed and the ogres probably know he'd quickly slip back to his old ways if he got his Ki back.

** Maybe he's embarrassed about the circumstances - after all, he didn't actually ''defeat'' Goku, it was a sacrifice play. Goku died thwarting his attempt to destroy the world.

Why would Freeza even consider that Cooler, who was also very powerful (before the whole Super Saiyan thing) to be even in HFIL in first place?

[[folder: Frieza and the race joke.]]
* Why would Frieza assume that being white is “normal”? He’s a galactic conqueror who has presumably seen (and slaughtered) many alien civilizations. Hell, even among his own race, he’s the only white member. Did he just so happen to primarily encounter white-colored aliens in his 70+ years of conquest?
** Because it's ''[[HypocriticalHumor Fri]][[MoralMyopia eza]]''.

* That or King Yemma is still pissed at what he did and wanted Raditz to stay there longer. Remember Raditz managed to escape from Yemna before but ended up falling into HFIL and is most likely serving time for doing that.

*** Episode 4 shows that Cui *was* sent to HFIL at some point, since he appears in a group photo with Raditz, the Ginyus and Nappa. But since his biggest sin was hating Vegeta, it's likely he just didn't have a long stay there.
