In _Dragon Ball Super_ , Frieza is shown to have surpassed the limitation of
his golden form, the stamina drain.

Why isn't he permanently in this form? Is there anything stopping him from
doing so?

Why isn't Frieza permanently in his golden form?


Using any form of transformation requires some amount of Stamina irrespective
of however well you adapt to the form and you master the form.

For example, an exhausted Goku or Vegeta, wouldn't be able to turn into a
Super Saiyan if their stamina is completely depleted. One good example is in
_Dragon Ball Super Episode 128_ , Vegeta's stamina is completely depleted and
he isn't even able to turn into a regular Super Saiyan during his fight with
Jiren, [ which you can see here.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7BXRfk9uGQ)
And it is obviously fair to say, Goku and Vegeta should have perfect mastery
of the Super Saiyan forms by now.

Frieza's Golden form is immensely powerful and the stronger the
transformation, it wastes greater stamina and usually has a greater toll on
the body. Further proof of this is when Frieza fights Cabba. After Frieza
turns into his Golden form and completely overwhelms SSJ2 Cabba, he says
something along the lines of, _"Spending excess stamina on trash is such a
waste"_ , [which you can see
here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwWDAv0QLz0).

When Frieza mastered the transformation, what he basically did was begin to
use the transformation as optimally as he could. In other words, you could
compare it to Goku and Vegeta using Super Saiyan Blue as optimally as they
can. Even though you could say they have the Super Saiyan Blue transformation
mastered, they would rather use the Super Saiyan forms or fight in their base
against a weaker opponent than waste excess stamina in a much more powerful
form. This is why Frieza only transforms into his Golden Form when he has an
opponent who he cannot defeat in his final form.

Well, he still has stamina problems, but let's say he didn't. The reason why
he doesn't stay in that form is the same reason Goku doesn't stay in Super
saiyan, even though he mastered that form can sleep in that form with no
stamina drain.

It's just because they don't want to.
