Summary
Frieza has wanted revenge on Goku ever since the Saiyan defeated him on Namek in Dragon Ball Z. Frieza declared his ultimate revenge by defeating Goku with a single punch and leaving him alive to wallow in failure. This moment signifies Frieza's power over Goku and the Saiyan race, completing his revenge in Dragon Ball canon.
Since losing Goku on planet Namek, Dragon ballFrieza's ultimate villain, was obsessed with taking revenge on the Saiyan warrior. This was made clear when the Evil Emperor invaded Planet Earth in his new Mecha Frieza form shortly after his crushing defeat, and then again in the movie Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' . However, as it stands in Dragon Ball canon, Frieza got his ultimate revenge on Goku – and fans completely missed it.
In Dragon Ball chapter 325 by Akira Toriyama, Goku and Frieza are in the final stages of the climactic battle on Namek. At this point, Goku and the Z-Fighters effectively defeated Frieza, as they thwarted his plan to use the Dragon Balls to achieve immortality, and even found a way to undoing most of the damage Frieza caused to the entire Namekian race. All that's left is for Goku to finish Frieza off once and for all, but when it becomes clear that Goku's power surpasses Frieza's – who is rapidly losing energy – Goku simply stops fighting.

When Goku tells Frieza that he is done, despite the fact that both warriors are still standing, Frieza is dumbfounded and offended. The fact that Goku – a Saiyan – even had the audacity to challenge Frieza in battle was bad enough, let alone stand against him. But the fact that Goku stopped fighting because it was obvious that he was stronger than Frieza was an insult that the Evil Emperor could not accept. Although Goku would ultimately deliver the killing blow not long after, this moment is when Frieza truly lost – and the reason he sought revenge.
Frieza defeated Goku the same way Goku defeated him, thereby declaring revenge
Dragon Ball Super chapter 87 by Akira Toriyama and Toyotarou
In Dragon Ball Super chapter 87, Goku and Vegeta are in the midst of the final battle against the seemingly unstoppable Gas and his space-destroying crew known as the Heeters. Gas is magically given a level of power that makes him the strongest being in the universe, which means Goku and Vegeta must find ways to defeat him. But before they could, Frieza arrived and killed Gas like it was nothing.
After Frieza kills Gas, he reveals that he has been training in a time-displacement pocket dimension resembling the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for ten years. During that time, Frieza was not only removed from Gas' wish, but he also achieved a completely new transformation: Black Frieza. When showing Goku and Vegeta his new form, Frieza defeated them both with a single punch when they were at their strongest. Then, when it became clear that they were defeated, Frieza simply left them to their defeat.
In Frieza's eyes, letting Goku live is better than taking revenge than killing him
Frieza letting Goku live after clearly proving his superior strength by defeating him with a single blow when Goku was at his strongest was the ultimate revenge because of how Goku humiliated him in Namek. Not only that, Frieza can now enjoy the fact that Goku is only alive because he thinks so, and how – if he wanted to – Goku could easily be killed. In many ways, this also gives Frieza the power over the Saiyan race that he lost while ravaging their world, which is just the cherry on top of his ultimate revenge .
While it seems like their conflict is far from over, as Goku and Vegeta are currently training to become strong enough to rival Black Frieza, the upcoming battle will have nothing to do with these thoughts. Leftover feud from Goku and Frieza's first battle. Namek as well as their other subsequent conflicts, as Frieza got his ultimate revenge. Goku – And Dragon ball fans completely missed it.
