After learning that Vegeta is on the Planet Namek, also trying to gather the Dragon Balls, and that his strength is growing rapidly, Freeza has a bad premonition about the saiyans and decides to send for the Ginyu Force so as to not take any unneeded chances. The force arrives five days later and are sent off by Freeza to capture Vegeta, kill his two companions (Kuririn and Gohan), and recover the Dragon Balls that Vegeta stole. Ginyu and his force quickly track them down and find all seven Dragon Balls with them. At first Ginyu plans to defeat Vegeta himself but the remainder of the force complains that they'd like the opportunity to fight and Ginyu concedes, allowing them to deal with Vegeta and the others while he brings the Dragon Balls back to Freeza.

Once Ginyu transfers the Dragon Balls to Freeza, they find that they can't use them. Remembering that one of the nameks had earlier told him that he wouldn't get his wish, even if he got all the balls, Freeza deduces that there must be some secret to using them. He checks his scanner for any living nameks and finds a few in an area that his forces didn't attack. Ginyu volunteers to force the secret out of them, but Freeza decides to go himself and assigns Ginyu to guard the balls in the meantime. He isn't there for long before Jheese, one of the members of the Ginyu Force, comes to retrieve him, stating that an incredibly powerful warrior (Goku) had arrived and now Reacoom, Butta and Gurd were dead. While Jheese wants to warn Freeza, Ginyu doesn't want to risk his reputation and decides to go himself to deal with the problem after having Jheese hide the Dragon Balls.

When he and Jheese arrive Ginyu determines that the fighter who defeated his men can hide his power level and pegs Goku to be around 60,000 instead of the 5,000 that his scouter shows. He quickly dashes in to start the battle when Goku is distracted momentarily by Vegeta's leaving, landing an elbow to Goku's face. They continue to fight and Ginyu is surprised when he realizes that Goku is faster than him. He manages to capture Goku in a full nelson, but releases him when he realizes that he only caught Goku because Jheese interferred, blocking Goku's path with a ki attack; he admonishes Jheese for this, threatening to kill him if he does it again. Quarter nelson as illustrated in Farmer Burns correspondence course, c 1912. ...
Ginyu tells Goku that he realizes Goku still isn't fighting at full strength, likely because he wants to conserve for an upcoming battle with Freeza himself. He warns Goku that he isn't to be trifled with like that and asks Goku to power up to his maximum, stating that it's likely to be around 85,000; he is therefore shocked when it goes up to 180,000 and asks if Goku is a Super Saiyan. Ginyu is initially distraught by this discovery and is further surprised when Goku tells him that he doesn't want to kill Ginyu, asking him to leave the planet instead. Ginyu begins to laugh at the situation and, after giving his scouter to Jheese, suddenly impales himself in the chest with his fist and uses his secret technique to switch bodies with Goku. Broly as a Super Saiyan. ...
 Ginyu trapped in a frog's body He leaves the now crippled Goku, who inhabits Ginyu's old body, and takes off with Jheese to wait for Freeza at his ship. When he arrives, he finds that the Dragon Balls have been dug up and is soon confronted by Kuririn who, naturally, assumes that he's Goku. Ginyu questions Kuririn and learns that he was not able to actually use the Dragon Balls before Gohan shouts out that it's not actually Goku. Ginyu then punches Kuririn and reveals who he is before attacking both Kuririn and Gohan; his fight is interrupted when Goku arrives and confirms that they switched bodies. Goku also tells Kuririn and Gohan that since he's having such difficulty using Ginyu's body, the reverse must be true as well. Ginyu scoffs at this and raises his power level as high as he can take it, but Jheese confirms that it's only 23,000. Ginyu now finds himself on the receiving end of a thrashing, unable to cope with Kuririn and Gohan's fighting abilities; his situation is compounded when Vegeta, after killing Jheese, attacks and quickly cripples him. As Vegeta charges in for the killing blow Ginyu attempts to switch bodies with him, this plan backfires when Goku leaps in the way though, causing him and Ginyu to return to their original bodies. Ginyu's not deterred by this though and makes a second attempt to switch bodies with Vegeta but Goku again interferes, this time throwing a frog in the path of his beam.
