Frieza killed King Vegeta.
Frieza, the tyrannical emperor of the universe, extinguished King Vegeta's life during the Saiyan's attempt to overthrow him. King Vegeta, leading a force of elite Saiyan warriors, confronted Frieza directly, hoping to end his reign of terror. However, Frieza's overwhelming power proved too much. He dispatched King Vegeta with a single, devastating punch. This event highlights the immense power disparity between Frieza and the Saiyans at that time.
The death of King Vegeta signified not only the loss of the Saiyan king but also the utter subjugation of the Saiyan race under Frieza's rule. It also set the stage for Vegeta's later ambition to surpass Frieza and avenge his father's death and the destruction of Planet Vegeta.
