Vegeta is no match for Frieza and is quickly incapacitated. Piccolo, Gohan, and Krillin are forced to stand idly by while Frieza continues to thrash the Saiyan prince. However, Goku finally arrives at the battlefield and confronts the tyrant, delivering a powerful kick to Frieza's face when he tries to attack Goku. Frieza then tries to kill Goku with a barrage of Death Beams, though Goku is able to easily deflect them all. Frieza finds Goku's appearance very surprisingly familiar, disturbing him. When Vegeta mocks Frieza, saying that Goku is the "real" Super Saiyan, the tyrant fires his Death Beam through Vegeta's heart, giving him just seconds to live. Before his death, Vegeta informs Goku that Frieza was responsible for the destruction of the Planet Vegeta and the entire Saiyan race; Vegeta begs Goku to defeat the tyrant and avenge their people, and even sheds true tears, which greatly moves Goku. Goku then makes a grave and buries Vegeta, before setting his sights on Frieza himself - vowing that he will defeat the merciless tyrant.
