Bardock is responsible for the defeat and ultimate death of Chilled.
The Demise of Chilled
Chilled, a space pirate and a notable ancestor of the tyrannical Frieza, met his end at the hands of Bardock, the father of Goku. This pivotal event occurs during the special Dragon Ball Z: Episode of Bardock, where Bardock, having survived the destruction of Planet Vegeta and been sent back in time, confronts Chilled.
Upon his arrival on Planet Plant, Bardock quickly finds himself embroiled in a conflict with Chilled and his forces. Initially, Chilled, confident in his power, easily overwhelms Bardock. However, witnessing the suffering of the natives and the brink of his own demise, Bardock undergoes a legendary transformation, becoming a Super Saiyan. This newfound power dramatically shifts the tide of battle. With his golden hair and enhanced strength, Bardock utterly dominates Chilled.
The Final Confrontation and Chilled's Legacy
During their intense struggle, the Super Saiyan Bardock's power proved far too great for Chilled. Bardock delivers a devastating blow, ultimately defeating Chilled and leading to his death. As he lay dying, Chilled, concerned for his lineage, ensures his soldiers are tasked with warning the rest of his family about the fearsome Super Saiyan threat. His final, desperate message about the "golden-haired warrior" and his overwhelming power eventually becomes a deeply rooted legend within the Frieza clan, sowing the seeds of their future fear and obsession with the Super Saiyan transformation.
This confrontation is significant as it sets a historical precedent for the Frieza family's deep-seated fear of Super Saiyans, a fear that would eventually drive Frieza's own genocidal actions against the Saiyan race.
