Bardock (DBS)

History Bardock is a low-level Saiyan mercenary who makes his living by traveling to various planets to decimate their defenses and prepare them for Freezer’s Planetary Market. Bardock was famous for his courage even among the Saiyans. After being saved by him several times on the battlefield, Gine (his wife) developed feelings for Bardock. Due to her gentle nature, Gine was not suited for combat and retired. Her sweet nature also influenced Bardock’s behavior: although Saiyans usually show no affection for their offspring, Bardock does. At the time of Planet Vegeta’s destruction, Bardock and Gine already had two children. The couple formed by Bardock and Gine was among those rare Saiyans united by a bond that went beyond reproductive purposes. Not long after Freezer assumed command of his army, Bardock was sent along with other Saiyans to Planet Cereal to level it while transformed into Great Apes; they decimated the population, leaving Granolah as the only, unknown survivor. This happened because Bardock saw Granolah, still a child, with his mother. Seeing Kakaroth and Gine in that situation again, Bardock chose to spare them and lied to Leek (a Saiyan friend of his), telling him that he was merely looking for any survivors. He sensed life among the mountains and hid them along with Monaito. Despite these efforts, they were found by the Heeter (a group of space mercenaries), who mercilessly killed Granolah’s mother. Bardock managed to help Granolah and Monaito escape briefly, but was soon stopped by Gas (a member of the Heeter), sparking a confrontation between the two. Gas mocked Bardock about the imminent destruction of the Saiyans, leaving him confused. After Gas unleashed a part of his instinct, Bardock found himself completely cornered. During the battle, Monaito summoned Toronbo (the dragon from the Dragon Balls of Planet Cereal) and tried to send Bardock back to Planet Vegeta, but the Saiyan refused, not wanting to flee from combat. When Monaito asked him what wish he would like to make, Bardock declared that he only wished for his children to prosper. Gas then proceeded to further strike Bardock, even managing to tear off his tail. He then attempted to finish him by hurling a spear, which was intercepted by Monaito. This infuriated Gas, pushing him to use his full power: after having swept aside Monaito, he grabbed Bardock by the neck. However, Bardock managed to free himself from the grip and repel Gas. When the latter asked him why he continued fighting, Bardock replied that in a fight to the death only victory matters, and that he simply fights when there is an enemy to defeat. Bardock’s Saiyan Power is activated, allowing him to surpass his limits and defeat Gas with the Final Spirit Cannon. Left devoid of energy, Bardock collapsed to the ground. Addressing Elec (Gas’s older brother and a member of the Heeter), who had come to retrieve Gas, Bardock said he had believed they were loyal to Freezer. Elec explained that in business one never shows all of one’s cards, then mocked Bardock and the rest of the Saiyans for not understanding what Freezer had in mind. Instead of providing explanations, Elec shot Bardock in the shoulder, causing him to plunge off a cliff into a forest below. Elec struck the impact area several times before departing. Bardock, having survived, was found by Monaito, though his scouter was now broken. Shortly afterwards, he left the planet to return home, where he was treated by Gine. Not long after, he would join Leek on a new mission. Later, Bardock and Leek were engaged in a battle against aliens on another planet when they received a message on their scouters: the order for all Saiyans to immediately return to Planet Vegeta. The two returned and noticed Freezer’s spaceship suspended in orbit above the planet. Bardock became convinced that Freezer had a secret plan. Once landed, he learned from Taro (a Saiyan) that Freezer’s men had asked questions regarding the legend of the Super Saiyan. Bardock returned home to embrace Gine and asked her if their son, Kakaroth, was still in the incubator. Gine confirmed, explaining that three years had passed and that he would be released soon. Bardock also learned that Radish was off-planet along with Vegeta and Nappa. Bardock informed Gine of the situation and reassured her, saying that everything would be fine because he had a plan: to send Kakaroth to a planet called Earth. Bardock had already scouted it before: its population is mostly peaceful and should not pose a threat to the child. The idea is to wait and see what happens; if his suspicions prove unfounded, they will simply go and retrieve Kakaroth. Bardock sensed that his son would be safer if they did not flee with him, since their combat levels are high enough to be detected by Freezer’s scouters and they do not yet possess the ability to hide their aura. Later that night, Bardock stole a spaceship and, together with Gine, sent Kakaroth to Earth, also deciding to inform Radish of what had happened. Bardock placed his hand on the cockpit glass, and Kakaroth did the same from the inside. Bardock told his son to be strong and courageous, giving him a smile as the spaceship took off toward salvation. A month after these events, Freezer flew over Planet Vegeta and unleashed his Supernova. Bardock attempted to counter it by launching an aura blast, but his attack was overwhelmed and he ended up disintegrated by the explosion.
