Bardock - Dragon Ball Z Character

Dragon Ball Z - Bardock: The Father of Goku

Bardock is a fictional character from the Anime Dragon Ball Z. He is a Saiyan.

Bardock is the biological father of both Raditz and Goku (respective ages).

Bardock worked on the Planet Vegeta as a mercenary for the Saiyan Royal Family. For a "common" Saiyan Bardock was quite an exception to the rule with a power level more fitting of a Saiyan Royal, than a run of the mill Warrior.

As with all warrior Saiyans on the Planet Vegeta, Bardock was in employ of the mysterious and powerful Frieza. Frieza ordered Bardock and some other mercenaries in his employ to kill some aliens. As you'll see later in the conclusion Bardock's contact with these aliens brings on unusual powers.

Then at the moment of truth Bardock unleashed his most powerful energy attack toward Frieza. But it was in vain, as Frieza unleashed his own even greater energy attack back at the Saiyan planet, swallowing up Bardock and destroying the Planet Vegeta.

Bardock's efforts did not go unrewarded though, as just before the moment of his demise, Bardock envisioned the death of Frieza at the hands of his Super Saiyan son Goku.

Please note that the authors and editors of the Dragon Ball Z page are aware that Bardock never features in Dragon Ball Z, but only the Dragon Ball Z movies. But the Bardock story was so cool that we had to include it.
