Salagir is completely missing the point of Bardock's character in the original, as well as the narrative purpose of scenes like Raditz trying to recruit Goku and Nappa suggesting to revive Raditz and later expecting help from Vegeta.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke

Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

The DBM Comment section is split in half on this. One of the answers given was if Bardock only cares about himself like every other Saiyan, why did he work towards saving the Saiyans instead of running away, like Vegeta definitely would have done.


Also, here are some edits that tackled the exact same page

By GengisKhan

You can be Saiyan, without being a prick imho, and these guys agree.

My ideal edit would be a mix between the two. I was more perturbed with that smirk than anything else. If given a frown and says the same line "Hanasia your time is up, rest in peace," I wouldn't really bat an eye to this page. Otherwise, Either answer Bardock gives in edited panel 4 sounds good to me.

It's an alternate universe, it's not canon Bardock from Dragon Ball Minus/Episode of Bardock, so I'm okay with any subtleties.

That facial expression isn't a sadistic smirk anyway (see the closed eyes and the lack of major facial creasing then compare to Broly's expressions). It's a subtle mix of low key sadness and a sardonic grin at the stupidity of it all. I'm not going to defend the rest of the special but I think this is portrayed quite well. In this version of the story, Bardock has had time to come to terms with the fact that what he sees happening will happen, so from his point of view, it's the inevitable hand of fate, so all he's going to feel is like it was a waste, but one that had to happen. Obviously he doesn't tell the underling anything, because he wants to sound firm and strong, so he says "And?"

Just remembered that the ghost version of the Vegeta from U3 is wearing a cape and has SS. Unless the ghosts can become stronger while in Raichi's possession (can't recall if that's been stated anywhere), maybe Vegeta eventually challenges Broli, unlocks SS, and takes the thrown from him? The way this new special's cover is depicted, looks like that's possible. Still, not sure how SS alone would be enough against the LSS transformation.... Well, I suppose if Goku found a way, Vegeta can.

Rachi's Freeza could go 5th form do I'm not sure.

As for Bardock frown version I feel works best for him.

So Broly killed Hanasia off-screen? Laaaaame, but I liked the black armors though.

There's no canon in this franchise and even if had I'm pretty sure EoB would not be counted.

So Bardock takes the throne from King Vegeta, and now he's going to help the younger Vegeta get it back? Things are coming full circle.

"How many versions of my fight against Broly did you see?"
"14,000,605."
"And in how many of those do I win?"
"Just One."

So Bardock can see multiple futures and he just picks the one he likes best?

I don't dislike the idea. It sounds better than the future being predetermined, but it does make Bardock much more special than he should be.

I suppose my only issue is that even with this upgrade in power, he still didn't see Raichi coming.

Or maybe, to quote TFS Episode of Bardock "Even if you saw it coming, there was nothing you could do about it" :)

He probably training his ability rather than this just being a difference from the canon timeline.

Vegeta should be much stronger than Broly (without LSS) considering he's been training his base form all this time.
