King Vegeta and Bardock

Post by TheMightyOzaru » Sat Jun 08, 2013 6:57 pm

Who is the stronger of the 2? Is there any official mention of it?

King Vegeta, obviously. Bardock is a low class warrior.

... Unless you compare him to the Bardock from the movie(s).

I'm not taking Episode of Bardock into account. I think he straight up surpassed Vegeta when he got that Zenkai in that film.

There's really nothing in the series itself to go off of. King Vegeta is barely mentioned and never even named in the manga, and not shown or mentioned in the original version of the Bardock special. However, the Funi dub of the special changes the line where Bardock's BP is said to be nearly 10,000 to instead say that Bardock is nearly as strong as King Vegeta.

Daizenshuu 7/Chouzenshuu 4's bio for King Vegeta describes him as the strongest Saiyan at the time of their planet's destruction; Vegeta says in the Freeza arc that he surpassed his father while still a child, but going by this he didn't reach that milestone until after his father's death. Anyway, this line obviously implies that King Vegeta was stronger than Bardock. In the manga Freeza only remembers Bardock as the Saiyan "who held out until the very end", and not necessarily for being particularly strong.

Of course, these days Bardock is a Super Saiyan, which presumably gives him the edge until DB Heroes rolls out a Super Saiyan King Vegeta card.

This clears things up quite nicely, thank you.

(post-Freeza's bad mood) kid Vegeta > King Vegeta > Bardock

Still weaker than Neiz. :D

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
Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. 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.

Neiz and Boo are nothing to the Super Beard. By being an epic beard it get's a 200,000,000,000,000 x boost in strength.

Nope. SSJ King Vegeta would own Neizu without so much as lifting a finger.

Crap, you're right, I forgot the Super Beard multiplier. That's what let puny 4,000 Nappa beat Buutenks:

Right, and Cooler is 470,000,000.

We've already been over this, those BPs are video game promotions that contradict official material, but now is not the time or place to argue about that so lets just agree to disagree :thumbup: . Pfff, the SSJ3 Beard multiplier is greater than SSJ God duh :roll: .

Nappa pulled off SSJ3 beard. Damn his multiplier is going to go off the charts.

They contradict nothing. I'll agree to disagree but Cooler's 470,000,000 contradicting anything is factually wrong.

I know right? I'd place him at GT Worm level minimum.

Toei mountain training and/or hax. Same way GT Goku inexplicably got 400 times stronger. Or an alternate timeline zenkai.

I don't know man, seems like you're underselling him. SS God Beard Nappa is easily a multiverse buster.

Maybe he could go further then that. He is so powerful he'll jump out of the manga and force Toriyama to change the manga to how he wants it.

I don´t remember where ( not DB wikia or anything like that ) but, I read somewhere long ago that King Vegeta had a battle power of 17,000.

Why?? ¨Daizenshuu 7/Chouzenshuu 4's bio for King Vegeta describes him as the strongest Saiyan at the time of their planet's destruction; Vegeta says in the Freeza arc that he surpassed his father while still a child, but going by this he didn't reach that milestone until after his father's death¨

Mmm the Freeza arc Vegeta statement for me is not very specific. How could kid Vegeta surpass his father when the King was alive and the strongest Saiyan at that time? Saiyan Arc Vegeta´s battle power was 18,000. Bardock battle power was 10,000. Does not seem so illogical that King Vegeta has 17,000. Come on, he was the King and a High Class Saiyan.

We never see kid Vegeta with his father if I remember correctly. We never see kid Vegeta with a scouter. Kid Vegeta beat all the Saibamans ( 1,200 battle power ). Kid Vegeta kill an entire Alien ( maybe very weak Aliens ) Planet. Nappa in that time has no 4,000 power battle.
