===Supporting Characters===


* '''Beat''' (ビート, ''Bīto''): The main character of ''Victory Mission''. Designed as a male, [[Saiyan]], Hero-type avatar character from the original arcade version of ''Dragon Ball Heroes'', Beat's name can be interpreted in two ways: first and foremost, it would appear to be a vegetable-based pun on "beet" (since he uses a Saiyan avatar), but it can also be a reference to a musical "beat", setting up the naming scheme that carries through to the main female characters who are introduced in subsequent chapters.
* '''Cavira''' (キャビラ ''Kyabira''): One of [[Chilled]]'s henchmen. Likely gets his name from non-fertilized sturgeon roe, better known to most as "caviar." In Japanese, the phonetics of the French word "caviar" are approximated using katakana as キャビア (''kyabia''). Although the trailing "r" of "caviar" is phonetically present with the hard "a" sound in Japanese, it is not visually seen when the word is romanized. To create this name pun, the "r" was playfully reintroduced into the characters name as キャビラ (''kyabira''), although still not as a trailing consonant. Cavira's single horn is most likely a homage to the large tail fin of the Sturgeon fish he is named after.
* '''Tobi''' (トビ ''Tobi''): Like Cavira, Chilled's other henchman Tobi also likely has a fish roe name pun. His name is appears to be based on the Japanese word とびこ (''tobiko''), which is used to describe Flying Fish roe. This type of roe is most widely known for its use in creating certain types of sushi. It is most likely because of his Flying Fish name pun that Tobi features two fin-like horns on his head resembling the Flying Fish's larger pectoral fins.
* '''Ipana''' (イパナ ''Ipana''): TBD
* '''Beri''' (ベリー ''Beri''): TBD

Dragon Ball: Episode of Bardock is a promotional manga series written by Naho Ooishi, with additional character designs by Akira Toriyama and in coordination with Bandai Namco Entertainment, that originally ran for three chapters in Shueisha's V-Jump magazine. The series follows Bardock in a sequel "what if?" story following his brief encounter with Freeza and his subsequent battle in the past with Chilled. Episode of Bardock was itself a larger merchandising tie-in with the ongoing Dragon Ball Heroes arcade game, which at the time was set to feature Bardock in Super Saiyan form for the first time.

Plot

Bardock has somehow survived his confrontation with Freeza, and is being treated on Planet Plant by a doctor. Two goons soon arrive to conquer Planet Plant, but are quickly defeated by Bardock. After not hearing from the men he sent out ten days ago, "Chilled" decides to check on Planet Plant personally.

History

The Episode of Bardock series' three chapters were originally published in the August, September, and October 2011 issues of V-Jump.
