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
As part of a new update for Dragon Ball Heroes in summer 2011, Bardock would be receiving a new Super Saiyan transformation. In conjunction with this update, a larger media campaign rolled out highlighting Bardock across various pieces of merchandise. The original Bardock television special (along with the Trunks television special) was set to receive a budget-priced (¥1000) "Special Selection DVD" on 05 August 2011, which allowed newer fans to experience the character's origin for the first time, and long-time fans who did not own the expensive and limited-production Dragon Box sets to pick it up, as well.
In the July 2011 issue of Shueisha's video game-focused magazine V-Jump, a vague reference was made to an upcoming Dragon Ball Heroes-related manga project in the next month's issue. The magazine's official website later clarified Naho Ooishi would actually be taking on yet another "special project": a manga series called "Episode of Bardock", which was slated to be "sequel" to the original television special. The story would be released in three parts over the course of August, September, and October 2011's V-Jump issues.
An animated adaptation of the manga was announced in November 2011 and later premiered at Jump Festa 2012 on 17 December 2011. The animated adaptation's story stayed faithful to its original manga incarnation, with a few moments of new material at the very end.
Following the anime's premiere, a complete collection of the manga was reprinted in the April 2012 issue of V-Jump, released on 21 February 2012; this reprint featured two new pages at the very end, mirroring the new material from the animated adaptation with Bardock walking off into the sunset.
