Editing Bardock (Dragon Ball Z) (section)

===''Dragon Ball Z''===

====Saiyan Saga====
Bardock appears at the beginning of the first episode of ''Dragon Ball Z Kai'', he appears confronting Frieza in the stratosphere of Planet Vegeta, and attempts to attack him with his Final Spirit Cannon to change the future, however Frieza merely laughs and fires his Supernova which overtakes Bardock and then hits Planet Vegeta, resulting in the genocide of the Saiyans.

====Frieza Saga====
Because Bardock was primarily the creation of Toei Animation, it was only after the airing of ''The Father of Goku'' that Bardock would make an appearance in the manga. Bardock appeared in a two-panel cameo appearance, in Frieza's flashback when he sees Goku, who reminds him of Bardock, Frieza recalls that Bardock had attacked him right before he destroyed Planet Vegeta, and was killed alongside the rest of the Saiyans when Frieza destroyed the planet using a Supernova.

Bardock also made cameo appearances in the ''Dragon Ball Z'' anime series, including during Frieza's flashbacks to the 'final confrontation' scene featured at the climax of ''Bardock - The Father of Goku'' when Frieza deduces Bardock's relation to Goku when recalling his destruction of Planet Vegeta. Additionally, an apparition of him, Vegeta and King Vegeta all provide Goku with a mental pep talk after he is overwhelmed by Frieza during their battle.
