Dragon Ball Z Abridged Bardock Father of Goku Reaction 

Goku hitting his head as a baby is actually why he isn't "evil" like all other Saiyans. I'm 70% certain that in the source material, Grandpa Gohan doesn't drop him; he just falls and hits his head on his own.

Something I really like about what TFS did with the Kanassan is they made his mind all muddled to the point that he can't tell past from present from future, which makes sense if you're constantly seeing visions of the future. That kind of power would totally mess with your mind.

Remember that part about Frieza getting bored by heroic speeches, it'll come up again in the future.

The frieza coughing joke at the start was because the voice actor who played him in the original chose a very strange voice.

Bardock will always be the saiyan Rambo to me -Getting beaten up multiple times -Running around town trying to get a rebellion going -trying to fight the strongest person In the room

Fun fact, the two scientist talking at 10:55 about Goku, is Chris Sabat, the official voice of Vegeta and Piccolo, he makes a few more appearances in the series (Plays Santa in the Christmas Tree of Might special) You can hear his Piccolo coming out in the "You're stupid!" line

Goku being dropped on his head is canon. He was rather aggressive when Gohan (the old man) found him and Goku ran but fell in a ravine. After being nursed back it seemed that Goku's natural saiyajin bloodlust and aggression had been subdued and all his memories of being a sayan were forgotten. He never knew of his saiyan origin until DBZ and recently in the DB Super manga he's just learned about his father.

Freeza talking in a raspy voice and then changing it is a referece to his first dub voice

And now you've met DB's arguably most infamous villain, Freeza. He's deeply rooted into both Goku and Vegeta's storylines. He's also the first of what I've heard them called as "The Big Three" of DBZ's antagonists. Vegeta was technically the first main major antagonist, but The Saiyan arc is significantly shorter than the sequential ones. "Doesn't afraid of anything" is an old meme from like 2006-2007. Not sure on its origins, but a lot of my online friends at that time said it a lot. It's a largely dead phrase though. Goku was originally sent to Earth to destroy it. He was a low-level warrior and Earth had no significant threats so Goku was a logical choice. He ended up falling out of his adoptive father's backpack thing and hit his head(this was mentioned in episode 1 with Raditz). His head trauma altered his personality from a potentially violent killer to a kind hearted boy who just likes fighting people who are strong. The abridged series doesn't really touch on this, but Freeza was becoming paranoid over the Saiyans as each generation was producing stronger and stronger babies and they were capable warriors as we saw with Raditz, Nappa, Vegeta, and Goku, as well as Gohan(who is half-saiyan). Freeza wanted to snuff them out before they potentially became a problem. Freeza acted on fear, but he's nothing to sneeze at. He's a legit merciless monster. Edit: 16:10 is from Dragon Ball GT, easily the most hated medium of Dragon Ball aside from the live action movie Evolution. GT at least has some good moments here and there and it's nowhere near as bad as Evolution, but it's cringeworthy garbage overall.

Love this, it's one of my favorites along with the following TFS Bardock Special. I must agree that sound track was amazingly 80's,. "Dare" and "The Touch" plucked from the Transformers Animated Movie back in '85-'86.

11:00 Christopher Sabat guest starred in this scene, albeit under an alias. You can hear his Vegeta coming out when he says "You're stupid!"

Dodoria was kind if a beast back then and even for a low-class warrior Bardock got pretty strong after his healing in this. With a Powerlevel of 10.000 he was a big number around the other Saiyajins. But unfortunatly.. Dodorias Level was 22.000. And you will like Freeza. He is kind of the Thanos of the Dragonball Universe, but more likeable. Because he is funny. And british thanks to the legendary "Little Kuriboh" + "Lanipator" voiceactor.

The version of “You’ve Got the Touch” was originally from The Transformers: The Movie which came out in 1986. The song at the beginning is also from that movie. Its title is “Dare”. A lot of 80s music references in this parody.

3:50 that was a reference to the Ocean Dub voice actor for frieza before switching voice actors

There are multiple Dragonball Series: Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, Dragon Ball Super. Dragon Ball GT didn't have the original creator Akira Toriyama involved, is no longer cannon and that cringy dance szene was from that series. It's like "We don't talk about THAT series !" within the fandom... except when we do, because despite it being 80% trash, it had good ideas and moments ^^*

Lore reason why Bardock was disappointed with Goku's power level= Sayains ran off of power level to see who was stronger or worthy to be on the battle field, so imagine japan higher archy but in space

When I was a kid and my uncle showed me this movie I instantly liked him more then Goku or Vegeta. Even though he's just goku with a different voice(like Turles-Gokus brother) he is what Goku would have been if he stayed on planet vegeta and fought Frieza to the death.

Just to let you know the original movie wasn’t actually canon. The new broly movie is the real origin

I hate to watch reactions to this special because no one watches the credits even though we tell them to watch it because it's clips from og dragon ball.

I like Selypa (Fasha in U.S/German) there is a great fanfiction about her: What if scenario: If she survived the explosion of Planet Vegeta and got to earth and be there, Gokus "second" Mommy. I like her. Im a raging Dy*e too. But i don't hate man. They are so funny. 😁 Bardock and his wife, Gine, had a relatively rare relationship with one another. Because the Saiyans only have a wife to produce offspring, they have nothing to do with romance. But Gine was super kind and sweet and just the right counterpart for Bardock. Goku has inherited her good nature. (Which becomes dangerous later... )

A pretty good example why premonition can be kinda useless without proper context to what you're seeing. :D Unfortunate for the series, but we never get to see the big Kirby in the Abridged series. He belongs to the story arc just after the giant green bug guy, otherwise known as the android story arc. Big Kirby's actual name is Majin Buu who is essentially an incredibly strong petulent child. He can turn anything into candy in order to eat them, which does happen to both Goku and Vegeta, but as it turns out, you retain your strength and consciousness even as a candy. A little strange, but then the world of Dragonball is a little strange, so... neither here, nor there. It turns out however that Buu isn't just 1 being. He's actually a pretty nice and a kind child, but he was combined with Evil Buu who makes Majin Buu into an angry and an irritable child. Once split from his evil personality, he's just a docile, kind hearted child, a terrifyingly strong one and a natural martial artist. Fortunately he's adopted by Mr. Satan (Yes, that is his real name) and lives a happy and a wealthy life, doubling as Mr. Satan's bodyguard. Not gonna go further into Mr. Satan as we will meet him later into the Abridged series, but no, he's not the Satan, at all.

Fun fact. Vegeta (our Vegeta) is actually called Vegeta The Fourth as mentioned in the Super manga, that means he, his dad, grandfather, great-grandfather AND the planet are all called Vegeta. He's Vegeta, son of Vegeta, son of Vegeta, son of Vegeta, ruler of Vegeta

You HAVE to react a short film called Legend- a Dragon Ball Tale Its a fan-fic that you would get a kick out of I am sure. Plus it isn't very long and pretty much everyone on YT reacted to it. link to it on yt is: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1JKLM45aIik.html As for Bardock, he is many people's favorite character. He isn't a good guy, and does not need to be. He is just the right guy to convey the narrative. Lately Dragon Ball changed that and it really feels like a slap in the face to the story and character dynamics, removing tons of narrative weight from Goku being good, and what Bardock (and a few other characters that I won't spoil the story about) represent. But I digress. As for Goku's head injury, it didn't remove his saiyan instincts, but did remove his aggression at that time. Whether that is due to the injury itself or simply Gohan nurturing him back to health and saving him is ultimately conjecture. If you want a good feel of the OG dragon ball, the 4th Dragon Ball movie (not Z) "The Path to Power" goes through the first few arcs of the original show at a faster pace and only changes a few details. Great if you want a bit of background on Kid Goku and his relationship with Bulma, Oolong, Yamcha, and Master Roshi. Plus it uses the GT Goku outfit which is super clean. Highly recommend. Great reaction as always! Hope you are both doing well!

That's so smart to watch it NOW and have the backstory and intro to my favorite DBZ Villain before he shows up in the series.

18:42 Yeah, don't worry about that, it's been pretty much retconned now and it's worse for it.

10:57 Little fun fact about the two people who sent Goku to Earth. They're voiced by professional voice actor, and official English dub voice of Vegeta, Piccolo, Yamcha, Reccoome, and a few other characters in DBZ: Chris Sabat. He's also very well known as the voice of All-Might in My Hero Academia. Any episode of a Team Four Star abridged he's in, he's in the credits as DJsexadillionare. He's on an episode of Hellsing Ultimate abridged as well if I remember correctly. There's also a voice actor from the original English dub of Hellsing Ultimate that TFS got to play a different character in the abridged. Also, the voice of Doctor Gero, and Cooler(except at the end of this special) in DBZA and Father Maxwell in Hellsing Ultimate abridged are voiced by Chris Guerrero who went on to play roles in many officially dubbed anime, probably being most well known as Ainz Ooal Gown in Overlord

Should point out that TFS were leaning into the fact that Bardock is not a good guy. He's just the protagonist. He's not necessarily meant to be particularly likable, the vast majority of Saiyans were violent and destructive arseholes. They send their children to planets to eventually get in view of its moon to grow into their great ape forms and violently destroy the planet, letting them grow up with a very violent and destructive mindset. Goku was lucky because he not only hit his head as a child to give him a different upbringing, but had his tail removed early on (after his own transformation caused some damage). So Goku is the exception Saiyan because of certain 'lucky' circumstances. But yeah, not liking Bardock? Completely justified, that's partly the point. Comedic element of this version of the series aside, Bardock is far from a 'good guy'.

16:19 to answer your question 11 months later, Dragon Ball GT happened, you do not need to watch it we do not consider it cannon anymore. you're sanity is welcome.

In the Dragon Ball Super: Broly movie they scrapped Bardock Special episode into a more caring person that loves his wife and kids in the movie.

Sucks that some people don’t get the part where freiza thinks he has a cold while talking then cough it out to sound like abridged voice actor because that how frieza sound like in English dub

Frieza destroyed the sayains because there were getting stronger and stronger at an alarming rate and he was worried that one day they could be a powerful threat so he decided to kill them off before they did

Not really much I can tell you here that wasn't already explained or that you didn't see in the series so far. Basically just remember some of the new faces. That is all for today's lesson. (Seriously....I feel like I'm making it a habit to help teach and I usually suck at teaching.)

I shout "useless ass psychic powers" at random to this day

"You got the touch...!" Wish i could have seen this on the big screen. Transformers the animated movie from 1986. Great animation, specially now in blu-ray quality.

Please react to dragon ball abridged episode of Bardock

I think what makes the Original Bardock special so tragic is that Bardock never had any chance of winning, notice how one attack from Dodoria who is Frieza's weakest elite almost killed him while at this point Bardock is probably the strongest or second strongest saiyan alive, even if Bardock had convinced the other saiyans to rebel they never could have beaten Frieza

Can you react to all the Plants vs Zombies trailers?

Basically Coolers original motivation to not blast Gokus pod was, that if this is Friezas downfall, it served him right, because he failed at exterminating the saiyans. Which is ironic, as you will see in the abridged cooler movie.

The songs they used, Dare and The Touch, were from the 80s Transformers movie and sung by Stan Bush

Alright, now you see what our heros will be up against this season, a Galactic Tyrant who can casually destroy a planet as well as commit genocide with a Finger and an army at his disposal Also Vegeta survived the destruction of his race because he was at DAIRY QUEEN

16:09 those guys are the Para Para Brothers from dragon ball GT (which is hated by most fans), their ability is to force people to dance

I CAN SEE THE FUTURE!!!! 😁😄😆😂🤣 I’M ON FIRE!!!! 😁😄😆😂🤣 😁😄😆😂🤣 11:41 Planet S-O-L… the sun? 😁😄😆😂🤣 😁😄😆😂🤣 😁😄😆😂🤣

Just for reference the final reference of the "Bon Para-Para" 16:20 - is a reference to Dragon Ball GT's first season. ------ Dragon Ball GT is the anime sequal to Dragon Ball Z and it has a notoriously bad beginning and those are one of the villains from the Start of that series. The series does get better as it goes on but in my opinion (As well as others) while the later arcs are better GT never really measured up to DBZ but it did have several moments that are worth watching.

There's another bardock special idk where it is in the viewing order though

5:07 - buttock

go and watch dragon ball super super hero. it's showing on cinemas

Sorry, can anybody explain to me the "kaio-ken --> kaio-what" joke? I don't get it

you didn't hate bardock cuz this is a parody version of him lol and you said they didn't wright him well cuz this was early tfs stuff they didn't get really good at this point also this is meant for people who watched the real version of bardock if you watched it blind then you will be having way too much issues

If you want that much of a fan of Bardock father of Goku, then you might get interested on the other movie Episode of Bardock

This was a funny one. The original was one of my favorites. I loved the original Bardock movie.

It's the soundtrack from the Transformers Movie

Bardock is so cool man. The headband Fun fact: friezas first lines here reference his VAs (i think so at least). The first voice is his voice in the original airing of dubbed dbz. The voice after he clears his throat is his voice in DBZ Kai and DB Super. Rest in peace Chris

By the way goku is Nothing like abridged maybe super that gut was a complete ediet

Tree of might when...

To clear up what can be a bit of confusion: King Vegeta, his son Vegeta, and the planet Vegeta that is the home planet of the saiyans, all share the same name. This won't come up much, but... When it does, you are now as prepared as the rest of us. As for Frieza clearing his throat, the voice he uses initially is basically the voice Frieza has in the original run of the canon series. Pretty obvious right away that recreating a voice like that would shred the vocal chords of the average voice actor. LittleKuriboh could *probably* pull it off, the guy is great, but using his typical villain voice instead works better in the long run. Considering how much screen time Frieza will be getting in the upcoming episodes, they made the right call. What's weird is between his voice and appearance, there was actually a portion of the fanbase that thought Frieza was female at first. I recall being one of the kids who was confused by the voice and look (trust me, it'll make more sense later) and needed to hear male pronouns for a while before it clicked. I was so relieved years later when I found out I wasn't the only one who made that mistake. Bardock in the Abridged version is not far off from how he is in canon. The idea was more or less to show what Goku might've become had he not struck his head as a child. Bardock is a badass, but he's also kind of an ass in general, as is the nature of his race. Though later appearances of Bardock in video games and whatnot tend to focus on just his noble badass personality, as the fanbase adored that part about him. See, there are a few traits to keep in mind with saiyans. They love fighting, they tend to be brutish or rough around the edges, they love flaunting their strength, they typically aren't very book smart, and they can adapt to just about any difficult circumstance in record time to become stronger. In any other story, they'd be the villains. Frieza realized their potential to grow, and the idea of them becoming strong enough to actually rebel against his rule caused him to take the initiative and wipe them out. Frieza conquers planets and destroys planets every other week, really. Lastly for marketing purposes, over in the west Bardock's story was tweaked and he was called a "brilliant saiyan scientist" to try to make Goku's origins even more in line with Superman's. Yeah they changed none of the footage, so... Yeah. Let's all just nod our heads to the translation team as they try to convince us that Bardock is a man of scientific intellect. To summarize, if Bardock rubbed you the wrong way at first, that was kind of the point. In the Abridged version at least, Bardock is a more violent and rude "what if" portrayal of Goku. We can root for him against Frieza, but a main protagonist he most certainly is not. It doesn't help that a certain "raging" opening line of his in this episode aged like milk. Late 2000's humor, it certainly has some peaks and valleys. At the end of this spiel is Bardock's final vision. In the canon, he witnesses Goku facing down Frieza, and entrusts the future to his son. But in the Abridged version he sees other final villains, and then that... Dance scene. That was from Dragon Ball GT. The less said about GT the better. Glad you guys had fun, so psyched for Episode 13!

10:04 - Lmao! That laugh was so damned contagious 😂😂😂😂

You should react to episode of bardock it’s the part two of this special

whats with the sound quality lol

Please react on new dead by daylight chapter ❤️

Dodoria: "I'm more of an in the moment kind of GUY." Me: But...but...but....

Do Saitama vs Popeye death battle

can u react to "the appeal of one piece" please? love your content❤️

Nappa and child Vegeta together should have a spin off. Then again I only love abridged Nappa not canon Nappa.

What are the missing videos?

Yesss

Btw Bardocks Power level was around 8,000 (in Human form) the monkey form is a 10x's boost Freeza at this point his power level was around 250,000 (and thats not even his max) Bardock didnt stand a chance....

Fun Fact: Goku is the *LITERAL* definition of r****d strength. Literally. In Canon. As created by Toriyama. Also Nappa will return™

We won't talk about GT...

In all fairness, the Saiyans were a mercenary race who were paid to go to planets and essentially glass them (mostly eliminate the races on those planets) for a living. So they're showing how much the Saiyans weren't exactly nice. Also, yeah. Things were pretty cringe in terms of jokes during this time considering how society was. They get better about it in the future, and even they know it was cringe. The old man in those future images for Bardock was actually named Grandpa Gohan, the man who found and raised Goku until Goku inadvertantly killed him when he was a child because he changed and crushed him as a Great Ape. Also, a little fun fact about this: During the part where they sent Kakarot/Goku to Earth, that's actually Chris Sabat voicing one of the scientists. He's the current VA for characters like Vegeta, Piccolo and Yamcha most notably.

Burdock gang - we work for freeza why? Dodoria - I'm just a messanger your all fired....burdocks gang - what makes you think he won't fire you. Dodoria - we aren't ambitious to replace him. Bardock - we quit all of us got it...were underpaid...you can find someone else to do the low wage hard work. Freeza - here your all fired...freezas..crew - not us too ...

the movie is actually really tragic, the real story is thatThe kamino guys who strike Bardock is an oracle like Cassandra (grec mythos) he could see the future but couldn't prevent it. As a vengeance he gave his abilitys to Bardocks and died living him a last prediction: his world is doom and he won't be able to change it. He will be haunted by those visions until the end of his life. And that's exactly what happenned. Now as a sayan warrior, Bardock is actually a low class. (for a low class he is pretty strong, but Nappa is stronger for example) He was absolutly outclassed by Dodoria (the pink fat guy) and the abriged didn't show how badly he got hurt. The movie point that he is bleeding out. He kept seing vision of all his son's future from his childhood to his fight with vegeta, watching him growing culminating in his last vision of him facing Freeza. It's more emotionnal and slow until he said to himself "I'll change the future" and try his heroic last stand. Making that funny? pretty hard. I don't think they nailed everything, especially cause the movie is actually pretty good with no real plotholes. So you could only make Bardock a bad guy with no respect for everyone, and completly change the Kamino people (the psychics).

Just advising this: Almost everything here its not-canon but at the same time it is. Akira did not have a backstory planned and then TOEI made this film. So in 2018 Akira made this canon with a lot of changes: Bardock doesn't see the future, he was suspicius of why would Freezer want every Saiyan back on the planet and discovered is evil intentions, then he goes back home and talks to Gine (Goku's mom) about how he thinks Freezer will exterminate them and decides to send Goku to Earth. Then we don't know if he advertises the other Saiyans about it but he ends up facing Freezer and dying just like here. And Goku intead of arriving when he was a baby, he arrives at 4 years old or so and with his Saiyan armor and he acts "evil" (as his Grandpa described) because he wants to get back to his family but hits his head and forgets about them.

Really liked this one. Would you please react to the video called " Mario Kart 64: The Quest for World Record Perfection " by summoning salt? It is my favorite video on youtube by far and I would love to see your reaction to it. The intro is just like 2 minutes and 30 seconds long so you can still quit it if you dont like it. I think you would like it and his whole channel has so many great videos to react to.

Yep! From what Tantalus010 said, he lost his Saiyan planet conquering instincts when he hit his head as a child! Not sure the whole 'he's a Saiyan' deal was shown in Dragon Ball as he was just a character that was supposed to represent the Mystical Monkey King, Son Goku at the time.

React to Combat gods

20:11 Not definitive

Is it just me, or is the music choice a reference to the 1986 transformers movie, bardock literally says no matter the cost Ps, great movie

Hi I’m from dbz

Never seen any abridge show before. So I've been going through this journey for the first time with you guys. Despite all the similarities, Abridge is so different from the anime, that I'm treating it as its own self-contained story. I recently watched the Hellsing abridge one, and just in case you get a lot of people recommending it, the language in that one is very strong. The first two episodes are the toughest to get through, but it's still a lot of laughs in between the uncomfortable excessive bits. However, Hellsing abridged is almost as long as the actual anime, so I would just watch the anime instead.

Oh god, is this the first dbz abridged video you guys put on and going up in order? That’s ace, I hope you two get more into it because it’s funny🤣🤣🤣

You guys should watch the original movie it's really good.

Goku’s original mission was to kill all life on earth but he hit his head and forgot it. The saiyans would wipe out a planets inhabitants and then Frieza would essentially sell the now vacant planet.

Y’all will get to the Para Para Brothers in DBGT. That’s a long way from now. 😂

There's another abridged version of this movie, where the main protagonist, travels through time.

@2:36 This gets EVERYONE lol #DaFuture

The bit at the end of the last vision was one of the most infamous scenes from Dragon Ball GT

There's a recent DBZ movie that came out that actually canonized Goku's origin story, along with another important character called Broly. Although the events are more or less the same, Goku's mother was also featured, and she and Bardock intentionally blasted Goku away from the planet because they suspected that Frieza was going to destroy it. Bardock shows considerably more concern for his son than this incarnation of him, although he's still much the same hardy, tough warrior. The relationship between the Saiyans and Frieza's empire is also explored in a bit more depth. The dancing monkey things were from Dragon Ball GT. The first sequel series they made which pretty much everyone agrees is pretty awful for the first season. It's now been totally overwritten by Dragon Ball Super.

12:00 Vegeta the 3rd actualy, if you want to be that technical

Uh, didn't remember that they used Dare for the intro.

Bardock's final vision was of Dragon Ball GT, the series that followed DBZ, but has since been basically ruled non-canonical and a lot of fans were, well, not fans of it. lol

why is the sound so weird?

He was really dropped on his head 🤣

the series gets so much better can't wait

Very cool new intro!!

I died at 3:50

You’re definitely doing a disservice by watching abridged dragon ball first, you’re going to get confused and spoil learning the actual story,

This version of "You got the touch" and some of the other songs used in this were all lifted from the 80's animated transformers movie.
