Many years have passed since we first saw Bardock in one of the Dragon Ball movies. However, it is well known that these films do not represent the canonical history of Akira Toriyama, so we had not yet officially witnessed the moment when Bardock first meets his newborn son, Kakarot. Now, however, this fact will no longer be so, because the dragon ball super manga has shown us, for the first time, the meeting between Bardock and his son shortly after birth.
As we already know, and as it is officially shown in the Dragon Ball Super: Broly film, Goku’s parents, who are Bardock and Gine, decided to evacuate Goku from the planet Vegeta before the imminent attack of Frieza, which together with their fear of fall defeated in front of one of them and the orders of Beerus, annihilated almost all Saiyans with his Supernova attack, which reduced his world to ashes. Now, we can add to those moments the first father-son meeting between Bardock and Goku in a flashback of the Dragon Ball Super manga.
The Dragon Ball Super manga continues relentlessly, though anime, excluding movies, has been on stand-by for three years, allowing time for posts to be long enough to launch another barrage of large-scale episodes. Many of us have a long wait to return to the animated series, but for now, we already know that in 2022 we will have a new movie, entitled Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. This work was revealed a few months ago and we still have a lot to know about this film, but it will be an ideal occasion for the fans of the Akira Toriyama universe come back to enjoy an original story on the big screen.
