Planet Vegeta
Many years ago, a small child was born.
Unheralded, and unattended by its father or mother,
the baby cried out, making it's lonely plea to the Universe!
The Saiyans were a people of war, and like all Saiyan babies,
the child was destined to fight!
My goodness, that's one loud kid!
Yes he'll be great, watch!
That's a bold prediction for the son of a low-class soldier!
Let see, Bardock's son, huh?
Planthor, I wouldn't stake my reputation on that prediction it I were you!
Hmm... you just wait.
Come here, Melakka!
Do you hear that?
That's the cry of a great warrior!
Let's see... Kakarot! Remember that name!
"A Final, Solitary Battle: The Z Warrior Son Goku's Father challenges Freeza“
"Bardock: The Father of Goku"
Planet Kanassa
Sir, It's the full moon... just like in the vision!
Yes Dimitreous. Indeed, it is about to begin.
This is the hour for which we have prepared!
Yes, commander!
Don't lose heart my faithful Kanass. This is our duty!
We must see it through until the end!
That was a heck of a party, wasn't it.
If you say so, I don't remember any of it!
You're a typical ape, Fasha.
Aaah, shut up!
I don't see how you guys remember, anyway!
It's elephants that aren't supposed to forget, not apes!
I'm with you, Fasha!
To me it's like waking up from a dream!
You kind of remember it all but then it just slips away!
I don't remember much either,
but I remember the crusty, little devil that gave me this!
Bardock says he remembers everything!
Right, don't make me laugh, Fasha!
Bardock might remember every second of every battle
but he remembers nothing of his personal life!
Allow me to demonstrate...
Bardock, do you remember what day your son was born?
No, but that was a long time ago!
It was not, you lazy bum!
Yesterday? Come on!
You need to go see the little tike!
You have enough time to stop in before our next assignment!
Visit him, huh?
How nice. Father-son bonding!
Why should I?
They'll just send him away!
What's the use? Tell me that!
Hmmm... Bardock! You're too much!
Hey, guys... why did we fight for this dump anyway, huh?
Is Frieza out of his tiny little mind or something?
Yeah, but not in this case.
I think this planet has special energy, so I heard!
Yeah, I heard the same thing!
You're supposed to be able to develop psychic powers if you live here!
Like being able to read minds and see the future and stuff like that!
Frieza is such a paranoid freak!
He'd jump at the chance to be able to read minds!
That's a scary thought, Frieza reading minds. I...
Huh?
I wish you baboons could read minds,
so you could have heard the thoughts of my troops as you slaughtered them!
Huh?
What in the heck is going on?
Huh?
I have transmuted your destructive force into a more tolerable energy!
Soon, you will all die!
Yeah? We'll see about that... goodbye!
Wait! You have come here seeking psychic power.
Well, I have given it to you, Bardock!
He reads minds!
You can too now, Bardock!
You have the power now, too!
Me? What are you talking about?
The one who seeks the power, Frieza, will never have it!
But I have given it to you as a gift, Bardock!
So that you could see!
See what?
See the horror of your end, just like we had to!
Shut up!
Instant barbecue.
You never know what you're going to find under a rock these days!
Pretty freaky creature, aye?
Hey! Yo! Hello?
(Elite Training center)
Holy rings of Korbeesha, Did you see that?
Yes, I see it all the time!
That's Prince Vegeta.
He's the best!
There's no waaayyy!!
Not for any kid you've ever known!
Unbelievable!
I told you!
My gosh! What's he going to be like when he's full grown?
Nobody knows that, yet!
But take my advice and stay on his good side!
Shoot, yeah!
Open up, you fool! I'm done!
Ahhh! Yikes! Sorry, sir!
You're the best, Prince!
Hm! Stop kissing up, Nappa!
This place bores me!
I want another combat assignment! No more drills!
Man, Frieza!
The day will soon be here that we won't take any more orders from him! You watch!
Huh? You think so?
I know so!
I'd love that!
Pardon me, Lord Frieza, Sir! Interesting news!
Planet Kanassa has been occupied as of last night, Sire!
Oh?
Yes, sire!
The Kanass have been eradicated!
The planet is yours!
{Dodoria} Kanassa! That job has been in the pool for months!
I thought we'd have to handle that one ourselves!
No, a band of Saiyans took it.
Saiyans...
Wow! Their elite teams are becoming comparable to our own!
Actually, it was a band of their low-level soldiers!
No low-levels could take Kanassa!
No, these are standouts!
The Saiyans are quickly becoming our best fighters! Am I right?
Yes, Dodoria!
Without a doubt!
They're much stronger now!
It's amazing! In a small group on a full moon,
they're hard to beat!
What? Are you scared of them, Zarbon?
No, certainly not!
I'm just saying that we need to keep an eye on them, that's all!
Like this Bardock who led the assault on the Kanassans!
What if he and his group teamed up with young Vegeta
and a handful of other great fighters!
How would you like to tangle with that bunch on a full moon, Dodoria?
Only a fool would welcome that scenario!
Yes Sire!
Prince Vegeta? What do you think you're doing?
Frieza didn't send for you, kid!
You know that no one sees Lord Frieza unless he calls them first!
Look, I'm bored! This is lame! I need an assignment!
Hm! Who do you think you are?
I ought to teach you a lesson in etiquette, Prince!
Give him an assignment Zarbon, immediately!
Lord Frieza!
The boy doesn't mean any harm, Zarbon!
He just hasn't learned how to control his passion!
Give him the hardest assignment that you have, and Vegeta...
do come back alive!
I will, Sire! Thank you very much!
You don't have to thank me, Vegeta!
You certainly earn your keep around here!
You might want to mind your manners a little better though!
Sire!
If he keeps this up, he's going to be become stronger than King Vegeta!
No kidding! Bardock, he comes back from every mission half dead! My gosh!
He's crazy!
What kind of low-level soldier would go to a planet
like Kanassa with only a handful of men?
I think he needs to be retested, his case is unusual!
I agree, Planthor!
How is he, Melakka?
Let's see here... yes, physically, sure... he's ready!
Mentally, I'm not so sure!
There's a slight change in his brainwave patterns!
Brain waves?
That doesn't sound too good, Torah!
We'd better handle this one on our own!
Right! We should be okay on Meat!
Well, goodbye, old friend!
Hmmm? Whoa!
A planet being destroyed!
Was it Vegeta? No! It couldn't be!
But wait, the baby, my son... he sees it, too!
It's him... being sent out!
So lonely!
Torah! I don't understand!
What does my young son have to do with you?
Why am I seeing these things? It doesn't make sense!
My son, he's become a warrior...
but he's different from us!
What happened?
What's wrong with him?
Why am I seeing this! No... no!!
Planthor! Get him out of there! Something serious is going on!
Open the hatch, Melakka!
Thank goodness you're alright, you gave us a scare!
Bardock, what happened?
I don't know... wow!
It was like I was having a nightmare but I wasn't asleep!
At least I don't think I was asleep!
I think it would be wise to take it easy for a while, Bardock!
Oh, yeah? Well, I wouldn't know, I'm not wise!
You're not?
No!
Oh, I think you're wise!
How else could you take on the assignments that you do and still be alive?
I know how to fight! That's all!
It doesn't take a whole lot of brains to be a great fighter!
Which reminds me, where's Torah?
I thought I heard him in here earlier!
You and your team were ordered to go to Planet Meat by Frieza himself!
What? Frieza!
So we're finally getting the recognition we deserve!
And those bums take off without me, huh?
No! Wait! Bardock! You need to rest!
Huh? Not again!
Oh, thank goodness! You're real this time!
Man, you sure have some powerful lungs!
Well, look kid, I'll catch you later!
Wait!
Huh?
You have come here seeking psychic power!
Well, I have given it to you, Bardock!
Kakarot, huh?
You see it too, somehow! Don't you?
Only an average power level! I thought you were special!
Borgos!
No!
Darn you, brutes!
Why? Tell me!
Why are you doing this?
I don't understand!
Poor baby!
What don't you understand, Torah? That you are weak?
What a mess you are!
Ahh, Torah...
You shouldn't have forgotten that you are weak!
What do you mean? We serve Frieza! You know that!
Yes, I know! Frieza's very impressed with your service record!
Yes, too impressed! It seems he wants you dead!
What? Why?
I don't want to flatter you but Frieza thought that you were getting too strong!
Cool, huh? You should consider this a promotion!
No! Look! It's not fair!
Everything that we've done was for him!
How can he do this!
You fool! It's not what you've done!
It's what you might have done in the future!
Then no one's safe from Frieza! Not even you!
Is that so?
It looks like they plowed right through this one.
I guess I taught those knuckleheads something about fighting fitter all!
Yep, still here! Lousy bums, probably still celebrating!
Shugesh, Fasha, Borgos!
What happened?
It can't be...
Bardock!
Torah! Oh my gosh!
Torah!
Don't tell me you let those Meat-heads do this to you guys?
No! No way, come on! You should know us better than that, Bardock!
I didn't think so!
Well, what happened then?
We... we were ambushed by Dodoria and his men!
Frieza's the one that ordered us here!
Yes! It was a set-up. Frieza, he wants us all dead!
But why? I mean, after all we've done? It doesn't make sense!
We took the jobs that even his elites wouldn't mess with
and we still won!
It's true! Isn't it!
We were getting to be the best, Frieza's scared!
Scared of what?
Of you, Bardock! Frieza's scared of you!
Don't you see! He's scared of what you might become!
You're getting too strong!
Good luck, old friend!
I'm sorry that I can't...
Goodbye, Torah! You were my best friend!
So this is what it's come to.
This is how we're rewarded for our hard work!
We tried so hard to please Frieza.
My crew, Borgos, Fasha! Those pigs!
So they thought we were getting too strong!
Shugesh! I promise somehow I'll get them for this Shugesh!
I'll die trying!
Frieza's taken our loyalty, and paid us back in our own blood!
I thought there was a foul smell in the air! So you're the ones!
Bardock! You crack me up!
We had some good laughs with your crew earlier, too!
You should have been there!
You're right! I should have been there!
Do you really think that it would have made a difference, Bardock? I mean really!
There, that should do it!
Hm?
Ahh! What the? Where the heck did he go?
He can't hide forever! Huh?
Huh, Bardock?
Huh? What? Ahh! There you are!
Die you fool!
Huh?
Oh, no! What have I done? Darn it!
Ingenious move, he's no slouch! Better watch out!
Me watch out! He's just a low level, we're the elites!
Now let's go!!
Kaio-Ken Attack!
Aaahh!
Not bad, Kakarot! For a low level!
That was from my crew to you!
So those were some of Frieza's elites!
I can see why he might be worried!
Now what?
Mmm! Unfortunate business isn't it, Bardock?
Darn right! Unfortunate for you, Dodoria!
Torah told me that you're behind this!
That blew him away!
Bardock, you should have remembered your place!
Commander Dodoria, a message from Lord Frieza, sir!
Oh?
Lord Frieza has requested that you rendezvous with his ship
before it reaches Vegeta, sir!
Frieza... planning something delicious no doubt!
I'll get them... somehow, someway!
For you guys.
You weren't low-level soldiers!
You were stronger than most of their elites!
We'll meet again, my friends!
Sooner or later, we'll meet again!
Hey, we've got one to go here!
Coordinate FX-50, his name is Kakarot!
Kakarot, huh?
And which planet are they sending you to, little guy!
Lets see, "Eeee-Arth"!
Eeee-Arth?
Look Kakarot, we don't name 'em, we just send you there, little buddy!
This pod is a go, let's move him out!
Mission accomplished, Sire!
Oh, really?
You sound so sure of yourself, Dodoria!
Once again, you botched it up!
I did not!
You missed one, the leader. Bardock! He's still alive!
You're wrong, I saw him die!
On? Then what's that there?
Huh? A Saiyan space-pod! I don't believe it!
How could he have survived that?
Dodoria! Perhaps this will teach you not to take things for granted!
To be more thorough with your work!
Lord Frieza, forgive me. Please, Sire!
Let me go now! Bardock, he's dead! I'll be...
You'll be quiet, Dodoria! You're not going anywhere!
There's no need to chase after the bee anymore,
I've decided to go straight for the hive!
Sire?
Yes, I see!
You've decided to extinguish the whole lot of them, Sire!
That's right! You guessed it Zarbon!
If you want to get rid of weeds for good,
you have to get them by the root!
Great, Frieza! Aw, man, not good!
He's coming to Vegeta! I know he is! I can feel it!
How bizarre! It's as clear as day!
I can go inside of his mind!
Ah, yes! Ease up! There she is! Beautiful, isn't she?
A rare gem indeed, as red as a blood ruby!
Stand clear of door seven! Launching sequence has been initiated!
It's happening again!
Kakarot!
Please clear the landing deck! Pod landing in four seconds!
Three... two... one...
Bardock? Hey, are you alright!
Yeah! Please! I need to go! Move!
You better go straight to recovery, oh and hey! You missed your son!
He just left!
Huh? Just now?
Yep! He left just before you arrived, Sir!
Darn shame! Yeah! You only missed him by a matter of seconds!
I wish I would have known that it was you coming in,
I could have delayed his departure!
Then it's true, all true!
I wasn't hallucinating!
My son, that planet!
Are you okay, Sir!
Please! You're injured!
Allow us to escort you to the recovery chambers!
That means that the other part of the vision must be true as well!
Vegeta!
I'd be happy to accompany you sir!
Oh my gosh, take a look at this would ya!
They really messed him up good this time!
That monster! He's going to blow up the whole planet!
I've got to warn the others!
I've got to stop him somehow!
The one who seeks the power, Frieza, will never have it!
But I have given it to you as a gift, Bardock!
So that you could see!
See the horror of your end, just like we had to!!
Where am I?
This is the future, Bardock!
This is what you killed my people for, isn't it?
My son?
Yes, your son!
He's growing up to be a powerful warrior just like his father was!
Was?
At this time you are long since dead!
You blow up with your planet!
No, Frieza!!
Take heart, Bardock!
A savior has been born!
One who has the power to save the innocent from people like Frieza
...and you!
No!
I'm not going crazy! It is the future!
I've got to let the others know!
If I'm able to see the future, there might be a chance to change it!
So, whatd'ya say?
You dog!
Whoa!!
Bardock, What's wrong?
He got his butt kicked, that's what's wrong!
It's about time!
Listen, everybody! It's Frieza! He's coming for us!
Us?
You mean you, right?
No us! You, me, everyone here! It's true!
He's scared of us! He wants us all dead!
My whole crew is dead thanks to that freak!
Bardock gets his tail whipped and it's the end of the world, right?
Maybe you goons should stop pretending to be elites!
No kidding, Bardock! Welcome to the real world, buddy-boy!
It hurts! Don't it?
Let's tell him that we'll leave him alone if he bows down
whenever he's in the presence of a Saiyan!
No, forget it!
That little worm is going to have to kiss my stinky feet!
Fools, you're dead!
Bow down in front of me Frieza,
And while you're down there, kiss my stinking feet!
Fools! You're all dead!
He's on his way!!
C'mon, Bardock!
Fine! Believe what you want to believe!
But I'm going to try and stop him!
Man, what's up with Bardock!
He lost his crew, that's what!
He needs to get to recovery!
Bardock!
Who is it?
Show yourself!
Who's calling me?
Come out! I know you're here!
Bardock!
Huh?
You know who I am! Don't you? Bardock!
Yes, you're my son!
It's not too late, Father! To be different...
than him!
Where am I?
This is madness!
Where I was seemed just as real as this!
Frieza!
I've got to stop him!!
It's him!
I can feel it!
I'm the only one who knows!
I have given it to you as a gift, Bardock!
So that you could see!
See the horror of your end!
Now you'll know how we felt!
Well, I'm not going to sit around and wait for the show!
I'll stop him, even if I have to do it with my own two hands!
Frieza,
I'm coming for you, you murderous,
self-serving traitor!
It's over!
Torah, Fasha! This is for you!
What a stunning sight!
Sometimes I amaze myself at how callous I can be!
Sire!
Lord Frieza!
An intruder is approaching!
Come on, you cowardsll
It's me he wants, isn't it?
So be it!
Sire?
Yes, prepare my transport, Zarbon!
Huh?
Sire, you wish to leave the ship?
Are you questioning my orders?
Huh? No, Lord Frieza! Right away, Sire!
Get him!
Got 'em!
Frieza!
Frieza, come out and fight me!
You coward! Come out!
It's him!
Frieza!
Lord Frieza!
We salute you, Sire.
Yeah! Long live, Lord Frieza!!
No way! You've lived long enough!
Actually, it's been too long for my taste!
Frieza, listen up... we quit! All of us!
Got it! We don't work for you!
We're free!
You can find someone else to do your dirty work!
Oh, yeah! There is one last thing!
This is for all the people that we killed in your name!
I wish we were never foolish enough to obey you!
Here... have it!
Huh? No way!!
Frieza! Please don't!
Yes, I... see... now!
It's you my son. You are the one who will defeat Frieza.
Kakarot!!!
Oh, my! This is, stupendous!
Wow! What a great show!
Unbelievable!! Look at than!
Kakarot! My son! Thank you for helping me!
You were right! It wasn't too late!
I only wish I would have held you in my arms when I had the chance!
Goodbye, my Son!
Prince Vegeta! Do you copy, Sir?
I'm here!
Sir, unfortunate news from Lord Frieza!
Planet Vegeta was struck by a large asteroid today and destroyed!
And, you're sure?
Affirmative, Sir!
Lord Frieza sends his sympathies and regrets!
As of now, you are the only known survivor!
Oh, really?
Would you like to send a reply sir?
No, no reply.
Very well sir, over and out.
Huh? oh my goodness, a little boy.
What are you doing way out here little fellow?
Huh?
Whatd'ya know, a tail!
Strange fellow!
Don't worry, I'm a little odd myself!
Believe it or not!
Oh, my! You are a little stinker, aren't you?
Goodness!
You should take it easy on me!
I'm old enough to be your Grandpa, you know!
Now let's see!
Hmm...
Aahh! Yes! I think I know what to call you
until I find out where you belong, little fella!
Look, how 'bout I call you Goku!
Oh! You like that, huh?
Alright, then, Goku it is! Woo hoo! Goku!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Weee!
What a good little boy!
