Bardock is Goku and Raditz’s father and the only Saiyan who knew what was going to become of planet Vegeta and his people. While on planet Karnassa, he was cursed with the ability to see the future, and saw glimpses of his planet being destroyed, as well as several visions of his son’s life on Earth. He survives a surprise attack from Dodoria and his men who were sent by Frieza to take them out before he made his way to planet Vegeta. Dodoria’s men killed Bardock’s 4 crewmates, and just before he dies, Toma tells Bardock everything that happened. Bardock makes quick work of Dodoria’s men, slaughtering all of them but Dodoria himself, who thinks he has killed Bardock and heads back to Frieza’s ship. Bardock survives and returns to planet Vegeta at top speed, but when he gets there no one believes his story or his visions. Alone, the brave warrior Bardock makes a last stand against Frieza and tries to kill him, but his attempt is fruitless and he is destroyed by the biggest Death Ball Frieza ever created. As Bardock dies, he finally realizes that it was not him who is destined to defeat Frieza, but his son. In the dub, he speaks to his son from the after-life while little Kakarot is on his way to Earth, and charges him with the task of killing Frieza to avenge his father, and all Saiyans.
