Dragon Ball is trolling its critics. In one of Dragon Ball Super's most pivotal moments, Goku just recalled a memory of his father Bardock, and it turns out to be one of the most controversial scenes from the revamped Broly film.
In what is clearly one of Dragon Ball Super's most pivotal moments, Goku just recalled a memory of his father Bardock for the first time in his life, and it turns out to be one of the most controversial scenes from the revamped Broly film. Mangaka Akira Toriyama, it seems, is trolling his critics.
In chapter 82 of the manga, an audio file of Bardock's voice in the deceased Saiyan's scouter triggers Goku into remembering the pivotal scene from Dragon Ball Super's Broly movie when Bardock and his wife Gine peer into the space pod they put their infant son Goku in just moments before it was set to blast off Planet Vegeta towards Earth.
It isn't until, quite literally, the very end of his life that Bardock hopes that Kakarot will survive and grow up to defeat Frieza. And when Bardock later"returns" as some invisible spirit to his sleeping son, the deceased Saiyan expresses regret for not having taken advantage of the short time he had with him. But this new rendition of Bardock comes to this more acceptable and fatherly opinion of his son while he's still breathing .
Diehard fans of the first Bardock: The Father of Goku undoubtedly view Dragon Ball Super's choice of making this Goku's first memory of his dad as a slap in the face, for that moment in the retconned Broly film is the very embodiment of all they think is wrong with Bardock's latest rendition. The"true" Bardock was so invested in gaining Frieza's recognition that his son was secondary, if even that.
