Talk:Bardock

Bardock appeared in the manga. Volume 10 accd. to Viz. Check it out to get the chapter number, or I can do it later. In the manga, he's 'Burdock' though. And don't forget his son Raditz...

in the anime, didn't vegeta once say that bardock was a scientist and invented the technique of creating a false full moon? Xunflash 22:01, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Burdock being a scientist was a line in the original dub only. He never was a scientist, and he never invented the "Power Ball" The S

About Burdock inventing the false moon.

I've been watching the japanese version of DBZ Uncut, and Vegeta never said that Burdock created the false moon. He said something along the lines that "only a few gifted saiyans have this ability". I think that the reference of Burdock creating the false moon, must have just been dialogue that FUNIMATION added in the dubbed american version of DBZ.

It was. Bardock was not a "brilliant scientist." Onikage725 21:01, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

None of the information in the Bardock special is canon Bartock did NOT play an important role in the Saiyan race other than fathering Goku user:Dragon Emperor

Actually, Dragon Emperor, the Bardock Special is canon due to the fact that Akira Toriyama considers it canon thus making the events in the Bardock Special Canon.

In the first showing of DragonBall Z, it is said that Bardock was a brilliant scientist and whatnot. However, when the tv special came out, there were obvious conflicts. When FUNimation redid the episodes for the "Ultimate Uncut" edition of the Saiyan, or now called, "Vegeta" saga, all mentions of Bardock being a scientist have been edited out. user:Nsmith4658

I think I remember Vegeta mentioning that Goku's Saiyan grandfather was the creator of the false moon trick in the anime, though I have not seen the episode for quite some time and I may be mistaken. - Sh@z@M
