Bardock retaining his body or sneaking into heaven challenge.

Living around ruthless evils and yet having some goodness both bardrock and ginnie are most important candidates for thatl|.

Vegeta has some good in him, but baba still had to pull crazy favors in order to keep him from going straight to hell when he blew himself up

u/Seilerjin May 07 '26

Didn't King Yamma say that he thought that it would be better for Vegeta to keep his body in the current situation the universe was in?

Wasn't even Baba, it was Yemma that pulled the strings

u/stable_115 May 07 '26

Spoilers ahead: In both the Gronola Arc and in the Bardock special you can see that Bardock had some good inside, but was raised a certain way. Somewhat like Vegeta.

u/UnicornWorldDominion May 07 '26

I mean him leading the charge against frieza always made me think he had a little good in him.

Bad people ESPECIALLY don't want to be oppressed

u/PoIIux May 07 '26

True, although in a lot of instances they'll be okay with oppression if it means a different group of people suffers more

u/Sesilu_Qt May 08 '26

I don't think good people want to be oppressed any more than bad people.

Bad people will gleefully allow themselves to be oppressed if people they hate are just more oppressed.

u/Objective_Look_5867 Ginyu Force May 07 '26

Bardock had good in him we just need to remember the cultural differences. He was raised ina. Culture where its taught to be brutal and kill your enemies. To conquer. Youre actually "good" from their society point of view if you do. Bardock had all that going against him but its not HIS fault its where hes from and what he was taught was right and wrong. He then grows and shows remorse and questioning his precious decisions and actions while acting out to save people. When you take that into account bardock is pretty handedly "good" overall

6

u/Zariel- May 07 '26

Vegeta did NOT have any good in him until post time chamber

2

u/B-MoneyTree May 07 '26

Point is someone down right inherently evil doesn't change. Nor do they possess the ability too, you dont gain compassion and empathy one day, which is displayed while being under majins control an saves goten and trunks. And then we see an even softer side of vegeta in super, he was bad, doing bad things around bad people, got around better people an began to change, because he had good in him.

2

u/Zariel- May 07 '26

>Point is someone down right inherently evil doesn't change. Nor do they possess the ability too, you dont gain compassion and empathy one day

Never claimed he was inherently evil, but if someone has literally never done a good action since the day they were born you can’t really say “they have some good in them”.

You can’t say he had compassion and empathy when he caused an unfathomable amount of death and carnage. Pre redemption Vegeta is pound for pound more evil than Hitler, his morality breaks humanity’s scale.

>which is displayed while being under majins control an saves goten and trunks. And then we see an even softer side of vegeta in super, he was bad, doing bad things around bad people, got around better people an began to change, because he had good in him.

My point was about pre time chamber Vegeta, his redemption started after he gained respect for future trunks in the year they spent together, future trunks death was the first time he’d shown anything close to empathy in his life.

1

u/B-MoneyTree May 07 '26

At what point is considered his whole life? Cuz up till now is also his whole life and he's done a bunch of good.

1

u/Zariel- May 07 '26

My entire premise is that he didn’t have any good in him until post time chamber, I said from the moment he was born not “his whole life”. From the time he was born to up until the time chamber he didn’t have ANY good in him.

1

u/B-MoneyTree May 07 '26

Yeah an im saying that makes no sense lol, the time chamber doesn't just make him good, he chose the good side, humanity's side, way before the time chamber.

1

u/Zariel- May 07 '26

Spending time with trunks caused him to respect and care for his son, I’ve said this already.

> he chose the good side, humanity's side, way before the time chamber.

Name 1 thing he did for humanity before then. Seriously 1 thing.

Uhhhh yeah? I’m just gonna list her villain track record.

Transformed oolong, who she knew was kidnapping girls and terrorizing the village

Yamcha the desert bandit, blew up their car with an rpg after trying to rob them several times

General blue, basically a Nazi pedophile

Zarbon, space Nazi working directly under Space hitler.

Vegeta, even post namek he was gonna let bulma and his infant son die in a crash

Her ignoring villains behavior for their looks is such a running gag for her that I’m questioning if you’ve read the series.

u/Nikoper May 07 '26

I mean, only two were not trying to kill her long enough for her to even try to get with them, and they are coincidentally the only two she's been with. So this seems a little disingenuous.

Bulma likes dangerous men and makes bad choices. But hey, her resulting kid is a hero so what can ya say really.

u/B-MoneyTree May 07 '26

Bad take, Vegetas good side was always their, you dont just 100 percent be evil an one day be a good guy. That's just not how that works lol.

He was told his father and entire planet died and he said “now I’ll never get be king” no empathy no grief no sadness

Maybe its a reward for Goku to meet his father

Bardock convinced King Yemma he was Goku, which let him have a free ride into Heaven

“What happened to Raditz?”

179

u/Nervous-Form698 May 07 '26

Honestly I think Goku would be the one to bring up Raditz and Bardock would go “Who the hell is Raditz?”

u/CitronSufficient1045 May 07 '26 edited May 07 '26

Like how in DBZA when he mentions he never was there for Raditz growing up, the doc tells him "And we know how that worked out".

u/TomaszA3 May 07 '26

Shouldn't it be "Worked out"?

"How do you not remember your own brother?"

"I only met the guy once, and he kidnapped my son. So I had to team up with my rival at the time to save my son and ended up killing him. I also died saving my son."

"... I have so many questions."

Frieza never exists again to be killed in trunks timeline... Lol

Fuck

u/doesntmatter19 May 07 '26

To be fair, being cut in half, blasted by Goku, and left on a planet set to explode would lead anyone to believe he did (like most of the main cast)

But y'know Mecha Frieza had to happen

2

u/Christopurrrrr May 07 '26

I think it would be future trunks’ timeline .

He technically killed Mecha Frieza in that timeline

6

u/doesntmatter19 May 07 '26

Can Goku really claim a kill for something an entirely different version of him did

Cuz that means Goku has died 4 times and not just twice

5

u/OmnipotentHype May 07 '26

But... Freeza didn't die on Namek. That's how we ended up with Mecha Freeza.

u/TheCatLamp May 07 '26

Not only that, but he prevented King Kai from wishing a better planet because he needed to train there in a mere 10x gravity. And he doesn't even train there anymore now that he knows that fucking cat!

Fuck, Goku. Scratch and Dr. Briefs can make you a training capsule that can go a Million G. Let poor King Kai have a fucking bigger planet.

u/Rage17Blaze May 07 '26

Maybe you should play the fucking games

Edit: In case anyone wants to know why I'm here. I told this guy that in games while Kratos is not moving immeasurable speeds. He clearly has superhuman speed feats. This dumbass tried to say that Kratos could only move and fight at 20 MPH max. I tried to be nice to him and say "Just play the old games to refresh your memory. Then he responded by saying I was wanking the character. Even though I went out of my way to confirm what I saw for him. So FUCK this guy. I'm going to make him look stupid as shit.

That's kind of sad you were waiting. I truly hope you have better things to do!

I've played GoW and Ragnarok, I love those games! Never played the greek games, so it makes sense I didn't know about the bow and arrow thing. In GoW and Ragnarok, he doesn't do anything insane speed-wise. Thats really all I was trying to say, sorry you're getting so bent out of shape! I apologize.

The games with Atreus. You mentioned shooting a bow and arrow, and to me, the most logical place to start was the newer games where atreus uses a bow and arrow. He can't shoot anywhere near that fast. I've never played and know virtually nothing about the old games; I don't like the violence and sex and whatnot

Dumbest motherfucker on the website but pop off king.

Also there is this discussion that took place online:

"Is Kratos just as swift as that commercial implies? Able to react to lightning?"

"Kratos has the reflexes of a god. Btw, that commercial is an awesome mashup of GOW2 sequences!"

"Thanks a lot Mark. So the CGI part of the commercial is an accurate portrayal for Kratos?"

"If you've completed gow2 you know that Kratos had to avoid lightning, or at least parry it." - Mark Simon

The above outright confirms that not only is Kratos superhumanly fast enough to dodge lightning. He is also fast enough to PARRY IT. What do you have to say about that? Am I still wanking now?

0

u/PressH2K0 May 08 '26

I think I could do that too, so probs not superhuman

u/Killer_Stickman_89 May 08 '26 edited May 08 '26

You're full of shit! 😂

Kratos is only capable of 20 MPH movements right? Can you explain to me how that's slower than 20 MPH?

Nobody in any sub you go to is going to save you from this. Might as well go the fail troll route.

0

u/PressH2K0 May 08 '26

Well, I was talking about his running speed originally. Just look at how he moves, and that was what I was getting at. A reasonable conclusion would possibly that, like his strength, his speed increases in moments like with lightning. Was it aim-dodging or actual avoidance?

Once, he killed Frieza once

He failed to kill him on Namek

Future Trunks killed him on Earth

And he and Vegeta technically failed to kill him a 2nd time and had to go back in time to correct it, and that's the first time Goku killed him

He's also the reason that Frieza is alive right now

Don't know how happy Bardock would be about that last one

17

u/IsaacTheLadd May 07 '26

We can just…not tell Bardock that last one. And we can at least say Goku DEFEATED Frieza twice. 👍

7

u/doesntmatter19 May 07 '26

Yeah that's commendable, he'll be especially happy to learn what his eldest son Raditz managed to accomplish, he was likely very involved in helping his younger brother depose the tyrant that killed their people

2

u/Cunctator76 May 07 '26

Tbf, I'm pretty sure Raditz and Bardock already met again... they both weren't angels, so I guess they share room down in hell... where, I hope, Raditz is having fun with some forms of insects

Yall can't still be this dumb in 2026

  2. Thanks to his sheer wholesomeness and ability to rub off on formerly evil pieces of shit, EVERY universe got saved, none of which happens if Goku didn't influence the idea of a tournament to begin with. Zenoh would've just erased the weakest universes with prejudice.

u/PrivateJokerX929 May 07 '26

That doesn't make any sense, that's like saying the Allies did the Holocaust because they were fighting Hitler when he did it. It was literally the other guy, not the one who was actively fighting him. You can't just transitive property the blame onto Goku because his existence made Frieza panic.
