===Chapter 1===

Bardock tries to attack [[Frieza]] while the tyrant is in space above [[Frieza's spaceship|his spaceship]] with [[Zarbon]] and [[Dodoria]]. They have a short conversation. Frieza says he is sick of working with [[Saiyan]]s and launches a [[Supernova]] to blow up [[Planet Vegeta]]. Instead of dying, Bardock wakes up in a bed on a planet that looks a lot like Planet Vegeta. He is being treated by two aliens: [[Ipana]], the village doctor, and his son [[Berry]]. Bardock remarks that the medicine used to heal him is similar to the fluid in [[Medical Machine]]s and Ipana says that the name of the planet is [[Planet Plant]], so Bardock starts to wonder if he is in the past.

Two soldiers named [[Toobi]] and [[Cabira]] arrive in a spaceship and declare they are going to conquer Planet Plant. Bardock confronts and kills Cabira with a powerful roundhouse kick to the face. An enraged Toobi tries to punch Bardock, but the Saiyan dodges and kills Toobi using a [[Change the Future]]-like technique. The [[Plant Village Mayor|mayor]] and the villagers come to thank him, but Bardock flies away to hang out in a cave.

Berry arrives at the cave with a basket of food his father told him to take to Bardock. At first, Bardock tells Berry to leave, but he eventually eats the young alien's food. Berry comes back again with food multiple times, and Bardock seems to be growing tolerant of him. Meanwhile, a member of [[Frieza's race]], [[Chilled]], says it has been ten days since they have not heard from Toobi and Cabira, so he decides to investigate Planet Plant himself.
 
 
===Chapter 2===
 
[[File:BardockS39.png|thumb|left|Bardock attacks one of Chilled's soldiers and saves Ipana]]
 
Chilled arrives on Planet Plant with eight [[Galactic Frieza Army|soldiers]], but immediately [[Ruthless Blow|kills]] one of them because he was standing in front of him. Then, he has the idea to impersonate the [[Galactic Police]] and, wearing white cloaks, he and his soldiers go to meet the indigenous population of Planet Plant.
 
 
They arrive at the place where Ipana is healing a young kid with his special medicine, and Chilled remarks that the fluid has the power to heal wounds instantly. He and his soldiers tell the population that they came in pursuit of a pair of evildoers who were targeting Planet Plant for its abundant resources. The [[Plant (race)|Plants]] say that Bardock already took care of the pair, and Chilled tells them that they will get a nice reward if they allow him to meet Bardock.
 
 
[[File:Frieeezaaa.jpg|thumb|Bardock angrily attacks Chilled, thinking he is Frieza]]
 
Looking at Chilled, Berry remarks that he has blood on his right arm. Afraid, he goes to the cave where Bardock is hanging out. While Berry is telling Bardock that he has a bad feeling about the aliens who are in the village, Chilled and his men start terrorizing the planet. Berry then begs Bardock to help them, and Bardock accepts, remembering [[Bardock's Elite|his friends]]' decimation on [[Planet Meat]].
 
 
Bardock saves Ipana from the soldiers, and when he sees Chilled, he mistakes him for Frieza and angrily attacks him with a punch to the face. Chilled counterattacks by giving Bardock some kicks, then he begins to crush him, saying that he is the mightiest being in the [[universe]].
 
 
===Chapter 3===
 
[[File:Aaaaaahhh.jpg|thumb|left|Bardock about to transform into a Super Saiyan]]
 
With Bardock's energy dropping fast, Chilled prepares to deliver the finishing blow, but Berry leaps forward in an act of courage to save him. However, Chilled notices this and shoots him with his [[Death Razor]] technique to eliminate the Plant for good. Seeing this, Bardock becomes infuriated. For a short second, Bardock's anger causes him to see Chilled as Frieza, remembering his betrayal of the Saiyan race, and he becomes determined to avenge his crew and his newly found friend.
 
 
[[File:Rushing.jpg|thumb|Chilled rushes toward Bardock]]
 
Bardock obtains a tremendous amount of energy, formed into waves flowing through his body, and with his might, he turns into the almighty [[Super Saiyan]]. The two warriors continue fighting, but with Bardock's newfound powers, he easily defeats Chilled and his minions.
 
 
As a last resort, Chilled throws a [[Death Ball]] at Bardock, intending to kill him with the last gasp of his energy, but it is pushed back by Bardock's [[Rebellion Trigger]]. With an extra push, Bardock also joins his own remaining energy with Chilled's, making the final blow and sending Chilled into the depths of space. The villagers cheer on Bardock, proud of his fantastic efforts, and Bardock smiles and gives them a thumbs up.
 
 
[[File:Bardack-ssj-dragon-ball-z-27766941-1920-1080-1-.png|thumb|left|Super Saiyan Bardock after defeating Chilled]]
 
Later on, however, Chilled is seen floating through space, barely alive. His spaceship's men quickly take care of him, putting him under respiratory assistance. As he recovers he recalls back this incredible [[transformation]], and informs his crew to warn his descendants about it (presenting how Frieza's family came to know about and fear the legend of the Super Saiyan).
 
 
When the three chapters were reprinted in the April 2012 issue of ''V-Jump'', two additional pages were added to the end of the third chapter: they show Bardock thinking back to his crew and walking into the [[sun]]set, as he does in the movie adaptation.
 
 
==Timeline placement==
 
''Episode of Bardock'' is shown to be a sequel to ''Bardock - The Father of Goku'', as the opening part of the animation is Frieza destroying Planet Vegeta with his Supernova and Bardock trying to stop him. Bardock is then sent far back in time, to before the Saiyans had arrived on Planet Vegeta, and the rest of the animation takes place at this point in time. Since Bardock becomes a Super Saiyan in the special, and Goku's transformation into a Super Saiyan on Planet Namek was said to be the first appearance of a Super Saiyan in a thousand years, the events taking place after Bardock has been sent back in time must take place [[238 Before Age|at least one thousand years]] before the [[Battle on Planet Namek]].
 
 
The events of ''Episode of Bardock'' are implied to have been caused by [[Towa]]'s meddling in ''[[Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2]]'', as she states that after capturing Bardock with a wormhole as he was about to die by Frieza's hand he ran away into the '''distant past''', only to be caught there by Towa and Mira and reprogrammed into the Masked Saiyan. As Xeno Bardock (and the Masked Saiyan in the Parallel Quest: "''Insidious Plot''"), is capable of transforming into a Super Saiyan in ''Xenoverse 2'', it is strongly implied that Bardock was captured after his battle with Chilled. Interestingly, Chronoa and the Time Patrol seem to have no problem with allowing Bardock's battle with Chilled to remain as part of history as Frieza Race Time Patroller Jierra is sent to ensure that Chilled survives the battle and passes on knowledge of Super Saiyans before dying of his injuries, indicating that the Time Patrol considers it part of the official history (however this may be due to Xeno Bardock's role in Mira's defeat as his battle with Mira ultimately lead to Mira change in personality that causes him to defy Towa which leads to the Time Breakers' defeat during the climactic final battle of ''Xenoverse 2'').
 
 
Alternatively, Chronoa allowed it to remain in the timeline since Bardock unintentionally altered the past as he had been transported through time due to the intervention of the Time Breakers and found himself on Planet Plant in the past while recovering from his injuries, just as Chilled invaded the planet (which would one day become Planet Vegeta). As Planet Vegeta was later annexed by Frieza centuries later, it is unlikely that Chilled would have conquered the planet in the past in the unaltered history, as it would have likely already been under Frieza's control by the time the Saiyan's arrived on Planet Plant following the destruction of Planet Sadla of Universe 7, when it was inhabited by the Tuffles, leading to the likely possibility that Chilled's appearance on the planet was a side effect of the time distortion caused by Bardock appearing on Planet Plant in the past, however ironically Super Saiyan Bardock managed to fix the change when his actions lead to Chilled dying of his injuries sustained during their battle. Presumably, Chilled must have originally died in that same year of a different cause (e.g. in battle, accident, or natural causes such as disease) and never came to Planet Plant in the unaltered timeline, before the timeline was altered by Bardock's accidental presence.
 
 
Thus similar to timelines fixed by the Time Patrol, Bardock managed to fix the very change he accidently caused and thus the original timeline was for the most part unaffected preventing the Time Scroll that recorded it from splitting as it did not completely contradict the original history (as Chilled ultimately died regardless). Thus since Bardock ended up fixing the very time distortion that his presence had caused, Chronoa may have chose to treat it in the same manner she does when it comes to timelines fixed by the Time Patrol and/or due to being aware that Bardock's traveling through time was not intentional on his part and that he killed Chilled only because he had mistaken Chilled for his descendant, Frieza. Chronoa may have also allowed it to remain as part of history, similar to the [[Alternate timeline]]s created by Future Trunks' and Cell's use of Future Bulma's [[Time Machine]] (as like with Jierra, both of the [[Future Warrior]] and [[Future Warrior (Xenoverse 2)|Future Warrior 2]] have had to fix history changes in those timelines in the main story of ''Xenoverse'' and ''Xenoverse 2'', despite the fact that those timelines are the result of time distortions).
 
 
Presumably after the battle with Chilled, Bardock was eventually captured by Towa and Mira who presumably took him to [[Age ???]], leading to his body being modified and mind brainwashed by Towa, turning him into the [[Masked Saiyan]].
 
 
==Anime adaptation==
 
[[File:EoBPoster.jpg|thumb|''Episode of Bardock'' poster (''Saikyō Jump'', February 3, 2012)]]
 
The ''Episode of Bardock'' was given an anime adaptation as part of the ''Dragon Ball SSSS'' project. The OVA had an advance screening at Jump Festa 2012 (December 17 and 18, 2011) in Japan, and the streamed version was only available online until December 28, 2011.
 
 
The adaptation appeared on a bonus DVD that come with the March 2012 issue of ''Saikyō Jump''. This DVD also contained the 2010 ''[[Dragon Ball: Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans]]''. The 20 minute movie also comes as a bonus with every copy of the 2012 [[video game]] ''[[Dragon Ball Z For Kinect]]''.
 
 
===Differences from the manga===
 
There are minor differences between the anime adaptation and the ''Episode of Bardock'' manga:
 
*In this OVA, Zarbon and Dodoria are outside the ship when Bardock confronts Frieza. In the TV special, they are inside the ship.
 
*When Bardock launches his [[Final Spirit Cannon]] against Frieza in the anime, his armor is whole but when he charges the attack, it is damaged. In the manga, his armor is intact the whole time.
 
*In ''Dragon Ball Z'' flashbacks, ''Bardock - The Father of Goku'', and the anime of ''Episode of Bardock'', Frieza's Supernova hits Bardock and then crashes into Planet Vegeta. In the manga of ''Episode of Bardock'', the attack does not hit Bardock and instead just hits Planet Vegeta.
 
*Short scenes with Berry were added: the one where he gives the medicine for Bardock to his father, the one where he hides under a blanket, and the one where Bardock gives him some of his food when he decides to befriend Berry.
 
*Chilled's soldiers use [[Arm Cannon]]s in the movie while they did not in the manga.
 
*Bardock kills Toobi and Cabira with techniques different from those he used in the manga.
 
*The mayor of Ipana's village does not appear in the anime adaptation.
 
*Chilled is not seen where [[Chilled's spaceship|his spaceship]] landed on Planet Plant, and so he is not seen killing one of his soldiers nor telling his plan to his soldiers when he arrived on the planet in the movie.
 
*Ipana tries to help Bardock when Chilled steps on him in the movie, so Chilled strikes him with his [[tail]].
 
*In the movie, Chilled dies in his spaceship after the battle against Super Saiyan Bardock. In the manga, it is unknown if he dies or is unconscious.
 
*In the original manga ending, after Chilled is defeated, both Berry and his father run towards him in excitement and shortly after, more of the villagers gather around rejoicing and Bardock is last seen smiling. In the ending of the movie, Berry wakes up in his father's arms after being knocked unconscious and wonders what happened to Bardock. His father looks over to the right and as Berry looks in that direction, he gets up he watches him, teary-eyed as he walks off into the sunset. When the manga was reprinted in the April 2012 issue of ''V-Jump'', two additional pages were added to the end of the third chapter to match the OVA ending.

Timeline placement

Episode of Bardock is shown to be a sequel to Bardock - The Father of Goku, as the opening part of the animation is Frieza destroying Planet Vegeta with his Supernova and Bardock trying to stop him. Bardock is then sent far back in time, to before the Saiyans had arrived on Planet Vegeta, and the rest of the animation takes place at this point in time.

The sections occurring in the past happen before the Saiyans arrived on Planet Plant, thus before Age 550.

Battles

  • Bardock vs. Frieza
  • Bardock vs. Tobi and Cabira
  • Bardock vs. Chilled's soldiers
  • Bardock (Base/Super Saiyan) vs. Chilled

Trivia

  • This is the only manga/anime in the series in which Goku does not appear, although he does appear on the poster.
  • In one of the promotional posters, Bardock's tail as Super Saiyan changes its color but in the OVA, the tail remains in its natural color.
  • Bardock's former teammates make cameo appearances in both the anime and manga of the Episode of Bardock when Bardock thinks about when he found their dead corpses though curiously in the manga version of this cameo, Tora's corpse is not seen.
