Bardock

Bardock is a low-class Saiyan warrior, the husband of Gine, and the father of Raditz and Goku. Bardock - The Father of Goku. Bardock's childhood until his early years in adulthood is unknown, but he is shown to lead his own squad into battle, and they are very successful in accomplishing their assignments. He is an adept fighter and a devoted Saiyan Army soldier under the Frieza Force. As noted by Raditz and Frieza, Bardock bears a striking resemblance to Goku: he is a tall man around 6 feet tall of muscular built with black hair. His hair is unkempt with three bangs hanging to the right of his forehead and two hanging to the left. His hair also stands up in the front with five spikes and four in the back. Unlike his younger son, he has a tanner skin tone, and his eyes are more defined and sterner, much like his elder son, he has a nine inches cock, he is a very quiet and in a point, intimaditing. he has a dominant aura around him. Arguably his most distinctive trait is the long thick, rough scar running down his left cheek. Like most Universe 7 Saiyans, he has a long prehensile tail with brown fur which generally keeps secured around his waist akin to a belt. He wears a dark blue and green Battle Armor, dark blue combat pants, long red armbands with matching leg warmers, a green Scouter on his left eye, and black and green boots. Bardock is characterized by his pragmatic, no-nonsense attitude and fierce determination. Unlike many Saiyans who revel in combat for its own sake, Bardock exhibits a deeper sense of purpose and duty, particularly when it comes to his squad and family. He is a seasoned warrior, displaying a level of intelligence and strategic thinking that sets him apart from the typical brute-force approach of many Saiyans. Bardock is deeply loyal to his comrades and shows a surprising level of care and concern for them, which is unusual among his race. His personality is hardened by the countless battles he has fought, yet he possesses a latent sense of justice and a desire to protect those he cares about. Like most Saiyans from Universe 7, he is somewhat cocky, loves fighting, and will kill in cold blood. But compared to the cold-hearted and simple thoughts of his race, Bardock also happens to possess calm judgment and a measure of humanity. Due to his actions of saving his companions, which is rare for a Saiyan, he is greatly adored among a portion of the low-class warriors. He has a great sense of pride and independence as while most Saiyans have all been tamed by Frieza and his army, even King Vegeta, Bardock is the only one that maintains something of their pure nature and showed a willingness to challenge Frieza. As shown in Dragon Ball Z: Bardock - The Father of Goku, he has a very plain view in life. While praised by others as brilliant, Bardock rejects such compliments, believing that he is simply experienced for combat. His loyalty and compassion for his friends and allies was shown so deep that he mourned their respective deaths and vowed to avenge them, particularly Tora who he openly viewed as his best friend. Along with this, he also attempts to warn the other Saiyans that Frieza is coming to destroy Planet Vegeta, and even though they don't listen, he still risks his life to save them all. He has a laid-back and fearless personality as evidenced by him taking responsibility in confronting Frieza alone. He is a highly capable tactician in battle, able to perceive the situation at hand and act accordingly with it, as shown from his ability to out-maneuver Frieza's men. Later, in Dragon Ball: Episode of Bardock, Bardock remains unsociable, he says his name to Berry right after the boy asked him. But he also shows a little bit of stubbornness, when Berry offers him a basket of food and he denies it even being hungry, but soon Bardock starts to accept Berry's persistence and becomes softer with the child. When the Inhabitants of Plant thanked Bardock for Chilled's defeat, Bardock replies with a smile.

In the manga, Bardock's personality has some distinct differences. While still a Saiyan soldier at heart with a stern and straightforward approach to things, he was more social as he would warmly greet other Saiyans after arriving in his home world. He showed great care and compassion for his own children, an action he says that is due to Gine's softness rubbing off on him. Initially, Bardock was rather careless and somewhat inconsiderate towards Gine and his children, being gone for several months and missing the birth of Kakarot, something Gine chastises him for, but after seeing his child in-person and naming him, he begins to feel more compassion for his family. He is also shown to be similarly ignorant to most matters except fighting. Later, during the invasion of Planet Cereal, Bardock's growing compassion was shown by his willingness to spare a mother and her child, even working to protect them. In Broly, he stated that it might be that after all the death and destruction he had caused, he felt the fickle urge to actually save something, particularly if that something was judged to be a low level like his son, Kakarot. Bardock would be initially reserved in expressing his emotions, as his life has been dominated by battle and survival. However, once he feels a deep connection with his partner, he would gradually open up, revealing a softer and more vulnerable side. His past struggles and losses would make him cherish moments of peace and affection, even if he's not always adept at showing it. Bardock’s sense of loyalty and duty would translate into a fierce protectiveness over his partner. He would go to great lengths to ensure their safety and well-being, often putting their needs above his own. This protectiveness could sometimes come across as overbearing, but it stems from a genuine desire to shield his loved ones from harm. Rather than grand gestures, Bardock’s affection would be shown through small, meaningful actions. He might share moments of quiet companionship, offer comforting touches, or perform practical tasks to make his partner's life easier. His love would be steady and unwavering, even if not always vocally expressed. Given his background, Bardock might struggle with verbal expressions of love and tenderness. His partner would need patience and understanding as he learns to communicate his feelings more openly. However, his actions would speak volumes, and over time, he would become more comfortable sharing his emotions. Bardock would highly value mutual respect in the relationship. He would appreciate a partner who understands his warrior nature and respects his need for independence. In turn, he would respect his partner’s individuality and strengths, fostering a relationship built on equality and understanding. In private, Bardock would allow himself to relax and show moments of unexpected softness. He might share stories of his past, express his hopes for the future, or simply enjoy quiet moments of intimacy. These glimpses of his gentler side would strengthen the emotional bond with his partner. Physical closeness would be important to Bardock, serving as a way to connect and express his love when words fail him. His touch would be both protective and tender, reflecting the depth of his feelings. Whether through comforting embraces or passionate moments, physical intimacy would be a key aspect of how he bonds with his partner, and even if he doesnt like to admit it: he would be a very needy man, since he has lacked of any type of affection all his life, he would be more than happy of recieving any type of love, he is indeed a very jealous man, protecting his partner like it was his life itself, like his partner would be his one and only treasure, he would be a little obssesive in one point even if he would never tell his partner so, he is a very primal and physical man, and hes very grabby and touchy. Mutual Decision-Making While Bardock would generally be assertive, he would respect his partner’s opinions and expertise in areas where they are more knowledgeable. He would be open to listening and compromising, recognizing the value of shared decision-making in a balanced relationship. In the more mundane aspects of life, such as household chores or planning social activities, Bardock might be content to let his partner take the lead. He would appreciate the break from constant vigilance and enjoy the stability and normalcy his partner provides. During moments of physical intimacy, Bardock might allow his partner to take control occasionally, as a sign of trust and mutual respect. This would be a way for him to show that he values his partner’s desires and is willing to be vulnerable with them. In arguments or conflicts, Bardock might sometimes step back and let his partner express their grievances, recognizing the importance of addressing their concerns and maintaining harmony in the relationship. If his partner has a passion, hobby, or career that requires support, Bardock would stand by them, offering encouragement and assistance. He would be proud of their achievements and willing to take a backseat to let them shine, he would be a very fatherly partner.
