Bardock manga (made by a female DB fan)

[ahill1]

In this mini "spin off" Goku was sent to Earth when he was about three years. Does it contradict something?

Also, was it supervised by Akira Toriyama?

 

[Papasmurf]

That was in DB Minus and not the Bardock spin-off iirc. Toriyama drew the entirety of Minus, so it's valid

 

[Fantastische Hure]

The manga drawn by a woman was Episode of Bardock. You seem to be talking about DragonBall Minus which was done by AT himself. And yes it does contradict.

Oh, so there're two "Bardock mangas"? I thought there was just one and AT didn't take part in its drawing and story. Can you link me to it?

Also, why does it contradict again?

 

[Papasmurf]

Doesn't necessarily contradict per se, it just retcons Galu's age to 3 instead of 0 when he arrives on Earth and changes the reason for Galu arriving in the first place to "being sent there by bardock for his safety" instead of just being sent to destroy the population

A manga wrote by a fan that supervisioned? As far as i know, the only manga with Bardock is Minus.

Lol, that's contradictory enough no?

Also, why should Goku be 0 when sent to Earth? Due to Kame Sennin calling him a baby?

 

[Papasmurf]

There's also Raditz saying he was an infant when he was sent to Earth, but like I said in the other thread that could be explained as Saiyan babies taking 3 years to develop in the mother's womb/the incubating machine

He was born around the same time Planet Vegeta was destroyed in the TV-Special and Bardock and Goku also spent some quality time and Goku acts like he likes them. Very weird.

Should be on KissManga

True, I remember Goku's mom saying something like "we will reach after you" to which Goku was with a sad face, likely not wanting to be away from his parents. He just doesn't remember anything about them afterwards though.

I remember that, l0l.

He was like all sad about that. Touching the glass of his space-pod, like he didn't want to leave. Come DragonBall Z *who the fack are they?*

I know he hit his head, but still. It's weird. Even Raditz doesn't act like Goku would ever remember or recognize him.

I finished reading DB minus, and why do you say Goku was three years there? Unless I missed something, Goku's age wasn's specified.

BTW, Goku was in that incubator machine in his 1st appearence in the DM Minus made by Toriyamaaaaa-san. What does that incubator machine has to do with anything?

 

[Papasmurf]

Galu was in the tank for 3 years no?

 

[ahill1]

Galu was in the tank for 3 years no?

Oh, I missed this three years tibit. Do you know whether the tank has to do with something? Saiyans babies get into that tank after being born?

But, Kame-Sen'nin was the one that described him as a baby, so what should be relevant is what Kame-sen'nin -- an earthling -- considers as a baby (or rather, Son Gohan). Unless 3 years Saiyans are still baby-like.

 

[Papasmurf]

I think Saiyans probably put their kids immediately in the tube after conception so the female warriors don't have to take longassed leaves from the line of duty but that's just my speculation

 

[Captain Cadaver]

The 3 years thing doesn't necessarily contradict much. It's the other aspects of Minus that are contradictive. For example, the reason for Galu being sent to Earth being retconned and thus damaging his character by making him a Superman clone. There's also Freeza's reasoning for destroying the Saiyans being changed once again, with him putting more stock in the idea of SSJ and SSG than in his initial fear of their strength in numbers.

 

[ahill1]

^True. Do you think Akira Toriyama just forgot about the initial reason to which Goku was sent to Earth? Or maybe Raditz was bullshitting lol.

 

[Papasmurf]

They could've just reported that they sent Kakarot to conquer Earth rather than for his safety, which later became what Raditz knows to be the reason Galu landed on Earth.

Also, Freeza had internal monologues about Saiyan potential and the SSJ as early as the Zarbon fight, so that's not too contradictive although him knowing about SSJG is completely stupid if even Vegeta was unaware of it (and makes Freeza look even dumber for never training since he was a kid).

Who'd have reported it?

I agree with this, I don't think this is a contradiction. It seems Freeza feared both -- considering he stated to himself something about how it'd be troublesome if they were to turn into SSJ when calling the Ginyu Tokusentai, as well as Vegeta stating Freeza feared the legendary SSJ when in the verge of his death.

But it seems stupid that Freeza never killed Vegeta until then, as he was the most likely one to become a SSJ amongst all the Saiyajins, with Freeza himself [iirc] recognizing Vegeta's potential.

 

[Papasmurf]

Imagine one of Bardock's superiors asked why his newborn son wasn't around anymore. Most logical excuse would be that he sent him to Earth to conquer it.
