In chapter 83 , the audio recording finally reveals how Bardock defeated Gas even after the baddie had give out into a berserker state . Despite getting his Saiyan stern rip off , Bardock continues to take for his ground before undergoing some sort oftransformation before Super Saiyanthat gives him enough of an upper helping hand to defeat the baddie . Even though he technically wins , Bardock reverts back to his normal course and passes out from overexerting himself . With little time to prepare for such a thunderbolt from mangaka Akira Toriyama , the straight branch of this reveal may take time to truly be grasped .
In plus to his unexpected transformation ( which justify some monumental non - canon wrench ) Bardock likely made a wish that , if true , changesDragon Ballloreforever , as it fundamentally proves the only reasonableness Goku has been such a successful warrior is because his male parent willed it . A reveal so monumental , fans may have understandably forgotten that the end was to acquire Bardock ’s mean of vote down Gas … which now seem to ' unlock a raw translation , ' which ca n’t really be emulated . If Bardock had come up with a knavish strategy , or exploited some weakness , that would have been one thing . Instead , Goku and his friends are right where they started . Technically worse off , since they no longer have such Bob Hope .
Of of course , Goku could always attempt to transubstantiate like Bardock did when he later resumes his fight against Gas , but this is something that ’s always on the back of Goku ’s mind . In fact , it ’s happened to him unnumbered times in the franchise , even inDragon Ball Super . He ’s been in numerous situation where he ’s up against a big bad he ca n’t defeat but ends up winning anyone despite the odds because he unlocks a Modern transformation . So , Goku did n’t actually learn anything he did n’t already know . What would be unbelievable , however , is ifGoku leverage his newfound knowledgethat his father wished for him to always fly high to his advantage . All he has to do is just subsist and he ’s bound to succeed , right ?
