When the set releases in December of 2021, Bleeding Cool readers can expect openings and product reviews as well. Stay tuned for more previews of Dragon Ball Super Card Game: Mythic Booster. Other expanded universe material shows more Bardock progression, as with the Super Saiyan 3 depiction on this new reprint. The non-canon anime shows Bardock battle against Chilled, an ancestor of Frieza, which leads to his transformation into a Super Saiyan. Super Dragon Ball Heroes, also referred to as Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Universe Mission is a anime web series from the Dragon Ball Heroes video games. There was also Episode of Bardock, a manga that was adapted into an anime as part of a promotion for the game Dragon Ball Heroes, which introduced a 'What If' scenario that sent Bardock back in time the moment he was about to be obliterated by Frieza. His role in that film, Bardock: Father of Goku, was eventually adapted by Akira Toriyama himself into Dragon Ball canon with the Super-era film, DBS: Broly, which showed more of Bardock's family life and motivation. Initially, he was the ill-fated father of Goku who took his final stance against Frieza, taking a planet-destroying ball of death straight to the face. Since his introduction, Bardock has been explored in many interesting ways.
