Added DiffLines:

* BrokenAesop: At least, broken theme. The story of Bardock is that of a low-class Saiyan standing up face to face against the emperor, Freeza. The story doesn't treat Bardock as anything but "a nameless Saiyan" not worth talking about, which is what fuels the {{tragedy}}. Despite this, the special felt the need to give Bardock a power level of ten thousand, twice the one the elite warrior Nappa has in the Saiyan saga, turning the character from simple {{mook}} to a sort of prodigy.

* ToughActToFollow: The TV special is considered one of the best prequel stories ever made, which includes the tragedy of Bardock, who couldn't defeat Freiza, but knows that his second son would defeat him some day. Other interpretations of the television special is often considered inferior to this one because they didn't have the drama and weight of the original, which included ''Dragon Ball Minus''. Even the prologue of ''Anime/DragonBallSuperBroly'' is seen in the same light, and the only saving grace is that it shows Bardock trying to stop Frieza and fails.

* SugarWiki/SuperlativeDubbing: A character-specific example. In the original Japanese and Latin American Spanish version, Bardock shares the same voice with Goku. The voice acting for Bardock in the English dubs scrap that and casted ''Krillin's'' voice actor, however, and gave him a more unique voice that fit his character. The choice is actually quite popular, [[SubbingVersusDubbing even among haters of the English dub.]]
