This
Special begins with a scene of Planet Vegeta, The Narrarator
explains that a boy has just been born. A Saiyan explains
that his name is Kakarot and he is the son of a Saiyan named
Bardock, who is a low level Saiyan. This means that
Kakarot is also a low level Saiyan with little potential and
is going to have to be sent to a distant planet.
The
scene now switches to a planet called Kanassa where there are
Oozaru's shown destroying the natives there. Now a scene
is shown with some Saiyans, Bardock Toma and I'm not sure if
the other 3 had their names mentioned. We learn that
Bardock does not care for his son at all and that Freeza
wanted to take over Kanassa because there is a special
force that enables people to see into the future and gain
psychic abilities. In this scene a survivor of the
Kanassa planet comes up and attacks Bardock right in the back
of his neck. Toma and one of the other Saiyans help
Bardock by firing at the Kanassa alien. For some reason the
alien now has a white glow over him and says this to Bardock:
"Listen I gave you the power to see into the future, you
should be able to see the destiny of you and your descendants.
I'll tell you know that you only have a cursed future.
Like my people you are destined to become extinct.
Suffer from seeing your people's future" and then he
starts laughing. Right then Bardock fires at him,
destroying the race of Kanassians (I guess that's what they
are called just like Namekians and Namek) and right there
Bardock falls over.
The
scene now switches to planet Vegeta where a young Vegeta is
training against Saibamen, and he beets them all. This
surprises some alien type people but does not surprise Nappa
(HE HAS HAIR!). One of the alien type people is thinking what
Vegeta will become when he is older if he has this high of a
power level now. After Vegeta's training he and Nappa
are walking down a hall where Vegeta plans to ask Freeza to go
"occupy" (which means destroying all life forms
there) the next planet he is going to destroy.
Nappa says "again" and Vegeta says "is that a
problem" and then Nappa says "no..it's not"
(man this attitude of Nappa being scared of Vegeta goes a long
way, all the way to the Saiyan saga!)
Now
we are in Freeza's ship where Zarbon and Dodoria are hanging
out. Zarbon tells Freeza that he has received a report
of Planet Kanassa being occupied and that it is a month
earlier than scheduled and that it was done by some nameless
low level Saiyans. Zarbon explains that these Saiyans
are weak when they are alone but indestructible when together
and worries about them teaming up to destroy Freeza.
Right then Vegeta walks in and says he is here to inform
Freeza that he is going to go occupy the next planet.
Zarbon and Dodoria tell him to leave, but to their surprise
Freeza tells Vegeta to "go and do a good job."
Back
at planet Vegeta Bardock is being healed in one of those recuperation
pods. Toma asks how he is doing and finds out that
physically he is perfect but mentally he has different brain
waves so he decides for the gang to go without him this time.
They are going to occupy the Planet Meet. Now a scene is
shown of baby Kakarot and he is crying. Somehow when
Goku starts to cry Bardock gets a vision of Planet Vegeta
exploding. He now sees visions of a young Goku meeting
Grandpa Gohan and Bulma, Master Roshi and Krillan and a scene
of him fighting Piccolo-Daimou and a grown up Goku, fighting
Piccolo. This is when Bardock wakes up. He asks
where Toma and the others are and this alien guy tells him
that they are gone to planet Meet, under Freeza's orders.
Right then Bardock decides to go off to the planet Meet swell
and before he lives he sees his son crying and has another
vision of Planet Vegeta blowing up.
On
planet Meet a scene is shown of Toma and the others getting
beaten up by Freeza's men. When Toma asks Dodoria why
they are doing this they say it is because they are under
Freeza's orders. When Bardock arrives at planet Meet he sees
all the dead people of the planet, and when he gets a reading
on his scouter he sea's that they are still working hard.
He sees all of his fellow Saiyan friends lying half dead and
Toma explains that Freeza backstabbed them. This makes
Bardock very angry to see Toma and the others dying like this
for no reason at all. He takes his white bandana and wipes all
the blood of his friends on it (this is how it turns red.)
He gets very mad and when Freeza's men come he puts up a good
fight and kills them all. During the fight he had
another vision of Goku fighting Vegeta and doing a Kaio-Ken
power up. After the fight Dodoria comes out of nowhere
and when Bardock says "why, why us." Dodoria
finds out he is ordered to go back to base because Freeza and
the gang are heading towards planet Vegeta. Bardock gets
up and flies to Planet Vegeta, and on his way he sees Kakarot
a.k.a. Goku being sent to another planet.
Back
at Freeza's ship Dodoria sees he's messed up and that Bardock
was left alive and now is flying back to Planet Vegeta.
Once he gets there he realizes Kakarot was sent to Earth and
realizes his visions are all going to come true. He has
more visions of Goku. Bardock tries to tell everyone
that Freeza is going to blow up the planet but nobody believes
him and all the Saiyans laugh at him. On his way outside
to try and stop Freeza he has a vision of Goku and Freeza face
to face on Namek. Freeza's ship arrives and Bardock
flies up to Freeza's spaceship and hundreds maybe even
thousands of Freeza's men try to stop him but nothing can hold
this enraged Saiyan back When Freeza comes out of the
ship Bardock thinks this will change everything and he tries
firing at Freeza but Freeza creates that very famous ball of
energy and blows up the whole planet, killing all the Saiyans,
Bardock and even thousands of his own men.
Before
Bardock dies he sees Goku in front of Freeza one more time and
yells: Kakarot!!!! Goku is shown one more time and he hears
Bardock saying "Kakarot.....Carry out the mission of your
father, get revenge for Saiyans and planet Vegeta."
One
last scene of young Vegeta is shown and someone tells him
planet Vegeta has blown up and he doesn't even care. He
finished occupying his planet and needs tougher ones even
though thousands of dead bodies are shown. Now a scene
is shown of baby Goku on Earth and Grandpa Gohan finding him
and naming him Goku, Son Goku.
