What would you make Bardack see in his visions?

[Cold Skin]

With the original TV special, the staff was limited to the existing material and information from back then to create visions for Bardack, which stopped at the fact that Goku would face Freeza, not even showing the proper form Freeza would have at this moment for example.

With newer materials like games, developers had some fun adding extra visions of the future to the original Bardack.
Xenoverse 2 showed him the fight between Super Saiyan Blue Goku and Golden Freeza if I remember well.
Kakarot showed him Goku going Super Saiyan and thus becoming the legendary warrior.

What about you? If you had to decide for a new game, movie or remake, what would you make Bardack see in his visions nowadays? Would you just leave them as they were? Would you just update them to be more accurate to the later scenes of Goku VS Freeza? Would you go beyond the original visions like the latest games did?

[Scientist Fu]

That's pretty interesting actually. I'd add Goku's family, wife and children to show how happy Goku is, and then we see Goku vs Frieza's final form on Namek.

[Grimlock]

I would keep the Dragon Ball visions, but as for the Dragon Ball Z ones:

• Fight with Raditz.
• Fight with Freeza / Goku transforming into Super Saiyan.
• Goku and Gohan talking.

I'd also throw in some visions containing "slice of life" moments, so that Bardock knows Goku is also having a good time and that his decision to send him to Earth wasn't wrong. The "Goku and Gohan talking" one is from just before Cell's fight, so that Bardock learns he'll have a grandson (sorry, Goten!). I would also give Bardock visions of Raditz too... May be the only way for us get a glimpse of Raditz' childhood and whatnot.

Bardock's very last vision may or may not be a sillhouette of him with a strange white mask or becoming a legendary Saiyan...

(And for the "lulz"... • Fight with Jiren / Goku and Freeza teaming up).

[Yuji]

Goku and Freeza beating Jiren.

But in all seriousness, the original scenes are fine. The fact that they're not 1:1 is cool because I've never been a fan of "child of prophecy" or "destiny" storylines and this gives enough of a leeway to make the argument the future is malleable or Bardock is just schizophrenic, while also being confined to the Namek arc. I'm also not a fan of Bardock being continuously used - it's a trait of modern Shounen nonsense that the protagonist's father has to be super special. Dragon Ball doesn't need that.

For shits and giggles I'd have Bardock see visions of upcoming Toei/Bandai properties that have fuck all to do with Dragon Ball

[Cure Dragon 255]

Bardock was a Precure fan before it was cool aka before it even existed.

Don't forget about the upcoming Toriyama/Toyotaro properties too.

Though I don't know which ones I would truly proceed to add in the end, I would consider adding...

- Goku and Raditz fighting and even being killed. That would beg some questions for Bardack, especially if he also see visions of Goku being older with his sons growing up over years, when he just saw him die.

- Goku being a Super Saiyan against Freeza and finishing him off on Namek.

- All Saiyans eating together, for example during the 25th Tenkaichi Budokai, showing that a bunch of Saiyans are still alive and well years later, among whom he can see his son, grand sons and the prince himself.

- Goku and Freeza teaming up against Jiren, that's sure to bring up some questions as to what's going on in Bardack's mind.

- Goku and Vegeta meeting Cabba and mentionning Sadala. Just like the Cabba's clothes made Vegeta react, it could also make Bardack wonder why he's seeing an old-school young Saiyan with his son and prince Vegeta.

- Goku, Vegeta and Broly training, even more Saiyans having survived and getting along with his son.

- Super Saiyan Blue against Golden Freeza, so that he wonders why they look like that, thinking he didn't even know either side had such possible appearances (the poor Saiyan doesn't even know about Freeza's real form).

- Visions of baby Pan with Goku, so that he sees the Saiyan legacy going even further, specifically the moment with Goku saying "no, I'm not your daddy, I'm your grandpa, okay? Your grandpa!"

[Kaboom]

A vision of his son Kakarrot, wielding the mightiest and most "peak Saiyan" form ever, beating up the last of the Tsufrians, who is inhabiting the body of the stuck-up Prince Vegeta, on a recreated Planet Vegeta.

Bardock couldn't possibly be a prouder papa.

[JulieYBM]

I would have Bardock see visions of Dragon Ball Super: Broli, where he was a better father and more decent person, and thus be forced to die knowing he wasted his life not really trying to evolve past the life expected of him by Saiyan society.

Bardock couldn't possibly be a prouder papa.

A vision of Goku rising up with a giant ball, tanking all hits from his opponent like it's nothing, then leaving with a Red-Eyes Green Dragon (ATK /? / DEF /?) while wondering:

Is he dead?

A confused papa in the face of death.

specifically the moment with Goku saying "no, I'm not your daddy, I'm your grandpa, okay? Your grandpa!"

About that... (Damn, that was twelve years ago. How do I even remember this?).

[Cipher]

The Goku-Freeza team-up.

This. I'm not a fan of prophecy and fate in storytelling unless it will ultimately be a story about freewill. I'm also not a fan of "the son is special so the father was special".

OH WOW. This one's a winner.
