Story
The Story starts where Dragon Ball Z: Bardock – The Father of Goku left off, with Bardock fighting against Freeza in an attempt to save his home planet Vegeta. He fails, as Freeza destroys the planet, killing all Saiyans on it - seemingly including Bardock. However, somehow he survived the Blast and wakes up in a little village house. A purple colored creature enters the room and introduces himself as Ipana. He also tells Bardock that he is on the planet Plant, which - as the confused Bardock recalls - was the former name of the planet Vegeta. Suddenly the village is attacked by the henchmen of the pirate Chilled, which Bardock easily defeats, giving him the gratitude of the villagers. He ignores their thanks and states that he doesn't care if they lived or died and flies away into a nearby cave - to recover. Doctor Ipana's son Berry comes and brings him food. At first he yells him to go away, but soon they form somewhat of a friendship as Berry keeps bringing him food.
After a while Chilled comes to find out what happened to his henchmen. The people tell him that a man called Bardock rescued them. Berry sees this and quickly runs to Bardock, telling him that there are people looking for him. After they found out what they came for, Chilled and his henchmen start attacking the villagers. At first, Bardock refuses to save the villagers, but after Berry begs him, he flies to the village and saves Ipana, who was going to be killed by Chilled. Due to the resemblance, Bardock at first mistakes Chilled for Freeza and attacks him angrily. After a short fight he realizes his mistake and pieces together that he must be in the past and Chilled is in fact an ancestor of Freeza. Chilled keeps beating Bardock over whom he clearly has an advantage. But after Chilled hit Berry, Bardock becomes angry and thinks of all the people he failed to save, which makes him turn into a Super Saiyan. Chilled laughs and says that changing hair into blonde doesn't do anything and attacks Bardock with his blasts which have no affect on Bardock anymore. He asks who he is, to which Bardock replies that he is just a Saiyan. Chilled launches a wave at Bardock, but is ultimately defeated by a Final Spirit Cannon which sends the mortally wounded Chilled into outer space. After saving the village Bardock walks away into the sunset, not realizing that he just started the legend of the Super Saiyan. The dying Chilled tells his henchmen to warn his family about the Saiyans, which explains Freeza's fear of them.
