Film Appearances
Bardock - The Father of Goku
Cranbo and his team confronted Bardock after he arrived. They taunted him on the death of his friends and tell him that his presence wouldn't have made a difference. Enraged, Bardock agreed that he should have been there before charged at them and easily defeat most of the members using his tactical skill.
Cranbo and his surviving partner realized they underestimated the Saiyan but Cranbo asserted they can handle this. The two soon overpowered Bardock when he was distracted by his foresight with Cranbo landing vicious. However, Cranbo then tried to impale Bardock in the gut, although Bardock countered by flipping, causing him to accidentally impale his partner instead. Soon, Bardock is able to break free and kills both of them with a Full Power Energy Wave as a revenge for his friends.
