What If the SAIYANS listened to BARDOCK? | Dragon Ball Z

What If Bardock started a rebellion?

Everyone remembers the original Bardock special right? The one that Toriyama liked a lot, he gave a nod to in the manga, and even said it was canon until he decided to make Dragon Ball Minus? You know the old Bardock who can see the future of his people but is too late to do anything about it and even if he wasn’t he can’t convince the Saiyans to join him? Okay but hear me out, what if Bardock DID convince the Saiyans? What If Bardock’s rebellion actually happened?
So here we are, Bardock is badly wounded from his fight with Dodoria and he makes his way to the bar the Saiyans are hanging out at. I don't think this is supposed to be all of the Saiyans, but since Toriyama says not many Saiyans are alive at any one point this is still a decent amount of them. Tangent aside, Bardock tells the Saiyans what’s happening, the death of his team, the attack of Dodoria, and Freeza’s plan for Saiyan annihilation. Unlike the original, the Saiyans actually believe him. Freeza’s looming ship already caused enough concern among them, but Bardock - a Saiyan warrior with a power near 10,000 - being so badly beaten could only be done by one of Freeza’s elite men.
Now this is where our setting makes the biggest difference. If we knew for sure that Bardock tried to make a rebellion in the Dragon Ball Minus version of events that’d give us a month between Bardock sending Goku to Earth and Freeza destroying the planet. However, the Bardock Special is far faster paced.
Find out what happens in the video!

:) Nice that you kept it like that cause the whole point of the future sight is that he sees his own bleak future so it was bound to be like that.
But, how did the combined Great ape beam become 50 mil? cause great ape is just 10x amp so only if we assume there were 500 bardock level fighters would be beam reach that level. i kinda see that as a stretch:p

[KewlCrayon]

Their best chance would've been to flee and to start a guerilla rebellion, but knowing how stubborn and prideful the Saiyans are, they would've chosen death and fought to their last.

[mystic_bladez]

I believe this is the most accurate variation of this story. Most scenarios have frieza lower his guard, and be killed off. If he was scared of the super saiyan legend he wouldn’t lower his guard

[alexzero]

Wow, this actually a good scenario, not like " Bardock just wins". I believe that rebellion of Sayan army would give more opportunities to escape the planet, so there would be More Sayian survivors.

[BardockSkywalker]

I like the direction this went, it just shows how powerful Frieza truly is.

If this actually happened, i can see Frieza mentioning to Goku how this one guy managed to form a rather potent rebellion against him before he destroyed the planet. Of course, Goku wouldn't care all that much about it, but it's still something that i think warrants mention

[johnquach]

In the end, the future refused to change...

[Goatcha_M]

The one problem is that most saiyans are reduced to pure destructive instinct on their Oozaru form.
Only Super Elites, and maybe elites retain their minds while transformed.

[sonokawaray]

So many things would have to go right for the Saiyans to win here, and yeah, unfortunately almost any scenario that doesn't involve them making a tactical retreat likely ends with Frieza just powering up and stomping them in an instant. Still, this feels like a cool alternative to how the Saiyans would have met their end --- not caught off guard in a moment of complacency, but going down swinging in a courageous last stand. I like it.

[E-]

I love that you kept this as realistic as possible. You didn’t have bardock “change the future” because no matter what, it was destined to happen. Really good video, can’t wait for future projects.

[dannylopez]

This is the exact scenario I always envisioned if the Sayians did actually try to rebel that day.

You told it well and great as always Carthu.

[Trap]

Yeah the problem here is Frieza can transform, and their is nothing the Saiyans can do to stop Frieza here. But at least the Saiyans went out fighting. Anyways another really good one-shot what if, and looking forward to your next video soon.

What if suggestion:
What if Goku & Tarble were sent to Earth?

[Peanutpatch]

This was really good. I much prefer this to scenarios where bardock somehow wins despite being SO below frieza. It's a what if and people can do what they want, but I just find something like this much more interesting. It could also mean that frieza might actually decide to stay in his final form at 1-10% power at al times now, just to be safe. Changing the namek saga a lot.

[serketenglish]

Carthu's Frieza voice is too good! Gosh darn it!

[dragonknight]

I think this is more of the canon version than anything. The Saiyans' Final Stand. It's way more impressive and would work better as actual canon. Kudos Carthu!

[zsnako]

Ending is heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time.

[fang]

This was fantastic, great work!
Shoutout to the editor as well, they also did a great job!

[johnathantownsend]

I miss the whole bardock being able to see the future thing

[barringtonjohnson]

I love this hypothetical. I can see it being stretched out in the sense of Frieza already knew of their plan cause of Vegeta or something like that

[furiousgamerxz]

What If Request. What if Gohan drank the Ultra Divine Water before or after entering the Time Chamber with Goku, What if Goku was the first "evolved" Saiyan (like the Universe 6 Saiyan's who are born without a tail and have more potential), What if Kami regained his youth when King Piccolo did, What if Elder Guru fused with Kami before he died, What if Bulma found Androids 13, 14 and 15 used their parts to upgrade Android 16.

[NickShizukesa]

You are killing this Frieza impression
