WATCH DRAGON BALL Z BROLY THE LEGENDARY SUPER SAIYAN REDUB TV
In Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru's original character design, Bardock had a longer scar, his hair was more spiked (similar to Vegeta's hair), his Battle Armor was a lighter shade of green, and it had three or four flaps at the waist, and did not wear the long-legged jumpsuit he has in Akira Toriyama's final design for the 1990 TV special. His tail is also draped more loosely around his hips. He also has an additional thin scar running horizontally across his right bicep. The scar on his check is smoother and x-shaped. In Dragon Ball Minus: The Departure of the Fated Child, Bardock wears a beige Battle Armor with shoulder pads and boots without the red shin guards, blue armbandsĀ instead of red has no headband of any kind. Later, Bardock adopts Tora's blood-soaked armband as a headband when he fights Team Dodoria on Planet Meat, which he retains when he attempts to kill Frieza. He wears a dark blue and green Battle Armor, dark blue combat pants, long red armbands with matching leg warmers, a green Scouter on his left eye, and black and green boots.
Like most Universe 7 Saiyans, he has a long prehensile tail with brown fur which generally keeps secured around his waist akin to a belt. Arguably his most distinctive trait is the long thick rough scar running down his left cheek. Unlike his younger son, he has a tanner skin-tone and his eyes are more defined and sterner, much like his elder son. His hair also stands up in the front with five spikes and four in the back. His hair is unkempt with three bangs hanging to the right of his forehead and two hanging to the left. As noted by Raditz and Frieza, Bardock bearsĀ a striking resemblance to Goku: he is a tall man of muscular built with black hair.
