Super Dragon Ball Heroes might not move the main Shonen story forward, but it offers fans some real big moments that otherwise might never take place in the main series. With the latest episode arriving online, a father/son fight has unfurled that sees Bardock fight against Goku, with the former employing a Super Saiyan 3 transformation and the latter relying on his Ultra Instinct transformation. As the Ultra God Mission continues, expect plenty more surprises for the Z-Fighters.

Dragon Ball Heroes is a funny side-story, allowing for fights, encounters, and transformations that would most likely never make their way to the main story of the series. One such comeback has been Bardock, the father of Goku, who has appeared at certain times throughout the spin-off as the rules of time and death don’t apply much to the heroes and villains of Heroes. In the latest arc, the Ultra God Mission, Bardock is now in the employ of the rogue Kaioshin looking to rule over time itself and can access the power of Super Saiyan 3 to fight against none other than his own son.

The latest episode of Super Dragon Ball Heroes can be seen below, which not only features the father and son Saiyans fighting against one another but also sees some hilarious moments involving Yamcha and a new lady love that has an eye for the weakest member of the Z-Fighters:

A serious strength of Super Dragon Ball Heroes has been its ability to create unique scenarios with characters that haven’t been animated for quite some time, with not just Bardock, but the Ultra God Mission also giving us a new take on Future Gohan. The son of Goku from an alternate timeline fought against Future Trunks in a recent episode, as this Gohan had a very different series of events take place in his life, setting him on a path wherein the Dark Dragon Balls would be his only hope for a bright future. 

Do you think we’ll ever see Goku and Bardock fight proper in Dragon Ball Super? What’s been your favorite character comeback that only took place in Heroes?
