Dragon Ball Super Fans Are In Uproar Over Major Bardock Reveals in Latest Manga Chapter

By Kofi Outlaw

Dragon Ball Super manga Chapter 77 took fans on a trip back through history, to the pivotal genocide that took place on the Planet Cereal. It was Freeza and his Saiyan Great Ape bruisers that wiped out the Cerealians - Goku finally learns that it was his father Bardock that broke with ranks and ensured that one Cerealian (Graonlah) and one elderly Namekian (Monaito) survived the massacre. Bardock's acts of heroism are a big retcon for the Dragon Ball franchise, as the character has previously been depicted as one of Freeza's loyal soldiers - up until his Planet Vegeta was on Freeza's chopping block. 

After Dragon Ball Super Chapter 77, Bardock has officially been repositioned as a major anti-hero and the clear source of Goku's heroic nature. However, not all Dragon Ball fans are loving the changes to Bardock's story and character in Dragon Ball Super...
