The eponymous Saiyan in Dragon Ball Z's Bardock: The Father of GokuВ would have never found such redemption. He sees in them his wife and son Kakarot. When he first lays eyes on the cowering figures of Granolah and his mother during the Cerealian massacre, he doesn't see two targets he must kill. It wasn't until he hit his head that Goku became the kind-hearted and pure character heВ is now an outside force literally had to knock the evil out of him first before he could become a hero.В Meanwhile, Bardock changes for the better on his own in Dragon Ball Super's interpretation of him. Upon his arrival to Earth, he was a destructive child who relished in chaos and actively endeavored to create as much mayhem as possible. Even Goku wasn't pure-hearted at the beginning of Dragon Ball. There might well have been because Saiyans are known to be natural-born killers who express no remorse regardless of whom they murder. Even Bardock believes there has to be something wrong with him. It's remarkable that Bardock risks his life to spare his enemies.

When they confront Bardock, the Saiyan initially tries to talk his way out of killing them but is forced to fight against his former allies after they kill Granolah's mother. Bardock later has to jump through even more hoops for his enemies when Frieza's business partners, the Heeters, suddenly arrive on the planet and become aware of Bardock and his companions. The Saiyan first lies to his fellow comrades that he planned on staying behind after the genocide to ensure there were no survivors, when he really uses that time to find someone who can provide them shelter: the Namekian Monaito.

All of Goku and Vegeta's attempts to quell the Cerealian's rage fail horribly, but Monaito at least temporarily stops Granolah's rampage inВ chapter 77 of Dragon Ball SuperВ when he explains how Goku's father Bardock actually saved both of them, a truth Monaito wants Granolah to know before he inadvertently murders the son of his savior. Before the epic confrontation, Granolah learns that powerful Saiyans known as Goku and Vegeta exist and orchestrates their demise just on the basisВ of their race, even though neither of them were old enough to participate in his people's murder.
