Bardock the Father of Goku (Tatta Hitori no Saishuu Kessen: "Lonely Final Battle," 1990) and The History of Trunks (Zebbo he no Hankou!! Nokosareta Chou-Senshi Gohan to Torunkusu: "Resist Despair!! The Ultimate Surviving Fighters: Gohan and Trunks," 1993) were the first and second Dragon Ball Z TV specials. The programs present the back stories of later adventures. Bardock was one of the Saiyans Frieza used as mercenaries to conquer other worlds. But Frieza and his lieutenant Doodoria feared the Saiyans might eventually become strong enough to threaten them. Doodoria murdered Bardock's squadron; Frieza destroyed the Saiyan planet. Vegeta, Nappa and Goku (né Kakarot) were the only survivors. Before he was killed, Bardock was cursed with the ability to see the future, including his own brutal death. But that psychic power also enabled Bardock to see that his infant son would grow up to destroy the monstrous Frieza. The History of Trunks is set further in the future: the androids 17 and 18 that Dr. Gero created are ravaging the Earth. As Goku died of a heart ailment several years earlier, no one can defeat them, not even Gohan. Trunks, the son of Vegeta and Bulma, fights 17 and 18, but loses ignominiously. Only one hero can save the world: Trunks launches the time machine Bulma invented to take medicine back to Goku that will save his life and alter the course of history. Bardock the Father of Goku and The History of Trunks will appeal most strongly to viewers already familiar with the Dragon Ball saga. (Rated TV PG: violence, nudity) --Charles Solomon

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - ...
its a sick movie no need to debate it. but although its so good it doesnt list the music in the history of trunks or bardock father of goku, so i ask you if they know what music is in the movies. i also know the band saliva - rockstar is in bardock but thats it. help would help in my search for the rest . later



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Spin off's of the past
This dvd set is basicly two DBZ movies, one about Goku's dad Bardock, and one about Trunks and his childhood in "his" future until he changed it. Overall it's two pretty good movies.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Great specials, though disappointed with the DVD treatment
In recent years, FUNimation, who has begun to release countless anime titles spanning various genres, has gone back to the franchise that made them big - Dragon Ball Z. They have gone back and begun releasing the series and the films in inexpensive season sets and double features.

This double feature combines the two television specials of the Z series - Bardock: The Father of Goku, and The History of Trunks.

Bardock: The Father of Goku takes place around the time Kakarotto ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - DBZ Double Feature History of Trunks/Bardock The father of Goku
I like this item. The Androids were far more brutal than in the timeline which Trunks isn't familiar with.
At the start of the year i brought the 'Bardock the father of Goku' on dvd. It had alot of trailers about Cell, Androids,History of Trunks and brief history of Dragonball and in Dragonball Z up to the Android saga. I expected those to be on the digital enhanced steelbook copy.
I like the movies and will buy the other ones that come out.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - For DBZ fans
History of Trunks is a great movie all around, a good tragedy ending in hope (or HOPE!! if you know what I mean). Bardock however seems to have been a subpar dub. I watched both and the details that were omitted or changed in his lines are quite unnecessary. This includes details about him talking about his son (changed to something unrelated like 'Oh I better not waste time'). That's coming from a long time fan of the dub, they just botched this one up. But the original is still there, so it gets credit ... Read More
