Talk:Bardock/Archive 1

message: Bardock appeared in the manga. Volume 10 accd. to Viz. Check it out to get the chapter number, or I can do it later. In the manga, he's 'Burdock' though. And don't forget his son Raditz...
in the anime, didn't vegeta once say that bardock was a scientist and invented the technique of creating a false full moon? Xunflash 22:01, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

message: I think the article name should be changed to Burdock instead of Bardock.  Not only does the translated manga use the Burdock spelling, but the Japanese pronouncation (baadaku) is literally how you pronounced the vegetable, burdock.  Bardock was just FUNimation's way of obscuring the name pun (such as naming Lunch, "Launch," Freeza, "Frieza," Coola, "Cooler," ect).
Any thoughts?

replies: text: Well, his name is heard clearly as "Badakku", and not "Budakku". Granted, it's not much of a reason, but it's something. Is kind of difficult to decide how clear the pun is supposed to be. But I'm hesitant to use the Viz translation just because it's Viz - they also call Boo "Djinn" instead of "Majin". Viz seems to like translating names that don't need translation. -- DesireCampbell 00:25, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Some user moved Bardock to Burdock without waiting for a vote. I moved it back to Bardock.--SUITWhat!? 42 17:29, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

text: If you'd like to propose a move from Bardock to Burdock (Dragon Ball), I recommend following the procedure laid out at Wikipedia:Requested moves, which involves creating a listing there, and setting up a 5-day survey at the bottom of this talk page.  Then nobody can complain about there not being a discussion, and after 5 days, we should have an answer. -GTBacchus(talk) 21:15, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I've been watching the japanese version of DBZ Uncut, and Vegeta never said that Burdock created the false moon. He said something along the lines that "only a few gifted saiyans have this ability". I think that the reference of Burdock creating the false moon, must have just been dialogue that FUNIMATION added in the dubbed american version of DBZ.
- That whole business about Goku's father inventing a false moon is an invention of the early FUNimation dub. What Vegeta actually says is that a saiyan who collects enough bruits rays can actually create an artificial moon. The bruits waves is absorbed through the eyes and sets off a gland in the saiyan's tail. That is what triggers the oozaru form.

It was. Bardock was not a "brilliant scientist." Onikage725 21:01, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  About Burdock inventing the false moon. 

message: the line "He is the first character portrayed in a manga that was actually introduced in anime filler." should probably be "...in the manga...". I don't know of any other character in any other anime that was introduced first in the anime and then in the original manga, but saying Bardock's the first in a manga makes it sound like he's the first one ever. -- DesireCampbell 12:33, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
