[What-If 16] Goku VS "Bardock".

[@Hyourinjutsu]

Hey guys! Hope you enjoyed this surprise [What-If]! You can clearly notice I made this animation a little different than the rest with few explanations (unlike its predecessors), I fully trust that the viewer can deduce the missing pieces in this match-up! There are a lot of hints throughout the animation, some of which I see many had commented! 😊 I am one person making these animations, feel free to follow me on Patreon: www.patreon.com/hyourinjutsu Thank you and cheers, every kind of support is appreciated!

I like how “Bardock” talks about wanting a good fight, this likely means that throughout his time in a saiyans body he was affected similarly to Goku Black which also explains why he trained in the first place with Bardocks body.

goku namek has a power of 90.000 and he used kaioken 20x so his power rose to 1.800.000 enough to surpass base ginyu, so "bardock" must be 1.500.000 in base form and 75,000,000 in super saiyan

[@illusions-2691]

Even if short, it was really sweet and makes me wonder about its story. Throughout the fight it somewhat seemed like Ginyu sort of hated trying to finish off goku/kill him, but had to knowing what his intentions were to find the dragon balls and finish him off. It was also cool not only did you mix in Jeice's moves, but you could tell it was Ginyu by his graceful/flashy movement both in the air and by fighting. Mixed with bardocks strong and focused style with it. I think personally while Ginyu took over Bardocks body, he has somewhat of his thought process, as Ginyu is usually Energetic/Uproarious this one seems more Serious and Calm, maybe hinting that his training with the body had allowed him to tap further into Bardocks mind, thus allowing him to achieve super saiyan and such. Either that or I'm thinking too deep into this :X

Yea, now i undestand why in what if 4 goku never came to save vegeta

[@wasifchowdhury2004]

@@nachonaitor5535 No it was actually because Goku's healing tank thing was destroyed before he recovered

[@near5352]

"This body" THAT WAS FREAKING CAPTAIN GINYU?! The last OST confirm that

[@clickboat4790]

The title says “Bardock” in quotation marks, + he said ‘lord frieza, which leads me to believe he’s ginyu

[@Mixedplayers]

Amazing work of art and great choice of OST!

[@tibetansandfox5382]

Wow xD this was a supriseed didn't expect an animation this early

[@spaghettimaster9368]

Man watching this with the added context of the powerscaling vid is nuts, once Goku went beyond 20 his organs literally started burning.

[@skyslashnova4308]

its always infuriating seeing people watch this video and say "Goku can't go beyond x20" that's the point! he went further and he started combusting. he literally started to collapse just after getting hit twice by "bardock"

[@uival3524]

So im assuming Ginyu took Bardocks body from what Bardock said after beating Goku well damn. Thank you for making amazing animations keep it up Hyourinjutsu 👍

[@demaunix2723]

3:36 I *FELT* that!

[@ShadowKnux372]

After noting the quotation marks and seeing what Saga it took place in, it was easy to call the twist and gave me suspicions, especially with the length of the video, how it was going to go. I'm not the biggest fan of watching villain-victory AUs unfold, but the quality of your stuff is always top-notch, so even a short-n-bittersweet fight like this was good from start to finish, keep up the great work on these animations!

I expected more of a dream sequence fight but this is WAY cooler.

[@MasterNabber]

1:06 Goku went super saiyan briefly here with the last seconds of his life and this is a timeline where Ginyu got Bardocks body somehow.

[@NumaPuma42]

It took me a moment to realize that was GINYU in Bardocks body, holy heccy

[@mikununi-vers]

This surprise hit me hard, love these animations

[@aliibra5326]

Damn I kinda wanna see an alternate ending where “Bardock” is too late to stop goku from fully powering up at the end

[@dotjpg3985]

Unrivaled animation as always. Can't wait to see more!

[@nnnovacaineee]

Goku: something's off about this Saiyan *YEA, YOU GUYS LITERALLY ARE IDENTICAL*

[@HawkBreland]

bro wtf is this animation?! ITS SO GOOD, and I see those FighterZ references and I dig it. again, bro, this is absolutely stellar and stunning and stupendous and stuff. this is so dope, good stuff.

[@socialguariroba3267]

Another masterpiece of our What If artist!❤️

[@daniellee7014]

Your animation is getting better than ever before, excellent.

[@AndreSantos-kr3yu]

Great animation, as always! It's an interesting What-if, that, given the background we now have about Saiyans, would actually be a good decision for Ginyu to make. But, realistically, I do not think he would have made it. His original body was stronger than Bardock's and Saiyans were viewed as low-class warriors anyway. Really cool twist, though!

[@roxojones]

maybe in this timeline he didn't find his purple body and decided to use Bardock's body (since it's canon now that the purple body he uses is not his original body)

[@danielgonzalez-vm5lj]

​@@roxojones i just assumed bardock went ssj and fought Freezer but using his stronger forms he thought it over and supresed bardock called ginyu and had them change bodies then killed bardock

[@draxae.7451]

For a moment, I thought I’d have to bring out my theorist glasses and write for a moment. Hyourjn, knew I would do it like before.

[@TheOrionApex]

I really admire the style of fighting given to Bardock. Such an analytical, brutal style

[@GOKU-px7qd]

Damn.... My mind is blown on how great what if you have made

[@R.M.CProductions]

I love how in the title its "Bardock" in quotations.

[@__-lu3xy]

ok it took me a hot minute to figure out why he was saying stuff that bardock normally wouldnt say, like "lord frieza" and other stuff like the purple subs and usually when it comes to bardock 99% of the time in scenarios like this he figures out Goku is his son. But the main factor that should've popped out to me was the clearly obvious quotation marks around Bardocks name lol

[@RockerDefeater]

Wow,l didn’t even realize that Captain Ginyu in Bardock’s body until the very end! That’s a clever twist! One question though : How did Ginyu had access to Bardock’s Super Sayian Form? I thought that You need to be filled with rage to become one. Other than that,that was a very brutal fight!

[@SpammytheHedgehog]

In the end, Bardock had no idea Kakarot was his son.

[@SonGoku-po8wc]

that was ginyu in bardocks body

[@TheDarkMewtwo996]

@@SonGoku-po8wc I realized this reading at the comments but where exactly did you guys figure out it was Ginyu? I mean the first clue is that Bardock didn't recognize his son but.. What gives?
