And , to everyone ’s surprisal , Bardock more than hold his own , despite using a much - maligned transformation : Super Saiyan 3 .
In chapter # 8 ofSuper Dragon Ball Heroes : Ultra God Mission , a manga based on the vane serial of the same name , which is in twist based on a pop video game , Bardock ( in his persona as the " Warrior in Black " ) find himself battling against Jiren , before Goku switches in . Goku transform into his Super Saiyan 3form in ordering to rival Bardock ’s current body politic , but speedily bring in that despite using the same shift , his opponent is league forrader in damage of raw major power .

Bardock’s Potential May Well Have Exceeded Even Goku’s
Super Dragon Ball Heroesis not considered canonical to the mainDragon Ballstoryline . While the canonic Bardock never really had the chance to obtain the highest tiers of Super Saiyan , his clock time - move twin proves that he ’s arrest talent when it comes to transforming . Goku does n’t realize that he ’s combat against his own Father-God , but is , of grade , give it his all , as always . Goku does finally manage to defeat Bardock ’s Super Saiyan 3 with Ultra Instinct , but it ’s still a difficult fight for him , even with a form that is much more powerful . This suggests thatBardock has at least the grade of aptitude for Super Saiyan transformations as Goku , and quite belike a much bang-up story .
Super Saiyan 3 is well known for being an underused transformation , as it wipe out Department of Energy at a speedy charge per unit . For Bardock to be able to asseverate the transmutation for so long , and at a higher power level than Goku , he must have some tremendous energy reserves at his disposal . If given the chance to attain high - level transmutation like Super Saiyan God / Blue , or Ultra Instinct , Bardock might be capable to overpower even Goku , making himarguably the secure Saiyan in the series . Clearly , despite being categorized as a " modest course warrior , " Bardock had some exceptionally good factor , at least when it comes to Saiyan transformation , andBardock ’s recent return inDragon Ball Superproved this .
Unfortunately , despite his popularity , Bardock is unbelievable to ever be granted access to the top - tier transformation that Goku is using , so a direct equivalence may not be possible . Still , Goku acknowledging that Bardock ’s Super Saiyan 3 is superior in exponent is significant , and if that increase in might is relative , there ’s no reason it would n’t interpret to other forms as well , with enough training and command of the transformation . It may be thatBardock , not Goku , has the greatest potential of any Saiyan inDragon Ballif only he had the chance to achieve it .
