Dragon Ball Super gave Goku the chance to get to know his father Bardock a little thanks to an old Scouter, revealing some shared family traits.
While Dragon Ball Super's biggest fans know quite a bit about Goku's father Bardock by now, Goku himself hasn't been so lucky; his youthful brain damage wiped any lingering memories he might have had of his parents. Plus, with the Saiyan species nearly extinct, there aren't exactly a lot of other people around to tell him stories about his old man, but at last, Goku had the chance to hear his dad, even if only through a recording.
It's a softer portrait of Bardock than what many fans had expected, so this new backstory has proven a bit controversial, as it implies Goku's kindness came from his father rather than being a result of that early brain damage that kept him from conquering Earth. Although Goku has never fretted too much over not knowing his parents, it seems the sound of Bardock's voice has managed to awaken something deep inside. Even with only a few panels, it's clear that this moment has significance for Goku. After all, Goku has always been portrayed as having a very different temperament than most Saiyans, including his own brother Raditz, who very nearly killed him when they met.
