That was right. As long as he recovered fully and transformed into a Super Saiyan once more, the answer would be revealed.
Without hesitation, Bardock caught the Senzu Bean, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed twice, and swallowed it in one gulp.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
His injuries vanished in an instant, while the power within him surged like a tide, climbing higher and higher.
The Saiyans' talent for growing stronger through battle was fully displayed in Bardock at that moment.
Barros stood quietly to the side, watching with piercing eyes as a sharp glint flickered deep within his pupils.
In the blink of an eye, not only had all the strength Bardock lost due to his grievous wounds returned, it had soared past five million in one leap.
The next instant, he clenched both fists tightly and let out a furious roar. The white aura churning around his body abruptly transformed into blazing golden light.
His pitch-black hair lit up strand by strand, gleaming with dazzling gold, while the indignation and unwillingness in his eyes completely condensed into icy emerald green.
Super Saiyan.
After Barros and Broly, Bardock had finally crossed that threshold—although he had risen through anger, he had undeniably become the third Super Saiyan.
Having transformed once again, even he was too stunned to speak. "Th-this endless power... A Super Saiyan isn't some kind of realm at all, but..."
"A true Super Saiyan must forcibly shatter their shackles with power at the ten-million level before they can transform," Barros said, looking at him and gently shaking his head. "You were swept along by rage and broke through ahead of time. Though you are also a Super Saiyan, your power is less than thirty percent of the standard form. It is no surprise that you lost to Cooler."
