Dragon Ball's Bardock, Goku’s father, underwent a total rework for his character design, despite being popular with fans, and here is why.

Bardock was originally introduced in a Dragon Ball TV special, but his popularity made him a mainstay, and one producer would like him to return.

Broly and Paragus survived in different ways in their canon and non-canon versions. Other surviving Saiyans like Turles, Bardock, and Tarble exist in non-canon material.
