Legendary Super Saiyan Saga

The Legendary Super Saiyan Saga is hidden content in the original Dragon Ball Xenoverse, unlocked after the main story concludes. Chronoa explains that wormholes tied to Demigra's lingering influence are tearing through different eras of history, and the Future Warrior must follow these rifts to prevent catastrophic collisions between characters who were never meant to meet.

Bardock's Last Stand, Rewritten

The saga begins in Age 737, the day Planet Vegeta dies. The Future Warrior arrives just as Bardock is fighting through waves of Frieza's soldiers, many of them warped by Demigra's Dark Magic. In the original history, Bardock faces Frieza alone and is consumed by the Supernova that destroys the Saiyan homeworld. Here, the Future Warrior fights alongside him, and when Frieza launches his Supernova, a wormhole swallows Bardock before the blast can kill him, transporting him to an unknown destination while Planet Vegeta still meets its intended fate.

Broly Unleashed

The second phase sends the Warrior to Age 774, where a Dark Magic-enhanced Broly is rampaging. Goten, Trunks, and Videl are struggling against the Legendary Super Saiyan, and even Gohan's arrival barely tips the scales. After the Warrior helps defeat Dark Broly, the wormhole swallows the berserker too, pulling him to yet another era. The Time Patrol scrambles to track where both displaced Saiyans have gone.

The trail leads to Age 762, the Namek era. Bardock appears on the battlefield where Goku and Frieza are locked in their legendary struggle. The Future Warrior joins Bardock once more, and together they keep Dark Broly from reaching Goku. All three displaced fighters, Bardock, Broly, and the Warrior, are transported to Earth when Goku's wish to Porunga sends everyone on Namek to the blue planet.

On Earth, Broly immediately attacks Bardock, sending him flying. The Future Warrior holds the line until an unexpected ally appears: Vegeta, who does not recognize Bardock but senses the Saiyan blood in him. Bardock, recognizing the Prince, asks Vegeta to create a Power Ball, an artificial moon. Vegeta obliges, and Bardock transforms into a Great Ape, the massive primate form that Saiyans unlock under a full moon's light.

Three Saiyans Against One Monster

The battle becomes an all-out brawl: Great Ape Bardock, Vegeta, and the Future Warrior against Dark Broly. The Legendary Super Saiyan's power is immense, but three opponents attacking from different angles eventually overwhelm him. Broly falls, and Bardock collapses from exhaustion as the Great Ape form fades. Trunks: Xeno arrives, knocks Vegeta unconscious from behind to prevent awkward questions, and takes responsibility for returning both Bardock and Broly to their proper timelines. Vegeta, belonging to this era, is left to recover on his own, none the wiser about the time-traveling relatives he just fought alongside.

The wormholes continue causing smaller disturbances in the GT timeline before Chronoa resolves the issue by reassembling the affected time scrolls. However, Bardock's fate remains unresolved. In the prologue of Xenoverse 2, Towa saves Bardock from death via a new wormhole, brainwashing him into becoming the Masked Saiyan, while Broly is separately recruited from an alternate timeline. The threads laid here weave directly into the sequel's narrative.

The Legendary Super Saiyan Saga draws its emotional weight from Bardock, a character who was originally created for a single TV special and given only a few minutes of screen time. Here, he becomes a co-protagonist, fighting across three different eras with no understanding of why he has been displaced and no guarantee of survival. His willingness to battle alongside the Future Warrior despite his confusion speaks to the stubborn Saiyan pride that he passed on to his son.

Bridging Two Games

This saga serves as the connective tissue between Xenoverse and Xenoverse 2. Bardock's disappearance into the wormhole sets up his transformation into the Masked Saiyan, one of the sequel's central antagonists. Broly's displacement establishes a pattern of warriors being plucked from their timelines by outside forces, a mechanic that both Xenoverse 2 and Super Dragon Ball Heroes would expand upon. For players who completed both games, the Legendary Super Saiyan Saga transforms from a fun bonus chapter into an essential piece of the larger Time Patrol narrative.

The Great Ape battle on Earth remains one of the most visually distinctive moments in the Xenoverse series. Watching Bardock tower over the battlefield in his primal form, fighting alongside Prince Vegeta against the Legendary Super Saiyan, is a collision of Dragon Ball icons that could only exist within the franchise's time-travel framework. It is fan service elevated by genuine storytelling stakes, and it gives Bardock the extended spotlight that fans of his character had wanted for years.
