Background
Bardock and Gine were one of the only mated Saiyans whose bond was tied by love for each other rather than for reproductive purposes. Bardock was a low-class Saiyan mercenary who leads a small platooncomprised of four other Saiyan soldiers in Bardock - T he father of Goku.His wife Gine was also part of Bardock's Team at one point. Together, the team makes a living by traveling to various planetswhere they decimate the defenses of these civilizations and prepare them for . Bardock was famous for his bravery even among the Saiyans; he is mentioned by Paragus in the movie Dragon ball Z - Broly the legendary SSJ when he recognizes Goku as Bardock's son, and it can be thought that Paragus was Bardock's superior .After being saved on the battlefield by him several times, Gine developed some feelings for Bardock, which Bardock eventually reciprocated. Due to her gentle nature, Gine was not cut out for fighting and retired. Her gentle nature has also changed Bardock's behavior, as Saiyans usually do not demonstrate care for their children but Bardock does. Bardock and Gine already had two sons by the time of the destruction of Planet Vegeta. According to Akira Toriyama, the pair of Bardock and Gine were those rare Saiyans who were joined by a bond other than for reproductive purposes, and in an interview, he says that Bardock himself might have had siblings, but perhaps even Bardock himself does not really know and, at any rate, he probably has no interest in it eitherGine used to be a member of Bardock's Team. While she was a part of that team, Bardock routinely saved her from many dangers on the battlefield. This caused her to develop romantic feelings for him, which Bardock eventually began to return and the two grew to have a special bond. As she was not cut out for fighting, Gine went on to work at the meat distribution center on Planet Vegeta. She bears Bardock two sons, the first named Raditz, and the second named Kakarot. Kakarot was sent to earth by Bardock and Gine, on earth was re named Goku. Goku would eventually avenge his parents by defeating Frieza and would eventually become one of the most legendary heroes of all time.

She tells Bardock that Raditz is already a fighter, and is working with Prince Vegeta. Since they are far away, though, they have not returned yet. When Bardock asks if Kakarot is still in the incubator, she replies affirmatively and tells that it took three years. Gine then says that she will take Kakarot out soon. A while later, Bardock tells Gine that he will steal an Attack Ball in the night so that they can send Kakarot to another planet. Gine questions Bardock, who reassures her that it is for Kakarot's sake. Gine remarks that it is not like a Saiyan to worry about his children. Bardock shoots back that her uncharacteristic softness rubbed off on him.
