To be fair Raditz was significantly stronger than Goku when he died. If the dude had survived who knows?

On the other hand Krillin got strong enough to oneshot three Raditz with a year's training.

If Vegeta and Frieza have taught us anything it's that the DB universe would have been crushed under some space tyrant or other's yoke ages ago if they actually did, well... any kind of basic body training. Ever.

I don't see the point of being a space tyrant if you have to do things like work.

No one said that ruling with an iron fist was easy. No one understands you, everybody fears or hates or wants to kill you. Truly, tyrants are the biggest victims of all.

He's talking about Raditz, who for mysterious plot reasons is a lot stronger than he should be in the game

still weaker than Nappa and Saiyan-saga Vegeta though

Balls. Game unavailable in my region.

Anyone got some deets on how to play it anyway?
(Does that count as piracy? If the game is free?)

Nevermind, managed to find a solution.

It's really kind of weird how little Raditz is talked about in the context of the show. He was the guy to reveal Goku and Piccolo were aliens, he led to the first death of Goku, and he's the main character's brother. This just seems like a character who should keep popping up but nah, he dead.

It's an easy scene to miss but he had a hole blown through him by Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon and died. He stopped appearing after he died because he was dead.

All of whom were resurrected by their friends (except Vegeta, who got lucky and was ressed incidentally by Dende's wish). There was literally no one in the universe who wanted to revive Raditz, so he stayed dead.

That's not true, Nappa wanted to use the Dragon Balls to revive Raditz. Vegeta just convinced him that immortality was a better idea.

The only pure villian to be resurrected was Frieza.

Nappa Frieza’s henchmen, Cell, and the bad Buu all stayed dead.

I stand corrected. The only people in the universe who would have revived him decided not to anyway, so he stayed dead.

I mean, petulant answers aside, Raditz was around when the revolving death door wasn't in full blown activity yet and they did tease resurrecting him for a second there.

Even with Radditz being dead forever, normally you'd figure the protagonist's evil space brother would have a larger impact even beyond the grave.

Too bad Goku ain't give a gently caress about blood ties. Was Radditz even there when Goku and Krillin were having bad weed nightmares?

Vegeta pretty much fills the role of 'antagonistic Saiyan who resents Goku for failing to live up to his heritage' anyway, aside from being a cowardly loser no one really gave a poo poo about his role in the story is pretty much made redundant by Vegeta

Plus even in the original there were hints that Goku wasn't quite fully human (the fact that he has a tail, turns into a giant ape during a full moon and can shrug off bullets for example) so that one isn't really that much of a stretch.

At some point, during muscle tower maybe, a robot scans him and from the robot's view point it says "alien" as to what he his. Anyone know if that was always there or if it was maybe added into the version I remember it from?
