the fact that in xenoverse 2 we got loving SS3 Bardock asked for by literally no one, but were denied fun bullshit like SS3 Raditz is unforgizable.

Bardock is infinitely more popular than Radditz is. I don't get why but he is.

to be fair, I don't see why raditz would be popular

bardock had a special all about him; raditz was some rear end in a top hat that got overshadowed by gohan's hidden power and goku dying

Raditz was the first dude who was so tough he made Goku and Piccolo (aka Proto-Vegeta) team up to fight him and in doing so lead to the death of Goku. It's kind of surprising he isn't a bigger villain than he is but I guess that's at least partially due to the fact he only has the most impact coming off Dragonball.

raditz comes and goes very fast and is instantly overshadowed by future villains. he's pure setup for later and he wasn't even the one that killed goku in the end. idk, I'm not seeing anything that someone might get attached to with raditz

Eh. I don't think he should be the Most Popular Character Ever or anything but when a character is introduced by being the protagonist's long-lost brother and then doing an effortless 2-on-1 fight against the strongest characters in the series until that point it's kinda funny how he basically ranks belong Zarbon and Dodoria in how much people care.

Oh. Well they probably just wished him back like a couple days later.

All I remembered from it was that he got amnesia somehow and Gohan called him uncle, which I thought was cute.

If Vegeta hadn't claimed Saibamen were each as strong as Raditz then he might have kept some supporters.

No way they were as strong as Raditz, though. Krillin killed like 5 of them in one blast, after only a year of extra training.

Coming from JoJo and Davepro's OP shenanigans, it shocked me to learn that cha la head cha la was used from the beginning of Z all the way through the end of Cell saga. (Partly because I watched the Toonami airing which usually cut the OPs altogether). Is that normal for anime, at least for the era?

Tangentially related, it's gonna be strange when/if DBZA switches to WE GOTTA POWA.

also explains why 17 is coming out of the mothballs and gohan has been training again, it's an all-hands-on-deck situation since they know people on par with goku and vegeta exist in other universes now

They were training at Kamis, using all the special rooms and poo poo. They could have been training for centuries up there, you don't know what Popo gets up to off screeen!

Goku trained at Kami's pre-Raditz. Was he holding out on Goku (probably)?

I like bigger numbers as much as the next guy but there was no plot reason for the humans to get considerably stronger than Raditz by that point (or ever). Stronger than a saibaman, weaker than a Nappa, these are arbitrary figures.

Zeno is planning on destroying the majority of the multiverse with this tournament, basically making him the penultimate DB villain. So, you think Goku will fight Zeno by the end of the arc? I don't think they would just let him destroy so many people without trying to stop him. Maybe everyone will team up against him like the DC universe against the Anti-Monitor, or Marvel vs Thanos?

Pretty please let them fight Zeno!

The point was that the humans had to be strong enough to survive for a reasonable amount of time, but weak enough that nappa can completely dominate the fight - for story reasons.
