Bring back raditz

Post by alwayshavebeen » Mon Nov 21, 2016 6:57 pm

We never found out what happened to him and a lot has changed since he was around. He has a backstory and you can have any creative stories with him.

Radditz is one of the weakest fighters in existance now. Chaiotzu can beat him.

He serves no purpose.

A mini-series about the Saiyans before their demise, sure. But nothing where Goku uses the dragonballs to bring him back to life.

Other than Freeza was, of course. Or Trunks.

They can bring back Yamcha and make him more powerful than Beerus if they want.

Well, he could be brought back as a grunt of Baba. Maybe she could reanimate his corpse or something. But that's about it

Pretty sure you get a Beyond God Tier Baseball Player Yamcha in 2-3 weeks.

You don't know, but Yamcha have been always hiding his true power...In fact he is an angel and Pual is the god of destruction from Universe 10...Don't you think it was too weird that we saw U10 Kaioshins, but we didn't see U10 Hakaishin and his Angel?
And Yamcha is the most powerful angel of all. Even stronger than Daishinkan. He came just in the begining because he know Goku is a prodigy...Yamcha will be like Lucifer in the end of Super....

Thanks!

Me too man. I really hope Time-breaker Yamcha is foreshadowing of what's to come.

I don't see what much can be brought to the table with Raditz returning. At this stage Roshi could easily kill him and everything that we need to know about the background of the Saiyan race has already been touch upon. Whether it bee through the manga, anime filler, the guidebooks, the movies, GT and Super.

We all know the power scales in the series constantly contradicts itself though. They could easily give Raditz a mystical powerup just like they gave Future Trunks.

With that being said though, I agree, he won't be coming back. Raditz is long forgotten about, which is sad considering he is Goku's brother.

That's true. This is a franchise that is infamous for handing out power-ups and new transformations to the cast like candy to babies.

They can't bring him back. His new do would be so powerful and reality-enveloping that they would need Zeno to help them out again, and Toriyama probably doesn't want to beat that horse just yet.

I wouldn't say Raditz is a long-forgotten character, especially now that Dragon Ball Heroes gave him some highlight. But who knows what fate has for Raditz?

Yes bring him back, build up the hype and then hand him a one shot death back to hell were he belongs. :twisted:

Oh yeah, would like that, too. Back stories about the saiyans are always interesting.

Else I see no reason for him the reappear. And he is too weak to make an impact.

Please, don't. After bringing Freeza back, I don't want them to bring back any characters! I want new stuff like the Champa Arc and the Trunks arcs!

That logic doesn't apply to Super. 3 months of training or a rage boost, and he'll catch up.

I don't really understand why people want him back. If he was the one to live instead of Vegeta he would probably have had the exact same character arc. He's not really that unique compared to Vegeta. Bring back Nappa! :D

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.
