	Goku's aura turns golden, and Redict is surprised by this. Giru informs whoever might be listening that Goku's energy is rising, and then Goku transforms into a [[Super Saiyan]]. Redict is shocked and confused, but Goku attacks, breaking the spear on the way to punching Redict in the gut. Redict drops the broken spear, grabbing the spikes that dangle from his wrists, but Goku immediately knocks them out of his hands and flips backwards, kicking Redict in the chin. Don Kia is distressed to see that Redict is losing. The fight continues hand-to-hand; Redict cannot land an attack, but Goku gets in several blows, eventually sending Redict hurtling back toward the palace with a downward kick to the head. Redict manages to land gracefully on the roof and then prepares a last-ditch energy attack, while Goku charges a ''Kamehameha'' to counter it. Goku's attack overwhelms Redict completely.

'''Redict''' is a fictional character in the Japanese animated series ''[[Dragon Ball GT]]''. Don Kia makes his debut in [[Dragon Ball GT Episode 3|episode 3]], which debuted on [[Fuji TV]] on '''28 February 1996''', as the power behind [[Don Kia]], the dictator-king of [[Planet Imegga]].

Redict is a prideful warrior whose wish is to fight someone strong.<ref name="C4"/> When [[Trunks]], [[Goku]], and [[Pan]] are escaping [[Kia Palace]] with their spaceship, [[Don Kia]]'s bodyguards [[Gel]] and [[Shila]] attack them with a combination energy beam. Goku overwhelms their beam with a ''[[Kamehameha]]'', but Redict steps in to deflect it, and seems to recognize Goku as a [[Saiyan]]. Afterward, Don Kia reprimands Gel and Shila for the stolen spaceship and damaged dock; for as much as he pays them to be bodyguards, they are worthless. Redict is offended, so Don Kia assures him that he was only talking about Gel and Shila.<ref name="GT4">{{Cite episode|Series=GT|Eps=4}}</ref>

After learning how Don Kia captures space travelers and forces them into servitude, the [[Earth]] trio allow themselves to be arrested so they can enter the palace again. Once inside, they break free, defeating all the guards, and go to confront Don Kia. When they enter, Pan attacks first and Don Kia captures her in a force field that electrocutes the others when they try to approach. He then triggers machine guns to fire on Pan. When the smoke clears, Redict is standing there, and he tells Don Kia that these are not the kind of opponents that can be defeated with such weapons. Don Kia asks him to take care of them, but Redict reminds him not to order him around. He fights for himself.
[[File:GT5-RedictVSTrunks.png|thumb|275px|Redict dispatches [[Trunks]].]]
Goku and Trunks both recognize Redict as a serious opponent, and [[Giru]] senses the danger too. Trunks attacks first, aiming a punch at Redict's head, but Redict dodges and punches Trunks in the chest. Trunks hits the ceiling and bounces on the floor before falling again, defeated. Goku tells Trunks to leave this one to him and go see about Pan. Redict tells Goku that he can sense his strength, so Goku introduces himself and asks Redict who he is. Redict introduces himself as well, telling Goku he will not hold back even if his opponent is a child. They stare each other down for a moment, and then they both attack at once.

Their fists meet, and then Redict shoots fireballs from one hand, blowing out the side of the cupola. Goku blocks the attack and retreats outside; Redict comes up behind him to fight hand-to-hand, but Goku blocks his kick and grabs him by the leg, throwing him some distance away. Redict attacks with the fireballs again, hitting Goku and obscuring him in smoke. Then Redict grabs the spikes on his shoulders, pulling them free and converting them into swords. As soon as the blades form, new spikes grow on Redict's shoulders.

[[File:GT5-Redict-Kick.png|thumb|275px|Redict kicks [[Goku]] in the stomach.]]
Redict watches the smoke, waiting for Goku to emerge, but then he senses Goku moving behind him and quickly turns to attack with one of his blades. Goku dodges this attack and the flurry that follows, then catches both blades in his hands, struggling against Redict until the blades shatter. Redict takes this opportunity to kick Goku in the stomach, sending Goku crashing through the palace. Redict is waiting when he comes out the other side and punches him back through the palace again. Inside, Don Kia sobs over the destruction of his palace.

Redict pulls another spike from his shoulder, forming a long spear and then chasing after Goku. Goku turns at the last moment, dodging the blade end of the spear, but Redict spins the spear to hit Goku with the flat end, sending Goku hurtling down again. Goku recovers quickly, drifting back up to face Redict, but he is out of breath. Acknowledging Redict's strength, Goku confides that he is starting to get excited. Redict suspects that Goku is hiding his true strength, and says, "Isn't that right, Saiyan?" Goku seems surprised that Redict knows he is a Saiyan, and Redict is smug, but Goku is content to start round two.

Goku's aura turns golden, and Redict is surprised by this. Giru informs whoever might be listening that Goku's energy is rising, and then Goku transforms into a [[Super Saiyan]]. Redict is shocked and confused, but Goku attacks, breaking the spear on the way to punching Redict in the gut. Redict drops the broken spear, grabbing the spikes that dangle from his wrists, but Goku immediately knocks them out of his hands and flips backwards, kicking Redict in the chin.

Redict manages to land gracefully on the roof and then prepares a last-ditch energy attack, while Goku charges a ''Kamehameha'' to counter it. Goku's attack overwhelms Redict completely.
