Raditz: You won't die because we will come out victorious. Goku: I guess we must get going. Nappa: Finnaly, this planet sucks.

Raditz: it's finnaly time my brother we will defeat frieza. Goku: yes I'm ready to fight. Nappa: we're here. Goku: let's go. Frieza: Ho ho hooo you guys won't last so long. Goku: Well see about Frieza. Nappa: let's do this.

Raditz: No way my brother, it couldn't be. Before they can depart, however, he is confronted by his nemesis Piccolo.

Piccolo encountered Raditz after Raditz had first arrived on Earth, and was terrified by his raw power. Aware that they now have a common enemy, Piccolo suggests that he and Goku join forces to confront Raditz, which Goku hesitatingly agrees to.

Meanwhile, Raditz arrives at his spaceship and locks the crying Gohan inside. Through the use of his scouter, Raditz discovers that two fighters are approaching; as they get closer it is revealed that they are Piccolo and Goku. The duo face-off against Raditz, however they find that there is little they can do against the more powerful Saiyan.

Raditz gains the upperhand and soars into the air, firing dual ki blasts out of his hands at Goku and Piccolo. Goku is able to dodge his, however Piccolo loses his arm. Piccolo, unhindered, reveals that he has been holding back a new technique that he designed to kill Goku, however he decides that he will use it against Raditz. In order to give Piccolo time to charge the attack, Goku distracts Raditz with his Kamehameha.

Raditz is astonished that the two fighters can concentrate their power into single attacks, however he manages to neutralize the Kamehameha with ease, and then takes care of Goku with a blast of his own.

Fortunately, this was all the time Piccolo needed, and he fires his new attack, the Special Beam Cannon. Despite the power of the blast, however, Raditz side-steps it. Goku takes advantage of the distracted Raditz and grabs his tail, which Goku remembers as being one of his own weaknesses as a child. Raditz is rendered helpless, however he appeals to his brother to let him go if he promises to leave the planet, which Goku does, much to Piccolo's chagrin.

Raditz predictably double-crosses his brother, and pins him down, breaking bones and causing Goku much pain. At that moment, Raditz's space pod explodes.

Gohan, who had been watching helplessly from inside Raditz's pod, manages to blow the pod apart upon hearing his father's screams. Raditz's scouter detects the child's power level to be 1,, substantially higher than that of Goku and Piccolo.

The infuriated Gohan charges at Raditz , who is unable to react in time, and receives a swift head-butt to the chest, breaking his Saiyan Armor. Gohan's power level soon drops back to 1; and Raditz realizes that Gohan's power is affected by his emotions. Raditz quickly smacks Gohan aside, but is still physically hurt by the previous attack. Goku, using what little strength he has left, leaps up and locks Raditz in a full nelson.

Raditz is unable to break free, and Goku tells Piccolo to try his attack again. Piccolo does not hesitate to comply, knowing that the beam will kill Goku as well; though he knows that Goku's friends will most likely use the Dragon Balls to resurrect him, he is nonetheless satisfied with killing his archenemy.

He fires off another Special Beam Cannon, and Raditz, held by Goku, is unable to dodge it again, and the beam penetrates through both Raditz and Goku, mortally wounding both of them.

Raditz curses Piccolo, but commends his brother's spirit. Piccolo informs Raditz that Goku will be wished back to life using the Dragon Balls. Raditz, with his dying breath, retorts by saying that the scouter on his head acts as a transmitter as well, and that the other two more powerful Saiyans will come to Earth in one year and avenge his death.

Discussion regarding the entirety of the franchise in a general meta sense, including such aspects as: production, trends, merchandise, fan culture, and more. Post by Xeztin » Fri Oct 14, pm Basically as the title says, if they could have beat Raditz and Nappa into retreating like Goku did Vegeta at first, they could have lived.

I was a bit flabbergasted that Vegeta, who holds so much pride and anger over the extinction of his race, killed one of his own. I feel like Raditz and Nappa should have lived, because to me they didn't really do much. If Vegeta could be talked into being good, I'm sure Nappa could have. It's strange because when I ask someone about villains in the series, usually it's all Freeza, Cell, Boo etc.. Even people talk about villains from the original Dragon Ball over Nappa and Raditz, have they really been that forgotten?

I suppose it could have a lot to do with the Super Saiyan form not being introduced at that particular time as well. Nappa seemed like he was a lot older and reached his peak in life, but Raditz looked like he still had a lot of improving to do. Re: Why did Raditz and Nappa have to die? Post by Slangh » Sat Oct 15, am Nappa was just there to add drama and to make Vegeta look even more dangerous.

He was a henchman villain so of course he had to die. But the way Raditz was treated was just sad. He had to die after only a few chapters even though he marked the beginning of a whole new era in Dragon Ball. He was Goku's brother for crying out loud! If he was spared we could have seen some interesting bonding between him and Goku.

Basically, the boy shouldn't have cried wolf when the wolves just wanted to Go See Yamcha. If not, they might have gotten some help when the wolves came back to Make the Donuts. Post by Nejishiki » Sat Oct 15, am I'm not sure how you could claim neither did much. Raditz was the catalyst for the Saiyan Invasion. Nappa contributed towards making the Namek trip necessary. Relatively speaking, sure, they were "minor" compared to the entire story told.

You shouldn't judge their impact by page count though. Raditz and Nappa furthered the characterization of others while maintaining their identity. I'm not processing the idea they're "owed" anything.
