Raditz (ラディッツ Radittsu), also known as "Raditz the Runt", is an average Saiyan warrior, brother of Goku, and the eldest son of Bardock and Jin. He is one of the few remaining pure-blooded Saiyans after the destruction of their homeland. He searches for Goku in hopes of recruiting him into Frieza's forces to aid in the planetary conquest.
Raditz is the main antagonist of "The Legend of Raditz" and the main villain in "Dragon Ball Z".
Raditz's appearance is extremely long, spiky black hair with a prominent widow's comb. He wears brown and black battle armor in the same style as other Frieza soldiers. Wearing boots, armored breastplate and a gun in "Plaza" the title page "SA" shows a blue reconnaissance plane. Chapter 196, as well as the green color in the anime and manga in full color. Additionally, he wears two accessory belts, white in the manga and red in the anime: one attached to his left arm and the other to his left leg. Raditz also inherited Bardock's eyes and skin color.
Raditz is perhaps the only Saiyan whose hair grows longer than he grows, and who also transitions into his Super Saiyan 3 form.
Unlike his brother Goku, his mother Jin, and his father Bardock, Raditz is strict, cruel, and often arrogant like most Saiyan warriors. However, he offered his brother a chance to become part of Frieza's empire, and only against Goku when Goku refused and protested his plans. He enjoys teasing and annoying weaker opponents before actually dealing with them, as shown when he constantly mocks Piccolo and takes great pleasure in seeing his brother Goku and nephew Gohan suffer. He is very controlling and begs Goku to let him go when Goku grabs his tail to weaken him. Goku did as he was told and Raditz hurt him badly and started crushing his ribs, laughing and taunting him.
Raditz was born to Bardock and Jean 736 years ago. Raditz was born with a power level high enough to become an upper class warrior and was assigned to the same group as Nappa. Later, Vegeta also joined the team.
Raditz is on an alien planet with Prince Vegeta, Nappa, and two unknown Saiyans as part of an invading force. Raditz and Vegeta heard from Frieza through scouts that he needed the Saiyans to return to Planet Vegeta. Raditz asks if they're going back to Earth, but Vegeta wants them to pretend they're not listening. A month later, Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta, killing most of the Saiyans, while Vegeta's faction (including Raditz) was still gone.
Before his parents died in the destruction of Planet Vegeta, they informed Raditz about what happened to his brother Kakarot. But Raditz believed that Kokarot was officially sent to Earth to conquer Earth, but in fact his parents stole a space capsule and used it for Bardock's obsessions and fears, and Lysa plans to destroy him and Send cockatiel. to the ground without permission. The Saiyan due to his fear of the Super Saiyan legend, as shown by Frieza's forces investigating the legend and Frieza ordering the Saiyan to return to Planet Vegeta.
Because Prince Vegeta chose to ignore this, it saved himself, Raditz, Nappa, and two other Saiyans from becoming one of the Saiyans killed in the destruction of Planet Vegeta.
In the animated flashback of the Frieza Saga, sometime after the Saiyan Genocide, Raditz returns from the invasion of Planet Chic with Nappa and Vegeta. But they were insulted instead of Dadaria, Zab and Friza. Raditz is clearly hurt and angry at this, and Nappa loses control and tries to attack Frieza, Zabon, and Dodoria, but Vegeta orders his comrades to stop, realizing that he has no chance against them.
At the beginning of Dragon Ball Z, Raditz arrives on Earth in a space capsule, searching for a man named Kakarot, who later turns out to be Goku. After Raditz incapacitates a farmer who discovers his capsule, Raditz detects a power reading on his scout plane and believes it to be Goku. He searches for the power source and encounters Piccolo, Goku's enemy at the time. Raditz asks Piccolo where he can find Kakarot, but Piccolo refuses to tell him and warns him to leave Earth immediately. Raditz inks Piccolo, who launches a powerful attack at Raditz, but Raditz is unharmed, much to Piccolo's surprise. As Raditz prepares to destroy Piccolo, he discovers another level of power, and this time he knows it's Kakarot he's looking for.
