I really wish you could make a what if smug stick was in dragon ball you could also go into your caretaker a little bit please make it I know it will be good ☺️☺️☺️

Amazing You should do a what if about beerus came when goku was born beerus would either destroy the planet or train goku.

Raditz is just having a existential crisis the entire video. 😂

is it just me or raditz is having a mental breakdown iin the entire video

Well it would make sense, unlike goku he lost his memory as an adult, not a child.

Raditz is one of those characters that could have been a perfect good guy like vegeta too bad toriyama didn't let goku revive him he has a lot of potential

[@sectorz1019]

He didn’t want to draw raditzs hair all the time

Thats the same reason Goku vegeta Gohan all lost their tails

[@sectorz1019]

@@mattrosencranse9575 no they lost there tails due to the fact the destruction they brought when they transformed during a full moon

It's much better this way, it's a great end for a story, for a character that didn't even have a thought in the later stories, that isn't tainted by the shit that is dbs

[@francisferrell9816]

This isn't a original story you know? This is a retelling of the budokai tenkaichi 2 side story named faithful brothers and at the end,raditz sacrificed himself to kill nappa and vegeta

[@Dragonalzer]

the best part is when krillin fell from the nimbus and smug said "landed safely on his face" 🤣

Can you make a different version where Raditz doesn't have to lose his memories and becomes an actual Z-Fighter, joining Goku and co for things like Fighting Vegeta and Nappa, going against frieza, meeting beerus, and so much more. I feel like your version of it would be amazing

MasakoX would be proud to find another Raditz defender. Great story adaptation!

[@zarbon5460]

Fr raditz is such a goat, i wish toriyama did more with him before he passed RIP to the goat

[@Lego-raditz1]

frrrrrr

[@dansmith16]

I strangely support him as missed potential for something greater. Instead, we get joke characters every arc.

[@Nsinger998]

Frieza: I get the feeling you don't like me very much. King Vegeta: Mister, I think you're slime!

[@tex6929]

I wish something like this happened. I don’t like how the series has no problem killing off saiyans like Raditz or Paragus even though their race is on the brink of extinction. Their presence would make it a lot more entertaining

[@Cysco8575]

Let's not forget that Nappa planned to reproduce with Earth's women to repopulate his race but Vegeta called it off 😅 Ironically Vegeta ended having 2 children with an earthling. Just imagine Nappa as this one viltrumite general from Invincible that had many wives and children and loves them all equally.

[@derrickmccann8254]

What a beautiful What If Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2 Story of Raditz Losing his Memories and Turning Good for the better with an Perfect Ending

[@cirnosnumberfan6449]

The What-if is called Faithful Brothers.

[@GothicSnowLeopard]

i was bout to say, this reminded me a ton about that unlockable plotline, beating Raditz instead of losing got it to unlock

[@zenkai4124]

Nah this was beautiful. The ending was something dragonball fans needed. A happy ending for such a tragic character. Thank you for making it Ps does anyone know the song that played as raditz crashed into vegeta and nappa

How dare you make me cry for Raditz! That was very well done. I loved it. Thank you so much

[@hattoripool1533]

I always wanted to see you adapt the Hero Mode Storyline from Dragon Ball Z Ultimate Tenkaichi or the cut content Dragon Universes story for Kid Goku from Dragon Ball Budokai 3 which involved Kid Goku getting transported into the future and interacting with the Older Z cast or maybe the What if Cell story from Budokai 1 where he absorbs Krillen in a nightmare during the waiting period for the Cell Games

[@SmugStick]

I’ve thought about doing the cut content from B3, especially since we have a lot of the voicelines. Might be worth doing soon

[@LorienzoDeGarcia]

I had a running joke with my cousin when we were young which went like this: Because it seemed like the stronger you get, (let's count out Dragonball GT for a second), the longer your hair gets like in SSJ3, right? So we always laughed how if Raditz had turned good, he would be one of the strongest SSJ's ever because he will have even LONGER hair than his current long black hair. So essentially he would become Saiyan Rapunzel and be the strongest Super Saiyan of them all. Fight me. LOL.

[@bossshun9]

Raditz and Goku vs Nappa and Vegeta would be an epic fight. Knowing Goku & Raditz, they would keep fighting each day and training to get stronger than each other. It is safe to say that when Vegeta and Nappa comes, they would have a hard time against them. Not to mention, Piccolo, Tien, Chazuo, Krillin, and even Yamacha would be backing them up. The fight would be intense and worth it.

[@EvilGeniusRANIK]

Imagine Raditz comes back really strong and fuses with Goku to defeat Black Frieza. The two brothers put down the tyrant that destroyed their family and their home and avenge their parents They continously show Raditz and Goku's parents. Now that Goku knows who his parents did and what they did ammnd even teared up, there has to be a more emotional connection to highlight. Raditz needs to come back. He has Goku's potential and spending 20 years in the hyperboloc time chamber with Goku along with a crap ton of zenkai boosts would boost him to the level the group is now.

[@SCH292]

What if Raditz and Nappa both turned good? Whoooo!
