What if RADITZ Survived? (Full Story)

This started as a joke on my Twitter earlier this year, where I made Raditz a biker just because. I made more art for it, and then a loose script and now... an actual what if scenario. It's a concept that's been covered plenty of times before, but now it's time for my interpretation. What would happen if Raditz miraculously survived Piccolo and Goku's defense? Let's discuss in this full series movie edit of "What if Raditz Survived?"

Radits: *kidnaps gohan and only threatens to kill people* Goku: "i'll never forgive you" Vegeta: *kills a bunch of people of earth* Goku: "haha best friend"💀

[@jetsteamgray]

Yes, I thought about that during the first hour and a half. Goku trends to forgive people with relative ease. I think that in this scenario Radditz would be forgotten during the timeskip between the saiyan battle and the travel to Namek.

As legendary as MasakoX's version of this is, I have to admit, in my opinion, this has to be the best rendition of this what if I've watched to this day, and I've watched countless what ifs by you, him, and others, and there has been several versions of this what if concept, and despite MasakoX's reigning supreme in my mind all this time, I have to say, yours was the better, a little if not quite a impressive margin, considering, as previously stated, how legendary his was

I do think if Radditz did live, it would have brought their levels so much higher and faster then originally even with Vegeta as their ally later on. The 3 of them would be pushing each other harder and harder. Sibling rivalry would be a very serious culprit for significant gain!

[@tynirio_1]

Let's be honest with each other here, they were ACTIVELY nerfed. There isn't a reason for Gohan not training with Goku and Whis from time to time, or even HTC training. No reason for the Z fighters to get absolutely shreked in terms of character, power or even relevance(They're basically just special spectators with plot armor cranked to the max)

[@johnhill484]

This is definitely by far one of my favorite stories you've written!

[@randomguy1912]

This gave me kind of an odd idea: What if Chi-Chi got back into fighting? This would start within the time skip between the Buu Saga and Battle of Gods. Feeling nostalgic about her encounter with Goku in the 23rd World Tournament, as well as seeing Gohan and Goten more focused on fighting, Chi-Chi gets the idea to seek out the Dragon Balls in order to restore her youth, and getting Bulma involved would have her want the same wish as well; wish is granted, Chi-Chi gets back into fighting, and since Goku failed to get Bulma to give Elder Kai a kiss, she promptly does so on the condition that he unlock her potential as well, just so she can (at least try to) keep up with the Saiyans. I like the idea of Beast Chi-Chi, so that's why I thought of this.

[@barstool9156]

The problem is that we don’t know what “Beast” is a part of. It could be due to the unique Rage state that Gohan has (and if so, could Broly unlock such a state. Are the anger abilities different?) or is it just a form unique to Saiyan Physiology? Could it be a form similar to Ultra Instinct where it is also a Technique, meaning that you can learn to achieve such a form, maybe from the Kai (due to the similar design motifs) We don’t know enough about Beast to say that Chi Chi, or really anyone other than Gohan can unlock it.

[@randomguy1912]

@@barstool9156 It is rather theoretical at this point, since Akira Toriyama can't be arsed to give us enough details; although the dialogue from Piccolo in XV2 suggests that anyone can get the form, as the humans that trained under Kami before Vegeta and Nappa arrived on Earth could have had access to the form at some point; it's likely that their power levels weren't high enough to unlock it just yet.

honestly if I could switch out Vegeta for Raditz in DBZ I probably would, just to see how things would play out, I mean, it makes way more sense than Vegeta living honestly, considering he's literally Goku's brother, and only living Saiyan blood-relative, while Vegeta IS an amazing character, I think with more development beyond "Big scary villain" Raditz could be even better.

[@nicoletheholo-lynx830]

I have a really weird What If... What If when Goku was dropped on his head, he was more disciplined, more calm. So instead of that happy go lucky Goku we know, he was instead more calm and collected, deciding to learn more techniques and inner peace. Either that or What If the Red Ribbon Army was Good.

[@MasterTemplar781]

About the Moro thing i might be wrong but if a Hakai touches anything even if it touches a single atom of a being or thing that being or thing would be erased as it slowly dissapears even if the hakai just touched it slightly. Which in this story happend to Moro so his skin shouldn"t be slightly erased Moro would've died. I'd also like to add using UE and UI at the same time is a bad move. UE makes the user stronger if the user takes damage in any way. Meanwhile UI makes the user dodge anything that could damage the user. So either you use both meaning UE is useless bc you dodge all damage. Or you force yourself to take damage making UI useless. Even switching in between forms won't do much bc even tho UE makes you strong it will only make you super powerfull if you take damage. So: You take some damage using UE You attack a few times using UE You dodge using UI You attack with UE You take damage with UE You dodge with UI You attack with UE. So you can develop a good strategy if they make an attack that won't do much damage you use UE and let it hit you to make you stronger. If it does alot of damage use UI to dodge so you wont be damaged too much. Then use UI to get to your opponent and only use UE when you attack while using UI for everything else.
