Current Events > I like how Raditz is Goku's brother

(+) Yeah! (+)

But is pretty much never mentioned again after the Saiyan arc.

Because he's dead. Grandpa Gohan isn't talked about much either after Dragonball and he's Goku's adopted father. Once you're dead that long, you're just a memory.

Goku will befriend a genocidal space hitler but not his own brother

They're like the only two major characters that become irrelevant after their death though lol.

Well what would you want them to say about him? Doesn't really matter that he's Goku's brother if the two of them never had any kind of relationship prior to DBZ.

Yeah, but with resurrection being such a big thing in Dragon Ball, you'd expect Raditz to show up at least once. Plus he's the first major villain of DBZ.

He did at least have a fairly prominent appearance in Vegeta's flashback from when him, Nappa, and Raditz would work together. Also he was mentioned by Cell.

Bring back Nappa and Raditz

Didn't he show up in filler or GT? Maybe I'm just imagining that.

I think that Akira Toriyama sometimes doesn't really put much thought into his plots. he's made some cool characters. but some of the stuff doesn't make much sense.

The rest of the Saiyans are fucking lame that's why

yea Bardock is the best. that new Bardock movie needs to be canon. I don't know if it is, but it should be. and he needs to return to the present and meet Goku

He probably doesn't even remember Raditz.

When you're a kid, you love DBZ.
When you're in your 20s, you realize DBZ is shit.
Later on, you stop caring.
