Background / History

Raditz was born a high-class Saiyan warrior with a combat power of 300 and serves in Prince Vegeta's squad alongside Vegeta and Nappa. By the Planet Beast mission, his ordinary combat power is 700. He is Kakarot's older brother, though he initially dismisses the infant as a useless low-class warrior and reacts angrily when Soya predicts Kakarot may become a Super Saiyan. 2 5

During the Planet Beast operation, Raditz repeatedly clashes with Soya's rapid growth and becomes the target of the squad's “Doudou” punishment game. He ultimately chooses to partner with Soya while clearing monster-infested regions, despite fearing that Soya's recklessness will get him killed. 6 10

Soya uses Raditz as the first test subject for Battle God Water. The water temporarily raises Raditz's combat power to 2,800, allowing him to defeat monsters he previously could not challenge. However, once the enhancement expires, his power crashes to 175 for a full day. 11 13 27

When Cui arrives on Planet Beast, Raditz and Soya stall him while waiting for the Battle God Water's effects to end. Raditz helps prepare and serve Cui a pig leg marinated in his own urine, then panics when Cui realizes the deception while still overwhelmingly powerful. 19 21 22

Raditz initially agrees to join Vegeta's attempt to confront Frieza, but retreats after Soya reveals Frieza's vastly greater power. He leaves Planet Beast with Soya and travels to Earth, where Soya instructs him not to kill indiscriminately and claims that a peaceful state of mind could help him become a Super Saiyan. 31 32 33 44

Appearance

Raditz is described as youthful-faced. While on Earth, he wears casual clothing and wraps his Saiyan tail around his waist, allowing him to pass as an ordinary Earthling at a glance. 1 49

• Possesses a Saiyan tail, usually worn around his waist like a furry belt. 49
• Becomes completely limp when his tail is grabbed or squeezed. 11 50
• Uses a Scouter during missions to measure combat power and locate targets. 2 12

Personality

Raditz is proud of being an elite, high-class Saiyan and is sensitive about the gap between his strength and that of Vegeta, Soya, or Cui. He mocks Kakarot's low birth power and is frustrated when Soya's combat power quickly surpasses his own. 2 5 31

Despite his pride, he is anxious when confronting opponents beyond his ability and readily abandons Vegeta's plan to challenge Frieza after learning the scale of Frieza's power. He is also highly susceptible to Soya's manipulation, repeatedly agreeing to drink experimental Battle God Water despite suspecting that Soya is using him as a test subject. 10 13 32 33

He can be observant and cooperative when necessary. He helps Soya deceive Cui, identifies monster concentrations through his Scouter, and follows Soya's restrictions on Earth largely because he knows Soya can defeat him with ease. 12 19 44

Abilities & Skills

Saiyan Combat Ability

Raditz is a combat-trained Saiyan capable of flight and close-quarters fighting.

• At 2,800 combat power, he defeats a wolf-like monster with 1,000 combat power. 12
• He survives being swallowed by the wolf-like monster, bursting out from inside it before continuing the fight. 12
• He can fly at high speed, though he struggles to keep pace with Soya after Soya's rapid power growth. 10
• His tail is a severe physical weakness; being grabbed leaves him unable to fight. 11 50

Battle God Water Amplification

Raditz can temporarily multiply his combat power by drinking Battle God Water.

• Two mouthfuls raise his combat power from 700 to 1,400; additional doses bring it to 2,800. 11
• His initial maximum is a fourfold increase; later, it rises to fivefold. 11 31 47
• The standard enhancement lasts one hour. 11 27
• Once the effect ends, his combat power is reduced by the same multiplier for one day. 13 27
• Drinking additional doses before the hour expires can extend the duration of the enhanced state. 47

Scouter Use

Raditz regularly uses a Scouter to monitor combat power and communicate across distance.

• Tracks monster concentrations and assigns targets according to their combat power. 12
• Detects Soya's sudden increases in power. 6 9
• Contacts the Frieza Force to report the Vegeta detachment's completion of the Planet Beast mission and the discovery of Battle God Water. 29

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Scouter — Measures combat power, tracks targets, and enables long-range communication. 2 12 29
• Battle God Water — Used to temporarily multiply his combat power; Raditz later carries and consumes it on Earth. 11 47 49
• Spherical spaceship — Used to depart Planet Beast and travel to Earth. 33 44

Relationships

• Soya — Companion, superior combatant, and frequent manipulator. Soya repeatedly uses Raditz as a Battle God Water test subject, but also protects him while he is weakened and later brings him to Earth. 10 13 33 44
• Prince Vegeta — Squad leader and prince whom Raditz obeys as a subordinate. Raditz initially supports Vegeta's campaign against Frieza, then leaves when the plan becomes untenable. 31 33
• Nappa — Fellow Saiyan squad member. They participate in the Doudou game and share contempt for weaker warriors, though Raditz takes satisfaction when Soya surpasses Nappa. 5 10
• Kakarot — Younger brother. Raditz initially calls him useless because of his combat power of 2, but later shows concern for his brother's well-being. 2 25 27
• Cui — Enemy deceived by Raditz and Soya on Planet Beast. Cui briefly attempts to recruit Raditz after mistaking his submission for genuine loyalty. 19 21 22
• Jaco — Galactic Patrolman encountered on Earth. Raditz becomes enraged by Jaco's behavior and wants to kill him after Jaco grabs his tail. 49 50
• Tights — Earthling acquaintance encountered with Soya and Jaco; Raditz hides his Saiyan identity around her until Jaco discovers it. 49 50

Trivia

• Raditz is five years old during the Planet Beast mission. 25
• His first Battle God Water test fails because one mouthful is treated as a one-times multiplier rather than an increase; the effect begins with two mouthfuls. 10 11
• He repeatedly receives Soya's unwanted “Super Saiyan training,” including being ordered to recite a difficult tongue twister. 44 45
• Although he wants to unleash a large attack after reaching 3,500 combat power on Earth, Soya orders him not to act. 50
