Raditz

Raditz (Radittsu) is a Saiyan warrior and the older brother of Goku.

Along with Goku, Vegeta, and Nappa, Raditz is one of the four remaining Saiyans following the destruction of their home planet, Vegeta.

He arrives on Earth, searching for his long-lost brother in order to recruit him in conquering other planets.

But when Goku refuses, Raditz kidnaps his nephew, Gohan, and orders Goku to kill 100 Earthlings within a day if he wants his son back.

Instead, Goku and Piccolo team up to defeat Raditz, though not even their combined powers are enough.

However, Goku makes the ultimate sacrifice by grappling with Raditz and allowing Piccolo to kill them both with his Makankosappo technique.

Before Raditz dies, Piccolo taunts him by explaining that Goku will be revived by the Dragon Balls, though Raditz manages to send one final transmission to inform Vegeta and Nappa of this, believing that his Saiyan comrades will come to Earth and use the Dragon Balls to revive him.

However, Vegeta and Nappa travel to Earth to use the Dragon Balls for their own purposes instead.

In the anime, Raditz later makes a minor appearance in Dragon Ball GT along with many of the other villains who escaped Hell.

He is voiced by Shigeru Chiba in Japanese, Jason Gray-Stanford in the Ocean dub, and Justin Cook in the Funimation dub.
