Exploring Different Versions of Raditz Across the Dragon Ball Multiverse

Raditz is often viewed as a minor character or a joke in the Dragon Ball franchise, yet various storylines, games, and spinoffs showcase different versions of Goku's brother with unique power levels and fates.

While canon Raditz famously arrived early in Dragon Ball Z with a high power level of 1,500, alternative appearances across the multiverse range from parody manga adaptations to powerful fighters in promotional series.

Notable Versions of Raditz

• SD Raditz: Featured in the parody manga Dragon Ball SD, where a younger Raditz briefly meets Kid Goku and exhibits a low power level before losing his memory.
• Canon Raditz: The original DBZ antagonist who introduced the Saiyan threat with a power level of 1,500, though he was ultimately defeated due to relying too heavily on raw power rather than strategy.
• Phantom Raditz: An illusionary opponent appearing in Dragon Ball Super during Goku and Krillin's training, manifested from their memories.
• What If Raditz: From Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2, this version experiences amnesia, trains with Goku, and later confronts Nappa and Vegeta.
• Team 10 Raditz: Appearing in Super Dragon Ball Heroes, this timeline version trains within the Cracks of Time and achieves Super Saiyan 3.

Readers can verify these appearances by checking official manga volumes, video game scenarios, and anime episodes cited in franchise releases.
