@@ShwappaJ so what if vegeta was more like tarble? well king vegeta would feel conflicted...on one hand his son vegeta is the strongest saiyan after broly and talented beyond imagination, on the other hand he is more of a weakling like his other son in the heart. ironically, he would be a true king in the eyes of every saiyan, even goku would join if he goes to earth, I highly doubt a fight will begin with vegeta being a calm and reasonable person.
Ahh, how nostalgic. The "What If" that started the golden era of these videos, showed us how great storytelling and creative MasakoX is and wasted potential that was in many of Toriyama's characters.
Personally I think alot of characters truly dropped out of the spotlight/truly became background characters and irrelevant once the Buu Saga began, because in up until the Cell Saga, characters that weren't Goku and Vegeta did SOMETHING atleast. Krillin and Gohan were definitely the side characters that did the most. Heck even Bulma somehow managed to stay relevant thanks to her genius mind. Once the Buu Saga began it was only Gohan, Goku, Vegeta, Mr.Satan, Goten and Trunks that did anything important against Buu. And then we're all aware that DBS became the Goku and Vegeta Show. T.O.P fixed that issue somewhat though.
nah he also dropped the yamcha and bulma plot point, as yamcha went with them in his own words to remain closer together and whatnot then he kinda just forgot it.
As someone who became good friends with Kevin (the voice of Raditz) and Amanda (the voice of Launch) via this, I will say this story is truly heartwarming and wholesome. This is one of the greatest gems the Dragon Ball fan community ever created. Possibly even surpassing the official canon.
@@ASpaceOstrich Search for Dragon ball R&R, you wont be disappointed. Amanda was moved to tears when I told her she is the reason Launch had surpassed Chi-Chi as my favorite female character.
I still say Raditz and Launch’s first date was him surging through stores to find some berry twist ice cream (she telling him it’s her favorite) until ultimately failing and getting a well deserved peck on the cheek with him declaring a proud saiyan warrior would never give up 😊
I thought it was pretty insane that Goku never even thinks about his brother after their encounter. Not even like a "I wonder if we would have gotten along if he was raised on Earth too?" or a "What if the roles had been reversed?". He doesn't even check on him in the afterlife. Also that Vegeta doesn't mention or think of him again even though he travelled and fought with him for over 20 years as one of 3 remaining Saiyans in Frieza's army. Just a weird lack of sentimentality, but I think Toriyama plain forgot about him lol.
@@sodokami6347 The latest movie has "Super" in the title twice because the doof forgot the series was called Dragon Ball Super, what do you expect? I'm convinced that he has dementia or something.
The reason the “What If Raditz” timeline is my favorite series by Masako is because it isn’t just Raditz that gets to shine but in turn, other characters, OCs and canon alike, receive much deserved character arcs with actual attention and growth as characters. And that isn’t to say his other “What Ifs” don’t do the same, but this one feels more like what Toriyama’s world could’ve actually become.
This is if not, the best dragon ball related content ever. You've managed to power through and use the most robbed character in DBZ and gave him the redemption and story he rightfully deserved from the start. I thank you Masako for all you've done for Raditz. It's been a ride for our not so average sayian warrior.. maybe we'll see more of him soon?
@@LaggerKnight he should’ve been DLC by now! Sure we have Xenoverse 2 having recent DLC due to DBS Super Hero, even then that game is still missing a few characters (Semi-Perfect Cell for instance). To have the three original Saiyan Squad on DBFZ would’ve been great!
1:32:13 Masako: "But ultimately she too is turned into gan-..." ù_ú "But ultimately she too is turned into candy." These occasionally blips in these what ifs genuinely makes it feel like someone's telling you a story amd not just reading off a script. It makes it feel a little organic in my opinion.
Well, I couldn't watch nearly 5 hours of this, but from the bits that I didn't just skim over, I'd say Raditz being good would be a massive improvement to the series.
Memories flooding back, I remember when I first discovered this series. I would play them in the back of my first full time job while doing dishes. Coming back now it's still as good as I remember Masako, really good stuff
It's been a long road since then. Masako has made Raditz into a truly worthwhile character. And also Ranch has become a cult favorite fan made character which is nice.
This was a long story, but it is worth it. Raditz. From Vegeta's lackey to strong sayain warrior, a loving husband, a proud father of three, the best bro to our hero, and a very good boi.
This what if and it’s handling is something I’ve always appreciated. When I see your work, I’m not getting just some simple what if vid but instead it feels like I’m peering into an ACTUAL alternative Dragon Ball script. Thank you and your team for everything you’ve brought to the table.
1:04:05 I honestly like the friendship Raditz and Piccolo has, it seems right since in the original story the only one Piccolo really seem to have an actual companionship with is Gohan, and that’s more as a teacher/student, he doesn’t have the same kind of friendship with Goku like Goku does Krillin or Vegeta.
Watching this all at once makes me realize how much better Masako’s Vegeta voice has gotten. I think of Masako’s Vegeta voice first before anyone else’s, it’s dope to see the evolution of it here 🤙
I have to admit, this was perhaps the best rendition of the Shadow Dragon Saga I’ve ever seen. There were lots of weird elements in this one like the Goku Black Arc and the Tournament of Power, but the GT section was done so fantastically that whatever qualms I had about the Super sections are practically non-existent. 👍🏽
I didn't know how much I was gonna love sitting for 5 hours watching this. When I got to the End Of Z arc, I thought it was gonna end until I looked at the time. I was like "WAIT A MINUTE, SURELY YOU AREN'T-"
I just wanna point out something real quick about super saiyan 2. Ssj1 makes your hair spike up. But not all of it. Goku still has bangs. Teen Gohan still has a fair amount pointing sideways not up. And adult Gohan has a bang. Ssj2 forces all those bangs up too. It forces all your hair up. Period. Meaning technically Raditz's hair should be sticking straight up as a SSJ2 and I just think that image in my head is hilarious
@@mangoman1096 I personally think that Ssj3 multiplies the length of your hair. So Goku and Vegeta who have roughly the same length of hair. It goes about to their waist. Gohan's shorter hair would only extend about to his upper middle back. But Raditz would end up with a long golden mane that he wouldn't even have to fight. He'd just like swallow you in his hair. And for the record. I think it multiplies your hair by a factor of about 4.
Masakox probably the main reason I'm still in fandom with his what of scenarios and few others. But I personally love his storytelling out of the what if scenarios I find on UA-cam with his skill in spinning a story can be very engaging.
This is the first series of yours I ever watched and I remember genuinely getting emotional multiple times thought. I cannot thank you enough for this amazing series.
Started this series all over and OMG YOU WERE YOUNG HERE!!!! IV been with your channel so long. Thank you for all the laughs,shocks,and tears! Please keep going
Now, this is the content I subscribed for! A month before the first "What If Raditz Turned Good?" I joined and I've been hooked to yours and Havrok's storytelling ever since!
Awsome masakox. You did it. I can wait to listen to it. I have all of your full stories downloaded to listen to while I work and I have greatly anticipated this gem. can't wait to see if you incorporated the future ranch arc into this version.
Well, here it is. The Full Story. It's the end of a long journey. We got five hours of Raditz, I love this. In my opinion, this is the best What If Series on this channel.
First. Not me, obviously, but the first (and only) one of your What Ifs to have a part with over a million views. And now, here we are. Congratulations, Masako!
I honestly wanted more ultra instinct, even if the gods weren't training Goku anymore I don't believe Goku would have just let the power go and never skip a day without trying to get that power back. In a sense he did the same with ssj when he was on yardrat, he had no one to teach him how to go back into ssj but he kept working at it while working on other things and eventually got it back and even improved on it
Among all of the what ifs. Raditz getting the spotlight never really got me interested. But after a few episodes i was hooked! Raditz is such a great character in the way you depicted it was such a joy to watch... Hear? Watch. Yeah. Regardless if its 4 hours i THOROUGHLY E N J O Y replaying this thinking of the excitement im in for whenever i do choose to replay it. All thanks to masakos brilliant work of course~ Cheers to more what ifs~
I completely forgot that the black star balls and the evil dragons coming out of the regular balls wasn't the same thing. This has been really entertaining. I'd love to see another what if in this timeline that continues super with the arcs that follow the ToP.
Wow... am I the only one who got kind of emotional when they saw the notification for this??? I remember watching these videos as they dropped back in 2017. I really hope your newer fans see this and appreciate the growth 🙏
I love this concept so much 🤩 My only changes would be to have Vegeta be more focused on his rivalry with Goku, and that Vegeta get SSB and Raditz be the one to achieve SSJ4 (he does still have the tail after all). Just such a fun concept that's really inspired a lot of talk and thinking
This is actually such an incredibly well made storyline, I'd love to see someone put this into a manga/comic or even animation if they were up to the task. Such a wasted character in the canon.
I'm glad you made an updated and proper video on this series. I tried watching it before, but god, was it confusing. I was constantly questioning the cannon of it and the chronological events. Thank you!
Omg masakox yes thank you just thank you for giving this man a movie of what if movie I've and many others have been waiting for this for so long can't wait to have the what if raditz turned good gt!! I took a sec to check out the chapters and omg you already did you are like the king of dragon ball what ifs
I wonder how Raditz first reacted to Launch sneezing and changing into her blonde hair. I also wonder when he started to have feelings for her and what their first date was like
Always love your what ifs 😍 And looking back over the many years they got better in every way. An idea for a future what if: What if the z fighters participated in the 24th World tournament (The one Hercule won) -Gohan and Videl could become early childhood friends. -The z fighters would become popular instead of Hercule Would take place sometime before the androids arrival.
A part of me wishes this continued when the Super anime came back or covering the other sagas, but for now this is still the best string of What Ifs on this channel and the one that got me to watching and subbing to this channel.
Thanks for all you did and will do with this character Masako, you have no idea how greatful most of us are, that you managed to make relevant and interesting such a wasted character, imo this timeline is better than the original story, can't wait for more Raditz content, and hopefully in the future keep going with it to the Moro and Granolah Saga :) Take care! 💪🏻❤️ BTW at 3:40 you predicted years in advance what Vegeta said recently in the super manga character, where Goku's family tends to be more kind and empathetic than the average saiyan
Ngl, something i wish Masako would do is like, as weird as it sounds, a Xenoverse based what if. Idk why, i legitimately WOULD like to see him do something like that.
Alright, this is it. You made me like DragonBall and the other characters so much more than I ever thought possible, so no more beating around it. I didn't watch the original GT What If Raditz episodes because I don't care for GT too much but let's see if you and raditz can change that.
@@diamondskull0739 it was more of a slow evolution of things it's just that nowadays masako does a lot more impressions and has more of an emphasis on story telling than just just a speedy run down of the scenario.
i heard it a few times already and i love it but i wish the endingd was more emotional maybe when goku is aboaut to leave raditz talks to him ans says: "before you leave i just want to thank you for everything, i change so much an is all thanks to you brother, i have a family and friends i couldn't ask for more... i will always remeber you and i'll always be proud to be your brother...thank you goku."
@@MasakoX too right, old boy. T'would never work. Care for an ice cold hetap? 🤣 Seriously though I just started watching R&R and I'm impressed with it. Especially that opening animation!
I had been wondering about this ever since the first what-if compilation. This thing is five hours long, I can see why it may have taken a bit. Don't have time to watch right now, but this is a real classic of the channel. A bit odd to see Raditz kinda pulling the main character role away from Goku, but at the same time...we know what happens when Goku is the main character, so why _not_ have a little fun and give someone else the spot? Especially Raditz, who had so much potential as a character and then just sorta got rolled. Hell, even if he didn't "turn good," he could have been an interesting recurring villain, kinda like Frieza, or...y'know, literally anything at all. Instead he gets intro-boss syndrome. So what I'm trying to say here is, thanks for showing off what could have made this character great. Even if it's not "canon," it still shows that we can have fun with characters who didn't get their due justice in any official product; I can honestly say this series changed how I look at writing and at characters.
I remember people being so weird concerning part 12. Like the whole "Raunch is a Mary Sue" thing. I'm not saying some of these what-if don't go into "replacing goku as the main character" syndrome, but come on. In the same part people were complaining, Raunch outright fails because of ego. She gets eliminated first. If it was just the ribbon, I mean, it's barely a factor and is just another excuse to do something different in a Tournament that seemingly doesn't question technicalities.If it was just about her being there at all, I don't know what to say. Krillin is there. At least Roshi had UI to a degree in the manga. Krillin is Krillin and assuming similar events went down as Super, Krillin retired for a number of years so he's weaker. Then there was the whole "People say Raunch replaced Frieza when really she replaced Tien" thing which, I think Masako's just admitted it was replacing Frieza after some time. Either way even if that was the case, Frieza was a gamble given what he could do to everyone in the universe if he was revived. The gang on Earth were clearly not gonna chase Frieza down to stop whatever evil thing he's planning, as clearly shown by the canon. Meanwhile Raunch is there, alive, and mastered Super Saiyan 2. And as part 11 said, she had actually fought in a multiversal scale tournament before. unlike Trunks and Goten. People wanted Goten and Trunks in the Tournament to begin with so it's not absurd. Simply, this just works and it shows the U7 Saiyans as not invincible as one of them slipped up first.
I always thought the ribbon was wasted potential. I'd have rather the ribbon turn out to have been concealing a hair clip that doubled as a blutz wave generator and have her go Golden Oozaru. It would've tied the power bow back into Bulma's work studying GT Saiyan physiology and had payoff when she finally got SS4 in the future. (It also would've tied into the technicality that allowed Roshi to use the bottles with the Mafuba, it's an accessory that enables their natural ability) The power bow never amounts to much after its first appearance.
Alright done took a bit (A good bit.), but finally finished overall really good. 👍 Who knew this all this started from Raditz joining the Dragon Team. It was cool seen Raditz and Vegeta going from bitter rivalry to a more respectable one during this whole thing. I still like see how you would do the Moro Arc, but I'm guessing your waiting till the Granola Arc finishes and DBS: Super Hero comes out. Anyways again overall another really good series, and looking forward to your next video soon.
I've never watched these videos as closely as they deserved. But now's the time to finally delve into this 4+ hours of Raditz stories. Gonna draw some raditz art as I listen!
Finally The Brother of Goku his First Foil,and the one beside cell that Goku had to sacrifice himself to take down and the only one who had the same blood potiential who finally get his due via this what if director cut thank you masakox for this wonderful content featuring one of our favorite low class saiyans.

masako your raditz what if could be considered your current opus magnum.
What about the movies?
I hope you give Nappa's story a definitive edition in the future that includes the movies and GT.
Hey, I have an idea for your next what-if
What if Vegeta wasn't an arrogant prick, and was much softer?
@@ShwappaJ so what if vegeta was more like tarble? well king vegeta would feel conflicted...on one hand his son vegeta is the strongest saiyan after broly and talented beyond imagination, on the other hand he is more of a weakling like his other son in the heart.
ironically, he would be a true king in the eyes of every saiyan, even goku would join if he goes to earth, I highly doubt a fight will begin with vegeta being a calm and reasonable person.
Ahh, how nostalgic. The "What If" that started the golden era of these videos, showed us how great storytelling and creative MasakoX is and wasted potential that was in many of Toriyama's characters.
Agreed man. This video is the royce gracie of the 'what-if' world lol

Krillin and Gohan were definitely the side characters that did the most. Heck even Bulma somehow managed to stay relevant thanks to her genius mind.
Once the Buu Saga began it was only Gohan, Goku, Vegeta, Mr.Satan, Goten and Trunks that did anything important against Buu.
And then we're all aware that DBS became the Goku and Vegeta Show.
T.O.P fixed that issue somewhat though.
Partly due to an up to this point being primary a comedic action writer and shifting more toward the action during the Z era.
@@mesiagamer5217 I mean, the Buu Saga was pretty goofy.
Damn couldn't have said that better
I like how because the retcon is in the middle, youi can actively see Masako's drastic change in lighting over 3 years.
nah he also dropped the yamcha and bulma plot point, as yamcha went with them in his own words to remain closer together and whatnot then he kinda just forgot it.

Was having a rough night AND morning but waking up to see this up got me giddy. Thanks so much for showing all this love to Raditz!
Best part is, he left an opening at the end for it to continue
The single most defining What If on the channel. This is one hell of a movie!
Bro the fact you add voice acting to these what ifs makes it all the more better than the original

Among all of the what ifs.
Raditz getting the spotlight never really got me interested. But after a few episodes i was hooked! Raditz is such a great character in the way you depicted it was such a joy to watch... Hear? Watch. Yeah.
Regardless if its 4 hours i THOROUGHLY E N J O Y replaying this thinking of the excitement im in for whenever i do choose to replay it. All thanks to masakos brilliant work of course~
Cheers to more what ifs~
I would like a spinoff for the children that includes, Pan, Bulla, Dikkon, and Muli
That's what R&R is
I completely forgot that the black star balls and the evil dragons coming out of the regular balls wasn't the same thing.
This has been really entertaining. I'd love to see another what if in this timeline that continues super with the arcs that follow the ToP.
After watching through this for a while I want an entire line of action figures based on this because there are so many cool things happening here
Wow... am I the only one who got kind of emotional when they saw the notification for this??? I remember watching these videos as they dropped back in 2017. I really hope your newer fans see this and appreciate the growth 🙏
its not that deep kid
calm down 💀
@@maalikserebryakov not nearly as deep as your mom 👊
28:53 Vegeta is making fun of Raditz, Because He just mocking his Power Levels
Damn, the cut is even better than Raditz's.
I love this concept so much 🤩
My only changes would be to have Vegeta be more focused on his rivalry with Goku, and that Vegeta get SSB and Raditz be the one to achieve SSJ4 (he does still have the tail after all). Just such a fun concept that's really inspired a lot of talk and thinking
It would be so freaking awsome if we had a comic version of this!
This is actually such an incredibly well made storyline, I'd love to see someone put this into a manga/comic or even animation if they were up to the task. Such a wasted character in the canon.
Absolutely my favorite storyline of the channel. Great stuff Masako. Man we were all a few years younger when you started this huh?
I honestly think that raditz could have been one of the best characters in dbz
This has to be my 2nd favorite what if of all time. I wish Ranch & Goku had more interactions though, especially future Ranch.
What's your first?
I'm glad you made an updated and proper video on this series. I tried watching it before, but god, was it confusing. I was constantly questioning the cannon of it and the chronological events. Thank you!
Omg masakox yes thank you just thank you for giving this man a movie of what if movie I've and many others have been waiting for this for so long can't wait to have the what if raditz turned good gt!!
I took a sec to check out the chapters and omg you already did you are like the king of dragon ball what ifs
And now my annual rewatch of this series is now so much easier. The best Dragon ball what if series ever created
I wonder how Raditz first reacted to Launch sneezing and changing into her blonde hair. I also wonder when he started to have feelings for her and what their first date was like
Always love your what ifs 😍
And looking back over the many years they got better in every way.
An idea for a future what if:
What if the z fighters participated in the 24th World tournament
(The one Hercule won)
-Gohan and Videl could become early childhood friends.
-The z fighters would become popular instead of Hercule
Would take place sometime before the androids arrival.
A part of me wishes this continued when the Super anime came back or covering the other sagas, but for now this is still the best string of What Ifs on this channel and the one that got me to watching and subbing to this channel.
This was a ton of fun. I absolutely love what you did with the Tournament of Power!
Thanks for all you did and will do with this character Masako, you have no idea how greatful most of us are, that you managed to make relevant and interesting such a wasted character, imo this timeline is better than the original story, can't wait for more Raditz content, and hopefully in the future keep going with it to the Moro and Granolah Saga :)
Take care! 💪🏻❤️
BTW at 3:40 you predicted years in advance what Vegeta said recently in the super manga character, where Goku's family tends to be more kind and empathetic than the average saiyan
Nice to see fans showing Raditz some
Finally, i can finally watch the raditz story in full.
I remember watching this What If as it came out. Its very nostalgic, great job, good sir! Thank you for years of content
Still so pleased with how well this What If did! Twas truly amazing ^^
My schedule was wide open… *That is, until Raditz showed up!*
Ngl, something i wish Masako would do is like, as weird as it sounds, a Xenoverse based what if. Idk why, i legitimately WOULD like to see him do something like that.
Sorry, man. That would be a no.🤷
Man, part 1 of this series is what introduced me to the channel to begin with. Talk about nostalgia.
Watched five hours of what if and I regret nothing!
Thanks for this awesome work
It warms my heart to see Goten and Goku actually hug in the End of Z part.
Alright, this is it. You made me like DragonBall and the other characters so much more than I ever thought possible, so no more beating around it. I didn't watch the original GT What If Raditz episodes because I don't care for GT too much but let's see if you and raditz can change that.
Welp. You tried.
And GODDAMMIT YOU DID IT
I'm so glad I'm subscribed
Love how Masako's wat if fight is
"well coriographed" lol
Ah the old what if format, memories😌
What has actually changed about his format? I watch both and new videos regularly so I probably have trouble telling what are old and new videos
@@diamondskull0739 it was more of a slow evolution of things it's just that nowadays masako does a lot more impressions and has more of an emphasis on story telling than just just a speedy run down of the scenario.
@@jojoboi8854 now that you're saying it, that does seem to be right. Thanks!
@@jojoboi8854 I assume the overview format was because what if episodes were monthly instead of weekly at that point.
i heard it a few times already and i love it but i wish the endingd was more emotional maybe when goku is aboaut to leave raditz talks to him ans says: "before you leave i just want to thank you for everything, i change so much an is all thanks to you brother, i have a family and friends i couldn't ask for more... i will always remeber you and i'll always be proud to be your brother...thank you goku."
"Omg you should make a series about his daughter"
Whaaaa? That would never work!
He already did
@@MasakoX too right, old boy. T'would never work. Care for an ice cold hetap? 🤣
Seriously though I just started watching R&R and I'm impressed with it. Especially that opening animation!
I had been wondering about this ever since the first what-if compilation. This thing is five hours long, I can see why it may have taken a bit.
Don't have time to watch right now, but this is a real classic of the channel. A bit odd to see Raditz kinda pulling the main character role away from Goku, but at the same time...we know what happens when Goku is the main character, so why _not_ have a little fun and give someone else the spot? Especially Raditz, who had so much potential as a character and then just sorta got rolled. Hell, even if he didn't "turn good," he could have been an interesting recurring villain, kinda like Frieza, or...y'know, literally anything at all. Instead he gets intro-boss syndrome.
So what I'm trying to say here is, thanks for showing off what could have made this character great. Even if it's not "canon," it still shows that we can have fun with characters who didn't get their due justice in any official product; I can honestly say this series changed how I look at writing and at characters.
I know what I'm listening to when I'm at work. Always down to go through this again.
So glad to have this. This one is my favorite so far thank you!
I love Raditz turned good. hopefully you update dragon ball R ana R episode 8. love your work.
I remember people being so weird concerning part 12. Like the whole "Raunch is a Mary Sue" thing. I'm not saying some of these what-if don't go into "replacing goku as the main character" syndrome, but come on. In the same part people were complaining, Raunch outright fails because of ego. She gets eliminated first. If it was just the ribbon, I mean, it's barely a factor and is just another excuse to do something different in a Tournament that seemingly doesn't question technicalities.If it was just about her being there at all, I don't know what to say. Krillin is there. At least Roshi had UI to a degree in the manga. Krillin is Krillin and assuming similar events went down as Super, Krillin retired for a number of years so he's weaker.
Then there was the whole "People say Raunch replaced Frieza when really she replaced Tien" thing which, I think Masako's just admitted it was replacing Frieza after some time. Either way even if that was the case, Frieza was a gamble given what he could do to everyone in the universe if he was revived. The gang on Earth were clearly not gonna chase Frieza down to stop whatever evil thing he's planning, as clearly shown by the canon. Meanwhile Raunch is there, alive, and mastered Super Saiyan 2. And as part 11 said, she had actually fought in a multiversal scale tournament before. unlike Trunks and Goten. People wanted Goten and Trunks in the Tournament to begin with so it's not absurd. Simply, this just works and it shows the U7 Saiyans as not invincible as one of them slipped up first.
Also, like. Gohan was also going to replace Goku as the main character and a large portion of the Fandom is still annoyed that that didn't happen.
I always thought the ribbon was wasted potential. I'd have rather the ribbon turn out to have been concealing a hair clip that doubled as a blutz wave generator and have her go Golden Oozaru. It would've tied the power bow back into Bulma's work studying GT Saiyan physiology and had payoff when she finally got SS4 in the future. (It also would've tied into the technicality that allowed Roshi to use the bottles with the Mafuba, it's an accessory that enables their natural ability)
The power bow never amounts to much after its first appearance.
Alright done took a bit (A good bit.), but finally finished overall really good. 👍 Who knew this all this started from Raditz joining the Dragon Team. It was cool seen Raditz and Vegeta going from bitter rivalry to a more respectable one during this whole thing. I still like see how you would do the Moro Arc, but I'm guessing your waiting till the Granola Arc finishes and DBS: Super Hero comes out. Anyways again overall another really good series, and looking forward to your next video soon.
I've never watched these videos as closely as they deserved. But now's the time to finally delve into this 4+ hours of Raditz stories. Gonna draw some raditz art as I listen!
This is amazing for one of your most popular series! Will there be Director cuts for others as well?
The Gine one TECHNICALLY had one with Part 0, but unlikely this is the only one with a modified timeline.
@@MasakoX We still got a couple of them needing that epilogue. 🤷🏾♂️
I literally rewatch this probably 3 times a year, it’s so great
Finally The Brother of Goku his First Foil,and the one beside cell that Goku had to sacrifice himself to take down and the only one who had the same blood potiential who finally get his due via this what if director cut thank you masakox for this wonderful content featuring one of our favorite low class saiyans.
I wonder if this one series single handedly changed how we view radditz as a collective. i still love it
New complete What If video! And I Ranch, the character I've wanted to learn the most!
If this what if were canon, Raditz becomes a kid when Dragon Ball Daima rolls around.
I can see a conversation between Gohan and Raditz on Namek;
“Don’t worry, uncle Raditz. You get used to Vegeta eventually.”
“Believe me, you dont.”
I Absoultely love that "What if". I am a lifelong Raditz fan so this is such a treat for me.
