I love how the the 2 Sayains are just sitting there eating the aliens they slaughtered, I guess their race will eat anything. Guess that explains Goku's appetite >.>

Poor Goku, what did Kami-Sama do to Goku anyway? And damn Gohan sure is strong, and he'll even get stronger! So lets see what they can accomplish in one year until the other saiyens will come on earth!

So here we're introduced to Nappa and Vegeta. Can't remember too much of what Kami has in mind for Goku in DBZ although it can't be much different to Kai.

Pretty good stuff, the most interesting part being the introduction of Vegeta and Nappa. As well as Goku being taken by Kami.

And, holy shit, Horikawa Ryo who did Reinhard in LoGH is the voice of Vegeta. Badass.

Son Goku is dead.

After Son Gohan was angry, he attacked Radditz with massive power. But after this, he didn't feel angry anymore and lost his massive power. In the end, Son Goku held Radditz, so Piccolo killed Radditz and Son Goku. And one year left until the two Saiyajins come to Earth.

god i love the ost sometimes.
gohan really goes zero to hero. raditz slapping gohan was pretty evil. now i really know the saiyans are the msot evilest things out there. goku may not be the most powerful person in this fight, but damn does he have some insane persistence. does raditz's armor really give him that much more power? he mentioned that he lost power from the blow that was given by gohan. this really makes me wonder about saiba men, but we'll get to that later.
pretty insane way to end off raditz, especially considering theres worse to come and goku just died. the rest of the saiyans seem even more ruthless so they're gonna be fun.
goku dying with krillin by his side is an incredible callback. even more effective if you've actually seen dragon ball original.
i find it interesting how nappa actually thought about breeding with humans to revive the saiyan race for a little bit.
hopefully they're going to be prepared for the saiyans coming, because if they aren't earth is beyond screwed.

Goku sure is a persistent one. Even with broken lungs and bones, he held in dear life on his powerful brother. Not anyone could do that. Sure, Raditz was fairly weakened, but he outmatched both Goku and Piccolo, which says a lot about Goku's tenacity. I have to say, Goku and Piccolo do make a good team, Goku, the muscle of the two, and Piccolo, the intelligent of the two. Of course, Raditz's defeat couldn't have been made possible if it weren't for Gohan, kudos for him. As Raditz has noted, with training and the right guidance, Gohan could become a force to be reckoned with. That is if his mother agreed to it. At this point, she has to if she wants to ensure her son's survival.

Piccolo was a bit reckless here, though, by telling the dying Raditz all about the seven dragon balls only found on this planet. Then again, Raditz was on the verge of his last breath, so I understand. But still, you never know what sort of technologies that alien life forms, like Raditz, have in their person. Oh well, sooner or later, those two Saiyans would have visited Earth, regardless of the discovery of the Dragon Balls. I say better soon than later.

Now, if only they explained as to how Gohan could have such untapped power.

Gohan got so angry, it actually inflicted damage on Raditz. One year is quite a lot more time than I was expecting. Honestly, I was thinking they would arrive in, maybe, just a couple of days. Still, if they are to revive Goku now, then the dragon balls will be usable in just a year on. I wasn't expecting them to disregard the idea of reviving Raditz just like that though.

Nice episode. Gohan is really very powerful but just for the time when he is in rage. Good thing he is safe. Goku did a bold move there. I was wondering why Piccolo was just standing there doing nothing. Actually he was waiting for the best time. But it was wise enough somehow. They at least defeated Raditz in exchange of Goku's life. Never thought he will die. However Kami took care of it. Now it is time to get stronger for the new enemies. Piccolo should also get stronger for that.

WTFF IM NEVER READING THE SPOILERISH TITLES AGAIN 😭

Obviously Goku will come back. But I still felt sad to see him die. At least Raditz got taken out as well. Gohan is a lot of potential and I want to see how he will take advantage of it. The warning sign of only 1 year until the Saiyans arrive was pretty haunting.
