Raditz’s Super Saiyan 3 form has ridiculously long hair, reaching ridiculous proportions, meeting fans’ expectations. Despite Raditz’s Super Saiyan 3 transformation, he was quickly defeated by Turles, suggesting his power level may be much lower than Goku or even Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks’.
A long-running online joke has become reality in Dragon ball franchise as Goku’s older brother radius was finally achieved Super Saiyan 3 in the spin-off manga Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultra God Mission. Over the decades of Dragon Ball’s existence, fans have created many jokes and memes involving various characters undergoing hilarious transformations. Examples of this include transformations such as Super Saiyan Nappa, whose mustache grows over his eyes, or Super Saiyan 6 Goku with golden fur.
First introduced in Dragon Ball chapter 195, titled “The Mysterious Warrior from Space,” Raditz quickly shocked fans around the world when he revealed that he was the alien brother of Goku comes from another planet. His design is impressive as he possesses armor unlike anything seen before in the series. His long black hair also provided an immediate connection to Goku and eventually became a defining characteristic of the Saiyans. Several years later, Super Saiyan 3 would be introduced in the Majin Buu arc, with extremely long hair reaching down to the user’s waist. Fans of the series immediately began speculating about a hypothetical Super Saiyan 3 form for Raditz, with his uniquely long hair growing to completely ridiculous levels. Decades later, their dream has finally come true.
Raditz achieved Super Saiyan 3
In Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultra God Mission chapter 3, a Raditz from an undisclosed timeline will appear in the Super Space-Time Tournament. There he found the power-hungry Turles and the two quickly clashed. Raditz wasted no time in unleashing his new Super Saiyan 3 form and it was as ridiculous as fans expected. There really isn’t a single panel in the entire fight that would show where Raditz’s hair as a Super Saiyan 3 ended up. This transformation is truly fan service at its finest, creating a joke that readers have been thinking about for years.
Raditz’s Super Saiyan 3 form also has some wild implications when looking deeper into the character’s design. The most notable thing is that Raditz still has a tail. Now, the fact that Raditz can achieve Super Saiyan 3 logically means that he has the ability to use the previous transformations, Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan 2. This means that Raditz meets quite a few requirements. required to become a Super Saiyan 4 under the right conditions. He can still transform into a Great Ape and has awakened the Super Saiyan power needed to become a Golden Great Ape. Although he lost the match with Turles in a rather embarrassing manner, it is unlikely that Raditz will appear again and possibly with Super Saiyan 4 powers.
How can Raditz’s Super Saiyan 3 compare to Goku?
Based on how quickly Raditz was defeated by Turles, it’s very likely that his Super Saiyan 3 won’t even be comparable to Goku’s. Goku was able to take on Buu in his Super Saiyan 3 state and Buu is a much more dangerous opponent than Turles. Although Goku doesn’t use Super Saiyan 3 much, as the state is famous for its speed and energy consumption limitations, it seems easy to determine who is stronger. For that matter, even Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks could handle Raditz with ease and they’re still just kids.
Raditz has been the subject of a running joke for more than two decades. He is essentially the Yamcha of the Saiyans. His nickname is even Raditz “the Runt”. His return as a Super Saiyan 3 in Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultra God Mission continues to implement that idea with radius‘ ridiculous transformation and quick defeat at the hands of another Saiyan. However, with more timelines introduced in each chapter, this wayward Saiyan may return sooner. Dragon ball the fan thought.
