It was a SHOCK!

If I could erase my memories of any anime/manga franchise just to watch and read it again with zero expectations, it would be Dragon Ball.
It sucks that most baka gaijins like us were introduced to Z first and experienced the story completely out of the intended order.

This entire board would be full of "BRAVO TORIYAMA"

>he's both an alien and his brother?
>lmao rushed manga must be getting axed

>"KRILLIN JOB KRILLIN JOB KRILLIN JOB"
>"AAAAAIIIIEEEEE"
>"I KNEEL"
>"Where is tien?"
Zig Forums's reaction for you user

Imagine all the "ENTER CHADITZ" posting

>Whoa this guy is Goku’s brother? Surely he’s going to be a huge character going forward with the series.

Raditz will job to Tien

I can't even imagine what it must have been like for anybody that started with z back when it first came to the west seeing the mc of a show straight up die in the first few episodes.

EL HERMANO

This honestly seems like a terrible story twist in retrospect.

>my evil twin brother

brother eh? I bet he'll join their side and go on good and exciting adventures together

I have NEVER watched an episode of Dragon Ball/Z
I have NEVER read a chapter of Dragon Ball
I am living a happy life. Are you?

It was barely a surprise except for little kids back in the day

Nobody thought anything of it because there were no expectations built up.

>be brother
>don't get revived or get stronger
>just die and get forgotten after the arc you're introduced in

Of course not, im on Zig Forums and so are you.

Ace wasnt introduced in marineford user

No we would all think it was jumping shark.

What do you mean?

Is he the only brother done well?

>monkey aliens

well this shit will never go anywhere

Ace is like the anti Raditz. He's incredibly relevant to the plot and world building and even after he dies he just wont fuck off with his over long flashback arc or spiritually in Sabo

>Hao
>done well

>even goku's dad has his own movies
what a fucking failure of a brother

Ace is basically pic related

basically what i think every time too. i find it funny because it's weirdly untypical of a shonen for the once stronger older brother to just be gone and unmentioned forever after that.

>He's incredibly relevant to the plot and world building
He was only relevant in MF

What a waste of a character. Raditz got shat on and forgotten even faster than the usual arc villain.

he was also there to hype up Blackbeard and Whitebeard

guy got overshadowed by his book owner and Faudo

People shit on Vegeta, Launch, Tien, Krillan, Gohan, and Yamcha, but none of them have anything on Radditz. Even Bardoc was treated better.
