How can Gohan find his home if he doesn't remember what home looks like? 🥺 (kidnapping AU)

"Two & A Half Raditz's"

Here it is!! My short slice-of-life comic about Raditz and Nappa being roommates. I started with the final punchline ("Shut up and eat your Raditz") and worked entirely backwards from there.

Plus: a bonus epilogue strip!

(A side note: I'm sure I'll pick up doing more Raditz comics if the whim strikes me, but if you like roommate comics, I have a years' worth of strips over at @dibbitandboo-two )

Saiyan Saga Au - Bardock and family

[ap-kinda-lit]

I’m too lazy to draw it and too excited to wait but this is my Saiyan Squad AU in a nutshell

[bubzterr]

boys will be boys (world conquering giant monkey werewolf people)

[xeenok-laboratories]

I imagine Goku an’ Rads have damn near identical accents ‘cuz of their statuses, but Goku’s kinda changed a li’l bit when he got sent to Earth.

Oh, an’ Rads is dressed casual ‘cuz I’m workin’ on an AU. I might explain more later.

Thank you I.. I didn't know I needed a Mermaid au??? Where else can I draw Vegeta with his hair down, Nappa and Raditz as sidekicks on his quest for love, and Frieza with eight octopus legs, and- okay, I'm now getting obsessed with this au..

Toriyama really said "Okay so Goku has this older brother who wears these tiny little shorts and a weird band (?) around his ridiculously thicc thigh and also has long beautiful fluffy looking hair. Got it? Good! We'll never discuss him again after this!" 😭

Raditz kidnaps Gohan au I blame a certain someone for this 👀 you know who you are

After a harsh training Gohan feels bad and Raditz is there to comfort him to keep going (for self gain reasons prove to Vegeta kidnapping the brat was worth it but maybe does he care?)

[eggdoodles]

Roleswap au! I've seen a couple of these for Vegeta and Goku and wanted to make my own spin on it

Part 1

Part 2

I wrote like a shit ton of lore for how this au would play out, and now it's dancing in my head internally

A fic for this sounds great but it'll literally be a retelling of dragon ball and I cannot commit 😭😭😭

Part 3

I like to think of the "Gohan kidnapped by Raditz" AU as a story that ultimately must climax with Gohan's return to Earth. He works in the force from a young age (~4) but has a persistent longing for a home he barely remembers, and knows he belongs elsewhere.

Returning to Earth means a chance to discover his memories and potentially his family. It could also be a catalyst for Gohan eventually leaving the force. As much as living as a full-blooded Saiyan may have suppressed his Earthling side, he can't hide from his roots forever.

Depending on the version of the AU, I think this could mean anything from Gohan meeting his father on Earth and teaming up with him and others to fight members of the Frieza force, to Gohan returning to an empty Earth and wandering the plains, lost in memories.

A two-page comic about Raditz adopting a cat. A cat-itz, if you will.

Call me, Toriyama.

Saiyan Squad AU outline (part 2) ⭐️

part 1

Vegeta, Nappa, Raditz, and Kakarot form a squad and fight in a war between Frieza and what remains of the Saiyans.

At some point early on, they land on Vampa, where they find Broly.

Broly’s father, Paragus, was banished to Vampa after he was accused of working with Frieza. As further punishment, Broly was sent with him so the two would surely die on the planet together. They managed to survive and Paragus swore revenge. Before the squad arrived, Paragus had presumably abandoned Broly. When Broly meets Raditz, Kakarot, Nappa, and Vegeta, they right away recognize his immense power and take him in.

The Squad travel space and go on mission after mission, trying to find a new planet call home and bring down Frieza’s empire.

As king, Vegeta is the self-declared leader and the angry, arrogant gremlin we all know and love. Since they’ve known him since childhood and practically grew up together, Raditz and Kakarot are pretty casual with him and call him names like “boss” or “Geets”, which annoys Vegeta. He also hates how he turns out to be the shortest among his team of giants. Also, after being forced into being a child king, held hostage, and having his world and people mercilessly slaughtered, Vegeta is (understandably) hell bent on killing Frieza himself. He also strives to rebuilding his kingdom to its former glory and becoming the strongest king there ever was.

Raditz is a sarcastic (not so) little shit and the stressed, tired older sibling of Kakarot. He always picks on his idiot little brother and bemoans about constantly looking after him (but let’s face it he does care about his baby brother). He himself is a hot mess who somehow gets into trouble a lot and loves chaos (when it’s done to someone that’s not him, that is).

Ah, Kakarot…he’s essentially still our beloved goofball himbo. He aspires to being a great warrior and may come off as intimidating due to his strength, gruff appearance, and wild nature at first, but Kakarot is surprisingly friendly, kind-hearted, and not as gung-ho on killing as most Saiyans would be. He’s laid-back, happy-go-lucky, and loves a good time. To him, the whole team is his family and his idea of a mission is exploring like he’s on a fun field trip. Kakarot is weaker than his teammates and his demeanor doesn’t make it any easier, so he’s seen and treated as the runt of the bunch. He makes up for it with his loyalty and hard-work ethic. If he is intimidated or attacked, he will fight. He also doesn’t like being mocked. Kakarot tries to be an ideal Saiyan, scary and tough as nails, but his good nature always somehow comes out.

Nappa is basically the Team Dad. He trains and looks after Vegeta, Raditz, Kakarot, and Broly from young ages (so it’s no wonder he ends up bald as a melon so soon). He’s essentially a more butch version of Ginyu; rough but still very flamboyant. He would exercise to The Village People and kick back and happily watch his boys raze a whole city. As you can guess, he’s not a very responsible parental figure.

Broly is the newest recruit and the wild card. He normally keeps to himself and is very quiet, so when chaos erupts (as it almost always does) he usually just watches or casually plays a small part. He’s just glad to be a part of something. But by no means is he all that harmless. If he’s called into action or when things get hairy, you might want to start running. He’s basically a nuclear bomb crossed with an elephant.

The Saiyans come across Earth by happenstance. Kakarot crash lands there after being chased by Frieza’s men. His pod and scouter are both badly damaged in the wreck, so he explores around while finding a way off the planet or at least contact his squad. Along the way, he finds the four star dragon ball. He doesn’t know what it is but he thinks it’s neat and it reminds him of Planet Sadala. He does also get chased after by Frieza scouts and encounters the Red Ribbon Army (who are attracted by his new souvenir and they steal his totaled pod). With all the havoc going on around him, he of course attracts the attention of the Z Fighters (Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, Krillin, Roshi, and Bulma).

Kakarot does cross paths with the Ox King & Chichi also and an accidental marriage proposal still takes place, but Kakarot doesn’t understand it at first because Saiyans do not practice marriage and are not that familiar with ‘dating’, ‘boyfriends/girlfriends’, ‘husbands/wives’ or weddings (the closest they have is a very small formal ceremony practiced only by Saiyan royalty). When it’s explained to him and Kakarot realizes he’s technically chosen Chichi as his mate, he’s…thrilled. She’s a cute princess who can use a giant fan as a weapon like it’s nothing and she’s a hell of a cook. She’s pretty much his dream girl.

There’s also Vegebul & Launchitz, but I might go into detail in another post.

On a random, fun note, Nappa and Master Roshi strangely become sort of friends. They’re both bald senseis and they love exercise videos (Roshi for perverted reasons, Nappa actually does like them for fun exercise)
