If Raditz survived in fanfiction, he would likely have a complex relationship with Goku. He might start to see the value in Goku's way of life. Goku could try to reform him, and Raditz could slowly become a more positive force in the Dragon Ball Z universe.
Raditz could be redeemed by sacrificing himself for the greater good. For example, if there was a powerful enemy threatening the Earth and he steps in to take a fatal blow meant for someone else, like Gohan or Goku.
Family ties are a key element. Since they are brothers, fanfictions often explore their complex relationship, like how they deal with their Saiyan nature versus the influence of Earth. For example, in some, Goku tries to make Raditz understand the importance of protecting the planet.
One great fanfiction could be 'Raditz's Redemption'. It shows Raditz in a different light, exploring his potential for good. The author gives him a more complex personality, not just the one - dimensional villain he was in the original. Another interesting one is 'Raditz Among Friends' where he forms unexpected alliances and learns about friendship, which is a far cry from his solitary and aggressive nature in the series.
In this fanfiction scenario, Gine's meeting with Goku and Raditz could be filled with various emotions. Maybe Gine is overjoyed to see Goku, her long - lost son. And when it comes to Raditz, there could be a sense of family reunion despite their past differences. It could be a moment of shock and then warm acceptance as they all come to terms with their relationships.
One common theme is redemption. Since Raditz is initially a villain in the Dragon Ball series, many fanfictions focus on how a female character can bring about his redemption. For example, through her kindness and understanding.
There might be a fanfiction where Raditz survives and teams up with Goku against a new, more powerful enemy. They have to put aside their differences and learn to work together. Raditz could start to respect Goku's strength and his way of life.
In a good Raditz fanfiction, the author should take advantage of Raditz's unique abilities and status as a Saiyan. They could explore how he could use his powers for good instead of just destruction. The story should also have a consistent tone, whether it's more comical or serious, and should have well - written interactions with other Dragon Ball characters to really bring the story to life.
The plot could involve Naruto being trained by some Saiyan techniques due to his relation to Raditz. He could face enemies that are much stronger than the usual foes in the Naruto world. And perhaps he has to hide his Saiyan side from his friends in Konoha at first, fearing their reaction.
