** Raditz when compared to his canonical counterpart, though this could also be attributed to him being {{The Hero}}.

->''"Yahuh, I think you can do a lot of good Raditz, you're really strong." ~Son Goku, Chapter One''

Now complete.

* WorldOfCardboardSpeech: Son Goku does a hybrid version of his "Hope of the Universe Speech" against Frieza.
** Vegeta uses his in his tournament match with Goku and again in his resistance to Babidi's Majin spell.

** Son Gohan does not allow his fatherly duties with Pan stop his scholarly or heroic duties.

Anyone who has ever sat down and watched Dragon Ball knows of Raditz, the first villain of the Z-arc and brother to main character Son Goku. Ill-fated he died at the hands of his brother and rival Piccolo to spare the Earth and save Goku's son, Son Gohan. What-if that was not the case though and Son Goku grew strong enough before Raditz arrived to not only defeat his brother but also recruit Raditz to the cause of Earth's defense? ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9582102/1/Destiny-Shattered Destiny Shattered]]'', a ''Manga/DragonBall'' fanfiction by Herodan3 revolves around that very idea

!![Destiny Shattered] contains examples of:

* {{Absurdly Sharp Blade}}: Trunks' Brave Sword. [[spoiler: Goku Black's Energy Sword]]. Vegetto's Spirit Sword.
* {{Action Dad}}: As with canon children do not slow down the likes of Son Goku or Vegeta, unless their children are directly involved. Raditz follows the same path after the birth of his sole child.

* {{Action Girl}}: Over the later course of the story [[spoiler:Bra and Pan]] along with several other characters embody this trope as they engage in equally fierce battles as their male counterparts.
* {{A Day in the Limelight}}: Yamcha has a miniarc in the Sayonara Saga.

* {{Always on Duty}}: The main cast, being the defenders of Earth have this happen numerous times. The most prolific being [[spoiler:when Frieza's Army returns for the Dragon Balls]] and the cast has to fight at four o'clock in the morning.

* BeatTheCurseOutOfHim: Raditz against Majin [[spoiler: Turles]]. Arguably applicable to the trope {IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight}

* {{CurbStompBattle}}: Pretty common with the villainous fodder characters, Tien versus Nappa, Vegeta against Cui, Raditz against Recoome, Super Saiyan Two Gohan against Perfect Cell, Raditz, Gohan, and Vegeta against untold amounts of Frieza Soldiers. Numerous others through the read.

** Vegeta uses his in his tournament match with Goku and again in his resistance to Babidi's Majin spell.

** Another example is during the Tournament of Power, after a grueling tournament every combatant has to engage in an all-out war with [[spoiler: the rouge Grand Priest and his other Angel children]].

* {{CurbStompBattle}}: Pretty common with the villainous fodder characters, Tien versus Nappa, Vegeta against Cui, Raditz against Recoome, Super Saiyan Two [[spoiler:Gohan]] against Perfect Cell, Raditz, Gohan, and Vegeta against untold amounts of Frieza Soldiers. Numerous others through the read.

* DareToBeABadass: Raditz staring down Bojack upon obtaining[[spoiler: Super Saiyan Two]] after Gohan falls in battle.

* {{Dare to Be A Badass}}: Raditz staring down Bojack upon obtaining[[spoiler: Super Saiyan Two]] after Gohan falls in battle.

* {{Blood Knight}}: Son Goku and the other Saiyans encompass this trope quite thoroughly through their inbred lust for battle. However, it becomes clearer later on that even some Gods of Destruction carry this trait as well like [[spoiler: Universe Eight's OC expy God of Destruction Yato]].

* TheCalvary: During the Shadow Dragons Saga, Gods of Destruction from several Universes arrive to give their best aid to overcome the multiverse's largest threat.

** Raditz when compared to his canonical counterpart, though this could also be attributed to him being {{The Hero}}.

* BadAss: Vegeta, [[spoiler: Turles]], Raditz, Super Saiyan Two Gohan. It's Dragon Ball-based so there are others but these four embody the trope the best.

* Badass: Vegeta, [[spoiler: Turles]], Raditz, Super Saiyan Two Gohan. It's Dragon Ball-based so there are others but these four embody the trope the best.
