4	''Dragon Ball Zero: The Origin of Raditz'' is a short ''doujinshi'' by [[Creator/{{Toyotaro}} Toyble]], published in the 2000's.
5
6	It is the story on how Raditz met Nappa and Vegeta after Raditz's team (formed by [[Anime/DragonBallZTheTreeOfMight Turles]] and [[CanonForeigner Rychelo]]) was ambushed by Freeza's soldiers.
7
8	This is one of the very few mangas known by Creator/{{Toyotaro}} before he became part of the creative staff of ''Manga/DragonBallSuper''. Is largely OutdatedByCanon, however, due to implementing material from the [[NonSerialMovie movies]].
9
10	Not to be confused with [[Fanfic/DragonBallZero a fanfic of the same name]].
11
12	----
13	!! This doujinshi presents the following tropes:
14	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Bardock was a cold-blooded soldier in ''Anime/DragonBallZBardockTheFatherOfGoku'', with him not caring about his son Kakarot (and implying he doesn't have a high opinion on Raditz either). In here, Bardock treats Raditz nicely, and even gives him part of his equipment telling him that next time they'll fight together. [[DoomedByCanon It doesn't happen.]]
15	* AgeLift: Turles is a child in this version, and he was a member of Raditz's squad. [[AllThereInTheManual In Daizenshuu]] and ''Videogame/DragonBallXenoverse2'', Turles age is at least implied to be the same as Bardock, meaning he is old enough to be Raditz's uncle.
16	* BastardBastard: In a special released outside the main comic, its revealed Bardock had Turles with another woman. This scenario is PlayedForLaughs.
17	* CallForward:
18	** During a tournament in Planet Vegeta, Raditz's opponent grabs his tail and he begs for forgiveness, only to trick him by surprise and defeat him, just like he would eventually do in ''Anime/DragonBallZ''.
19	** A doctor tells Raditz' group of Kakarot being sent to a distant planet called Earth, with Turles even suggesting giving him a visit. Raditz refuses, "Who would ever want to go there?"
20	** Bardock goes [[Anime/DragonBallZBardockTheFatherOfGoku to planet Meat]]. Two Saiyans even say [[DoomedByCanon he is going to die young]].
21	* TheCameo: Many members of the Frieza Force like Appule and Cui make appearances.
22	* CanonForeigner: All the Saiyans introduced in this comic, alongside Raditz's team member Rycelo. [[DoomedByCanon They don't survive.]]
23	* CombatPragmatist: Raditz EstablishingCharacterMoment is tricking the opponent down while begging for mercy, and then Turles grabbing the kid's tail during a cloud of smoke giving Raditz an opening.
24	--> '''Raditz:''' Huh? There are no rules in war!
25	* ContinuitySnarl: The ''doujinshi'' has continuity issues regarding Raditz design. In the series lore, Saiyans are born with the same hairstyle from the moment they are born, but Raditz has bangs as a kid. This can be forgiven due to Vegeta's design [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness as a kid in the Z anime having the same problem]].
26	* ImpliedTrope: Turles has a normal skin color as a child, but this contradicts his gray skin in his movie. Toyble is implying the fruit may have something to do with his skin change.
27	* LackOfEmpathy: Raditz, being unaware of the situation, tells Nappa and Vegeta he needs to return to Planet Vegeta. Nappa and Vegeta grin and tell their whole race were annihilated by a large meteorite and then laugh about it.
28	* MythologyGag: Rychelo wears an orange bandana, the same as Pan in ''Anime/DragonBallGT.''
29	* TheStinger: Turles is revealed to be alive, holding [[Anime/DragonBallZTheTreeOfMight a spiky fruit.]]
