I bet raditz would still have the same hair even in Oozaru form.

Watch SymphogearI chalked that up to Goku being less skilled and telegraphing his attack.
If you recall, King Piccolo was in the middle of his own attack when Goku used that move and couldn't really dodge —nor did he really try to; he went for trying to overpower it first, then trying to tank it because he probably was still underestimating Goku at that point— so him being hit by it may be excusable.
Mr. Popo dodged it as well. If you see it coming, it ain't all that great. That's what the scene with Mutaito was meant to show. Goku still had a lot to learn, even from someone weaker than him.
..... Or you could just write it off as filler bullshit, though I kinda like my way of looking at it better.
So would God Ozaru simply be classic Monkey King then?
Cause that would be quite the Mythology Gag.

No, it's because skill simply does not matter when you have a power gap like the one Goku had on Mutatio. The series was rather clear about this; Goku at that point could literally defeat Mutation with his finger. He could move faster than than Mutatio could see. It does not matter how skilled you are when that is the case.
And none of this so called skill helped him against King Piccolo, who Goku beat.
So yeah, just regular filler BS.

Goku beat Piccolo, yeah. But he was BARELY alive, as opposed to Mutatio, who was just...dead.
My various fanfics.Also recall, Mutaito beat Piccolo with a technique that had nothing to do with power.
He beat him by sealing him, not with raw strength.
Hell, why was Goku so beat up when he was actually stronger (or as strong as) Piccolo?
Cause the latter got smart and cheated by threatening Tien. Something that has nothing to do with power.
What makes you think Mutaito didn't have some kind of technique that let him follow Goku's movements and dodge him despite the fact that Goku should have pasted him?
In fact, for all my complaints about Power getting out of hand, technique is still important in Dragon Ball.
The Solar Flare proves that: useful from the moment it was introduced.

One Strip! One Strip!Yes. Because he was explicitly far too weak to win normally. One of the few times the weaker fighter won in the original DB (it happens much more often in DBZ), but it was just because of that one suicide technique.
Because he didn't have any of that so called skill against Piccolo, Goku's equal. He was explicitly far too weak to even fight him.

For the record, I checked out the Dragon Ball Wiki and this is what it states as far as Toriyama's involvement in GT is: "Akira Toriyama is credited as author in the ending credits of Dragon Ball GT; he oversaw the series' production, this was the same process that was used during the production of the anime series Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. He drew a rough design for the GT logo, he designed the GT appearance of the series main cast, and he designed the appearances of Giru and the GT spaceship used in the Black Star Dragon Ball Saga. He also drew at least three color pictures of Goku, Pan, and Trunks adventuring on various planets (Monmaasu, Rudeeze, and an area in Hell)."

Because God knows we can't have a woman who knows how to throw a punch.
Also, I like the idea that, since Bardock "might have had siblings," Turles and Goku are cousins.
My various fanfics.It's better than "we're lower-class saiyans, all lower-class saiyans look the same." Like they're grown in a vat.
My various fanfics....That's actually quite possible. If they have healing tanks, why not a few breeding tanks too? That would allow less Saiyans to be temporarily forced out of service for pregnancies.
It wouldn't surprise me if Frieza introduced a breeding program for expendable soilders. It's easy canon fodder.

Wait, I just remembered, all the OG Saiyans will get Super Saiyan 3.
The male berserker Saiyan has Radditz-like hair....
WHAT IS GONNA HAPPEN TO HIM...
