Hasn't it been said that Raditz was already a fluffy cloud soul thingy when that happened. The joke was that Yemma stopping him is less impressive when you know that.
Unless it's never been stated what Raditz's physical state was when that happened.
That being said, if he kept his body, that means Nappa, Cui, Dodoria, Zarbon, the Ginyu's (not counting their appearance in the Manga), Frieza, 19, 20, Cell, etc all kept theirs, and they would have rofl-stomped Yemma.
Fixed that for you.
My bill will be in the mail.

One Strip! One Strip!I think it's a portmanteau of "sassy" and the sound a monkey makes.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!Sasuke is The Rival in Naruto. From what I can tell, no one on these forums like him as a character. I don't have an opinion, because I'm not really into Naruto.
The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!Sasuke and his entire family are largely considered to be the biggest Plot Tumor in Naruto. I wouldn't quite go that far but I can't say I think his or the Uchihas' prominence in general served the story well.

Sasuke is an inverted Vegeta.
He starts off as the The Rival and is best friends with the protagonist and then starts becoming more of an asshole and villain as the story progresses with some jumping and forward from dark grey to gray and back to the point that he becomes the final villain in a sense. In the end, he becomes a good guy. Still an asshole though.
He ends up a Karma Houdini, gets a hot wife that he's treated badly for the entire run of the manga and has a daughter with her. Unlike Vegeta, he is an extremely poor parent though and husband as he ;eaves them for years at a time hence his daughter having a complex over him.

I like him for the lulz he provides me
The Uchihas are basically the Saiyans of the Narutoverse except instead of being Blood Knights, they're sensitive asshats with a tendency to go evil.

I'm actually surprised Vegeta became an at least somewhat competent father. But then again, he did have to watch his son die in front of him, so...
The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!I really want to see more Goten and Trunks. And more than just "they're a Cheerful Child and Bratty Half-Pint." Seriously, after the amount of development and screentime Gohan had, Goten and Trunks seem really underdeveloped by comparison.
The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!To put it in simplest terms:
Sasuke is what Vegeta would've been like if the story wasn't punishing him for being an asshole but instead rewarding more him the more selfish and evil he is.
To put it in perspective:
Everyone acknowledges that when he dies, Vegeta's going to go to hell, which he fully deserves, and even he understands that much.
In Sasuke's case, literally all he had to do to get away without punishment for being a deserter, murderer and international terrorist is to give the most insincere apology of all time.

himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariReally, I think Vegeta is a bad influence on shonen action that came after Dragon Ball, because a lot of people have tried to imitate his success and failed.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariPoor imitations missing the point is like the darker, malevolent cousin to "Seinfeld" Is Unfunny. Goku and Vegeta got hit with it pretty hard as shonen developed. It's not entirely an Eastern thing either, as Buffy The Vampire Slayer more or less invented the "Repentant Vampire Romance" despite having little in common with the genre.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Funny, Vegeta himself takes some traits from Raoh.

Watch SymphogearThe problem with a lot of modern shounen is that they all try to copy Dragon Ball in some way and basically all of them fail to capture why it was so great when Toriyama did it (Roshi and Vegeta are perfect examples of this). That's why I like finding shounen series that are only minimally influenced by Dragon Ball.

Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!Now that you mention it, Vegeta himself is actually my favorite Vegeta-type character in all the manga I've read. Byakuya Kuchiki's boring, Hiei's boring (Kurama's cool though), Sasuke is a walking Family-Unfriendly Aesop on top of being boring, and Roronoa Zoro (while he's not really a rival, he has a number of the same character traits), is easily the most boring member of the Straw Hats.
Part of it is that, well, Vegeta came first, and as such, we use him as a baseline to compare with others who fulfill his same role.
Another part is that a lot of mangaka try to 'one up' him by playing up the cool aspects of his character while minimizing his 'lame' aspects.
But the 'lame' aspects of Vegeta's character are what made him so entertaining to watch.
I don't care to see him when he's so on top of his game he gets vertigo, I want to see Freeza break him. I want to see Vegeta breaking down when he realizes that he's just a nuisance in front of the titans who are actually fighting. I want to see Vegeta getting the crap beat out of him so thoroughly that he begs the earthlings for assistance to use the Spirit Bomb.

It's amazing that Vegeta was introduced in chapter 204. That's almost halfway through the mangas run!
Also two interesting things I noticed why searching for his first appearance:
-King Yemma had to fight Raditz when the letter died. So I guess bad guy do keep their bodies.
-Vegeta is first shown eating some kind of intelligent humanoid being. That's just sick and wrong.
