Because this thread is naturally very angry and Rob's presence acts as a 400x anger multiplier.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!It gives Raditz a legitimate reason to know who Goku is, and why he decides to find him. Just making it a random Saiyan wouldn't have the same effect.
Plus, it just highlights how evil Saiyans are - they don't even care about killing their family members.
The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!Also, if the hero has a brother on the other team, that brother is usually a rival to the hero and an important character. I honestly think that subverting that trope is pretty cool.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!It's actually quite cool that, while Raditz is Goku's brother, that didn't stop him from being a complete weakling compared to Nappa and Vegeta. I hate it when they make it seem like Goku's bloodline is "special" somehow (I'm looking at you, Episode of Bardock!). Goku gets too much praise as it is!
The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!In Dragon Ball, Goku's always had shit genes. I like the fact that in the Father of Goku special, Goku was not only not born as a super powerful baby, but he was in fact born pathetically weak.

I'd actually place Krillin at around 100,000 since his power level was over 75,000 partway through the Freeza fight and he trained for three years for the Androids.
Also, this means that Goku had a power level of over 75,000 when he fought Roshi at the 21st Budoukai and it was even higher during the 22nd yet dropped like a stone to 416 for Raditz.
Can you give us a source for that? That's bullshit even by Toriyama's standards.

:
..I'm rather glad it looks like nothing more than Toriyama making a joke. You'll notice the infamous "Golden Freeza is 15 quintillion" pun at the bottom of the interview.
Do recall the average grunt solider in Frieza's army had a power level barely breaking 2000, Roshi would only need to have gotten to 10,000, over the course of 20 years, in order to do what he did, if the Namekians being able to kick their asses were anything to go by.
Let's see if you can get past my Beelzemon. Mephiles, WARP SHINKA!

Why does this thread always become an angry mob?
