Agreed with Larkmarn. He\'s got a very \"Japanese\" definition of \"pragmatic\" about him. That is to say, Goku wants to see what an opponent can do with all of their tools in place. Once those tools \'\'are\'\' in place, though, he very much feels that anything goes.
I would count Raditz (and the Saiyan Saga as a whole) as a case of EarlyInstallmentWeirdness, as that was before Toriyama started codifying shounen tropes. From Namek onwards, there was never a fight were a healthy Goku resorted to teaming to beat any villain. (Fusion doesn\'t count.)
Likewise, his fight with the Ginyu Force was framed as Recoome and Jeice having poor form. He attacked them because they were (in his own words) \"wide open\", which I take to mean that DBZ works on a principle that whenever a character like Frieza takes a million years to transform, they still somehow avoid leaving themselves open.
