Raditz Or Nappa

[Yoshi]

If you could choose one to become a Z Fighter alongside Goku and Vegeta, which would you choose?

I would choose Nappa since I have a hard time imagining a scenario where Raditz doesn’t die on Earth. All Vegeta has to do is take Nappa back to a healing pod and heal him up.

Nappa is technically a high class saiyan, so he has the same type of upward potential as Vegeta.

Radditz is not an anomaly like his brother, and Bardock b4 the retcon was the same way.

I think Raditz would have better characterization with Goku considering the brother dynamic so I'd go with him.
