Goku's (Kakarot, Kakarrot) saiyan brother. He is a first class warrior, presumably making him stronger than "lower-class" saiyans like Tarble and Goku. and makes his first appearance in the first episode of Dragonball Z (DBZ for short). His name is a pun on Radish.
Raditz is a typical saiyan, he's naturally violent in nature, and his evil becomes even more clear as the series goes on. When he shows up, he is the strongest fighter on earth, and non of the Z Warriors had a chance against him alone. However Piccolo and Goku join forces momentarily to help stop him. He meets his end when Goku has him in a hold from behind, and having being weakened by Gohan's earlier attack (a flying, head-on (literally) attack while his power level was 1,370)), he is unable to break free.
As you might have guessed, Goku sacrifices himself to kill Raditz. He is killed with Piccolo's "Special Beam Canon" attack and it goes right through Raditz as well as Goku, killing them both.

A synonym for weak, coined by Team 4 Star's series Dragon Ball Z Abridged. The term was first used in context by Vegeta and Nappa who repeatedly use Raditz as a measure for "weak."
"Raditz . . . Raditz . . . guy who's as strong as a cyber man says 'what'!"
"They're artificial life forms, all with the same power level as Raditz. That's right, he was sooo weak, we could actually grow Raditzes!"
Scouter Output: {Gohan: .8 Raditz, Piccolo: 1.2 Raditz. Krillian: .9 Raditz}
"Nappa here is worth 5 Raditz, and I am worth 15 Raditz."
"Hey don't get so down. At least you've proven that your Raditz is still stronger than our Raditz."
"He was sooo weak, sooooooo weak, that he was beaten, by something with the equivalent power level-- as Raditz!"

The correct term used in place of awesome, sick, tight, off-the-chain, spectacular, etc. It was so good Dragonball Z had to use it without permission. Anyway, unintelligent people tend to use the term "rad" which does not fully capture the freakin awesomness of the word. Can be used to describe virtually anything, meaning almost, almost, almost anything.
"Bruh, I am going with Bernie to Prom....Raditz man, so tight!"
"Eghe's party is going to be so Raditz man, of the wall!"

The lowest quality weed out there. Comprised almost entirely of stems and seeds. Avoid at all costs.
Khari: Hey, did you hear Joe Jenkins started dealing?
Sam: Don't cop from that guy, he'll try to sell you raditz weed.
