I'll be taking some time away to get Chapter 4 drafted and create a new buffer, but it shouldn't be too long before the new chapter starts up again! Big thanks for everyone following me, and extra huge thanks to my supporters on Patreon, who really give me the financial incentive to keep these new pages coming!
Also as of last page, we've hit over 50 pages! That's so awesome :D Gotta aim for the triple digits next!

It would be funny if Piccolo still blows up the moon to stop Gohan from going ape shit. Leaving Raditz, Tien and Launch confused on what the hell happened to the moon and who blew it up.
Was about to say the same.
I think Raditz hasn't tought this through and is acting out of desperation: on one side, his fellow comrades and people of his same race have tossed him away, on the other hand, his saiyan pride is not allowing him to side with the earthlings, so in his mind I think the oozaru is what will pull him out of his situation.
However, he may have never transformed under an injury that serious so I think it's a gamble on his part.
Well I know how this is going to end…Raditz is going to cause a bunch of chaos for a bit then all of the sudden the moon is going to explode. Not from Tien but Piccolo who also at that moment Gohan will have transformed too.
you know you dont have to make it so detailed, if you look at the original Z manga its not that detailed and still ppl love it, it might save you time and effort. And i do love it, everything is awesome. You are a gifted one :)
I think I got the plot
Raditz will find SonGohan tranformed into a giant ape and is amazed with his power and sees Picollo destroying the moon. and figures that if uses them to destroy the other two Sayens then he might survive
I am so happy to see this project back! I put it down after the hiatus mid way through Chapter 2. Was scared to return to no progress but this makes my day : )
I think what might happen here is that Piccolo instantly destroys the moon.
It's night, Gohan is probably sleeping and there's no way he wouldn't keep an eye on Raditz, given he doesn't trust the Z warriors' decision to keep him alive.
Best Fanmanga i have seen lately besides new hope, i really like the concept. I hope we have more pages on november but if you have to take your time we understand, keep up the good work👍
i never know how much to expect with this comic/manga but damn it really is one of the most interesting things im keeping tabs on lately. many people can do great art- but captivation is much harder
Raditz can't be that stupid
I mean we know how much he thinks of himself as the current strongest on earth, but what guarantee Vegeta won't just kill him for sake of secrecy over his balls
I mean, Raditz is 15 times weaker than Vegeta, how could he possibly stop him? And if Vegeta gets immortality, that would be even more pointless. His best bet should be either to lay low OR conquer the planet to exchange it as a gift to Vegeta, hoping that's enough to have his life spared.
Possibly the later
Vegeta killed nappa over an sucker punch powered by kaioken . Which Nappa had no idea it was even possible, despite him being usefull and capable of getting stronger after that.
He is an pure evil saiyan and even if beting on his good will would the last possible chance of survival, the best scenario is to either run to fight another day or go out as an saiyan
Raditz is either in denial or extremely close to Goku in stupidity levels
just found out about i find this comic, i expected it to be longer idk why, either way, FUCKING AMAZING WTF🙌🙌, made an account in this just so i could subscribe to this comic
Seriously, i can't thank you enough to make an entire series about my favorite character. You're so gifted and I'm loving to read your work. I sincerely wish you the best and may this web comic influences something in the future.
I wish people working at DBS were as incredible and passioned as you are. Please don't stop just yet !
I love your work. What a great artistic level. Hopefully you develop the link between ten shin han and lunch, something Toriyama didn't do. And please don't let Lunch end up with Raditz as happened in other manga fans. Let him form a family with Ten and Chaoz. :)

There’s a reason why he’s alone canonically. He’s not interested in anyone. Even in Super they toyed with another girl that’s into martial arts and he wasn’t interested either. At this point, he’s either asexual or gay with Chiaotzu
Remember that it is a series for children, no character is sexualized. Vegeta with Bulma doesn't even look at her. Goku doesn't know she's a woman. It was simply never shown what Ten does on his long journeys. A series could be made for him and Chaoz. And Lunch and Ten quietly had romantic moments during the time of the Piccolo saga. But it is a children's series, from an author who does not give rise to romance.
Except Master Roshi and Krillin, no character shows interest in girls in a sexual way. Your theory of Ten in a relationship with Chaoz, who could be more of a son than anything else, is quite strange.
I agree with PerfectHate here and I hope Js pairs Raditz with Launch. Tien has never shown any interest to Launch ever, to the point that, in the canon, she gave up. She's only seen once in the Buu saga, where she seemingly works as a truck driver, far away from where Tien and Chaotzu live.
Given her character, Launch is the perfect bride for a saiyan, so it's only fitting to pair her with Raditz, while also giving her justice, and not forget her like Tory did.
Those of us who became fond of Ten and watched the entire series from the 80s until now will always want Lunch's wish to be with Ten to be fulfilled. If it doesn't happen here, I hope it happens in some other production. It would be a shame
That character is not Toriyama's, he doesn't really exist. It would be good if this story was something different, that it was totally new, and far from another fan's creation.
Raunch is a character that only exists in MasakoX's "what if Raditz turned good" series, it's an original character of his that doesn't exist anywhere else, and JsCandyHell most likely will have other plans.
That said, I'm not fond of Tien x Launch, the guy never showed any kind of interest towards her (and women in general), he's just not interested in any romantic relationship ever, his mind is only filled with martial arts. It's not a healthy relationship for her, and I was glad it hasn't developed.
Meanwhile, Launch's character makes her the perfect bride for a saiyan, so I think there couldn't be a more perfect fit than her for Raditz.
Ten shin han is not a healthy relationship you say? What if it is with Raditz? A murderer, conqueror of worlds and kidnapper of children. Anyway, something new will happen here, whatever the page creator wants. But since here Raditz would transform into someone more human and sensitive, Ten Shin Han could easily change his outlook on Lunch as well. Be more affectionate. (In fact, he saved her life in these pages, Ten a Lunch, and it was incredible) Understand that almost no character in Dragon Ball is affectionate. You would have to leave many single people with your theory. Even Goku, Vegeta, etc. So it will be what JsCandyHell wants and imagines doing. Ultimately everything will be fine, he is a great artist and what he decides will be great.
Sorry for the late reply. About Raditz, I guess I'm biased by MasakoX's version which depicts a sayian good and caring when it comes to family, but that doesn't have the pride and edgyness that Vegeta has (and makes me not like him). So, if Raditz actually turns into that, I think he'll be a way better fit than Tien can ever be for Launch, and I personally have a much harder time imagining Tien changing.
Anyway, I agree that everything Js will come up with will be fine .
My man, where are we with the next chapter and page? Im having trouble with accessing you info on discord, and Im dying to see how Raditz and Launch “pan” out
Well...that was interesting. A lot of people these days overdo it on the whole comedy thing thanks to TFS, but any "comedy" in here was brief and didn't take away from the main plot.
It kept within the flow and none of the characters felt exaggerated either. It was refreshing to see someone take shit seriously for once.
I really like this and where it's going. A lot of it feels more Dragon Ball and less "yea but I don't like the way they are in Canon so I use my headcanon to completely change the characters without reason"
You'd be surprised how many people do that and go overboard. The art is also exceptional, simplistic too and there's no "i rushed this cuz" excuse too.
You take your time and I find that highly valuable. A rare commodity.
Stumbled across this from a random Youtube video. And honestly? Toriyama would be proud. Super well written, art is fantastic, and the character personalities are spot on. Phenomenal work!
"It shouldn't be too long" Exactly 9 months later (I just realized that your wife is still pregnant, my dumb ass thought she gave birth a while ago)
By the way that last panel looks awesome
I actually really like the take on this looking forward to seeing his oozaru form maybe even making it his niche technique (skull tree) every other sayan seem to trade off their ape form for ss I would like to see raditz stick to the roots
I saw some Raditz fanart and that prompted me to check this comic again. Sad to not see updates, but I do hope this will continue one day. Either way, seems like this has permanently lodged itself into some recess of my brain, and I don't think there's a much better compliment towards someone's art.
I really hope I'm alive one day to see the continuation of this story. Seriously, the idea is fantastic. Raditz is a beloved character for many, and there are so many fanarts. People would really like to continue seeing the trajectory and development of this character. I saw that the author was about to become a father and therefore paused the project, so I simply forgot about the comic for a while, but I came back a year later. It was like a snap: "Hey, there's that Raditz comic! I wonder if the new chapter came out!" But then I came here and saw that it hasn't. What a bummer. I really hope the author is doing well.
they are currently taking care of their newborn child, they probably won't post again for a while but as far as I know they plan on posting more when they are able
This was starting off like a fantastic story only to be forgotten about sadly... It's hard to follow great stories as so many get discarded out of the blue...
if you're letting AI draw, it's easier, but then you're not drawing it anymore, so you can't say you're drawing it. and if you spend time asking AI for stroyboards and then properly drawing yourself, i'm not sure you can really call this "much" easier. it's just a bit easier, maybe.
You've clearly never drawn in your life if you think this. Digital art has more convenience than physical, like layers and the ability to undo, but you still have to do 100% of the work yourself. You can't stare at a blank canvas and wait for it to make the art for you. Compared to AI, which removes all human touch and input - beyond a vague idea that anyone could come up with. Good art lies in execution, not concept, and AI can never execute anything at a level beyond "good enough" when compared to the stolen art it's been trained to chew up and regurgitate.
The pen needs your arm to move to draw it. The software needs your arm to move to draw it. The AI doesn't need you to move to draw it. just a prompt and some computation time to draw something that probably respects your criteria. I've tried openAI a bit and sometimes even a simple correction task was apparently understood by the ai but the next image generated still had the exact same problem i just asked to be fixed. Which is why you can't say you gain much time, because you must spend a lot of time sometimes on fixing 1 error and praying it stays so when you try to make it fix the next ones.
Ai isn't reliable for drawings. it's only reliable for drafts. to get a basic scene planted before you actually properly draw. also AI sucks with perspective. I guess it having no eyes makes it hard to grasp the concept.
you should be put in a sock, swung around, and slammed against a wall until you are a red paste, I hope the most beloved person in your life expires slowly and painfully while you have to sit and watch
Absolutely, it's great for filling out stuff and visualizing early concepts. It gives you more time to be creative and focus on ideas, but you spend most time editting whatever they generate :')
seriously you morons, there's a comment a few lines above from february saying this will restart in july. why cry about poor abandonned doujin when real fans have known for a few months already the hiatus is ending in a couple months ?
monkeys. but not oozarus.
No worries, J said he would be back soon although not giving a specific date, his most recent update as of February says “ I know it's been an absurd hiatus. I still very much plan on coming back to it, Right now I've picked up freelance work that I think you guys will also be excited about, once I'm able to talk about it 👀” that freelance work to my knowledge was the Gamoverse Pilot on YouTube! J hasn’t forgotten us I’m certain!
how so ? Define "too long" objectively. no actually don't bother, you could really try... you can't. it's a matter of appreciation, and it's why it's often said that way. Because using a precise duration or date is the worst you could do, because then people could really say you didn't keep your word.
The dude hasn't posted a page for 2 years. ok. that's on par with DB super, and that's an official manga. doesn't feel that long, so.
So no, it's not the biggest lie ever, since it's not even a lie at all.
try aiming for lies from politicians, such as those stupid enough to tell their people the tariffs on imports will be paid by the foreigners... bwahahaha i can't stay serious every time i hear such bullshit xD i guess you must be truly ignorant of how economy works to say it with a straight face...
also, if you truly feel like it's been a long time, there are other doujins available on the web. don't stay here doing nothing when you could be reading better stuff released more regularly. that'd be stupid. and sad. use your time wisely.
You're a Guest named Guest, like a crazy amount of others. Absolutely no chance he was talking to you specifically. and if he was, no one has any way to prove it, not even you, nor even him. That's why you should at least use a proper nickname if you're gonna post more than a single comment.
I'll be taking some time away to get Chapter 4 drafted and create a new buffer, but it shouldn't be too long before the new chapter starts up again!
