InDragon Ball: Sparking Zero, one of the biggest battles early on is Goku’s face-off with his brother Raditz. This is the moment that kicks off Goku’s journey in theDragon Ball Zuniverse, and it’s full of iconic moments.
If players want to unlock special alternate story branches for Goku, likeSide by SideandPushing Limit, they’ll need to beat Raditz fast. The game gives two ways to face him: as Goku alone, or teamed up with Piccolo, and both options lead to different ways of handling the fight. Here’s how to get to the Raditz fight and the best strategies for winning it quickly.
How to Reach Raditz’s Fight in Sparking Zero
Even though Raditz’s fight is relatively early on inSparking Zero, it isn’t exactly easy, especially for players aiming to unlock Goku’s alternate story paths. The choice ofwhether to team up with Piccolo or fight solochanges how you’ll need to fight.
In the missionRaditz vs. The Turtle School, you get two options: go solo as Goku or have Piccolo fight by your side. If you’re able to handle a challenge and go in solo, there’s no time limit, which makes it a little easier since you only need to beat Raditz without any time constraints.
If you team up with Piccolo, there’s a catch. Since Piccolo has a pretty big role in the main story’s cannon path, you’ll need to defeat Raditz fast. Specifically, you’ll have to finish the battle in under 1 minute and 30 seconds to get the alternate story branches.

When time’s up, Piccolo steps in, meaning you’ll miss the chance to branch off into alternate storylines, and get cut off from a lot of content. So be careful with the timer.
Best Strategy to Beat Raditz Quickly in Sparking Zero
Whether you’re going in solo or with Piccolo, the strategy is pretty important. Most importantly, charging your Ki is a must. Once you’re powered up, switch to Sparking Mode, which lets you hit Raditz with rapid attacks.
Stay close to Raditz for the best results because he’s pretty good at dodging long-range hits. Use Dashes to close in quickly whenever he gains some distance. When Raditz is knocked down, go for the Super Kamehameha, which can deal a huge chunk of damage.

If you’re fighting alongside Piccolo, every second counts. There’s no time to waste on moves like Solar Flare since they don’t do much against Raditz and just eat up your time.
The goal here is to defeat Raditz before the clock runs out to unlock those alternate branches for Goku. While Meteor Smashes and the regular Kamehameha are decent options, don’t rely on them too much as they can leave you low on Ki for the Super Kamehameha when you need it most. Only use them if you’re running out of time and need extra damage.
With a few attempts using this strategy, it should be pretty easy to take down Raditz inDragon Ball: Sparking Zeroand unlock Goku’s alternate story paths.
