Ratiz is the first villain in the Dragon Ball world from outside the earth, and is also a key character who leads to the Super Saiyan setting, but fans' familiarity with him is more due to the "Battle Five Scum", as for his personal strength, it is basically tacitly recognized as "saiyan shame".
In fact, however, in Akira Toriyama's original vision, he tried to portray Ratiz as a supervillain similar to Frieza. For example, the title of the episode where he appeared described Ratiz as follows: "The strongest warrior in history is Goku's brother."
In the plot, Latiz's performance can not be described as dazzling, when Piccolo and Goku are recognized as the strongest on earth, but in front of Ratiz, there is no way to fight back, one to two is also replaced, enough to see how strong he is.
In a personal interview, Akira Toriyama also admitted that "Ratiz's initial positioning was that of a superior warrior, and his combat strength at birth was much higher than that of Goku", and it is for this reason that he has the opportunity to become a follower of Prince Vegeta.
The early performance is eye-catching, the birth level is noble, no matter from which point of view, Latiz takes the script that the protagonist has, so what is the reason that causes him to mix himself into a comedian in the later stage?
01
The weakness is too obvious
In the world of Dragon Ball, how to measure whether a character is strong or weak? In addition to the hard indicator of combat effectiveness, whether there is a weakness is also a key point that cannot be ignored. For example, the early Bick Demon King, punching Goku, kicking the turtle immortal, the master of heaven and earth was beaten by him over and over again, the style was full, but once he encountered the magic seal wave, it instantly changed, and this key weakness directly pulled down his average score per game.
The same goes for Ratiz. There were three Saiyans who had appeared with him (counting Goku), and everyone else had realized the weakness of the tail and focused on the exercise, only Latiz let go of this fatal flaw, and the result was obviously a tailwind, but was caught by the witty Bik and defeated with one blow.

Reference
If it is just a shortcoming of the tail, we can say at best that Latiz is not strong, but he definitely cannot reach the level of "waste wood", and what really nails Latiz to the column of shame is the evaluation of two teammates.
Naba's assessment was simple and crude: he bluntly said that Ratiz was a "useless man, on par with cannon fodder vegetable men", and as for Vegeta, he didn't even bother to mention his name, as if he had never existed.
Therefore, through their saying, it is difficult for fans to associate Ratiz with the strong, and the impression of him will completely stay at the level of "tool man" and "miscellaneous soldiers", coupled with the wide spread of the "five scum of war", Largo basically has nothing left except funny.
In fact, objectively speaking, although Latiz's strength is not as anti-heavenly as Khlong Bei, it is not particularly poor, at least in the cloud-like Frieza Army, it can also be mixed with the position of a senior combatant, coupled with the setting of the superior warrior, as long as Nu works hard, it is still expected to be promoted to the level of the big villain, but he does not work hard in the later stage, and he did not catch the right time to play, delaying the great future.
