Garlic Jr. is an evil tyrant from the DragonBall Z series and first appeared in the original Dragon Ball Z movie "Ora no Gohan o Kaese!!", released in the U.S. as "Dead Zone". His father was imprisoned by Kami's in the realm of darkness, leaving Garlic Jr. with a deep feeling of resentment and desire for revenge. Though defeated, he later reappears in the anime in the gap between the Freeza and Trunks sagas, and battles once more against the combined efforts of Kuririn, Piccolo, and Gohan. The puns on the names of Garlic Jr. and those affiliated with him are fairly straight-forward; in this case they are all derivatives of spices. He oddly resembes Emperor Pilaf, only more evil and cunning. Image File history File links Garlic_Jr. ...

DBZ Movie 1: Ora no Gohan o Kaese!! (Return My Gohan!!)

A squat and off-putting looking dwarf, Garlic Jr. is the only villain in the DragonBall saga ever successfully granted eternal life by the Dragon Balls, which his trio of lackeys, Nicky, Ginger, and Sansho, had gathered from around the globe. In the process they kidnapped Gohan for the four-star ball sewn onto his cap and hurt Chi-Chi, thus earning the ire of Son Goku. Delirious with joy after the granting of his wish, Garlic Jr. is then accosted by Goku and Kami, and resolves to settle an old score with the latter. Many ages ago, it was Kami who defeated his father Garlic for the throne of Kami, vanquishing him and his demon hordes as a result. Now fearing nothing thanks to his newfound immortality, Garlic's son intended to return the favor.

While Garlic Jr. is preoccupied making good his grudge with Kami, Goku engages his minions, who bulk-up twice their size in the ensuing battle. Not long after Kuririn and Piccolo (whom had survived an earlier attack by the villain's underlings) make their appearance, and the three henchmen meet an early end. Piccolo literally sends Sansho through a roof for a painful death and Goku kills Nicky and Ginger with one directed blast, blowing them up into each other. Beset now by the combined might of Earth's greatest fighters, Garlic Jr. goes from miniature to gigantic, shifting into a brutish second form able to handle both Goku *and* Piccolo at once. It's a back-and-forth confrontation; being eternal the heroes can do no real damage to Garlic Jr., and Goku and Piccolo are too resilent to fall to any of the monster's attacks. Livid, Garlic Jr. opens up the portal known as the "Dead Zone", intending to suck his enemies into a void from whence they could never return. Upon seeing his father and friends in danger, the power latent within Gohan explodes, and enraged he attacks and overwhelms an awed Garlic Jr.. While he might live forever, Garlic Jr.'s powers are finite, and the young Saiyan knocks him into his own vortex to be trapped for all eternity.

Garlic Jr. Saga

Years later, Garlic Jr. escapes imprisonment after the source of his power, Makyo-sei (Planet Makyo), comes close in axis to Earth. Garlic Junior gathers his team of mercenary henchmen named the Spice Boys. The Spice Boys include Spice, Vinegar, Mustard, and Salt. Garlic Jr. then schemes to take control of Earth's population by use of the Black Water Mist, which caused those who breathed it in to become mindless slaves under his rule. If kept unchecked the mist's effects would be irreversable after twenty-four hours. When Kami and Mr. Popo investigate, they are captured, shrunk down, and trapped in glass bottles by Garlic Jr.'s henchmen. With only Gohan and Krillin left to fight for earth, Garlic Jr. and his cronies have a decisive advantage, especially since Piccolo was now a brainwashed servant under Garlic Jr.'s control. Complicating matters was Makyo-sei - orbiting ever closer towards Earth, it served to amplify Garlic Jr. and his henchmen's already considerable power. Mr. ...

A fight ensues in Kami's lookout between Gohan, Krillin, and the Spice Boys. When Krillin is damaged in the fight, Gohan practically goes berserk and obliterates Mustard and Salt with extremely powerful blasts. At this point, Piccolo is seen to be a rival and has presumably been turned into a slave of Garlic Jr. As Piccolo begins to attack Gohan, Krillin tries to intervene, only to be bitten by Piccolo and be taken over by the mist himself. However, this is all a ruse. When Piccolo - who was immune to the mist all along - bit Krillin, he told him to act as if he was possessed as well, so they could get in arm's reach of the bottles containing Kami and Mr. Popo. Krillin and Piccolo begin their assault against Gohan, and when Garlic Jr. tires of the show and instructs them to finish him off, they instead smash the bottles, releasing them both.

With the advantage and hostages lost, Garlic Jr. again converts to his second form. Spice and Vinegar also pump up their bodies thanks to the power of the Makyo star. At the same time, Kami and Mr. Popo make their way into the inside of the lookout, to use Sacred Water to reverse the effects of the Black Water Mist. En route to the opening at the bottom of the lookout (where all the four winds of Earth blow) the former guardians confront Kami and begin to assail him. Above, Piccolo (who is linked to Kami) starts to lose strength as a result of the beating, and Garlic Jr. gains the upper-hand. In the meantime, Spice and Vinegar manage to topple Krillin with ease and this ignites Gohan's anger once more, resulting in a chaotic battle between Gohan and the two henchmen at the same time. Gohan releases a seismic two-sided blast which makes both Spice and Vinegar explode at the same time in midair. As the battle progresses, Garlic Jr. reopens the Dead Zone, with Kami and Mr. Popo successfully being granted access to the Sacred Water and nullifying the Black Water Mist's effect on Earth. No longer handicapped by Kami's pain, Piccolo regains the ability to fight, and he and Krillin fly up to meet Garlic Jr. and distract him. Gohan then fires an energy blast into Makyo-sei, destroying it and leaving an emaciated and powerless Garlic Jr. to fall prey to his Dead Zone once again, this time with no hope for return.

Place in canon

Despite being the only movie villain featured in his own saga, Garlic Jr. is thought very little of by some of the series' fans, as he is not present in Akira Toriyama's original manga and is instead a brainchild of Toei Animation. As such there is much conjecture over the rightful place of Garlic Jr. in franchise canon. Unlike fellow movie villains such as Coola, Broly, Bojack, and Janemba he has yet to make an appearance in a recent video game, with the Legacy of Goku series once again skipping his saga entirely. However, it has been confirmed that he is a playable character in the upcoming game Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2.
