Garlic Jr.

About

Garlic Jr. is a significant character in the Dragon Ball Z universe, known for his role as the main antagonist in the anime film Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone and the subsequent Garlic Jr. Saga. He is a demon with a deep-seated desire for revenge against Kami, who imprisoned his father in the realm of darkness. Garlic Jr.'s most notable achievement is using the Dragon Balls to gain immortality, a feat that eluded other villains like Vegeta and Frieza. Despite his immortality, Garlic Jr. can still feel pain and be physically harmed by powerful attacks. His powers are linked to the Makyo Star, which allows him to escape the Dead Zone and control the Black Water Mist, turning people into mindless slaves. The Garlic Jr. Saga is a filler arc that highlights Gohan's heroism alongside Piccolo and Krillin, offering a unique storyline between major arcs like Frieza and Cell. This saga showcases Garlic Jr.'s cunning and sadistic nature, contrasting with his comedic counterparts like Pilaf.
