Summary: these are new episodes
Review: these are new episodes from the third season, yet to be aired on cartoon network. i've seen the movie "dead zone", which had garlic junior in it, and that was pretty sweet. he's got the frieza complex going on. he's a megalomaniac, and he stays in a small wimpy form, most of the time, hiding his true badass form.

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: Okay Video
Review: This was an okay video. The Garlic Jr. Saga really didn't help the stoy, but it did have alot of action. So really you should only buy this if you just want to see all the episodes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Go Gohan
Review: Usually it is Goku who is the last one standing to fight, but since Goku is not around this time it is Gohan. This is the best tape of the Garlic Jr Saga. Gohan once again is the one to get rid of Garlic Jr. Gohan is also the one to get rid of the last of the Spice Boys. The bottom line is it was all Gohan in this video. It was cool and you should get this tape for your collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fireworks in these episodes
Review: Vanquished, the last three episodes of the Garlic Jr. Saga are great. The ending is filled with action. In this video you get to see the awsome power of Piccolo going against the pumped up Garlic Jr. So long for Kami's lookout. Gohan also shows his true power when he fights Garlic Jr. Lots of fireworks and action in this one. A perfect ending to the Garlic Jr. episodes. Go buy it.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: surprise surprise
Review: well he comes, he tries and he fails...as the title may tell you. he gets vaquished again..hehe my advice is if you like DBZ enough then get it. if you dont like it, then dont get it. most people find more flaws in dbz than what they like about it, thus hating it. i like it so much that i plan on getting all of the DVDs. so if youre in my position, then get it and this one you will like!

Summary: Garlic is gone
Review: While Kami and Mr. Popo help spray the mist over the earth, Picolo takes on Garlic Jr. who is now at full power. But Kami is attached to Picolo and when Kami gets hurt, so does Picolo. This leaves Picolo with an extreme disability. However, Gohan is the guy who beat Garlic before, so he's up to the challenge. As Garlic's last 2 henchmen are defeated, Garlic unleashes the Dead Zone. Gohan manages to send Garlic back into it, except this time Garlic has no source of power so he cannot get out. The rest of the volume is spent on Kirlin breaking up with Maron. Overall, this volume was a fare ending to this cool mini-series. I enjoyed it and I hope that the DBZ movies will be the same. The dub is a little off at times, but please bear with us. If any luck, we will get a DVD since its a short series. If you've got little money to spend on following an entire saga, buy the three tapes of this saga. You'll love it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Worst DBZ saga but still entertaining
Review: [I'm a huge DBZ fan, that's why I'm being so critical on this saga.]
INTRODUCTION: The Garlic Jr. Saga is a ten-episode saga of Dragonball Z that occurs after the defeat of Frieza on Namek, but before he comes to earth in his robotic body. During this time, Goku is still somewhere out in space and Vegeta has gone out looking for him. That leaves Gohan, Krillin, Piccolo, Yamcha, and Yajirobe to keep the planet safe.

Here's how the story goes. While he's out on a study break, Gohan finds Krillin, who introduces him to Maron, his new girlfriend (Maron looks EXACTLY THE SAME as Bulma and many confuse the two.) He tells Gohan there will be a get-together at Master Roshi's island, but Chi Chi forbids him to go. Gohan ignores this and rides his dragon to Master Roshi's island. Unfortunately for our heroes, not all is well. The Makyo Star has entered a planetary alignment achieved only once every ten thousand years. Through the added strength this gave him, Garlic Jr. was able to escape from the Dead Zone (See the movie Dead Zone if you want the whole story.) Garlic Jr. releases an evil mist over the world that turns everyone evil, except for Piccolo, Gohan, Krillin, Maron, and Kami and Popo (because Garlic Jr. imprisoned them in glass jars.) The Z Fighters who weren't turned evil go to the lookout to put an end to Garlic Jr.'s scheme.

This is an entertaining saga, but it's PURE FILLER. It could NEVER have happened for the following reasons:
-It's a continuation to DBZ movie 1, Dead Zone, which COULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED.
-Where'd Garlic Jr. get those new henchmen?
-There's an alternate universe for dead guardians of the earth in Kami's lookout?
-Gohan's dragon appears. He got it in Tree Of Might, a movie that never could have happened.
-It sure is a fancy coincidence Garlic Jr. and his henchmen's power levels are in the same range of the Z Fighters levels

If you must see this saga, YOU NEED TO SEE THE UNCUT SUB. The version on Cartoon Network made several edits. These include, but are not limited to the following:
-The word "Hell"
-Maron's swimsuit. In the original version it is MUCH more revealing. In all of DBZ, this is probably the most skin you'll see on an adult female character.
-A scene where Master Roshi grabs Maron's breast (I'm not making this up)
-A scene where Yajirobe looks up an opening in Maron's dress
-A scene where the camera is focused directly on Maron's butt
-Numerous dialogue changes, mostly to make it seem more American

IF YOU DECIDE TO GET THE GARLIC JR. SAGA ON DVD, GET THE BOX SET. YOU'LL SAVE MONEY THAT WAY.

The Garlic Jr. Saga is more like a mini-series than an actual saga (it even aired as such on Cartoon Network.) Because of the plotholes and flaws of this series, I recommend it only to TRUE fans of DBZ. This isn't a terrible saga, but it is, hands down, the WORST SAGA OF DBZ.
