Summary: Bleh...
Review: Well...here we are with the second volume of a 10-episode arc that really serves no purpose to the plot of the series. It's not present in the comics, Goku's not present, all of the heroes seem a lot weaker than they should be...there's a lot wrong with these episodes, but I won't get into everything here. Suffice it to say that they really aren't worth watching in Japanese, let alone English. While the later Afterlife Tournament has some redeeming qualities despite its plot holes, these episodes just reek of filler pointlessness.You're better off just skipping to the Trunks episodes. Preferably on DVD.

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.
