| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- When I saw this I thought to myself: did I miss something? The first Dragon Ball Z movie, apparently. No wonder I was always confused when Garlic Jr. shows up. |

| This saga is a pain in the ass to watch anyway. :/ |
 |
| The Garlic Jr. arc is definitely the worst of the DBZ filler. |
 |
| The only interesting thing was that Kuririn had a girlfriend "sort of" that looked like Bulma :p Well lets see what's next! |
 |
| Annnnnnd, the Garlic Jr saga. Hooray for filler. Nice English voice acting too, Garlic jr. is Emperor Pilaf v2.0. Thankfully it's a short saga. |

Ah, and I was confused with all those flashbacks. I thought all those movies are just side stories or alternative versions. I can't just skip them any more, obviously. It's not that I don't want to watch them, it's just that it's a hassle to figure out the order |
   |
| Looks like I'm not the only one who is going to hate this saga. The idea is just evil, and so are the new characters introduced :/ That new guy is just what we all want to see, a short blue annoying prick with an extremely annoying voice and evil plans. Couch EMPOR PILAF Cough. The only person more evil than her is Chi Chi........ And fuck, it seems as if I am going to have to watch the movies to understand some of the important events.

I don't know if I would be able to take 60 + episodes of these evil villains. |
| Well guys watch DBZ Movie 1 before this one. I looked into it like 5 minutes, I was confused then realized it must have had been a movie. Watched the movie and now everything is fine. Also I think this arc is kind of dull. |

Also I think this arc is kind of dull. Well, I did watch the first DBZ movie. Seems that's not enough. Near the end of this episode a purple Haiya dragon is shown whom Gohan seems to know very well. Looked him up, turns out he appears in Tree of Might which is DBZ movie 3. So, apparently you need to watch DBZ movies 1-3 to keep up with this episode... |

Think of movies as alternative timelines. The third movie takes place after this Saga, but Gohan meets Haiya Dragon there for the first time |

Think of movies as alternative timelines. The third movie takes place after this Saga, but Gohan meets Haiya Dragon there for the first time Hmm... Why would you think the third movie is after Garlic Jr. Saga? The release date of episode 108 is September 18, 1991. The release date of Movie 3 is July 7, 1990. Also, if the third movie with the proper introduction of Haiya Dragon was intended to take place after Garlic Jr. saga, wouldn't out-of-the-blue appearance of Haiya dragon in this episode indicate a plot hole? |
LoneUlfsark said: Hmm... Why would you think the third movie is after Garlic Jr. Saga? The release date of episode 108 is September 18, 1991. The release date of Movie 3 is July 7, 1990. That's mainly because at the time, I was trying to fit the movies into the same timeline, and by that logic, this movie could only take place at least an year after the last wish to the dragon balls - I explained that in the third movie's discussion Anyway, the reason why movie can't take place in the same timeline as series is because characters who should be dead or elsewhere are walking around on Earth like nothing happened LoneUlfsark said: Also, if the third movie with the proper introduction of Haiya Dragon was intended to take place after Garlic Jr. saga, wouldn't out-of-the-blue appearance of Haiya dragon in this episode indicate a plot hole? So yes, Haiya Dragon is introduced in the third movie for the first time, but that movie takes place in the alternative timeline, so he kind of appears out of blue in the series. Haiya Dragon in the movie and Haiya Dragon in the series are two different Haiya Dragons. Don't forget that this saga by itself is a filler |

| Mr.Popo straight up synopsized the first movie, it went far beyond the typical anime exposition, felt like he was reading Dead Zone's Wikipedia entry. |
| Huh.. so they're continuing where the movie left off. I guess it'll be somewhat interesting... Krillin has a "unofficial" (Not steady yet?) girlfriend... that very much resembles Bulma. Quite interesting, lol. She seems like a Ditz though. I guess this is like Bulma's Twin in the universe but is her complete opposite. Wasn't expecting like a movie arc tbh... I guess they had ideas to continue the Garlic Jr. Story and decided to roll it out. They gave alot of recap to help, but no "How Garlic Jr. escaped the dead zone"... Next episode maybe? |

| Kind of a disappointing episode, but I was actually relieved to move on to something new after the long Freeza saga. |
 |
on 
| So Garlic Jr has appeared... that black mist could be quite dangerous. If it hits someone like Piccolo, then that's bad. Also Krillin's girlfriend seems annoying, she doesn't care about Krillin much at all. The flashback to when Garlic Jr previously appeared makes no sense. When did it take place? It had to have taken part before episode 5 of dbz because Gohan is in his old clothes, can't control his powers and Goku is alive. However, I thought the first time Piccolo and Goku teamed up was in episode 3. Maybe the filler is just wrong. |
| You can't miss something until it's gone. |
| ok i will have to watch the movies o.o |
 |
| So another mini Piccolo is the bad guy? |
 |
| Did Gohan just ask his flying purple dragon pet if he wanted to "blaze"? |

| Garlic Jr. looks like a namekian Pilaf. Nice music when Gohan went in the river. Krillin suddenly became alpha male ? Hot Girl + Sportscar ... xD. And was Gohan jealous ? xD Actually tbh I enjoyed the entrance and built of Pilaf ... erm sorry Garlic Jr. more here than in the mediocre Movie. His underlings are different here too. Groups of people laughing in the end, lol. |
 |
| Alrighty, curiosity is gettin' the better of me. I do remember this filler saga from my childhood when it aired on Toonami. I don't remember much of it though even when I re-watched DBZ some years ago. I just remember Garlic Jr. is kind of like the Hornswoggle of DBZ until he gets roided up transforms |
| not sure how to feel about the idea of a midget that's not pilaf or babidi lol, invading the sacred temple and being disrespectful with kami, knowing that kamisama never fought in all of the history of DragonBall 🤣 feels weird man! 2/5. Voel said: Groups of people laughing in the end, lol. release the evil laugh gas lol |
