A character from the movies who later made the jump to the TV anime. I’d like to try drawing his transformed state sometime, too!

Garlic Jr. debuted in the first Dragon Ball Z film back in 1989 (a film that doesn’t have a title beyond just “Dragon Ball Z”…!), and appeared as the main antagonist again in a “filler arc” exclusive to the Dragon Ball Z television series.
