	The Gang is not seen in the ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'' anime, but we know a bit about what they are doing during that time thanks to ''[[Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods]]'' and a [[Dragon Ball Super Bonus Chapter 2\|''Dragon Ball Super'' bonus chapter]] from [[Toyotarō]]. The bonus chapter tells the story of how the Pilaf Gang wished for youth in [[Future Trunks]]'s timeline, just before [[Piccolo]] is killed by the [[artificial humans]]. The main timeline wish is mentioned in ''Battle of Gods'' without much detail, but we can surmise that the wish is made before Piccolo merges with [[God]] in the main timeline of the story because Pilaf does not know that Shenlong can grant more than one wish in ''[[Dragon Ball ~~Z: Resurrection 'F'~~]]''. The phrasing of the wish in the bonus chapter turns the whole Gang into babies, making them about the same physical age as [[Trunks]]; this chronology fits with the apparent age of the Pilaf Gang in the final two ''Dragon Ball Z'' films and ''[[Dragon Ball Super]]''.

Mai notices a room marked "bingo tournament prizes", and inside they find an assortment of hams, an airplane, a castle, a pipe organ, a giant diamond, and all seven Dragon Balls. They are interrupted by Trunks and [[Goten]], who reminds them of Goku. They panic and flee the room, but Mai has managed to steal the giant diamond and the Four-Star Ball.

			[[File:Pilaf-Gang-DBS19-Eye.png\|thumb\|300px\|The Pilaf Gang finds [[Freeza]]'s eye in [[Dragon Ball Super Episode 19]].]]
			When [[Sorbet]] and [[Tagoma]] travel to [[Earth]] for the Dragon Balls, they find the Pilaf Gang via surveillance and take their collected Dragon Balls by force. In ''[[Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F']]'', the Gang has to guide them to the last ball using the Dragon Radar; in the anime, they have just found the last ball when Sorbet and Tagoma arrive. Pilaf summons Shenlong, extracting a promise from Sorbet that he will not kill them. Sorbet wishes to resurrect [[Freeza]]; Shenlong is not willing to restore Freeza's body as he has done for others, so Freeza arrives in pieces. An eye falls near the terrified Pilaf Gang. Shenlong asks for their second wish, and as Sorbet decides what he will wish for, Shuu asks for one million Zenni. In the anime, Shenlong offers two more wishes, so Mai follows up Shuu's wish with her own wish, for the best ice cream in the world. Shenlong packs the ice cream in ice as a freebie. Sorbet wants to take revenge on the Gang, but Tagoma urges him to hurry and help him collect the pieces before the [[Saiyans]] arrive. As they are leaving Earth, Pilaf presents Sorbet with the eye they left behind. Sorbet thanks them and promises to return...with Freeza and his army. In the anime, Pilaf considers using Shuu's money to build a spaceship so they can escape Earth, but in the end, they all decide to go out for Mongolian barbecue.<ref name="RF">{{Cite features\|Number=dbzmovie2015}}</ref><ref name="DBS19">{{Cite episode\|Series=Super\|Eps=19}}</ref>

			The Pilaf Gang does not appear in the [[God of Destruction Champa arc]] in the anime, but this arc marks their first appearance in the [[Dragon Ball Super (manga)\|''Dragon Ball Super'' manga]]. This arc began in the manga before the anime had finished with ''Resurrection 'F'''. The Gang makes their manga debut on the [[Cube]] transporting the [[Universe 7]] fighters and their supporters to the [[God of Destruction Invitational Tournament]]. Mai is very curious when she overhears [[Beerus]] and [[Bulma]] discussing the [[Super Dragon Balls]]; Shuu wonders if they are big, and Pilaf thinks they might be as big as watermelons.

			As a member of the Pilaf Gang, the vast majority of her actions are taken as part of that group. In [[Future Trunks]]'s timeline, however, it seems that [[Pilaf]] and [[Shuu]] have died, so Future Mai's actions are independent of the Gang. A more detailed account of Mai's exploits can therefore be found on the [[Pilaf Gang]] and [[Future Mai]] pages.

			When [[Bulma]] and [[Goku]] set out on their first hunt for the [[Dragon Balls]], the Pilaf Gang serves as the antagonist. In the manga, they are the holders of the [[One-Star Ball]], which is the last ball left for Bulma and Goku to obtain. In the anime, they are introduced in [[Dragon Ball Episode 1\|episode 1]] and serve as antagonists throughout the arc.

			In the manga, the story begins when Bulma and Goku enter Pilaf's territory to find the last ball. On Mai's orders, Shuu uses a mech suit to steal Bulma's bag which contains five of the Dragon Balls, but he inadvertently leaves behind the [[Dragon Radar]] and the [[Four-Star Ball]] which is on Goku's person.<ref name="ch18">{{Cite manga\|Chp=18}}</ref> Goku and friends enter [[Pilaf's castle]] and are lured into a trap. On Mai's suggestion, they incapacitate Goku and co. using sleeping gas, and Mai finds Goku's ball while Shuu cares for Pilaf who had entered without a gas mask and passed out. With Goku and friends imprisoned again, Pilaf calls [[Shenlong]], but Goku has blown a small hole in the castle wall with a ''[[Kamehameha]]'', and the shapeshifters [[Oolong]] and [[Pu'er]] are loose.<ref name="ch19">{{Cite manga\|Chp=19}}</ref> Before Pilaf can speak his wish, Oolong wishes for a pair of panties. Shenlong grants Oolong's wish and departs.

Their next attempt to find the Dragon Balls leads them back to Goku. The Pilaf Gang once again holds the final ball, which they have protected in a case that cloaks the ball from the Dragon Radar. They have fancy new mech suits called [[Pilaf Machines]], and via satellite surveillance, they have discovered that Goku's weakness is his tail.

			The Gang is not seen in the ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'' anime, but we know a bit about what they are doing during that time thanks to ''[[Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods]]'' and a [[Dragon Ball Super Bonus Chapter 2\|''Dragon Ball Super'' bonus chapter]] from [[Toyotarō]]. The bonus chapter tells the story of how the Pilaf Gang wished for youth in [[Future Trunks]]'s timeline, just before [[Piccolo]] is killed by the [[artificial humans]]. The main timeline wish is mentioned in ''Battle of Gods'' without much detail, but we can surmise that the wish is made before Piccolo merges with [[God]] in the main timeline of the story because Pilaf does not know that Shenlong can grant more than one wish in ''[[Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F']]''. The phrasing of the wish in the bonus chapter turns the whole Gang into babies, making them about the same physical age as [[Trunks]]; this chronology fits with the apparent age of the Pilaf Gang in the final two ''Dragon Ball Z'' films and ''[[Dragon Ball Super]]''.

			In ''Battle of Gods'', the Pilaf Gang hunts for the Dragon Balls at [[Capsule Corporation]] during Bulma's birthday party. Mai notices a room marked "bingo tournament prizes", and inside they find an assortment of hams, an airplane, a castle, a pipe organ, a giant diamond, and all seven Dragon Balls. They are interrupted by Trunks and [[Goten]], who reminds them of Goku. They panic and flee the room, but Mai has managed to steal the giant diamond and the Four-Star Ball. On the way out, she appears to suffer from guilt, and she gives the diamond to Trunks. Goten asks Trunks who the cute girl was, and Trunks lies to Goten and boasts that Mai is his girlfriend.

			[[File:Pilaf-Gang-DBS19-Eye.png\|thumb\|300px\|The Pilaf Gang finds [[Freeza]]'s eye in [[Dragon Ball Super Episode 19]].]]
			When [[Sorbet]] and [[Tagoma]] travel to [[Earth]] for the Dragon Balls, they find the Pilaf Gang via surveillance and take their collected Dragon Balls by force. In ''[[Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F']]'', the Gang has to guide them to the last ball using the Dragon Radar; in the anime, they have just found the last ball when Sorbet and Tagoma arrive. Pilaf summons Shenlong, extracting a promise from Sorbet that he will not kill them. Sorbet wishes to resurrect [[Freeza]]; Shenlong is not willing to restore Freeza's body as he has done for others, so Freeza arrives in pieces. An eye falls near the terrified Pilaf Gang. Shenlong asks for their second wish, and as Sorbet decides what he will wish for, Shuu asks for one million Zenni. In the anime, Shenlong offers two more wishes, so Mai follows up Shuu's wish with her own wish, for the best ice cream in the world. Shenlong packs the ice cream in ice as a freebie. Sorbet wants to take revenge on the Gang, but Tagoma urges him to hurry and help him collect the pieces before the [[Saiyans]] arrive. As they are leaving Earth, Pilaf presents Sorbet with the eye they left behind. Sorbet thanks them and promises to return...with Freeza and his army. In the anime, Pilaf considers using Shuu's money to build a spaceship so they can escape Earth, but in the end, they all decide to go out for Mongolian barbecue.<ref name="RF">{{Cite features\|Number=dbzmovie2015}}</ref><ref name="DBS19">{{Cite episode\|Series=Super\|Eps=19}}</ref>

			The Pilaf Gang does not appear in the [[God of Destruction Champa arc]] in the anime, but this arc marks their first appearance in the [[Dragon Ball Super (manga)\|''Dragon Ball Super'' manga]]. This arc began in the manga before the anime had finished with ''Resurrection 'F'''. The Gang makes their manga debut on the [[Cube]] transporting the [[Universe 7]] fighters and their supporters to the [[God of Destruction Invitational Tournament]]. Mai is very curious when she overhears [[Beerus]] and [[Bulma]] discussing the [[Super Dragon Balls]]; Shuu wonders if they are big, and Pilaf thinks they might be as big as watermelons. The Gang is frightened when they see Goku on the Cube, but they are impressed when they find out that the Super Dragon Balls are a lot bigger than watermelons,<ref name="DBSch7">{{Cite manga\|Series=Super\|Chp=7}}</ref> and they are occasionally seen thereafter on the stands throughout the tournament.<ref name="DBSch8">{{Cite manga\|Series=Super\|Chp=8\|Page=pp. 6, 11}}</ref><ref name="DBSch9">{{Cite manga\|Series=Super\|Chp=9\|Page=p. 11}}</ref><ref name="DBSch11">{{Cite manga\|Series=Super\|Chp=11\|Page=p. 20}}</ref><ref name="DBSch13">{{Cite manga\|Series=Super\|Chp=13\|Page=p. 21, 23}}</ref>
