Editing Hirudegarn (section)

==Trivia==

*The character's name comes from the movie's co-producer, Seiichi Hiruta, who did not like the original design of Hirudegarn. After he demanded that they redesign the character, his jaw dropped when he saw the new design. The sound effect for a "jaw-dropping" in Japan is ''gaan'' (ガーン), so they named the character "Hiruta gaan" (蛭田ガーン).
*Hirudegarn has a few similarities with Cell due to his insectoid features and his ability to drain life energy via his tail. However, his size resembles Cell X who was created after Hirudegarn's film appearance.
*It would seem that Hirudegarn is one of the few villains who does not follow the pattern of being stronger than the villain of the previous film as Super Janemba defeated Super Saiyan 3 Goku while Hirudegarn was killed by SSJ3 Goku, but it should be noted that Super Saiyan 3 Goku in ''Wrath of the Dragon'' was likely much stronger than he was in ''Fusion Reborn'' presumably due to training between the two films (if the two films take place in the same timeline) which would explain the discrepancy.
**Additionally, Hirudegarn does follow the pattern of being weaker than the antagonist who follows him, as God of Destruction Beerus easily defeated Super Saiyan 3 Goku in ''Battle of Gods''.
*Hirudegarn is the last movie villain/antagonist who does not speak, as the antagonists of the two films that followed him, Beerus and Frieza both speak. He is also the last movie villain to be exclusive to a film, as Beerus appears in ''Dragon Ball Super'' and Frieza was previously introduced as a main villain in ''Dragon Ball Z''.
**Broly (DBS) unlike his counterpart Broly is not exclusive to the ''Broly'' film as he appears briefly in the ''Dragon Ball Super'' manga.
*Hirudegarn is the 6th and final giant movie villain in a ''Dragon Ball Z'' film, the 1st being [[Dr. Wheelo]], the 2nd being Great Namek [[Lord Slug]], the 3rd being Meta-Cooler Core, the 4th being Culture Fluid Gigantification [[Bio-Broly]], and the 5th being Pre-Transformation [[Janemba]]. However, he and Dr. Wheelo are the only movie villains who remain giant sized throughout both of their films.
*Before becoming a Phantom Majin, Hirudegarn was the Demon God of Konats who inhabited a statue that would cleanse the Konatsians of evil by absorbing it which makes it similar to the Soul Cleansing Machine used by the Ogres in Other World to cleanse souls before they go to Hell in ''Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn''.
**This makes the Demon God of Konats similar to the Saike Demon (who was responsible for watching the Soul Cleansing Machine) in that they were once good entities who were transformed into powerful monsters that act movie villains, Hirudegarn and Janemba respectively.
**Before its transformation into a Phantom Majin, it is unknown what kind relationship the Demon God of Konats had with the Konats' Guardians such as the Konatsian Wizard, though presumably it was a positive one given the Demon God's ability to cleanse Konatsians of evil (as such an ability would be incredibly valuable to any Konats Guardian or Guardian attendant as it would make finding a pure hearted successor that much easier).
