Editing Garlic Jr. (section)

==Trivia==

*The puns on the names of Garlic Jr. and those affiliated with him are all derivatives of spices.
*Garlic Jr.'s fangs make him look like a vampire, which is likely a play on the name ''"Garlic"'' (which, ironically, is a weakness for vampires).
**Owing to the similarities, he was also responsible for turning most of the earth into Vampire-like demons (albeit indirectly via the Black Water Mist rather than by biting them).
*While many other villains have attempted to use the Dragon Balls to achieve immortality, Garlic Jr. is the first villain to achieve immortality, the second being Future Zamasu.
*In the English dub of "The Heavens Tremble", Garlic Jr. said that he had been imprisoned in the Dead Zone for ten years. However, Gohan (who was responsible for sealing him in the Dead Zone) was only four years old at the time and was six years old in the episode, though it could be explained by the time moving differently in the Dead Zone.
*In the English dub of the episode "Call for Restoration", Garlic Jr., who had just escaped the Dead Zone, refers to Piccolo as a Namekian. However, Piccolo (and Kami) were not aware of their heritage until after Garlic Jr. was trapped in the Dead Zone. How Garlic Jr. came to learn this fact while in the Dead Zone is not explained.
*In the English dub of the Garlic Jr. Saga, Garlic Jr. makes various comments referring to baseball. When Krillin's Kamehameha curves upward in front of him, Garlic Jr. says "What a curveball." When he beats Piccolo, Garlic Jr. remarks "It's the bottom of the ninth for you Piccolo, and here's the pitch. Strike three, you're outta there! It's the end of the game. You lose"
*Garlic Jr. looks very similar to Emperor Pilaf. Both are voiced by Chuck Huber in the FUNimation dub, Don Brown in the Ocean Group dub, as well as Shigeru Chiba in the Japanese dub (Shigeru only voiced Garlic Jr. in the anime, not the movie).
**However, unlike Pilaf, Garlic Jr. actually succeeded in gaining the wish he desired, is more cunning and a more powerful fighter, and has a much darker and less comical personality than the Emperor.
*Shigeru Chiba, Garlic Jr.'s voice in his return filler arc, previously voiced his lackey Nicky in his debut film. Akira Kamiya was busy with other work by the time of the Garlic Jr. Saga, so Chiba, who was familiar with Kamiya's work already through ''Fist of the North Star'' and other projects, replaced him.
*Garlic Jr. is one of the only two villains who has had a saga and a movie after them, have fought and come back once, only to be defeated because they did not learn from their mistakes, the other being Frieza.
**However they did so in a reverse manner as Garlic Jr. originated from a film and received a anime filler saga, while Frieza originated from the main series and later received a film, the story of which eventually became another main series saga, the Golden Frieza Saga.
*Garlic Jr.'s attack on The Lookout is given an indirect reference in the English dub of the Fusion Saga, where Piccolo upon being released from imprisonment via Gotenks at the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and discovers Super Buu's destruction of the Lookout says "the Lookout is destroyed... again."
*Garlic Jr. has some similarities to Piccolo, namely that he was reincarnated from another character and held a grudge against the person who doomed his father/past self (Goku regarding Piccolo, Kami regarding Garlic Jr.), and both even had a degree of immortality thanks to the Dragon Balls (Garlic Jr. directly gained complete immortality, while Piccolo inherited King Piccolo's Eternal Youth). A notable difference between the two is that Garlic Jr. remained a villain from start to finish, while Piccolo eventually became a good guy and even before his reforming had nevertheless possessed some redeemable characteristics.
**He also bore some similarities to Uub, as he was the reincarnation of a major evil (Kid Buu, in Uub's case) as well as also being borne of a wish. The major differences are that Uub was the polar opposite of Kid Buu in overall morality while Garlic Jr. was evil just like his father/past self, and that Garlic Jr.'s birth was due to his father wishing to be reincarnated to get revenge on Kami, while Uub was created by a wish from Goku largely due to being impressed enough with Kid Buu's fighting prowess that he regretted having to kill him.
