I love the Garlic Jr. Saga filler of DBZ

That's right. I love the Garlic Jr. saga of DBZ. It's the only filler of DBZ that I really like, and wish had of been left in Kai. The Garlic Jr. Saga is looked at as weak compared to the Cell or Buu sagas. It can't even measure up to the Freiza Saga. And yet, I think it's so much better than it's given credit for.

Goku is the hero in almost all the DBZ sagas. But in the Garlic Jr. Saga, Gohan, Krillin, and Piccolo have to take out a great evil without Goku's help, and they do! Even Kami acts very heroically. No Goku, yet they push Garlic Jr. back into his dimension where he will be trapped forever. There is no other DBZ saga like this. True, in the Cell Saga, Gohan is the one who defeats Cell, but he had some help from his dad. Not that that's a bad thing. It didn't make Gohan's act any less heroic. But it was amazing to see Gohan and the others take out Garlic Jr. without Goku being the hero of the day at all. Then there was the extra story, in which Maron and Krillin break up. While you feel bad for Krillin, this one shot story of a broken heart gives so much more meaning when Krillin finally meets Android 18.

Yes, I don't mind any of the filler being removed from Kai, except for the Garlic Jr. Saga. I wish they had of kept that in Kai. For it was the best filler of DBZ.

Thanks for posting.

I'm not a DBZ fan myself, but hopefully somebody will come back to you, and give you their thoughts.

It's why I liked the recent Dragon Ball Super Super Hero movie. Other characters really got to shine there
