Happy Goku Day!
This is the first Dragon Ball Z movie, some sort of "interquel" between the first and the second series.
Brief but very entertaining to watch, it has some really nice, original designs for the villains. Personally I think Garlic Jr. Is perhaps one of the most underrated antagonists from the whole series, with people often dismissing his role in the story due that filler arc between the Namek and Cell saga, but I always found him to be a pretty cool enemy.
In some ways, he predates some traits that will be common in future Dragon Ball Z, Frieza in particular: A seemingly "frail" appearence that hides a great power, and also a power-up transformation, which weren't as common in the franchise back then.
Pretty much like Vegeta and Frieza, Garlic Jr. Also wanted to become immortal using the Dragon Balls. And unlike Vegeta and Frieza, he actually achieve that goal!
A shame that character has faded into oblivion. Personally I think he had a pretty cool lore behind him.
