All hail Garlic Jr., the only Dragon Ball villain who actually won (kinda)

The Dragon Ball franchise, in particular the 1989 fantasy martial arts anime Dragon Ball Z, was instrumental in making anime itself a global phenomenon. The popularity of Akira Toriyama’s magnum opus is such that it damn near precipitated an international incident in 2018 when the Japanese embassy in Mexico reportedly issued a letter to the governor of Coahuila, Mexico, to discourage the latter from allowing a public screening of the Dragon Ball Super finale in violation of Toei Animation’s rights (though many public screenings were still held in stadiums, plazas, and parks across the country). Series protagonist Goku has a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon, and in America you’ll be hard-pressed to get any bigger than that — both literally and figuratively. My point is: Dragon Ball is big, and the only characters arguably as prolific in their attachment to the series as Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo are its villains (which the latter two were when they were initially introduced to the franchise).

There are obvious fan-favorite Dragon Ball villains: the galactic tyrant Frieza; the bio- android Cell; the amorphous pink incarnation of evil, Majin Buu; maybe even Dr. Gero or Mercenary Tao Pai Pai if you’re talking to an older Dragon Ball fan trying hard to stunt by demonstrating their deep knowledge of the series. That’s not even counting all the new villains and antagonists appearing in Dragon Ball Super, like Beerus, the God of Destruction; Zamasu (aka Goku Black); and the legendary Pride Trooper Jiren. Then there are the innumerable variant reappearances of villains like Frieza and Cell and the reintroduction of Super Saiyan Broly into the series’ canon.

The belabored point: There are a lot of iconic anime villains
