Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone (simply known as Dragon Ball Z and later as Dragon Ball Z: Return My Gohan!! in Japan) is the fourth Dragon Ball movie and the first under the Dragon Ball Z banner. It was released between episodes 11 and 12, with it premiering at the 1989 Toei Cartoon Festival (along with three other movies from the Akuma-kun, Himitsu no Akko-chan, and Kidou Keiji Jiban series). It was released in 1989 by Toei Animation, originally titled simply Dragon Ball Z: The Movie during its theatrical release. It was then dubbed into English by the Canadian company The Ocean Group in 1997 for the American company Funimation Entertainment, the title being changed to Dead Zone. It was then re-dubbed by FUNimation itself in 2005.The story sees a demonic being named Garlic Jr. take over the Lookout Point as revenge against Kami for being chosen over his father for the position of God of Earth, who in turn tried to take it by force, was defeated and cast into the Dead Zone as punishment. Goku gets in on the action when Garlic's lackeys kidnap Gohan for the Four Star Dragon Ball on his hat, joined shortly by Krillin and Piccolo as they try to stop Garlic from making his wish and taking over the world.Curiously, it proved popular enough that Toei revisited it in a anime-only sequel arc in the Dragon Ball Z anime, the Garlic Jr Arc, set between the Namek arc and Android arc. | |

The Worf Effect | |
| Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: Subverted, it looks like the movie is trying to hype up the villains by having them start the movie by defeating Piccolo, the final and most powerful villain seen in the original series. The truth turns out to be that they only got the better of him because of surprise, numbers, and their boss being involved. None of the bad guys aside from Garlic Junior himself is even remotely a threat to Piccolo. (And from all indications, Garlic needs to be transformed to be able to overcome Piccolo.) When Piccolo separates one member of the Quirky Mini Boss Squad from the rest later in the movie, Piccolo wins the fight with almost embarrassing ease. | |

Conservation of Ninjutsu: Zigzagged. Nicki, Ginger, and Sansho are shown to be strong enough that they could beat Goku or Piccolo if all three of them ganged one of them at once, and are much less of a threat when faced individually. Played straight with Garlic Jr., who is much more of a threat than the three of them. | |

Non-Serial Movie | |
| Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone / int_84eb31b4 | comment |
Non-Serial Movie: The film would actually avert this, since most of the details point to it taking place near the end of the gap between the original Dragon Ball and Znote Gohan being around the age he was at near the start of Z, Piccolo only working with Goku in an Enemy Mine, Krillin not having met Gohan yet...were it not for the fact that 1), Krillin meets Gohan before the Raditz Arc, but doesn't recognize him in the TV series (while this could be explained away on Krillin's part by him hitting his head or something and wiping the memories of the movie away, Gohan doesn't recognize Krillin when they meet in the TV series), and 2), Goku and Piccolo have their talk about weighted clothes in this movie. It's worth noting that the original Z seems to imply that this movie does happen (or at the very least, the movie is Broad Strokes), due to the Garlic Jr Arc having the villain of this movie come back for revenge. In Kai, on the other hand, the movie's continuity is very ambiguous - at best, it's Broad Strokes, at worse, it's this trope played straight due to the lack of the Garlic Jr arc. If we ignore the anime filler, it's possible the film was originally meant to be set after Goku and Piccolo fought Raditz in a hypothetical timeline where Goku wasn't killed. | |

Didn't Think This Through | |
| Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone / int_8d0785d5 | comment |
Didn't Think This Through: Garlic Jr. is immortal, and rather than just fighting Goku and Piccolo until he inevitably wins, since he can't die and still had plenty of strength left, he summons the Dead Zone, the one thing that can defeat him. Garlic Jr. has his minions track down and attempt to kill Piccolo before he wishes for immortality, even though this will kill Kami and, in turn, deactivate the Dragon Balls. Furthermore, they just needed the Dragon Ball attached to Gohan's hat. Had they just taken the hat and left Gohan, Goku wouldn’t have quite as pressing a reason to locate Garlic Jr.'s lair and stop his plans. Kami tries engaging Garlic Jr. in close combat, knowing the imp had already gained immortality and thus could withstand any offense. Kami was already established as knowing the Mafuba, so he could have saved himself the trouble if he'd just remembered to bring a container with a sealing incantation. | |

Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Or "Papas" in Garlic's case. Garlic Jr.'s main reason for attacking Kami in the movie was to avenge his fallen father. In the series, he solemnly vows to use the Dragon Balls to bring him back, and when he thought Piccolo died and the Dragon Balls lost, he lamented the loss but remained steadfast in finding another way. | |

Oh, Crap!: Nicky's horrified reaction before being blown away by Goku's Kamehameha along with Ginger. Sansho when he discovers that Piccolo is more than he can handle alone. Krillin when Piccolo arrives on the scene. After learning who Gohan's father is, Nicky and Sansho exchange worried glances. Ginger is also clearly sweating a bit. | |

Stupid Evil | |
| Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone / int_affd30b0 | comment |
Stupid Evil: Garlic Jr.'s minions are sent out to steal Dragon Balls, and they also kidnap Gohan when they could've just taken the Dragon Ball from his hat. Granted, Goku would have likely come to stop them anyways, but still... | |

Dead-Hand Shot: After he and Nicky are killed by Goku's Kamehameha, we see Ginger's twitching hand sticking up from the rubble before falling limp. | |

Sinister Scimitar | |
| Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone / int_bbd319f4 | comment |
Sinister Scimitar: Played straight by Nicky and Ginger; the swords they pull out of their limbs are curved enough to be considered scimitars, and they're evil. | |

Large and in Charge | |
| Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone / int_c7f294da | comment |
Large and in Charge: Garlic Jr. is an inversion, he's downright tiny and all of his minions are much bigger than him. Played straight with his One-Winged Angel form. | |

Lighter and Softer: Compared to the anime at this point, as there is no blood on-screen and Garlic Jr.'s minions are more comedic than Raditz, Nappa, or Vegeta. | |

Hoist by His Own Petard | |
| Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone / int_d397657d | comment |
Hoist by His Own Petard: Unlike his enemies, Garlic Jr. literally cannot die. The first half of the movie was him basically moving to make that the case. Yet somehow he gets the brilliant idea of opening a void to eternal darkness — this can backfire, and thus become worse torture for him than for anyone else ever because, again, he literally cannot die. | |

Expy | |
| Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: Garlic Jr. looks like a more serious and threatening version of Dragon Ball Big Bad Emperor Pilaf, to the point that they share the same voice actor. 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 version (Shigeru only voiced Garlic Jr. in the anime, not the movie, who is voiced by Akira Kamiya). | |
