Quick recap

The first Z film. Garlic Jr., who claims to be the heir of an old rival of Kami, kidnaps little Gohan for the four-star ball stuck to the boy's hat. With all seven balls, he wishes for immortality and storms Kami's lookout to take over Earth. Goku goes to the rescue with Krillin, and Piccolo, who wants the world for himself, ends up fighting alongside them. Garlic grows huge and nearly wins, until Gohan explodes in rage with a hidden power nobody knew about. In the end, Goku opens the Dead Zone, a void created by the villain himself, and Garlic Jr. is sucked in, immortal and trapped forever.
