Firefox Favourite Manga The Original Dragon Ball Z Manga	Hello I know that when Akira Toryiama was writing the manga the anime caught up to him so while he released more chapters and volumes of his manga TOEI created that filler about Piccolo and Goku trying to find a car. Anyway Garlic Jr. claimed that the dead zone events did happen if so wouldn't the Garlic Jr. Saga be one of those fillers? It does seem like one to me all because seeing it features Piccolo, Kuririn, and Gohan I just think that Akira really wouldn't bother to write something like that or publish it. Anyways thanks in return. Edited by gotron228, Jan 24 2009, 10:41 AM.

Internet Explorer Favourite Manga DBZ	The Garlic Jr. Saga is completely filler, as are all the movies. I think the reason they put in the Garlic Jr. Saga was for a way to show the other characters i.e Krillin, Piccolo and Kid Gohan, are able to 'save the world' without Goku.

Like in the saga's before, we see glimpses of the power Gohan has, and with the Dead Zone movie aswell. So with the Garlic Junior Saga, it would show the gap where Goku isn't back on Earth, aswell as focussing on Gohan's power. Edited by DLFlux, Jan 25 2009, 01:01 AM.

The movies don't always co-exist with the storyline. Yes some do such as Bardock's movie, but a lot of them don't. Otherwise they'd all be mentioned in the series, which they aren't. Plus, isn't filler pretty much anythign that didn't happen in the manga?

New anime episodes and new chapters of manga usually have a weekly run. Since a single anime episode may use several chapters of manga as storyline material filler episodes are usually used to give the manga time to get ahead of the anime story. Wikipedia beats BluPiccolo any day. The movies are filler, as is the Garlic Jr saga.

The editors will look something up, check if the edit is true/ actually makes sense and if it doesn't, they remove it. Don't b/s about Wiki's unreliability, it has more knowledge than any one of us

Detective Conan, FMA (original), Yu Yu Hakusho Favourite Manga Anything by Akira Toriyama	The movies are not filler, because the term "filler" applies to the show. However, the movies are completely non-canon, as not one of them fits perfectly into the story. Bardock and History of Trunks are canon because they are tv specials not movies. The Garlic Junior saga is kind of double-filler when you think about it. It is filler based on a non-canon movie. And I think it shouldn't have been done because I'm sure there were a lot of people who had been watching the show since ep.1, but hadn't seen the movies, and they must've been confused out of their minds!

I joined the Z story line in the Frieza saga in the anime, I didnt get a lot of the flashback scenes (things like Piccolo having flashbacks to when he fought Goku in the Budokai tournament in Dragonball) BUt i enjoyed the idea that there was a history to everything. I liked the Garlic Jnr. saga, it wasnt great but had its moments. Ack! at least it gave us a little bit more time in the Dragonball Z universe. It is a filler to me but one that fits. Peace.

(yes in a lead up to cell). Gohan can save the world to, yay =)
