Since it debuted in the 1980s, Dragon Ball has been among the most popular anime franchises in the world. Akira Toriyama’s flagship series paved the way for the modern shonen genre, introducing many of the tropes seen in contemporary anime series like Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, and One Piece.However, one trend that Dragon Ball doesn’t receive enough credit for is its use of feature-length films, which have appeared in the franchise since the original Dragon Ball series. In particular, Dragon Ball Z has the greatest concentration of these movies, boasting over 15 films in its library. That said, all 15 of these movies are considered non-canon, as they each contradict the series in some notable way.Although Garlic Jr. — Dead Zone’s antagonist — is the subject of one of Dragon Ball Z’s filler arcs, he never appears in the series’ canon. This, coupled with the fact that the film introduces a host of continuity errors regarding the Z Fighters’ awareness of Gohan, is why its inclusion in the DBZ lore is impossible.
