Background Info
Once
things get calmed down after the battle with Freeza, Garlic
Jr. returns from the Dead Zone to cause problems once again.
He takes Kami and Mr. Popo hostage, and releases his Black
Water Mist on the Earth. The evil mist causes people to
becomes super violent and turn on one another. Piccolo tricks
him into thinking he has been turned by the mist, in order to
get close enough to Kame's prison in the bottle (he hurts
Gohan in order to fulfill his plan). When Piccollo reveals
that he was not affected by the black water mist he
releases Kame and Mr. Popo. When they are freed they
take the Sacred Water, the only cure for the mist, to the 7
winds (which takes like 6 episodes of repeat clips) to spread
them across the world but they don't have much time left.
Garlic
Jr. escaped the Dead Zone by drawing power from the Makioh
Star. The star powers his battle against Piccolo, Krillin, and
Gohan. Eventually it comes down.. Garlic Jr. once again tries
to draw the heroes into the Dead Zone and once again Gohan
thwarts his attack and bounces him into the Dead Zone instead.
This time he needed the help of Krillan and especially Picollo.
With
Garlic Jr. gone, there is one thing left. Krillin and Gohan go
after a giant pearl to give Krillin's girlfriend, Marron. But
during the quest for the pearl, Krillin realizes he has to let
Marron go. They give up the chase on the pearl and return to
the surface. Krillin lets Marron go and the Garlic Jr. saga
ends. (If Krillan had asked Marron to marry her she would have
said yes...a good thing Krillan didn't!)
