Sansho

Sansho is one of Garlic Jr's original trio of henchmen and a villain from the Dragon Ball Z movie, Dead Zone.

History
Sansho first made his appearance when he, Ginger, and Nicky appear to attack Piccolo so as to destroy Kami, and seemed succesful in getting rid of him. Sansho and his cohorts then began looking for the Dragon Balls, finding the Four Star Ball at Goku's home. Finding it on Gohan's hat, they simply took the boy with them and, after presenting him to Garlic Jr, Sansho and Ginger went to find the last two Dragon Balls they needed. After they found and presented them to their master, Garlic Jr. wished for his immortality. After Goku and Kami arrived to fight Garlic, Sansho and his cohorts stood in the way of Goku when he went to find Gohan. Realizing how strong the Saiyan was, they increased their size and strength by letting loose their battle cries (Sansho's differs between the Ocean and Funimation dubs, in the former, it is "Pepperoni!", and in the latter, it is "Cheese!") Thought at first he fought with Ginger and Nicky, Sansho attempted to attack Krillin, but was intercepted by Piccolo. Though he was confident that he could beat the Namekian alone, Sansho was pummeled by Piccolo and finished with an energy blast rather easily.

Powers
Sansho has the typical powers of Dragon Ball characters, superhuman abilities and energy attacks.
