Sansho

is one of Garlic Jr.'s original trio of henchmen in Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone.
==Appearance==
He had long red-purple sideburns, a muscular body type, and a head that somewhat resembles a pickle.
==Personality==
Sansho is the strong and silent type of the group. He is shown to be the least intelligent of the trio given that he recited Goku shouting "Return my Gohan!" a second time even after Nicky and Ginger realized their initial mistake. Once Piccolo demonstrated how outclassed Sansho was in comparison to the former, the Makyan panicked and revealed his cowardice, screaming that Piccolo is a "monster".
==Biography==
===Dragon Ball Z===
====Dead Zone====
Sansho is first seen when he attacks Piccolo with Ginger and Nicky while he was in the middle of training. He and his comrades then kidnap Gohan at Goku's House in order to have the Dragon Ball on his hat. Later, Sansho and Ginger find and bring the last Dragon Balls to Garlic Jr. who then summons Shenron and wishes for immortality.
Sansho, Ginger and Nicky fight Goku after transforming into a powered up Super state after Goku arrives at Garlic Castle to save Gohan. At one point, Sansho becomes separated from his comrades and tries to attack Krillin but is stopped by Piccolo. Though he states that he does not need Ginger and Nicky's help to finish the Namekian off, Sansho is still quickly slain after Piccolo punches him through several pillars and is killed by a Ki Blast.
====Fusion Reborn====
Along with countless other Dragon Ball antagonists, Sansho makes a cameo appearance in Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn when the residents of Hell make their escape to Earth.
==Power==
;Films
As he is normally, Sansho is comparable to his ally Ginger who is strong enough to defeat Chi-Chi with a simply Kiai. In his Super state he is more powerful than before but even when fighting alongside Nicky and Ginger in the same state, they are on the losing side against Goku while still wearing his weighted clothing and he is easily beaten by Piccolo.

;Super Sansho
By calling out his signature phrase, Sansho can power up into this larger and more muscular state. Sansho takes on his buff form while combating Goku.
While this state appears to be the same as the one used by Garlic Jr., Spice and Vinegar, Daizenshuu 7 oddly does not include Sansho among the users of their transformation, while Daizenshuu 6 identifies Sansho's transformation as being the same as Garlic Jr.'s.
