Biography

Dragon Ball Z

Saiyan Saga

Main article: Vegeta Saga

He stops Goku from eating Ensenji (King Yemma's Fruit) by hitting him with a spiked club. Then, Goz challenges him to wrestling match and toys with him for some time, pretending to help him leave Hell, such as Goz's Flying Machine.

Majin Buu Saga

Main articles: Great Saiyaman Saga and Kid Buu Saga

Goz and Mez later reappear in "Warriors of the Dead" where they are shown to be in hiding from Cell, King Cold, Frieza, and the Ginyu Force. It was also implied in this scene that they would have told Cell and his rioters how to escape from Hell had they caught them in order to save their own lives, as they mentioned that they would tell them where the secret lair was when they thought Goku and Pikkon were with Cell and his rebels.

They reappear watching the fight between Kid Buu and Goku (and were also impressed by Kid Buu's putting up a fight).

Dragon Ball GT

Main article: Super 17 Saga Later, Goz and Mez briefly reappear during the Super 17 Saga of Dragon Ball GT.

Trivia

Jose Luis Castañeda provides the voice of Goz in the Latin American dub, except in the episode "Warriors of the Dead" when Cell and his fellow villain rioters wreak havoc in Hell. This is probably because Castañeda also voiced King Cold and Burter and both appeared in that same episode. That would make him the third character in the same scene so the change may have been intentional.
