Martian

Martians arrive on Earth

Martians are a squid-looking race that populates Mars. They appear in Go! Go! Ackman by Akira Toriyama, and make a cameo in the Dragon Ball manga and Jaco the Galactic Patrolman.

Overview

Go! Go! Ackman

A Martian cut in half

In Go! Go! Ackman, two Martians come to Earth in order to annihilate the Earthlings. Ackman tries to join them, but one Martian attacks him with his Martian Punch. Mad, Ackman rushes towards one of them and cuts him in half with his sword. The other Martian fires his Martian Flash at Ackman, but Ackman dodges the attack and kills the alien with a kick to the face.
