Biography

Dragon Ball Z

Dead Zone

Main article: 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 Jr.'s fortress 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.
