"You came here looking to fight us, but the battle has already been won. There's no one left to fight for, nobody wants your help. Can't you understand that? Just look. Look at your friends. Do they look like they're waiting for a knight in shining armor to come and rescue them?" |
Spice reminds Gohan about Garlic Jr. at Kame House.
Spice is the Makyo-seijin leader of the the New Spice Boys, and is Garlic Jr.'s right-hand man. He has light blue skin, long pointy elf-like ears, and wears armor similar to that of Frieza's soldiers, but pink. In addition, he bears a cape just as Zarbon does. During the Garlic Jr. Saga, he explains the presence of the Makyo Star and it's origins. Spice knows of Piccolo and Gohan and their pasts, such as Piccolo's fascination with the dark side and the fact that Gohan managed to defeat Garlic Jr. He is also the only one of the Spice Boys who initially knows everything about the Makyo Star and the Black Water Mist. His personality is calm, and as such he speaks with a calm, light-pitched, Australian accent. He is slightly cynical, proud, like fellow Spice Boys, and has a appetite for fighting, especially wanting a piece of Gohan for himself. He is very intelligent and informative, having complete confidence in himself, and his lord, Garlic Jr., who has his complete devotion and respect. He is unique due to his being a demon with enchanter-like abilities, including the strange ability to grow his hair extremely long and strangle opponents, as well as using an energy web to trap opponents, and a freeze hold he uses by raising his palm. Spice offers positions as Garlic Jr.'s soldiers to Gohan, Krillin and Piccolo. During Krillin and Gohan's fight with Salt and Mustard, Spice and Vinegar stand by spectating, while Spice makes cynical comments on the fight.
After Mustard and Salt are killed by Gohan, he and Vinegar express anger and attempt a co-op move with is interrupted by Piccolo. He is a formidable warrior in his own right. Being the strongest of the Spice Boys, he possesses a frightening speed and ruthlessness, his speed even shocking Gohan. He is impaled on a long spike during his fight with Gohan and presumed dead, but like Garlic Jr., he is completely healed of his fatal injuries and his power increases greatly when the Makyo Star is in Earth's orbit. He ultimately becomes much larger and more muscular, as well as more vicious and bloodthirsty. He again fights Gohan for a while, while Vinegar takes on Krillin. He and Gohan seem evenly matched, strangely, even in his both forms. Later, when Gohan witnesses Krillin being beaten by Vinegar, Gohan's anger explodes, unleashing his latent power, and he kills Spice and Vinegar at the same time with a powerful dual blast.
