Makyo Star (魔凶星) is a planet, and the source of power for all Makyans, especially Garlic Jr. It is shown only in the anime during the Garlic Jr. Saga of Dragon Ball Z.

OverviewEdit

The Makyo Star seems to be moving through space, and once every 5,000 years, it passes close to Earth, coinciding with an alignment of several stars, which power all the Makyan demons inhabiting Earth.

It was because of the Makyo Star getting close to Earth that Garlic Jr. was able to escape the Dead Zone. When it got even closer to Earth, Garlic Jr., Spice, and Vinegar were able to increase their size and muscle mass and become stronger, after being beaten by Piccolo, Krillin, and Gohan. It was extremely close to Earth by the time Garlic Jr. reopened the Dead Zone, but Piccolo knew from Spice that it was Garlic Jr.'s source of power, and so he told Gohan to blow it up. Gohan attacked and destroyed the Makyo Star with the Golden Dome Attack, draining Garlic Jr.'s energy and causing him to be sucked back into the Dead Zone for all eternity.

TriviaEdit

• In Japanese Buddhism, Makyo is the realm of demons.
• The fact that it travels through solar systems, instead of bound by a central force of gravity, implies that the Makyo Star is a rogue planet.
• There are a couple variations on the approximate timeframe in which the Makyo Star passes close to the Earth depending on the dub (either 10,000 or 12,000 years), but the Japanese version states that it appears every 5,000 years.
