In [[wp:Dragon Ball Z|Dragon Ball Z]], while traveling through the afterlife, Goku accidentally falls into Hell and encounters Goz and Mez, who challenge him to physical competitions (you see, Hell is an eternal gym class). They display the traditional red and blue coloring and have one and two horns, as well as carrying kanabō. Their names come directly from [https://yokai.com/mezu/ this Gozu and Mezu]. | ||
