The reason Turles looks like Goku is because he's a representation of what Goku would have become if he never hit his head. The in-lore reason is... he just does.
In the original movie in the dub at least Turles makes a comment like “we’re both born from the same mold” aside from that there’s no explanation other than he just looks like Goku
3:00 there are some examples of "monkey paw" wishes like that in the series though. Pilauf and his gang wish to be young again, and get turned into kids, fairly certain they also make the distinction between immortality and invulnerability with a villain once who wishes for the wrong one too.
@@stardmg Eh, I still think that could be ambiguous on that point. Besides, nothing says you couldn't be, I dunno, chopped into little pieces and have those pieces places in a mild acid, or alcohol, so you live forever in pain.
Well, as Vegeta said "This is so non-canon, it hurts". But it's absurdly funny how TFS just turned this stand-alone story about space pirates and a life-draining tree into a Christmas movie.
LOL people normally miss the "Melon Farmer" joke @16:20 Its a reference to Die Hard being set during Christmas and the tv edit version said Yippie Ki Yay Melon Farmer instead of Yippie Ki Yay Motherfucker. Plus Goku doesn't swear.
For future reference, do your spoilers like... **Potential Spoilers Ahead** Then put it way down here so people have to click read more and the spoilers are hidden. Otherwise you're kinda ruining the point of putting a warning considering how ppl read. Just some advice, because that is a small spoiler, but a spoiler and punchline, nonetheless. Maybe, "remember that Santa bit for the future", or something less leading.
18:55 If I remember correctly, Turles looks like Goku because back when this movie was made, the lore was that low class Saiyans were essentially lab grown, so they all looked alike.
Hey you guys, just wanna let u know that you should watch the special Celloween: A flight out of Cell before you watch episode 45. There's a joke there that you'll miss otherwise.
Turles is apparently a "what if" scenario if Goku never bumped his head as a kid But some reason exists Most dbz movies are usually written as alternate time lines
Shenron was always a bit ominous with his booming voice. But TFS obviously enhanced it. You guys saw Shenron being summoned by Roshi & Bulma in episode 6 (in words of TFS by the characters who actually did something in previous series, but not in this one) to wish Goku back because Nappa and Vegeta were approaching Earth.
actually the reason Goku and Turlus look alike is that low level saiyans all tend to look similar. Its why Bardock also looks just like Goku, and since you missed it Santa was voiced by Kyle Hebert or Adult Gohan's funimation actor
So, a couple of quick points. 1. As many others have stated, the only reason given for why Goku and Turles (pronounced Tur, like turtle,-Less) look the same is that low Class Saiyans are facially consturcted to have the same face..... despite the Bardock special showing that is not true in the slightest. 2. Turles in Japan is known as Tullece. This continues the Saiyan naming convention of being named after vegetables, Tullece=Lettuce, but it was changed to Turles because of the classic L and R overlap in the Japanese language. 3. This is actually DBZ's third movie. But the first two movies were abridged for TFS's one million and two million subscribers specials. As such the first two movies are much higher quality than this one.
Yeah, Shenron has been shown before but I think the issue is that you don’t really get the scale of him except for in this movie and the dead zone, where they went all out drawing Shenron.
The explanation for Turles looking like Goku is that they were both are low-class saiyans, and the the low-class don't have many distinct physical looks.
I believe some dubs did change turles to be Goku's eldest brother because they didn't like the explanation of the lore but essentially Goku's genes are SO average he basically has a jhon face, like Saiyans would have said he looks like he left the character creator in default (which is why vegeta is so pissed that he's behind the low class, hyper average "jhon smith" looking ass that is goku) but they don't explore that at all, they just wanted to have evil goku, so they basically merged the core concepts vegeta and raditz so they could recrete some beats from the saiyan arc
13:43 I don't kno about in this movie but much later, I remember hearing that alot of Low-Class Saiyans just happened to look alike I think Turles mentions it in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, a game
Would you try on Oolong's first wish? I would. He wished for the comfiest pair... They're magic. If given the option to find out, I would want to know.
The reason Turles looks like Goku is because they are 'low class warriors' level, brother Radditz is middle class why he got to be with vageta's squad when planet vageta blew up, if there was another elite Warrior class like vageta they'd look similar, its like if Saiyan's had templates to pick from then customize the look slightly
So you know how santa says that the saiyans didn't get to celebrate christmas because they kept trying to shoot the sledge? Well keep that in your head for future movies
The reason turles looks like Goku is because Every Low class Saiyan looks really similar to eachother,Like Chinese People's faces looking really similar no Matter what,Low class Saiyans Will probably always look similar
DBZ movie 9, Bojack, is the only one (of the original 13 1990s movies) that could be in continuity, but Team Four Star never got to it despite setting up Bojack as a character (he's the pirate at the core of King Kai's planet). They said that trying to write it broke them because they just couldnt come up with funny material and were burned out from the main series and decided to end it where they'd ended things with Cell.
Dude, Turles HD to have been Goku's twin brother. They're the same age, and given the unusual genetic attribute of Goku's family of the second son of the father always look JUST LIKE the father, but the first son doesn't comes true here, as well. Think about it. It started with Bardock, Goku's father. His first born son Raditz, looks nothing like him. But then Goku was born and he looks like Bardock (as well as Turles). Then Goku grows up and has a son, Gohan, who looks nothing like him. When the second son, Goten, comes along, he looks EXACTLY LIKE GOKU! So that particular genetic marker must be true all the way down the line. That explains Turles' appearance way better than a clone, or "just another Saiyan that just HAPPENS to look EXACTLY like Goku, except for his grey coloring."
Turles is vaguely related to Goku, maybe a cousin or something. At some point it was said that's just a normal haircut for soldiers, but you see a bunch of soldiers in another movie, none of which have that hair.
I heard the reason on why turles looks like goku is because they both were two low class sayian and they were basically impling that all low class sayian looked the same wich is as dumb as it sound.
Turles looking like Goku has been explained that low class saiyans look very much alike, maybe look the exact same but that's disproven because of Raditz
Fun fact. Takahata101 said that Goku's present from Chichi is what mothers do to a baby. You know, when they burp/move their lips like a duck on the belly
Turles isn't directly related to Goku, but they are the same race, and there's so few you can count them on your hand, so I guess calling them cousins makes sense.
Yeah I don't think the original Ever explained why Turles looks like Goku, but he definitely wasn't his brother. Hopefully you guys watch the Bardock Father of Goku special next
Day 13 of asking Nani no anime to watch the TV show "Lucifer". Its 6 seasons but i assure you it won't disappoint. It is one of the best shows ive watched.
Somehow newbies of DBZ Abridged always get Tree of Might as first movie to react to. But Dead Zone should be first, in fact before Nappa & Vegeta arrive on Earth!
@@cjpolett2055 Odd, because that means that drugged apple reference and Piccolo's castle is afterwards expanded by TFS, making it confusing to the watchers? And someone already seen it making a list with movies changed in order that make more sense and posting it to RU-vidrs?
if you are going to react to abridged movies in order then you should also see the movies "dead zone" and "the world's strongest" , as both are before the frezzer saga
We aren't yet in Freeza saga, that 's after Ginyu saga. Both part of the Namek saga, so seeing Vegeta sitting on Dragonballs in Tree of Might would be correct 2-3 episodes ago.
@@embran8486 I was referring to the fact that the two movies I mentioned are before the frezzer/ginyu saga (that is, during the sayajin saga). I take the frezzer saga as everything that happens in namekusei as the ginyu forces are just more frezzer soldiers.
"Think he's gokus brother" like bud, see if you don't know the answer to a question, don't just answer it with some random shit, for a possible answer to why turles looks like goku... and goten....and bardock, and possibly a few more saiyans looks the same, as apparently low level saiyans looked very similar to each other at times, like ones I had mentioned, I'm not saying that's cannon, but still an interesting thought
Turles relation with Goku is left in the dark the fanbase like to imagine that there blood related Goku we are really obsessed with Goku beating up his family I guess
i hate that they seem that dude in the lower right knows a lot about dragon ball and take his word on thing when he is always wrong he constantly talks like he's never even seen dragon ball but he had some on give him a vague outline of the show
lol, no. tree of might isn't an actual movie its non Canon, and it's definitely not the first time kaio-ken or turtle are seen unless you meant turles, but that statement makes no sense because this is his ONLY appearance also turles is absolutely not ever described as gokus brother lol. it was just lazy animation. that's it. all the movies have it
I just love the reasoning TFS had to make this movie. I forgot if it was Lani or Kaiser, but the whole schtick is that one of them was thinking on how to make an Abridged on Tree of Might and it was close to the holidays. They then thought... Tree of Might... Christmas... Chrismas Tree of Might! After that, they contacted the other creator who asked him what he wanted and the response was "Shut up and listen... What if we make the movie... Christmas Tree of Might..." "...Shit that's good."
I think Turles explained that his class was so low that they looked the same, not that they were brothers. Still all the Abridged movies are based off of DBZ movies or specials, the christmas recurring jokes continues onto many a movie too
TREE OF MIGHT It's been a while since I watched it and I forgot about how amazingly well the christmas jokes were written plus turles is severely underrated
PS as far as Turles's hair: it's much less a non-canon nod to potential extended Kakarrot lineage, and much more just a weirdly vague implication that Saiyan hair follicles have a limited number of pre-set formations.
Did you guys skip the dead zone movie? pretty sure that takes place before this one, I also think worlds strongest does but they abridged that one later. Also the reason that they explained away the look similarity back in the day, I'm pretty sure them saying something about most low class sayins have a gene or something that gives them a similar look. Hence, goku, turles, bardock. May have been retconned away by now.
@@Hassan-kf6xj Not just them. A certain list recommended to newbies and that one likely hasn't got Dead Zone in it or much later on. so the react channel isn't to blame if not warned. Now they have.
Team Four Star made Tree of Might first even though it's movie 3. World's Strongest is Movie 2 but TFS did it 7th. So they're watching things in the order that Team Fourstar released them.
Kidding, nothing is consistent in DB. Toriyama just does his own thing. Like all the people saying lower class Saiyans look like Goku, but we never see that again. Probably because Toriyama just wanted to do Evil Goku. Non-head-bonk Goku.
@@cctomcat321 I think the thing about lower level saiyans was that certain low class saiyans would have hair like that. Maybe like a genetic grouping of people. Less that every low class saiyan looked like him. I mean, look at his literal brother.
The reason why Turles looks exactly like Goku is that low-class saiyans only have a limited variations of how they look. Meaning that before Freeza wiped out their planet, there was a bunch of saiyans that just looked exactly alike. Turles in no way related to Goku, Bardock or anyone else.
The plots of the movies before Broly are all just rip-offs of the regular show arcs since Toriyama was too busy to right new stories or do anything beyond provide character designs, so animators had to fly solo and played it safe. Before Broly and Cooler's Return these were just being made to promote the show at trade events since there was no internet at the time to market. This is just basically the second part of the Saiyan Arc when Nappa and Vegeta come, Deadzone is the first part Goku and Piccolo have to team up to fight a powerful foe to save Gohan. World's Strongest is most like the OG dragon ball Red Ribbon army arc, but it's not 1:1 this one is somewhat unique Slug is the whole damn Namek Arc, but just on Earth this time same shtick as Frieza though, evil tyrant wants Dragon Balls to be immortal/have eternal youth Cooler is alt universe Freeza arc where Freeza instead died to the Spirit Bomb and Goku didn't go SS, he even has his own mini-Ginyu Force The Android 13 movie should be really obvious, three androids made by a mad scientist to kill Goku, they didn't even try here lol Fusion Reborn is the alt. universe Buu Saga, where Buu got killed by Gotenks so Goku and Vegeta stay dead, villain even goes from a fat childish demon-monster that likes to eat sweets/souls to a skinny serious demon man that needs Goku and Veggie to set aside their differences and fuse to be beaten Like bottom-left guy said if you didn't see em you didn't miss too much, I have a soft spot for a few like Broly, Cooler's Return, Fusion Reborn (obv the best), Wrath of the Dragon and Cooler's Revenge. The rest are pretty bad until they start making feature lengths when Beerus comes into the picture. The last four especially the Broly reboot and Super Hero are REALLY good and must-watches.
