Reacting to DBZ Abridged Christmas Tree of Might Movie Without Watching Dragon Ball Z 

Shenron really *can* fulfill wishes according to his own interpretation, but he is actually more likely to interpret in your favor, cause he's a bro

Shenron being consistently tired and done with everybody’s bullshit wishes is really funny to me

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.

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."

Santa is voiced by Kyle Hebert, voice of the narrator and adult Gohan in the English dub.

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

Shenron is a enjoyable character in both and has the most hilarious moment in the entire franchise with the cat

You have to remember the line 'They kept trying to shoot down my sleigh'

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

Turles isn't Goku's brother. Turles is just another low-rank sayian. Apparently, that kind of haircut isn't that uncommon among low-level sayians.

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.

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.

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

Turles, The original Evil Goku.

What about the Shadow Dragons in GT? The reason they existed is because of the constant wishes on Earth's Dragon Balls.

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.

Shenron is a good boy Until GT cigarette Shenron shows up

The reason Turles looks like Goku is that, thats what all lower class male Saiyans look like.

17:36 This is exactly the type of attitude that gets you put in the temporal prison again, H-man.

2:36 that was the entire concept of the spin off Dragon Ball "GT" series. Negative energy building up in the balls from wishes.

1:26 Lowkey the dopest shot in animation history

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.

A small spoiler: Only ONE sayan shoot at Santa every christmas. Guess who?

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.

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.

Watching this around christmas date makes it even better

Fun fact. The guy who voiced Santa is also the narrator from the actual show, among other voices.

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.

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.

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 recommend watching the creator commentaries after you finish the series. Even if you don't react to it it's still really interesting.

I always try (but don't always succeed) to make this a holiday tradition.

11:02 nooo, you heard him say turles, dont lie, because your response was "no, i think is the one with the big green guy"

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.

Heard them say Jesus at the end and I immediately went for Goku’s line from the Cell Saga.

Takas headcanon, one of the writers and VAs, is that Goku’s mouth present is just zerberts

Kyle Hebert who voices santa in this movie is the voice of adult gohan and the narrator in the actual dub.

I can't wait until you guys see the NEWEST Christmas movie!

Honestly a year worth of gasoline yamcha is rich dude

GT goes into the monkey paw aspect of the wishes

The amount of assumptions and guesses are insane lol

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

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

3:01 i believe the term youre looking for is a monkeys paw. Where youll get your wish but in some twisted way. Honestly not sure why its called that but i remember it being called that from somewhere.

actually even in the actual movie they just did a quick gather of the DB's during the intro credits

So the reason its split in two parts is because it came out when youtube videos could only be like 10 minutes

According to takahada in a recent creation reaction on the channel fourstarbento, mouth present is just a kiss.

Fun fact: Santa is voiced by Kyle Hebert, who voices Narrator, Ox King, Adult Gohan, and Pikkon in DBZ

Turles isnt another brother of Goku, like Turles said, he is just another saiyan from Planet Vegeta

The Christmas Tree of Might is here!

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

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.

13:48 I heard that Goku's hairstyle is just common among low-level Saiyans.

13:46 This is the guy they keep glazing for knowing a lot about Dragon Ball and he keeps lying to them 😂

10:02 Oh no! Yamcha’s been Yamcha’ed!

After me and my lady watched this we used to talk about mouth present.... it was funny

0:35 did he just day "Kay-o-kin"?...

I always thought Turles was Goku's uncle for some reason.

Shenron in GT did actually have the monkey paw thing going on for him. It all just built up until poof, Omega Shenron. EDIT: In case you missed it, Santa was Voice Acted by Kyle Hebert, he voiced adult Gohan/Future Gohan, Ox-King, Appule, Blueberry, General White, Pikkon, Captain Chicken, West Kai, King Furry, Pirozhki, and he's the narrator in the Funimation DUB of Dragon Ball Z. The more ya know.

Oh yeah, Turles being Goku's brother is a misconception due to a few dubs that made that error. In reality he just looks like Goku since there wasn't a lot of diversity among low-class Saiyans (in the movie-verse)

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

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

DBZ Resurrection of F: am I a joke to you guys?

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

Toriyama came out and said all low class saiyans look similar

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.

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.

This was the first movie!

Shenron is drawn as being many different sises. Sometimes hundreds of feet long. Sometimes seemingly thousands. It's really inconsistent.

Turles is Goku's uncle. He looks like bardock, who is Goku's father. Goku looks like his father.

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

I think the reason why they made him look like goku is because it's their way so show what goku would had been like if he never hit his head as a child

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.

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.

I prefer _this_ dark Christmas special to the one where they actually _kill_ Santa later.....

6:37 that line aged well

4:00 FXCKIN CLEVER FROM TFS✊🏾🤣🤣🤣🤣

Can't believe TFS predicted goku black 😎

If I recall it correctly the reason that we have so many Sayins looking like Goku is that atleast in the animations all "low class" warriors look the same

Considering that Bulma uses the dragon balls for cosmetics in the new movie, I don’t blame Shenron for being frustrated with the z warriors 😅

19:30 yes y’all saw the dragon 3x now 🤣😂

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.

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 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.

It's his Uncle actually

Turles is a good compelling dbz character

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

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

Have you guys watched World Strongest and Dead Zone?

There's a theory based on actual lore that says all lower class saiyans look alike But that's pretty dumb imo Just go with Goku and Turles being lookalikes It happens

17:18 Remember this

Turles is not related to Goku in any way. Toei just decided they wanted to do an "Evil Goku" story and so just made Goku Black before Goku Black was a thing xD

Shenron showed his dark side though, dragon ball gt 👀

Let's go

You would have seen the dragon before if you had episode 7 in the list.

My headcanon is bardock gets around

"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

Santa Claus *Will Return.*

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

The tree of might looks like the divine tree from naruto
