Darker and Edgier: The film as a whole is this to the material at the time. Not only was Turles one of the more successful movie villains, the way the tree sucks everything up as well as the overall concept is quite grim.

comment
Inexplicably Identical Individuals: Turles looks exactly like Goku. Some supplemental material suggests Saiyans whose parents are of lower rank share a common ancestry as a result of Planet Vegeta's Fantastic Caste System. Some dubs either say Turles is Goku's brother or clone. In the film, Gohan acknowledges the resemblance, then Turles gives some explanation:

The Worf Effect
 Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might / int_178ca149
comment
The Worf Effect: Before Jiren, it was the only time a Spirit Bomb in the series or movies was outright beaten back by the target. Vegeta and Frieza survived it and Buu was able to hold it from exploding on him, but Turles, empowered by the fruit of the tree, simply counters it. It's explained that Goku harnessed the energy of the Earth in making it, but the Tree had drained it of anything useful. In the second attempt, Goku tapped directly into the tree and that worked far better. Turles also more or less owns Piccolo for free, which counts as this seeing as how Piccolo at the time was the second strongest person on Earth. The Crusher Corps fall prey to this in proud DBZ tradition. They defeat all the other Z Fighters easily once they get serious, yet they cannot match Goku even attacking him all at once and each goes down with a single blow.

Hidden Depths: All There in the Manual, sure, but as detailed on the character page, there is significantly more backstory to each member of Turles's Crusher Corps than the movie lets on (much more than is typical for DBZ henchmen), to the point where some of them honestly border on Hero of Another Story.

Vocal Dissonance: Turles shares his voice actress with the Son males. While Goku and Gohan having the same VA is a matter of taste, the battle-hardened space pirate sharing a voice with the five-year-old is quite dissonant. Subverted in the American dub, however, which gives Turles a more fitting voice, and the rest of the dubs, who tend to give him the same voice actor as Adult Goku, who generally is male and sounds accordingly.

Power-Up Food: The Tree's fruit, said to be for the Kais alone to eat. They're so powerful that Goku is able to kill Turles by using their energy to create an insanely powerful Spirit Bomb.

Combat Pragmatist: Turles is a pretty clever fighter. He forces Gohan to go into his great ape form, and he also destroys the fake moon to avoid looking at it by mistake, causing the heroes to have to fight an uncontrollable Gohan while he's rampaging. When Gohan's pet dragon calms him down, Turles just blasts him away, angering him - this backfires as Gohan turns his attention to Turles, who just decides to kill him.

When Trees Attack: The Tree of Might is not sentient nor does it attack on command per se, but due to its sudden and extreme growth its manifestation is effectively a form of this. It lays much of a city to waste, and throughout the film shots are interspersed of its destructive effects on other parts of the world.

 Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: While the Tree of Might and its fruit is not explored in detail, it is stated by King Kai that the Fruit is meant only for the gods and Eternal Dragons to eat. Future Dragon Ball media would later state that the Shinjin, the godly race where gods as the Supreme Kai and King Kai belong to, come from fruits themselves, meaning that Turles was possibly eating unborn Kais. Luckily, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 rejected this last part.

comment
You Are the New Trend: Interestingly, the movie itself can be said to be a meta example of this trope, as many of its elements (silly posing minions, two characters fusing, a Space Pirate Big Bad, etc.) would go on to be reused both in the series proper and in later movies, with at least one of these elements becoming a major part of the final arc of the series itself. In many ways, Tree of Might can be said to be the most trendsetting of all the DBZ films (which is probably why it is by far the most dubbed of them, with an unprecedented five different English dubs in addition to the numerous other languages the movie has been dubbed in).

No Ontological Inertia: Despite the Tree of Might draining so much of Earth's energy that it appears as a lifeless brown world from space, its destruction at the end causes all life/water/etc on Earth to be returned to the exact state it was before the Tree was planted. With a worldwide shower of magic pixie dust (or something), no less.

Super Mode: Although he never became an actual Super Saiyan, Turles may have, at one point, been the strongest character in the franchise. Once he eats the Tree of Might's fruit, he powers up to the point that his muscles bulge even more noticeably than before. He becomes so powerful that the only way Goku can beat him is to make a Spirit Bomb. His first attempt doesn't work at all. He only succeeds in killing him by making the second one out of the remaining uneaten fruit.

What Happened to the Mouse?
 Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might / int_863fa679
comment
What Happened to the Mouse?: Turles can be considered one of these post-movie, as he is one of the few villains who was never shown in Hell and never came back in any way (which was particularly jarring in Fusion Reborn where his minions came back temporarily but Turles himself was nowhere to be found). In this movie itself, Chi-Chi is never heard from again after forbidding Gohan to join the other Z-Warriors in battle...only for Gohan to sneak out anyway. She doesn't even appear on the camping trip to close out the film, whereas everyone else, bar Piccolo, is present. Nor is she ever seen amending her opinion on letting Haiya Dragon stick around, though we hear later in Movie 5, plus a throwaway line at the start of the Cell arc, that she still doesn't like the creature.

Mr. Exposition: A particularly egregious line by Krillin, which he delivers while lying on the ground, seeing how Goku failed to defeat Turles with the Spirit Bomb he created. And then he comments on the situation again when Goku absorbed the energy of the tree to form another, more powerful Spirit Bomb, and defeat Turles for good. King Kai also "helpfully" takes up this role at the end, explaining to his pet cricket and monkey (and any viewers who might have missed it) exactly how Goku was able to defeat Turles and save the world.

Death by Irony: What ultimately does Turles in was that the Tree of Might itself contributed its energy to Goku's Spirit Bomb, making it far stronger than the previous that didn't have enough energy to defeat Turles. But the Tree itself had enough power to destroy itself, which allowed Goku to defeat Turles and destroy the tree, as King Kai surmises.

Multiple-Choice Past: Foreign-language dubs try to give a reason for why Turles looks like Goku, and none of them agree with each other. He's either a clone of Goku, his Evil Twin (in the biological sense, one even renaming him Raditz, after Goku's actual canon brother that looks nothing like Turles), or just a Saiyan who happens to look like him (the last being the official explanation).

 Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might / int_ad1db87c
comment
Oh, Crap!: Turles has this expression as he's fighting Goku, while trying to play off all his attacks as lucky shots. He gets this expression again when Goku's second Spirit Bomb, powered by the fruit, overtakes his attack.

Sadist: In addition to having the ultimate goal of draining the life on Earth for power, Turles quite enjoys the pain he inflicts in the process. A good examples is him grinding Goku's head into the dirt while preparing to finish him off.

Freudian Excuse
 Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might / int_c868a42a
comment
Freudian Excuse: All There in the Manual establishes that Turles's ambitions of interstellar conquest were more than a little influenced by Frieza's like-minded reign, to the point that in the Dragon Ball Xenoverse games Turles explicitly states he intends to seize Frieza's home planet and wipe out his species entirely. Frieza, for his part, considers Turles "a pale imitation of my greatness."

Planet Eater: A variation. While Turles cannot eat the literal planet, he instead plants the Tree of Might and when the tree drains the world of its energy to make the fruit, he can gain that energy by consuming said fruit.

World Tree: Inverted with the planet-draining Tree of Might, though the Tree is not itself malevolent as the material can sometimes suggest in translation. All There in the Manual establishes it as a sort of holy plant that was only ever meant to be eaten by the gods (how Turles got ahold of the seeds of such a plant is never explained, though).

Continuity Snarl
 Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might / int_df582b0b
comment
Continuity Snarl: Much like with most of the other films, is not part of the main continuity and in turn suffers from inconsistencies. The other human members of the Z Fighters are still alive, and Yamcha has King Kai's emblem. However, the absence of Vegeta or Goku being able to go Super Saiyan prevents this from taking place after Frieza's defeat, which is when the other humans would be alive. According to Daizenshuu 6, the movie would take place after Goku's arrival on Namek, but before his fight with Frieza, suggesting that it takes place in an Alternate Timeline.

Self-Made Man: In keeping with his Shadow Archetype theme, supplemental material suggests Turles was once been a low-ranking Saiyan warrior of no real note. Planet Vegeta's Fantastic Caste System proposes one of low rank will never live up to his superiors. Considering Turles is at least on par if not stronger than Saiyan Saga Vegeta, the strongest of the elite Saiyan class at the time, he went From Nobody to Nightmare.

Early-Bird Cameo: Goku wears his "Go" gi and uses Kaio-ken x10, which didn't appear in the anime until several months after the movie premiered. In fact, they only made their debut in the manga a few days before the movie's premiere. Yamcha's gi has the King Kai symbol on the back, even though this movie came out a year before he was wished back with the Dragon Balls in the manga.
