Fun fact though. Z Broly has apparently commited Kakarot's scent to memory. This is most easily noticed in Xenoverse 2 where if Goku is your mentor, and you speak to him, he demands to be taken to him. This is further reflected in his battle dialogue with Raditz where he notes that it's confusing that it's not Kakarot. I also vaguely recall he also calls Goku Black a "fake Kakarot" in the Infinite History DLC story but I don't remember that too well.

BUT MASAKO!!!! Given the lore of the tree from Xenoverse and the movies; the Tree of Might, or the Shinseiju (edit), is a tree that is meant to be eaten by gods. The Tree of Might is not inherently evil, it just has such a high cost of maintaining it that most planets can't handle it without dying. The Sacred World of The Kais is a planet that is more than capable enough of handling the tree without dying, it has just that much life force that it can sustain itself and the Tree of Might. Elder Kai commented that Turles must have smuggled some fruit and seeds, as both him and King Kai acknowledge that only Gods are supposed to eat it. On Planet Vampa, it wouldn't last long because Vampa may have life, but it is a veritable wasteland, reliant on the predator/prey relationship between the giant green beasts and the monstrous bugs.

[@rositaanna2187]

You will get it

[@someguycalledgoober155]

I think we can get Turles in Dragon Ball in three ways. First way: What you suggested. Second way: I brought this up in the Pikkon video, you can use Chill to gather other Saiyans that gave Frieza the slip. Turles, being a rebel by nature, often buts heads with him, leaving him to be the most used test subject. This could also bring Super Saiyan four in as a product of science and genetic tempering. Turles and the other Saiyans start acting a bit crazy and more feral as time goes on. Third way: We use Tarble to get Turles back. Turles makes his way up the ranks to a mid-class warrior, mainly due to brains, and ends up working with Tarble. Tarble doesn't like how Frieza treats his father, and Turles... Is still a rebel that doesn't like leadership. King Vegeta banishes Turles for openly questioning Frieza's rule. Tarble leaving the royal family seeing that his main ally and maybe friend is, in his mind, unjustly removed from the Saiyan people. Vegeta then does a prideful "You just proved why you can't be the King, you care to much for- Blah blah blah weakling, blah blah blah pride, blah blah blah prince of all Saiyans." Tarbles says something about not everything being about strength and joins Turles to become space pirates.

Wasn't the colour of the scouters supposed to tell the difference between low/mid/and Élite class warriors?

And the red ones were used by the Élite Saiyans. So Turles must have been an Élite; or maybe he just stole that kind of scouter.

I like turles more for nostalgia, though Zamasu is definitely a much more compellingly written character. I've actually been thinking of reworking turles since the broly movie came out and you started making videos on how to reintroduce movie villains. After hearing your ideas its helped put a few more things in perspective and I've redone some of my original idea. Thanks for another great video!

[@mcurran6505]

Here's a idea on how Turles can make his canon debut. During the battle between Goku, Vegeta & Broly in DBS: Broly, Frieza may have swipe samples of Goku & Vegeta's blood from their beating unnoticed. And after retreating Frieza sets out to find brilliant minds from other planets and threatens them to create the ultimate warrior using the blood samples he took. After pain-staking months they ended up creating a saiyan warrior clone resembling Goku but possess a saiyan pride of Vegeta. Earning the name Turles he is told to obey his only master which is Frieza, however he refuses and escapes in search of strong warriors to fight. That was when the scientists discover an massive glitch in the cloning process discovering that Turles would eventually become mentally unstable and become a mindless animal hellbent on destroying everything. That was when Frieza informs them to try again after murdering one of the scientists and warns them "no screw ups!" Eventually they would finally make the perfect warrior in the form of Janemba!

[@andrewgarrett1356]

I love the idea of a smart Saiyan scheming against everyone and biding his time to gain the strength necessary to make a move. I just hope that if something like this does happen, Turles won't lose his intellect and become a brainless bruiser once he gets strong. I think it would be cool to see him run tests on himself so that he can accurately measure the risks his experiments will have on him, and take the necessary steps to ensure he can gain perfect control or his new power. He could also have an army of ruined, monstrous test subjects at his disposal. Cliche, I know, but I still think it would be cool. As for Turles' hair style, maybe he could just wear his hair back like Goku did in the Arale episode from Super, and then it could miraculously grow and look wild as a side effect of his experiments. Or maybe, they could give him a similar hair style as Super Saiyan 4 Goku.

Your idea fixes the biggest problem I've had with Turles for a while. Going back to the video games, I appreciated the fact that they gave Turles more context and more chances to show off his intellect (his debate with Zamasu in the xenoverse dlc was really neat) but it was so frustrating to see him stuck in the same role. All these years later, he was still just a villain that shows up early on and then gets thrown off to the side never to be seen again (just like Raditz). This happened in Xenoverse, Legends, Heroes, and a couple others. With all the new saiyans getting SSJ like it's nothing, it's so weird that Raditz and Turles still can't go SSJ1 (even in DB:Heroes).

[@DimkaSulegnaa]

The idea is rather interesting. It can also lead to a unique spin off of the mystic from that Gohan achieved, that or another spin on SSB. You could also play with the idea of people that consume the fruit of the tree to give them the power to deal perma death like demons to add a level of higher stakes. The tree could a tree from the demon realm instead of a corrupted kai tree.

[@Jaska124]

I've developed a fanfic in my head for years where Turles never came to Earth and instead focused on space pirating and building his strength. Maybe even facing Cooler before the latter went to Earth and unlocking SSJ. Turles would then go on to conquer his own corner of the universe after Frieza disappears on Namek. Decades later maybe Post Buu Saga, after consuming countless fruits of might and training with his Crusher Corps subordinates, Turles finds himself bored with dominating every warrior he's come accross throughout the universe. Turles then turns to figure out what happened to Frieza and King Cold, discovering Earth and its warriors in turn. Sending his henchmen to probe the power of the Earthlings, Turles' underlings invite an unwitting Goku to tour Turles' empire, ending with a confused Goku eventually meeting Turles. Having accidentally revealed Earth having Dragon Balls, Goku finds himself facing someone powered by the energy of countless planets wanting to conquer Earth and use the dragon balls for his own gain, for example eternal youth. Escaping narrowingly with his life via instant transmission, Goku urges Earth to prepare for war. The final battle for the Dragon Balls and the fate of the universe is next...

[@LightBringer666]

turles can be reintroduced as a universe 6 counterpart for goku, much like frost is to freeza. given that goku is the exception to the rule of "evil saiyan who pillages worlds", in the context of universe 6, turles would be the exception to the rule of "good saiyan fighting for peace on other planets"

[@catch22frubert]

If Turles is that smart, and was a scientist, he could bio engineer a tree that made fruit to make himself more powerful. It wouldn't need to be a divine tree per say, though I do like that idea as well. Good video Masako. I definitely enjoyed thinking up a story for this one

[@jamesclapham9776]

I like the idea of Saiyan with a scientific mind; if I were to pitch a story going forward, it would go something like this: Turles was a field researcher for the Frieza Force; one of those people who scouted out planets of interest before the empire began negotiations/sent out Frieza's enforcers. In a similar manner to Lord Chilled in the Bardock special, he discovered a planet with a peculiar variety of plant life. He would then be approached by Kibito; threatened with swift and certain death, the barters for his life. The world of the Kais kept secret, in exchange for a piece of fruit from the tree of might.

Given that Time Rings have established that there's several timelines with multiple universes in them, it's entirely possible for Turles to come from one of these realities. Similar to how Cell and Future Trunks both come from alternate future timelines, separate from one another. Turles could be a Goku who actually accomplished his original mission to conquer Earth and then teamed up with Raditz to abandon the Freiza Force and forge their own path. Becoming space pirates or a rival group to Freiza's own forces, the duo eventually seek out seeds for the Tree and and in the process maybe steal some time rings, that eventually allow them to travel in time and end up in the present day Universe 7? I'm also cool with Turles being from the main timeline and Universe 7 as suggested in this video, I think that would also work really well.

Yeah one aspect i did like about Turles was his "politeness" for lack of a better word while being completely evil.

[@DrakeDragonSpark]

I've actually had an idea for a DBZ fanfiction in which Turles is a genetically-enhanced clone of Goku created by Dr. Gero. He's initially refered to as Android 12 until the Saiyan Saga. When Vegeta and Nappa come to Earth, they decide to recruit him and give him a proper Saiyan name. Now named Turles, he betrays both Vegeta and Nappa, steals their ships, and leaves them stranded on Earth.

[@LunaP1]

Turles was basically Goku’s doppelgänger. He was what Goku could’ve turned in to. At least Cooler got more screen time (two movies), but Turles didn’t get enough screen time and was just forgotten by the creator. Dude could’ve been the Goku Black of DBZ and it would’ve worked!

[@Sonickeyblade00]

My gut theory for how to revive Turles? Make him the "Universe 6 Goku". Now we know that the connected Universes don't have 1 to 1 exact characters, but they do have similar characters: Beerus and Champa, Kale and Broly with their Berserker SSJ forms. Maybe Turles was a Decorated Universe 6 Officer who under-covered a sinister plot of the Supreme Kais of Universe 6 (because we know nothing of them). He investigated the case and flew too close to the sun, so to speak. The Kais leaned heavily on the Sayian Police and Turles was kicked out. But when he left, he took some of his most loyal officers (minions) and some "evidence" from the case (Tree of Might). In this scenario, the Tree of Might was a failed experiment of the Kais and it costs the demise of some planets. Theme of the movie would be what if Goku suffered a traumatic event? Kind of like the Batman/Joker themes of just "One Bad Day" being all it takes to go from Hero to Villain.

YES TURLES!!! I LOVE HIMMMM

[@bestgamesandamva]

we need what if turles turned good

[@stellarva]

@@bestgamesandamva That would be cool, but as Masako stated Turles doesn't have enough of his own personality, he wouldn't be a compelling "good guy character." He'd just be Bardock from SDBH but somewhat smarter, with pinches of Vegeta and Raditz in him.

I remember trying to convince my mom to buy this movie for me and that the nudity in the movie was just a little Asian boy and not “actual nudity” like that mattered 😂

[@PadLeek1]

To fix Turles in a sense, you could give him a backstory like Hush in the Batman comic books. Just have Turles be an onlooker from afar or heard about the exploits of Goku. After a while, he has gathered enough information and decides to become like Goku, but the opposite, whereas Goku lives for fighting and correcting wrongs, Turles is causing wrongs and turning good times bad.

[@GothicSoldier9000]

Considering how smart Turles is shown to be, I can really see him stacking the deck in his favor. Imagine if the Tree of Might was introduced to canon with a retcon that allowed it to pass on an unstable form of god ki to anyone that imbibed its fruit. Now imagine Turles, through his wayfaring, managed to acquire senzu beans and splice them with the fruit to combine the effects of each and multiply their effects exponentially. From there, we just need a suitable trigger for Super Saiyan (seeing his crew, ship and lifetime research destroyed by Beerus for meddling in godly affairs, or by Frieza in a passing encounter?). From here, he learns to combine the god ki stored in his body with his new power to acquire strength very similar to BoG Goku. Maybe around this time, he learns about these nifty things called Dragon Balls, and that Earth and New Namek each have a full set of 7. One of his motivations becomes to restore his Crusher Corp and his research on the hybrid fruit he created, so as to distribute it among his crew and give them more of a fighting chance or running start if the Destroyer or dictator rear their heads again. From here, I'm out of ideas.

Not only were the most recent antagonists Saiyans and not only was one of them a revived Dragon Ball property (Broly) and one of them was an evil Goku (Goku Black), but the villain before Goku Black was Copy Vegeta, another evil clone of a Saiyan.

[@sumerapaleema610]

Turles is one of my favorite villains. Honestly unsure why, he just is. But I do know for sure that one of the coolest parts of him is that before Kid Buu, he was the closest to have successfully "destroyed" Earth because of the Tree of Might sucking up its energy.

[@jordanholland7782]

I would want turles to come back and have the redemption story like vegeta

[@darkhawkgames]

As to the hair, you could have that be part of the corruption of the Tree of Might. Maybe the Divine ki he uses is corrupted somehow; the more he uses it, the more damage he does to himself, ultimately to the point where his own energy would consume him?

[@Yoxiv]

I think we can raise the stakes a bit more with the Tree of Might; have it originate from the demon realm. We've yet to see much of it in the series since Dabura in the Buu saga. Perhaps the trees were used to drain universe 7 planets, being part of the reason why there's so few populated worlds. The tree's use could even have major repercussions were Zeno to learn about its use, giving a possible threat that U7 could be erased if things get out of hand. Plus, it would help expand on the dichotomy of the Kais and demons.

[@d1noc]

A dark divine discarded tree! And he got it on the black market! As a "saiyan-tist"! Omg! Do a what on this! Lol

[@AnthonyDaFox]

I never understood why Vegeta didn't have Dende make a wish on puronga to bring back the saiyan homeworld.

[@MactheMinion2014]

My way of getting Turles into the main series would be to make him come from Universe 6 and his appearance to Goku being a coincidence. His parents would be more like the Universe 7 lot and this would get them in trouble and get them banished from Planet Sadala. They would roam the universe, build up a small gang and sell their services to the highest bidder. Over time his parents would come into contact with Champa and offer their services to destroy planets so that he doesn’t have to, which would please him. He pays them with a Seed of the Tree Might, on the grounds that they deliver most of the fruit to the World of the Kai (In my version the tree can give multiple fruit) and are only allowed to keep two from each tree. They accept and take the seed and set off on their way Years pass and Turles is born and eventually takes over the gang, renaming it the Crusher Corps. He however is more ambitious than his parents and takes more fruit than should be allowed but not so much that it would be noticeable. Over the years he would get stronger and stronger until his power starts to become noticed by the Saiyans of Universe 6. Cabba, Caulifla and Kale are sent to investigate but while they are able to defeat his men, they are no match for Turles without the Potara and are forced to retreat. Turles then sets his sights on Sadala to both get revenge for his parents exile and because his saiyan blood demands he fight other saiyans and uses the planets between him and there to increase his power and that of his crew further. With Hit on the other side of the Universe and Champa not caring they are forced to ask Universe 7 for help and that’s where I’ll leave it as I feel I’d make this way too long if I went into any more detail I should mention now that in my version the Fruit has made Turles unable to access any form of Super Saiyan but his power without it would be on Par with Super Saiyan Blue Also if I were making this a movie/arc I'd give Vegeta the win or even Broly to stir things up

[@shoresean1237]

My scenario: King Vegeta had a eugenics plan, one to which he entrusted his actual brilliant scientists. So these scientists decided you had to see if a low-class low-power nothing could be raised up. Kakarot was chosen and some cell samples taken. His pod was sent away to expose the developing infant to cosmic forces while gestating. Hence, he escaped Da Boom. But he only had his intelligence raised.

[@shoresean1237]

Sorry to self-reply, but your idea with the Tree reminds me of Marvel's Earth-X, where it turned out Earth was just a big egg for a new Celestial.

[@callmekady2731]

My headcanon is that toytaros “barracks secret” is turles’ backstory in universe

[@redhiney6666]

Before dragonball minus there was a fan comic that painted turles as an illegitimate son of bardock and a member of raditz’s juvenile crew. They had to win a tournament to gain the right to go on missions. It went on from there but it was dope. It’s on expergamers channel somewhere
