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

[@gregcourtney751]

And really realisyic honestly.

[@MattHunX]

Man, I wonder what TFS could've done with the Shadow Dragons saga from GT. Some of them, like Haze and Naturon Shenron were funny enough already.

[@kaialone]

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

[@LycanFerret]

Well if he interprets wrong then they have to summon him again to fix it. And he hates being summoned for prolonged periods of time.

[@johnnygyro2295]

Shenron usually gets wishes right, but the one time he got it wrong, at least to my memory, was when the Pilaf gang wished for their youth back.

[@MetaFanWing]

⁠@@johnnygyro2295 Since he did the same thing for King Piccolo successfully, maybe he just really wanted to spite Pilaf.

[@lucasinazumai9873]

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."

[@stardmg]

Lani: The tree... Kaiser: Of might... Lani & Kaiser: The CHRISTMAS TREE OF MIGHT

[@wingedbluj1674]

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.

[@XenoVibezz]

Nope all low class saiyans have that type of hair that been explained idk where you got that info from 😂

[@SuperUmizoomi]

the in lore reason is theyre both low class saiyans he says that in the movie

[@dannybob42]

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

[@painvillegaming4119]

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

[@heykenzo4284]

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.

[@charlesjones9860]

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.

[@charlesjones9860]

Of which I'd say, the latter is arguably MORE left-field of Toriyama lol

[@XenoVibezz]

Nope all low class saiyans have that type of hair that been explained idk where you got that info from 😂

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.

[@zacharygroysman279]

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

[@XenoVibezz]

What mold? Which English dub was this😂 at least in the Japanese version or canon version all low class warriors got Goku’s hair

[@deathwolf890]

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.

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.

[@mentaya11]

It's an interesting conundrum. Immortality does not inherently mean you can't be killed, but invulnerability doesn't mean you can't die of old age.

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

[@cctomcat321]

He's infinity long... Just some infinities are smaller than others. Make sense?

[@cctomcat321]

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.

[@thomasdahlberg5920]

@@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.

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.

[@Dad......]

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

[@ViewerOnline101]

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.

[@Hawkcam1996]

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.

[@embran8486]

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.

[@DXDragon38]

The Christmas Tree of Might is here!

[@digitaladventurer2142]

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

[@lmaouwild]

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

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

[@mdavissq3d]

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.

[@krbchris26]

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.

[@matiaspereyra9392]

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

[@thomaswhite5122]

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

[@phtevenj]

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

[@lackluster4777]

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.

[@zucchi6148]

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

[@element4055]

[@ScorpionStrike7]

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 😅

[@cjpolett2055]

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.

[@sheogorath6834]

The one with Tapion could also fit in the continuity I think.

[@drizma]

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.

[@CassieJo]

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."

[@J0ECRAWF15H]

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

[@MrMeddyman]

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.
