** 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 Hire 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.

* DefeatMeansFriendship: Or rather servitude, which is how Turles acquired [[http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Daiz Daiz]]

to:

* DeathByIrony: 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.

* InconsistentSpelling: Despite "Tullece" fitting with the food naming motif, the character tends to be mostly referred to as "Turles". He has also been referred to as "Tales", "Tarles", "Tares", and "Taurus", depending on the dub. In an Aversion, he's also called Raditz in one dub.

Asskicking Equals Authority has been renamed.


* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Turles is the only one of his men strong enough to go head to head with Goku, who is in turn the only one of the Z Fighters who is strong enough to go head to head with the Crusher Corps and win (against all of them at once, no less).

* YouAreTheNewTrend: 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 [[FusionDance fusing]], a SpacePirate BigBad, 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).
