Awesome / Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might

Go To

  • Turles has a few villainous ones:
    • His ability to punch way above his weight. When he initially fights with Goku he was being overpowered by him and his 30,000 power level... And yet, shortly before, he nearly killed Gohan in Great Ape form, with a power level of 100,000.
    • After being defeated by Turles who had just eaten the Fruit of the Tree of Power, Goku fired a Spirit Bomb at him... And Turles destroyed it. Nobody would ever do that again until the Tournament of Power, and even then it took Jiren and Goku pushing it at each other until it collapsed.
    • The latter one backfires horribly on him, however: after being knocked down, Goku realizes that Turles could pull that trick because most of Earth's energy had already been absorbed by the Tree of Might, hence the Spirit Bomb being weaker than it should have been, and Turles having increased his power by eating one of the Tree's fruits... So he decided to steal the idea and made his next Spirit Bomb from all the energy inside the Tree of Might, pretty much what would end up taking down Kid Buu. Neither Turles nor the Tree of Might survived this one, and Earth got restored.
  • While a darker example, Goku has one in taking down the Crusher Corps. He's flat-out pissed at what Turles and his goons have done to his friends, and it shows. Rarely for the series, Goku basically uses no ki attacks in taking down the Crusher Corps; he just straight-up beats them to death.
