Description
The Tree of Might – Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might (1990) is the third DBZ movie, where a group of space pirates led by Turles plant the Tree of Might on Earth.

📖 Full Summary
Arrival of Turles: A Saiyan named Turles, who looks almost identical to Goku, arrives on Earth with his Crusher Corps.
The Tree of Might: Turles plants the Tree of Might, which grows rapidly, absorbing Earth’s energy to produce fruit that grants godlike strength.
Earth in Danger: As the tree spreads, Earth’s environment begins to collapse—plants die, oceans dry, and the planet weakens.
Z-Fighters vs. Crusher Corps: Gohan, Krillin, Piccolo, and others battle Turles’ minions but struggle against their overwhelming power.
Turles vs. Goku: Turles eats the fruit of the Tree of Might, becoming vastly stronger. He challenges Goku, mocking him for protecting Earth instead of embracing Saiyan conquest.
Climax: Goku uses the Kaio-ken and attempts a Spirit Bomb. At first, the Spirit Bomb fails because the Tree has drained Earth’s energy.
Resolution: Goku draws energy from the remaining life force of the universe, forming a massive Spirit Bomb. He launches it at Turles, destroying both him and the Tree of Might.
Ending: Earth is saved, though scarred by the damage. The Z-Fighters survive, and Goku’s resolve to protect Earth is reaffirmed.
