Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might

A Saiyan survivor named Turles arrives on Earth with a small crew of space pirates and plants a sacred tree. Its fruit grants enormous power to whoever eats it, but the tree draws the energy from the planet it grows on, threatening all life there. Warned of the danger, Goku and his friends set out to destroy the tree before it drains the world, and they come under attack from Turles and his men. Turles himself grows far stronger once he eats a fruit, and Goku ends up fighting him while trying to protect Gohan and the planet.

The film is directed by Daisuke Nishio, the sixth of the fourteen films he directed in chronological order, following Dragon Ball Z: The World's Strongest and preceding Dragon Ball Z: Super Android 13! Takao Koyama wrote the screenplay, and Masako Nozawa voices Goku, Gohan and Turles, with Mayumi Tanaka, Hirotaka Suzuoki, Toru Furuya, Toshio Furukawa and Hiroko Emori among the cast. It runs just over an hour and was released in Japan in June 1990, taking about nine million dollars worldwide.
