However, this respect eventually was warped to sheer hatred for his own race, evidenced how he was brought back through Dr. He also refused to believe that Kakarot had been killed as a child. HQ at Frieza Race's homeworld upon exterminating them, he would rebuild the Saiyan civilization there in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. However, he does seem to have some modicum of respect for his fellow Saiyans, with his even implying that once he establishes the Turles Crusher Corps. He also seems to enjoy sake and finds pleasure in seeing others suffer, as to how he laughed when Goku was being attacked by his own son or abusive towards Shaun's family include his wife. As with many other villains before and after him, his main objective is to conquer the universe, though he plans on doing so by using his Tree of Might, even if it means killing so many innocent people in the process and attracting to Shaun's wife, Danielle, he's planning to used her and taking her with him as his hostage if he's threatened to hurt Zesmond, Jimmy and Kayla when he's wanted is Kayla's immortality of Kaylah Spencer.
As such, his lack of empathy was such that, when Goku accuses Turles of not knowing the difference between good and evil, Turles reveals he has a firm grasp on what good and evil is, yet does not care about it. His cruel treatment of Gohan or Kayla proves that he cares little to nothing for others, shown again when he reveals no sadness what-so-ever when Goku and Shaun defeats his loyal subordinates. He is shown to be merciless, prideful and confident. In the poster for the showing of The Tree of Might, Pink, and Kennosuke-sama at the 1990 Toei Anime Fair, Turles is featured with Battle Armor that is white with a dark blue chest plate and gauntlets, and yellow shoulder pads. In the film itself, Turles says that he looks like Goku because they are low-class and because the low-class don't have many distinct physical looks. Out of all the low-class soldiers wearing Scouters in the series, Turles is the only one whose Scouter lens is red. Turles wears blue-gray and black Battle Armor. In the Dragon Ball Z: Anime Film Comics, it is stated that the reason why Turles and Goku look alike is that the facial patterns of each warrior are similar within the low-rank Saiyans. He wears grey and black saiyan Battle Armor. Turles also bears a great resemblance to Bardock, Goku's father. However during the events of Dragon Ball Z: Tree Of Might, Turles calls Goku low-class trash and Shaun a stupid low-class Saiyan Spencer prince, implying Turles may not be a low-rank soldier. In the Dragon Ball Z: Anime Film Comics, it was stated that the reason why Turles and Goku looked alike is because within the low-rank Saiyans, the facial patterns of each warrior were similar, thus making it easy to mark which Saiyans were low-class warriors.
Ignoring the elongated "a" sound, it becomes the accurate Japanese spelling of "lettuce", レタス retasu.Īside from a different skin tone and level of spikiness of his hair, Turles looks exactly the same as Goku. If the first two syllables are rearranged, it becomes レタース, retāsu. Turles' name is a pun on the vegetable "lettuce".
