Summary: A seed of the Tree of Might has been planted on earth by evil space pirates. This plant will devour all life energy of the planet and make earth uninhabitable for any life form. When Goku and companions seek out those responsible for the planting, they find Turles, the leader of the pirates, as well as a fellow Saiyan. Turles powers up by eating fruit from the tree and challenges Goku to a battle.

Commentary: Wow, all of these reviews are starting to sound the same - doesn't fit into the timeline, not too deep... Of course, this one strays away from the Dragonball cuteness, but because of that, it seems to take itself too seriously. If you're a die-hard DBZ fan, go ahead and watch this one. If not, don't bother with it.

Rating: 4/10

Reason for Rating: Same problems as the other DBZ movies before, but not very cute or funny, and takes itself too seriously.
