"Official" Confirmation: Turles Is Goku's Brother!

Steven Perry · Post by **Steven Perry** » Mon Sep 25, 2006 5:47 am

A few years ago, I purchased an official Dragonball Z book from my local store. This is the book that led me to believe that Turles is indeed Goku's brother- it says so in the DBZ test (at the back of the book).

It caused me to believe a load of things (because I was a newbie back then...

), but now I know it's wrong. Well... at least I think so.

Ideas?

"What is the number of the android who fights on the side of Goku and his friends?"

Answer: 18

HUH?

The ONLY android fighting with Goku and the others was Android 16.

Android 18 was just defending herself, and if Cell woulda died, the others were next, and she woulda go after Goku.

Technically, in the image you posted it says that "Tarles"

is actually Goku's Twin, which may not actually mean brother. I could just be implying the fact that Tullece is a look-alike.

Also, this wouldn't happen to be from that book written by that mother and son would it?

EDIT: As a matter of fact there are a lot of incorrect answers here.

Who is King Cold's eldest child?

Answer: Freeza. (I'm pretty sure it's Cooler)

Who the Hell is Tortuga?

And why does it say "King Gold", "Nameck" and "Tarles"?

And I just don't get #14 and #20 (Filler?)

You can just tell that these people are forced to watch by their dubbie kids.

Buu Saga?

And I don't believe Tullece is Goku's brother simply because if all 'he's gokuu's borther!'[sic] were compiled, Bardock would be the father of Goku, Raditz, Tullece, Vegeta, Toma, Broly, and Yamcha.

And that's just silly.

I've got this book, it's the sticker book right?

It sucks.

I've got this sticker book as well (got a complete set of stickers too). There's a lot of bad info in there and some of the name translations are terrible.

Yeah I had that. I thought it said he was his cousin in that? Well whatever it was poor anyway.

Number 11 made me laugh. If anything, it's Vejita who can't stand having Goku by his side.

Yeah... you need to burn that book. No telling what idiots came up with that thing. D:

How official.

Interesting, I never knew Babidi was the leader of the Makai (=hell) Kinda explains why in the anime he sits alone while the rest watches the Buu fight. Babidi of course has to come up with leader-like plans.

Official doesn't mean shit, unless it's something from Toriyama himself. So no.

Please no. I don't want him to be Goku's brother. I want him to be an adopted child *scarred moment*

EDIT: Did you forget the Rumour Mill page?

Also on DaizEX's Tankbon scan, he is not branched:

EDIT2: Pretty poor grammar for an "official" magazine anyway.
EDIT3: I misunderstood the topic. Oh well.

King Gold

ROFL. What the hell kind of translation is that.

These people are not worthy Saiya-Jin!

"King Gold", that's a winner.

Wow, that's just terrible.

It says that he is Goku's twin but not twin brother. You can have a twin like a evil twin (ala Tullece) that is not related. Then again Tullece being Goku's brother is a remote possibility in a fan's imagination despite the Tankbon.

I wish I had this accurate and reliable information when I was first getting into DBZ...
