A Turtle Shell (亀の甲羅 Kame no Kōra) is the shell of a turtle. One was first seen on the "Turtle Hermit" Master Roshi's back when Goku and Bulma first met him. Weighted Turtle Shells are occasionally utilized as part of Master Roshi's Training thus are utilized by members of the Turtle School as weighted training gear.

"A shell the Turtle Hermit carries. It isn't heavy." |
In Dragon Ball Xenoverse, it is called Turtle Hermit's Shell and is an accessory the Future Warrior can be purchased at the Accessory Shop in Toki Toki City's Industrial Sector. However it function is purely cosmetic and like all accessories it does not effect the Future Warrior's stats when worn. Its description implies that the Turtle Shells normally worn by Master Roshi and the accessory itself are not weighted indicating they are more of a fashion accessory and not training gear like the shells used for training by the Turtle School (similar to how only some of the Goku's Turtle Hermit Gi are weighted).
