"The Tenkaichi Budokai Begins!"

The Turtle Hermit's super-hard training has finally begun.

It seemed to be so harsh that it could not be kept up with.

However, with a single-minded desire to become stronger,

Goku and Kuririn continued with it most seriously, day after day.

Further, the hopes of maybe being able to enter the Tenkaichi Budokai,

which was now coming up in five months,

also served to encourage them on.

I wonder how long it will be before we can be taught some fighting styles...

I don't know...

I guess he won't teach us until we can move that huge rock!

And so, this continued, as the days and months passed by...

Before they had realized it,

they were able to handle their harsh training with ease.

I sure am hungry.

They're doing better than I thought.

"We humbly accept this food!"

Another helping!

Sure...

Another helping!

Okay, okay!

Huh?

I-I can't see...!

Another helping!

Oh dear, it's empty already? Just a moment, okay?

I'll bring some more right out.

Dammit, you guys!

–Huh? Where's Roshi-sama? –Taking a crap, probably.

Thanks for waiting! Here it is!

Oh! H-Here she comes!

Oof! Here we go!

Roshi-sama!

Old-timer, the bathroom's that way!

And so...

...one day, as the Tenkaichi Budokai

had drawn to within a month away...

Old-timer!

Old-timer! Old-timer, come here a minute!

What is it?

Just come, just come! Hurry, hurry!

C-Come?! W-What's going on?!

This here! This!

Is there something the matter with this boulder?

We've become able to move this boulder!

Watch this!

Y-You don't mean it...!

See?

I'll do it next! I can't move it as much as Goku, but still...

See? Now you'll teach us fighting styles, right?

N-Not too shabby, huh?

I was joking about being able to move that boulder.

What remarkable guys these are!

We're about to be taught fighting styles now! Oh, boy, oh, boy!

We're going to try hard!

When you say fighting styles,

there's really not much more for me to teach you.

T-That can't be!

The fundamentals of the Eternal Turtle School technique

have all been included in the training...

...you two have gone through every day for the last seven months.

You don't seem to realize it yourselves yet, but your eyes, fists and legs,

indeed your whole bodies, as well as the insides of your heads,

have all been shaped up.

Fighting styles are nothing more than the application of them.

Old-timer, can we win without knowing any technique?

The martial arts are not about winning.

They are to keep you from losing to yourselves.

To that end, you are to utilize the basics you have acquired up to now

to think up your own fighting styles and learn them yourselves!

B-But if we are to win at the Tenkaichi Budokai...

Your purpose at the Tenkaichi Budokai is not to win.

You couldn't win anyhow.

You are to put your abilities to the test,

and take the opportunity to further your training.

Which is why, in the next month before the tournament,

I don't have any particular fighting styles to teach you.

Do the same things you've been doing.

However, to finish with, you will carry double the weight,

and wear these 40-kilo shells!

"Thunk"

Say, Goku, do you think that just by doing this,

we'll really be able to enter the Tenkaichi Budokai?

Only eight people out of a whole lot can enter, right? I don't know.

It's been a month since I retreated to this mountain,

and I've become stronger.

Maybe it's about time I return to the city.

For crying out loud, that Yamcha...!

Since he's gone off training, he hasn't sent a single letter!

It's most unappealing!

It cannot be helped.

Winning in the Tenkaichi Budokai is Yamcha-sama's dream, after all.

But he's gotten me worried about him, hasn't he?!

Between the tournament and myself, which is more important to him?!

Yamcha is out right now lying dead in a field. Rest his soul.

Don't say such ill-fated things, would you?

Aw, geez...

Thank you very...

M-Molester!

You dummy, it's me, it's me!

I-It couldn't be...

Yamcha!

Yamcha-sama!

I'm back, Pu'er!

Yamcha-sama!

–Have you been well? –Yes!

Yamcha-sama, you're looking well, too!

I never!

How happy-go-lucky of you, getting others all terribly worried about you!

Sorry...

Still... such dirty clothes!

I've been thinking this for a while,

but long hair is unfashionable nowadays.

I'd want more of a young cut...

...for any boyfriend of mine.

Is that so?

And so, more time passed,

until at last the Tenkaichi Budokai came to within a day away.

All right. It's just about time. We're leaving for South City!

–Right! –Let's do it!

You guys can take off those shells now.

Thank goodness! It would have been a little embarrassing to go like this.

My body seems lighter! I don't feel any weight at all!

Try jumping as hard as you can.

–We... –...flew by ourselves, huh?

Awesome!!

Awesome, awesome! I can run amazingly fast!

And I'm not falling behind you!

Hold on, hold on, both of you!

What is it?

This is a present from me.

Lunch-san, did you make this?

Yes.

This is the first time I've worn these kinds of clothes!

Perfect! They look good on you!

You look kind of funny!

What about you?

Come on. If we don't hurry, we'll miss our plane. Get in, get in.

–Well then, do your best! –Right!

–Good luck! –Yeah!

Okay then, Lunch-san, look after things for us!

See you later!

Incredible, huh?! Something this huge can fly, can it?

But it's a lot slower than Kinto'un.

What a bumpkin.

Would anyone like juice, coffee or a brandy-and-water?

Please, excuse me!

Old-timer, what's that? The ground is glowing!

Oh, that's the city. The lights of the city.

So the city glows at night!

Pay no mind, pay no mind.

So, this is the city!

D-Don't look about so much! It's embarrassing!

Hey, taxi!

To the Tenkaichi Budokai grounds.

Very good!

And, here we are.

Now, now, are there any others wishing to participate?

Tonight at 12 o'clock is the deadline!

Wow, there sure are a lot of people in the world, huh?

"Tenkaichi Budokai"

I-I'm starting to get butterflies in my stomach...

I would like to apply.

Fine. Your name, please.

No, not me. Those two.

They're spectators, right?

No, no, they're going to participate in the tournament.

T-Those children?

Hey! Goku! Goku!

Goku!

Did you call me?

Hey, Goku! It sure has been a while, huh?

Who are you?

Rogafufu-ken!!

Yamcha!

Finally figured it out, huh?

It's been an awful long time!

Your hair is different, so I didn't know it was you!

I'm told that in the city, long hair is unfashionable.

H-Hey, who is this?

This is my friend. His name is Yamcha.

This is Kuririn, who I went through training with at the Old-timer's place.

–Nice to meet you. –N-Nice to meet you.

Hey there, you guys need to put your names on– huh?

S-Son-kun!

Bulma! Oolong! Pu'er!

Wow, Goku! It's been so long!

Sure has!

Has everyone been okay?

Hold on! What are you doing here?

Hello!

T-Turtle Hermit-san!

Where in the world are you living now?!

We went to visit the island in order to see Goku, but there was nothing there!

It was too small there for Goku and the other's training, so we moved.

But never mind that...

How about it? Let me have a little pafu-pafu for old time's sake, okay?

A little pafu-pafu, okay?

Let me do it, okay? Pafu-pafu, pafu-pafu?!

Okay? Pafu-pafu...

You think I would?!

That old guy hasn't changed in the slightest.

Still if you're entering, Goku, I can't very well celebrate, huh?

Starting in tomorrow's matches, we'll be each other's opponents, after all.

Tomorrow? They're not starting the matches now?

What are you saying? Tonight you're staying at your accommodations,

and then the matches start tomorrow early in the morning.

Oh. I'm sure disappointed.

Soon after being immersed in a joyful reunion,

they alleviated the fatigue of their journey.

And then, finally, the curtain was raised on the Tenkaichi Budokai.

There sure are a lot of people!

I wonder if there are a lot of contestants, too.

There'd have to be a lot of them, huh?

So now, go on to the preliminary hall. Don't wander off and get lost.

Will those contestants participating in the tournament

please enter the competition hall so that we can hold the preliminaries?

That way, huh?

Are you guys really planning to participate?

Yeah! I mean, yes!

W-Well, I suppose so...

"Competition Hall"

Well, this is as far as I accompany you. Now, go on and do your best!

Right!

Oh, I almost forgot.

It won't be easy to fight in those outfits, after all. Here.

These look great!

They sure stand out. It would look bad if we lose.

Yo, Goku! I like it!

Those eight contestants that win their way through the preliminaries

will fight out front, where the spectators are watching.

I will be cheering from out front as well,

and I'd like nothing better than to see you out there.

We'll try our hardest!

Do your best, Yamcha!

Yeah. I've trained a lot for this day. I won't lose that easily.

Are all these guys contestants?

I'm starting to lose my confidence.

We will now begin the Tenkaichi Budokai preliminary matches!

The Tenkaichi Budokai finally begins!

Will Goku and Kuririn be able to display the fruits of their harsh training,

and win their way through the preliminaries?

And what about Yamcha?

Come on, fantasy,

Oide fantajii

love, and mystery

sukisa misuterii

Don't you hide your youth

Tokimeku mune ni

kira-kira hikatta yume o ageru yo

Heya! I'm Goku!

The elimination rounds for the Tenkaichi Budokai have started.

All those tough looking guys are no match for us.

I'm guessing it's because of the Turtle Hermits' training!

We have to qualify, right Kuririn?

Yeah! They can't compete with us!

Next time on Dragon Ball:

"Will it Appear?! The Power From the Training"

Come cheer for us!
