Please, do not push! Please, do not push! Spectators are not permitted

to enter the competition hall where the preliminaries are held!

Please wait outside...

How come?! We won't be able to see the preliminaries like this!

Nothing I can do! Those are the rules! Waaaa!!

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

We heartily appreciate your efforts to gather here today

for the Tenkaichi Budokai, which is held once every five years,

from so many faraway places.

As 137 hopeful contestants have come here from all over the world,

it will indeed be a worthy determination of who is...

...literally the number-one martial artist under heaven.

A h-hundred and thirty-seven?!

There's a hundred and thirty-seven of these monstrous guys here?

However...

...there are only eight people among the 137

who will be allowed to enter into the final competition.

We will first hold preliminary matches to choose who those eight will be.

Gee, why did they make the window so high?

Oolong, make like a stand for me.

Y-You can ask that old guy to do that, can't you?

If you mean Muten Roshi-sama,

he's not here. He said he had to go to the restroom a bit earlier.

Make like a stand!

W-Why me?!

Just make like it!

Yeesh, it's always like this. Pig-mistreating broad!

I mean, really... Okay, here you go!

So long as you get it.

All right! That sure is what I call a perk!

I still can't reach. Stand up like this.

Stand up, huh?

Come on, hurry!

I'm doing it, dammit!

I can see, I can see! Don't move, now!

So heavy...!

Damn! I can't see a thing, you know!

Now then, I will explain the method of competition and the rules.

The preliminaries are divided into four blocks,

and the two who win from each block will be the contestants

in the final rounds of the Tenkaichi Budokai.

The rules are that there will be one-on-one matches atop the rings.

If you fall out, lose consciousness, or say you give up, you will lose.

However, you must not kill your opponent. The use of weapons is also forbidden.

The time for the preliminary matches is one minute.

In the event a decision is not reached, the winner will be decided by ruling.

Now then, we will have you draw lots and split you into four blocks.

Check the number on your lot with those on the sign,

and divide yourselves into each of the four blocks. That is all.

93, huh? Goku, what about you?

Um, I'm 70, I guess.

Which means you guys are in the third block.

It's true! And I don't even want to fight Goku!

But our numbers are far apart, so we won't hit each other.

Ah, you're right!

Yamcha, what number are you?

35. That's the second block.

–So you're next to us. –Yeah, that's right.

I didn't want to be in the same block as you, so it works out for me.

How come?

You're not sure you can beat him, are you?

Don't be ridiculous! It would be a shame to fight him in the preliminaries.

I want to fight Goku in the final matches, you see.

Goku, don't you lose in the preliminaries!

I'm not going to lose!

Okay then, let's meet up later.

Both you and that Yamcha guy are pretty sure of yourselves.

Even when there's so many of these monster-like guys here!

It's okay! We were trained by the Old-timer, after all!

But Muten Roshi-sama didn't teach us anything at all about how to fight, did he?

We did just as the Old-timer told us to, so there's nothing to worry about!

Fine, if that's true...

Okay then, we will begin the preliminaries for block 3.

Will numbers 69 and 70 please come up into the ring.

I go right away!

Good luck, Goku!

What's this?! Is that kid planning to participate?!

Damn! Number 69 caught a lucky break, huh?

Oh? Is it already Goku's turn?

How about I have myself a good long look at how much training

Goku did at Muten Roshi's place?

It's Son-kun's turn!

Damn... J-Just a little bit more... just a little bit more, right...?

Hey, you, hold me still!

Damn... Just one more centimeter...!

Where is my opponent?!

Right here!

What have we here?

I won't be happy winning against this little ant dropping, you know!

Now you've said it!

Your time limit is one minute.

Hmph! I won't need a whole minute to squash this little guppy!

All right...!

Okay, begin.

Whoops.

H-He vanished!

Over here, over here!

Was that...?

Made it!

He made it, he made it!

Made it! Whoa, hold on– too heavy, don't move around!

Oolong, how did you know that Son-kun had won?

N-Number 70 wins.

W-What happened there just now?

He lost his balance on his own and fell over!

Oh, was that it? What an oaf!

No, he didn't fall on his own.

Undoubtedly, Goku was strengthened formidably by Muten Roshi.

Hey, that was lucky– your opponent fell over on his own!

No, he didn't.

He didn't? How so?

Kuririn, unless you've got a substantial opponent, don't go all-out!

What are you saying?

If you go all-out, see...

Oh! If it isn't Kuririn!

It's him, all right!

E-Elders...

It's been quite a while, hasn't it,

since you ran away from Orinji Temple, almost in tears?

What are you doing in a place like this?

Don't tell me you're trying to enter the Tenkaichi Budokai here, are you?

Y-Yes, I thought I would take part in this...

That's an awful joke! Didn't I warn you that you didn't show any promise?

If you're here, you're in the third block. What number are you?

I am number 93.

That's hilarious!

Shall I tell you who you're going to be fighting against?

It's going to be me!

This will be something to look forward to, huh?

You little rat. Kuririn-san, please don't go too hard on me!

Who were those guys? They sure had a bad attitude!

I was always bullied around by those guys at Orinji Temple.

It's no use, those guys are incredibly strong!

Maybe I'll drop out of the match...

What are you saying?! Give those guys everything you've got!

What? Didn't you just finish telling me not to go all-out?

That's okay! You can put those lousy guys away! Okay?

Give it a shot!

There's Yamcha-sama!

Where, where?

Next to that plate with the "2" written on it.

You're right! Yamcha!

Yamcha!

Stop bouncing around, you're heavy!

Yamcha, good luck!

Hey, hey, hey!

Oh, hold it, hold it!

–Ow-ow-ow! –Ah! I can't see!

I can't see!

I can see.

I can see just fine!

Somebody help me! I can't see!

Now, come on! You can't look!

I can see! What were you doing, for crying out loud?!

I-I'm sorry! I was so startled!

Go on, you pay for them.

W-Why do I have to spend my money?

You saw my panties for free. It's only natural this should be your treat.

I covered you so everyone else couldn't see!

You also looked back and saw, right?

How much?

In the meantime, Muten Roshi-sama hasn't come back yet.

I wonder what could be the matter.

He's probably off chasing some woman's hind end somewhere.

You know, it's really dull not being able to watch the preliminaries.

I absolutely refuse to buy you any more candy, okay?

Oh, really? I was thinking that

if you turned yourself into a ladder, I might give you my panties...

R-Really?!

And, up next, number 93 and 94, please come on up.

I-It's my turn, finally...

Kuririn, hang in there!

He's no match for the number one guy at Orinji Temple!

Well, I guess I'll bully him around for old time's sake.

That guy is nothing special, Kuririn! Just one blow!

D-Don't say something so ridiculous!

Oh, you didn't run away, huh? I'll commend you for that. You're ready for this, right?

Okay, begin.

Well then, I won't hold back!

See?

N-Number 93 wins...

See, just like I said, right?

With the Old-timer's training, we've gotten amazingly tough before we knew it.

Oh, man...!

Come on! I'll turn into a ladder for you, so let's hurry up!

Transform!

Okay, let's go, let's go!

Ah! There's a hole opened up in the wall!

Yahoo! Now we can watch the preliminaries!

Of all the...!

Ah! It's Yamcha-sama!

Yamcha! Good luck!

I'll crush you in one blow!

–See that? –Number 35 wins!

Yamcha's pretty good, too!

Kuririn! Let's stick with it, too!

Yeah!

The fruits of the training Goku and Kuririn received from Muten Roshi

were truly tremendous!

Indeed, they had acquired strength such that everywhere they looked,

they were unstoppable!

Number 70 wins.

You did it!

Begin!

Kuririn, good luck!

–Huh? –That kid was incredible earlier.

Maybe it was a fluke.

I'm a zombie! Just kidding!

Muten Roshi-sama's method of toughening you up sure is incredible, huh?

It can't be... How could he take my kicks, and still get up?

Now then, to start my counterattack...!

I-I give up! I lose!

O-Okay.

What was that? Pretty boring.

Of course, Yamcha was not falling behind Goku and Kuririn.

And so, Goku and the others won their way through their third matches...

...and finally, it came down to the matches to determine

who would appear in the final rounds!

And now, we will begin the match to determine

one of the contestants from block 2.

Will contestants 35 and 45 please come on up?

Yamcha, don't you lose!

Rogafufu-ken...!

What do you mean, Rogafufu-ken?! I'm a real wolf over here!

I'll show you the terror of the real thing!

Yamcha-sama!

Oh, no! Yamcha!

Number 35 wins! He is chosen to appear in the Tenkaichi Budokai!

Oh, you startled me!

–He won! –He did it!

That's my Yamcha-sama!

You made it, huh?

Naturally! You hang in there, too!

Now then, we will hold the match to determine one of the contestants from

Block 3 who will appear in the Tenkaichi Budokai.

Will contestants number 70 and number 82 please come on up?

It's my turn.

Watch yourself.

All right! Here I go!

Go get him, Goku! Get in the tournament!

All right, here goes!

There's no way my Lion's Fang style can lose to this kid!

Okay, begin.

What an awful stance he's got! He's left himself wide open!

So, come on at me, from anywhere you like!

He vanished!

Yoo-hoo!

Off you go!

What are you doing?!

Ring out! Number 70 wins!

I did it!

Yahoo!

You really made it, huh, Goku?

Goku, well done!

Thanks, Yamcha!

However, he's gotten incredibly strong...

If I run into him, I won't be able to beat him like that.

For the next match, will number 93 and number 97 please come up into the ring?

Kuririn, good luck! Let's all enter into the Tenkaichi Budokai!

Yeah!

Begin!

I give up...

Number 93 wins! He is chosen to appear in the Tenkaichi Budokai!

Goku! I did it!

We did it!

Kuririn is pretty good, too. This could be one tough fight.

Everyone will enter! Incredible!

It really is!

They've done well.

Huh? Pops, when did you...?

Goku, Kuririn, and Yamcha were chosen

to be among the eight contestants entering the Tenkaichi Budokai,

and are harmlessly celebrating!

However, they must still fight against other fearsome opponents

if they are to reign over the world of martial arts.

As such, will Goku be able to hold sway?

Come on, fantasy,

This is Awesome! We've qualified for the Tenkaichi Budokai!

If we have reached this far, it's all because of Muten Roshi-sama!

Right, Goku?

The other participants seem very strong. This is going to be great!

I'm not scare of anyone here!

What? Kuririn, you're in the first battle!

Next time on Dragon Ball:

"Watch Out! Kuririn"

What?

Hang on Kuririn! Come and cheer for him!
