That's right! Now's the time for adventure!

So sa ima koso adobenchaa!

Kuririn!

U-Uncle!

At last, the Tenkaichi Budokai has gotten underway,

and in the first match,

Kuririn had made a brilliant come- from-behind move to secure victory!

"Yamcha vs. Jackie Chun"

–I won! I won! –You did it! You did it!

Contestant Kuririn is quite strong!

In a flash, he won his way through the first match!

Awesome.

The guy's just a pipsqueak, but he's good!

I wonder if Old Man Turtle Hermit was watching.

Huh? Where's Muten Roshi-sama?

Say, where did Old Man Turtle Hermit go?

I don't know, but it looks like he's gone someplace.

He was gone before this match started!

What, could he have gone home?

Without even watching our matches?

Still, the Old-timer's scent... is around...

Missy, what was your name again?

Lan-Fan. Nice to meet you.

I-I'm Jackie Chun. Who was your opponent in the match, then?

That serious-looking fellow over there.

Hey, hey, I'm so jealous of you!

I cannot lose. The fate of everyone in the village rests on my efforts.

Big Brother, I'm thirsty!

The well has at last gone dry.

It's no use. We can't raise any crops as long as this drought continues.

In two more months, the rainy season will come.

During the time until then, I will go to the city and buy water.

Namu, our crops are already like this,

and we don't have enough money left to buy two month's worth of water.

In that case, I will go win the Tenkaichi Budokai,

and use the prize money to buy it.

That there should be the tournament at this time

shows that God is thinking of us!

I cannot lose.

Such fierce determination...

Now then, ladies and gentlemen, we will continue on to the second match.

–Old-timer...? –Muten Roshi-sama...?

Look, you guys go wait in the waiting room, if you please.

Mm-hmm...

The second match will be a clash between Contestant Jackie Chun

and Contestant Yamcha!

And so, please make your entrances!

Well then, here I go.

Good luck, Yamcha!

That was a splendid kick, Kuririn.

T-Thank you very much!

Okay, now...

I have a feeling like I've met him before somewhere.

S-Such sacrilege!

Oh, I'm so hungry!

You just got done eating, didn't you?

I'll eat this!

How can you eat before a match?

Namu, please use this money.

It's money gathered from everyone in the village.

It's not much, but I think it should more or less cover your traveling expenses.

You're hungry, right? Eat some?

No, I don't...

What are you doing?!

Who do you think you are?!

You have some objection to that?

Please stop this!

What did you say? You want to go against me?

Over here is Contestant Yamcha.

Win, Yamcha!

Yamcha-sama, good luck to you!

I wonder what kind of gentleman this Jackie Chun is.

What are you saying? Yamcha is your boyfriend, isn't he?

That's okay, isn't it? It's my business whether I fall for him or not, right?

And this is Contestant Jackie Chun!

Peace! Peace!

Is that old man gonna be able to fight?

What's this?! He's just a shabby old man, isn't he?

Hooray! Hooray! Yamcha!

Jackie Chun, huh?

For an old man who's capable of entering the tournament,

I've never even heard of him. What kind of technique does he use?

So then, we will commence the second match! Begin!!

W-What's this? No stance? On top of that, he's wide open!

I can't feel any fighting spirit from him, either.

He must be pretty sure of himself.

Come to think of it, during the preliminaries, this old guy...

...settled all of his matches in a flash.

Anyhow, I guess I'll have to take it to him and see what he's got.

You can't quite hit me, can you?

The old guy's awesome!

You seem to be well trained in actual fighting,

but it's a shame that there's so much waste in your movements.

What was that?!

Hey, Kuririn, come look! That old guy's incredibly strong!

Contestant Yamcha attacks with amazing speed,

but Contestant Chun is avoiding him with no difficulty!

This is footwork you would not expect from an elderly man!

After being put to shame this badly,

the only thing left is to introduce my Rogafufu-ken technique!

Say, Goku, that Yamcha person is pretty strong, right?

Yeah. I've fought him before,

and he was faster than I could see, and ridiculously strong!

Which means that the old guy...

He's awfully strong!

Hey, hey, is Yamcha there okay?

N-No problem! Yamcha-sama still has his Rogafufu-ken!

Y-Yamcha...!

Rogafufu-ken!!

I think I'll present you with a refreshing breeze.

How was that? Nice and cool, I'll bet.

R-Ring out! Contestant Jackie Chun wins!

Incredible! That match was almost like having a dream in broad daylight!

Contestant Chun displayed frightful strength!

He won without laying so much as a hand on him!

T-This can't be! I... I... don't tell me I lost to that elderly man!

Yamcha lost!

D-Does that mean... the next one to fight that old guy...

...i-is me, isn't it?

Mm-hmm.

For Yamcha to be beaten that easily,

it must mean the old guy is awesome, huh?

I have to fight that expert in the fifth match?

Yam–!

Right now, we'd better leave him alone.

You really beat me. I was powerless against you.

You're still young. You'll get stronger as you go on.

Um... By any chance, are you...

–Muten...? –And now, ladies and gentlemen, we continue...

...we continue with the third match.

Contestant Namu versus Contestant Lan-Fan!

"Mmph"

Nice!

Lan-Fan-chan!

La-la-la-la-Lan-Fan-chan!

Goku, where is Muten Roshi right now?

You mean the Old-timer? It looks like he went off somewhere.

Went off somewhere?

Yeah. It seems he disappeared sometime before my match started.

Is that so? I knew it.

That old guy...

What a cutie!

Something smells funny...

What's this, what's this– such a stern gaze, like out of a serious drama?

He is determined! I sense fierce resolve within him!

This despite the fact that the Tenkaichi Budokai

is something you have a festive time at with your friends. Why, then...?

Let's see...

So that's it... That explains why he doesn't fit into a "gag anime."

I am going to be sure to see through that old guy for what he really is.

Now then... the third match is about to begin.

Go easy on me, okay?

Match 3, begin!!

Ee-yow!

Oh, no! Contestant Namu has made Contestant Lan-Fan cry!

How awful! How awful!

It hurts!

S-Sorry. Are you all right?

S-See here, Namu!

Are you sure it's okay to make such a pichi-pichi gal cry?!

That guy...

Here!

If that is the way you want it,

I will no longer think of you as a woman!

I will fight you as if you were a man,

and a sworn enemy, with all of my power!

Oh, dear! Contestant Namu has gotten angry!

His gaze... his gaze has turned utterly stern!

Don't be so mad!

Your cutesy act will no longer work!

Well then, my reserve card...

Hm-hmm, what do you think, my pure-hearted man?

How about that? You can't look at me, can you?

Nice! Nice! So jiggly! I can't stand it!

T-That vulgar remark just now...! I knew it! That elderly man is...!

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!

As long as you're at it, let's see you take everything off!

His extraordinary strength... Is Jackie Chun... Muten Roshi...?

If that's the case, then he's not an opponent that I could have beaten...

Coochie, coochie, coochie!

Coochie, coochie, coochie!

Such formidable power! To think that there was such a technique as this!

Kuririn, why is that guy running away?

I-It's something a child wouldn't understand.

Uh-oh, there's nowhere left!

While it is a most enviable assault,

the pure-hearted Contestant Namu is unable to do anything!

Hey! What's wrong?!

T-The water...

The well has at last gone dry.

Namu, please use this money.

It's been gathered from everyone in the village.

I think it should cover your traveling expenses.

Big Brother, I'm thirsty.

Everyone in the village is waiting on me!

This match is mine!

Contestant Lan-Fan has moved to attack without delay!

That's it! If I close my eyes...!

I can get by without gazing upon the skin of a woman!

He did it!

Poor thing!

–He did it! –You did it! You did it!

1... 2... 3... 4...

5... 6... 7...

8... 9... 10...

Contestant Namu has obtained victory with just one blow!

I-Is she all right?

Shake it off, shake it off!

Are you okay? Are you okay?

Um... could you please not help yourself to touching the contestant?

In my thinking, that is unmistakably Muten Roshi...

Jackie Chun easily disposed of the formidable Yamcha.

And, carrying the fate of the people of his village,

Namu fought with all his might.

At this ferocious Tenkaichi Budokai, Goku is about to take his turn!

And his secret technique is terrible! I don't know how to attack him.

"He's Here! The Mighty Foe Giran"
