Three years have passed since Goku defeated Piccolo Daimao.

"Tenkaichi Budokai"

Now it's time for the Tenkaichi Budokai, which has been eagerly anticipated by all.

A steady stream of fighters seeking the title

of "number-one martial artist under heaven" has gathered here.

"The Reunion Before the Storm"

All fighters who wish to enter the tournament must register today!

Please be aware that if you fail to register today,

you will be unable to participate in tomorrow's qualifying rounds!

Where could everyone be?

Don't tell me that they've forgotten about today, of all days...

Of course they wouldn't!

Three years certainly went by quickly...

Didn't they, though?

I wish Goku and the others would come soon!

Oh?!

Pu'er! Oolong! Over here!

It's been a while, old man!

It's good to see you again, Muten Roshi-sama!

Oolong, have you been collecting girls' panties as usual?

It's been three years and that's the first thing you ask...

You're as gloomy as you ever were!

Well you're as dirty and perverted as you ever were!

It's great to see you again!

Bulma-san!

The others aren't here yet?

No...

I'm at a loss for words! You've grown even more feminine!

Keep your hands off my rear!

I see your personality hasn't matured, though!

Neither has yours!

By the way, what about Yamcha? He was with you, was he not?

He came back to West City once, and then he went off somewhere...

He left to train by himself.

And left me behind!

Yamcha too, eh?

Kuririn never came back at all!

Kuririn, too?

They must have been enormously motivated by Goku three years ago.

I can't wait to see how much stronger they've grown!

Catch it!

Please!

Don't cry, I'll get it for you!

I can't get it!

Oolong! You get it!

How am I supposed to reach something you can't reach?

Turn into a giant or something, I don't know.

Well, I guess I could...

Hold on. I'll get it for you.

But in return for the favor...

Could you, uh...

Could I what?!

No, never mind!

Hi!

Do you know him?

No. Do you know him, Oolong?

Pu'er?

No...

Um...

Here you go, Bulma!

How do you know my name?

Old-timer! I'm so glad you're alive again!

You all look great!

Huh? "Old-timer"...?

Where's Kuririn, Yamcha, Tenshinhan, and Chiaotzu?

–It... –...can't be!

G-Goku!

What's wrong? Isn't it obvious?

"Tenkaichi Budokai"

Oh, good! The rain's letting up!

Are you really Goku?!

What? You can't tell it's me with this wrapped around my head?

Here, I'll take it off! Then you can see!

Well? Are you convinced now?

I'm Son Goku!

Lady!

My balloon?

Oh, here you are!

Thank you!

Bulma! Did you and the Old-timer shrink or something?

No, you really grew up!

Now that you mention it, maybe I did grow a little taller, huh...?

You did! You did!

It was only natural that we couldn't recognize you right away!

Are you really that Son-kun?

Bulma! Your lips are red! Are you sick?!

Ugh! It's lipstick! Lipstick!

Yep! He's definitely Son-kun!

All fighters wishing to participate in the tournament

are requested to register as soon as possible!

Goku! Hurry and register!

Have Kuririn and the others registered yet, Old-timer?

It seems they have yet to arrive.

Alright, I'll be back in a minute!

How astonishing!

I can't believe it! That Son-kun's grown up into such a handsome young man!

Yamcha is even handsomer!

Oh? Are you sure?

Fickle woman.

The register desk will be closing shortly!

Please hurry if you haven't registered yet!

Something has come up, so a couple of entrants have yet to arrive...

Can I register for them?

Only participants themselves may register, so we cannot allow that.

No luck, Old-timer?

No.

It's Tenshinhan, the champion from the last tournament, and some others...

I'm sorry, but...

I see. So, how much time do they have left?

Five minutes.

Eh? Five minutes?!

I'll go look for them!

What could they be doing?

Three minutes remaining!

Do you suppose they won't show up?

They'll be here soon!

Two minutes remaining!

Worrying me to death as usual!

Any luck, Pu'er?

I couldn't find any sign of them at all...

One minute remaining!

Oolong! Transform into Yamcha and the others and sign up for them!

I have no problem with it,

but after I transform,

I have to wait one minute until I can do another transformation.

Which means I can only transform into one person.

I can transform into Yamcha-sama, but...

But that would leave Tenshinhan and Chiaotzu out, wouldn't it...?

But there's no other choice!

In this situation, even if it's just Yamcha and Kuririn...

But that would be unfair to Tenshinhan and Chiaotzu!

They made it in time!

Over at last...

–Yamcha! –Tenshinhan!

Hey!

Yamcha-sama!

Pu'er!

We all ran into each other on the way here...

It is good to see you again, Muten Roshi-sama.

Look at how much I've grown, Muten Roshi-sama!

You're looking good, Kuririn!

Now the whole gang's here!

G-Goku...

Goku?

Yeah.

Goku! You jerk! I missed you so much!

I never got to thank you, you moron!

Piccolo Daimao killed me! But I was brought back to life, all thanks to you!

I'm glad for you, Kuririn!

Thank you, Goku. I really mean it!

That's Goku?

So it would seem...

He's sure grown a lot...

His power should have increased just as much, too!

So he's grown only that much tougher...

It looks like we have some spectacular fights in store for us!

I'll clash fists with the results of his three years of training!

I've rented us rooms for tonight.

Spend as much time as you want to catch up on old times.

Thank you!

Muten Roshi-sama. You aren't participating this time?

I'll pass this time! I no longer stand a chance against the lot of you!

Man, Goku, you really sprouted!

I thought I had grown taller than you, but I guess not...

Oh yeah?

Son-kun is so cool now!

A woman's heart ever changes.

Say, Goku, was God's training really intense?

Yeah, it was really tough!

I bet you've gotten stronger, too, Kuririn!

Heh, don't be wimping out on me now, Goku!

I can't wait!

Wonder if there'll be any other really strong guys there?

Piccolo Daimao's double will definitely be there!

Goku! What's up?

I wonder if the weather will clear up tomorrow...

By the way, Goku, what sort of training did you do?

Goku!

Goku...

Fast asleep...

Yamcha-sama! Try your best!

Yeah. I've even been training in my sleep for these past three years!

I'm gonna show off everything I've got!

Ten-san. It's finally time.

The time to settle the score with Goku has come at last.

Ten-san...

What sort of training did Goku endure under God?

Regardless, I will win!

Mommy, Mommy! Look at that!

Come back! You're going to get wet!

It's okay!

Son!

Thank you so much!

The qualifying round will take place shortly.

Attention, all participants! Please assemble in front of the temple!

Old-timer!

Did you bring me my usual uniform?

What for? Each of you is doing exceedingly well on your own path!

You needn't wear the uniform of the Turtle Hermit style forever, you know.

Now, go give it your all!

Yes!

What do you think?

I figured Muten Roshi-sama wouldn't bring us Turtle Hermit uniforms,

so I had my own made at a tailor shop!

You and I figured the same thing.

I did, too!

Gimme a break...

Dang, I wanted to be the only one to stand out...

Huh? Goku! Your tail...!

God took it off.

I don't really know what he meant,

but he said that my tail was a real problem...

...ever since he brought the moon back after it disappeared.

You could probably say that.

What is it, Goku?

Is something the matter?

What's with his icy stare?

Do you know him, Goku?

Him...! Impossible! It can't be!

So he did come! Piccolo Daimao!

The qualifying round for the Tenkaichi Budokai is about to begin.

Piccolo Daimao's double, the terrifying Ma Junior,

has appeared before Goku for the first time.

The curtain of disaster has been raised on the Tenkaichi Budokai!

Come on, fantasy,

Oide fantajii

love, and mystery

sukisa misuterii

and wanting to have an adventure

The miraculous riddle will never be solved

Heya! I'm Goku!

The knock-out stage of the Tenkaichi Budokai has finally started.

Alright, this time I'll be the one to win!

Hold on. I'll be the one to take this!

Don't forget about me, and also Tenshinhan-san.

Ah, and also him.
