So sa ima koso adobenchaa!

Goku and the others, each having undergone his own training,

met again for the first time in three years.

However, Piccolo Daimao's fearsome double has also turned up.

The Tenkaichi Budokai is about to begin... with a bang!

"The Turbulent Tenkaichi Budokai"

Impossible!

So you did come! Piccolo Daimao!

Goku! Don't tell me he's one of Piccolo Daimao's henchmen who survived?!

Yeah. Something like that.

I knew it!

But keep it a secret from everyone else.

This whole place would be in an uproar if they found out!

Goku. Did you know that guy?

That way he was looking at you... he's no ordinary person, that's for sure...

Oh, uh, we were just talking about how strong he looks. Right, Tenshinhan?

Ten-san!

Son Goku!

Who are you?

You idiot!

Really... who are you?

What's with her?

G-Goku!

S-She's mega cute!

Who is she?!

Where did you find her?!

I don't know. I've never seen her before in my life...

Liar! That's not how she acted! You moron!

I'm telling the truth.

Goku! You really did train at God's place, right?!

–I did... –Dammit!

She's such a cute chick, too! You're so lucky!

Dammit!

She really acted like they knew each other...

Don't you agree, Tenshinhan?

Sorry to keep you waiting, fighters!

The qualifying matches will begin shortly! Please gather in the center!

Thank you for coming all the way to this Tenkaichi Budokai,

which is held once every three years.

There are 72 participants this time,

which is quite a decline compared to previous tournaments.

This may be due to the fact that the previous tournament was tremendously high-level.

It still bothers me...

However, that also means that everyone here...

Why exactly has one of Piccolo Daimao's henchmen come to the tournament now?!

...is all the more confident of his or her own skills.

It is crowded beyond belief!

And it'll be a long time until the qualifying matches are over.

It's a real problem, isn't it?

Not for you, it isn't!

Don't push! It's dangerous!

I said don't push!

What are you doing?!

"Slap!"

What a hopeless old geezer...

And I didn't even mean to, either...

The qualifying matches will be underway momentarily.

I hope Goku-san and the others aren't eliminated in the qualifiers...

But we can't tell what's going on at all...

I'll go check it out!

Hey, Pu'er! Only authorized personnel are allowed in!

Not if you transform!

I'm comin' too! Transformation!

"Lottery"

You know what to do, Chiaotzu!

Spread our friends' numbers out!

Right!

Put him in a different block! I want to check him out!

Got it!

I'm #2! I'm the first fight in Block 1!

I'm in the first half of Block 2.

What about you, Kuririn?

The last half of Block 1.

I'm in the last half of Block 2.

You're in the last half of Block 3, Chiaotzu?

Everyone's conveniently spread out!

That means we can get through without having to fight each other!

That's great!

Talk about a lucky break!

What block do you think he's in?

What about Cutey?

How'd it go, guys?

Yamcha-sama!

It looks like we'll all be able to make it to the actual tournament!

Really? That's great!

Good luck, Goku!

Thanks!

We will now begin the qualifying matches to determine who will participate...

...in the final rounds of the Tenkaichi Budokai!

Okay, this is the first match in Block 1. You all know the rules.

You lose if you fall outside of the ring, lose consciousness,

or give up voluntarily.

But please be aware that you will be disqualified

in the event that you kill your opponent.

Now then, Competitors #1 and 2, please enter the ring!

–Well, I'm up! –Goku! Show us what God taught you!

Well, now we get to see just how much Goku has improved.

You're anxious, too, eh?

Hey, check it out! Isn't that...?

It's Chapa-o!

Would you look at that? It's Chapa-o again.

I never dreamed I would face you in the first round...

Well, no matter.

You are the perfect opponent to fight...

...in order for me to clear myself of my disgrace from last time!

This time, I will place my title as former champion

of the Tenkaichi Budokai on the line...

...and defeat you!

Hey, didn't he come in 2nd place a while back?

Yeah, he's got himself a Turtle Hermit uniform!

Man, he's really gotten bigger...

Chapa-o's really unlucky to face him two tournaments in a row!

The unlucky one is you, Son Goku!

Please begin!

I'll show you just how much training I've done!

You call that a stance?! Stop fooling around!

You'll find yourself in a world of pain for making a mockery of martial arts!

Does Goku plan on doing anything?

What's going on?

I almost can't feel his energy at all!

It's completely gone...

And Chapa-o cannot win if he doesn't realize it!

Goku's amazing...

Where is he?!

Where did he go?!

Aha! He's above me!

Is he... unconscious?

#2 wins!

Incredible!

He beat Chapa-o with just one hit!

Totally awesome!

Pu'er! Let's go and tell the others about it!

That Goku... he isn't even really trying yet!

–Nope. –I don't know how to explain it,

but I get the feeling he's like really relaxed.

Certainly, that was a far cry from his full strength.

But with the way he moves, defeating me is an absolute impossibility.

I'll tear him apart while everyone looks on!

You can bet on it!

Oh? Goku's become that skilled?

He's grown super, super strong!

It seems his training in the Upper World was not merely for show.

Yamcha and the others trained, too–

it looks like it's going to be an amazing fight!

I can't wait!

Chiaotzu!

Chiaotzu!

Is he okay?!

Chiaotzu! Say something!

Chiaotzu...

I left him alive, but barely.

After all, killing him would disqualify me.

What?!

It's been quite a while, hasn't it... Tenshinhan?

I-It can't be!

And Son Goku, was it?

Who are you?!

Tao Pai-Pai!

So you've figured it out, huh?

T-Tao Pai-Pai! Didn't you die?!

Don't be a fool! As if I would die so easily!

Although I must admit I did run into a bit of bad luck!

It took a great deal of time for me to revive...

Um, could you step out of the ring? We need to move on to the next match...

You will refrain from butting in!

You don't want to die an early death, now do you?

Goku. Who is he?

Tao Pai-Pai is an assassin.

An assassin?!

And it seems he's also the Crane Hermit's younger brother!

So that might make him Tenshinhan and Chiaotzu's former superior!

W-What?!

I could've sworn I beat him...!

I could've sworn he blew up!

Oh, but I did.

Thanks to you,

I had to use up all of my earnings as an assassin to come back as a cyborg!

A cyborg?!

Son Goku, or whatever you call yourself...

You had better not be eliminated before you fight me!

I have no interest in winning the title of champion, of course.

My only goal is to take your life.

You're next after him, Tenshinhan.

It looks like you've joined the Turtle Hermit school.

Bloody traitor!

I haven't necessarily joined the Turtle Hermit school!

I only felt that your teachings were misguided!

Be prepared to die when next we meet.

I have no problem with it. I'll fight you.

I'll fight for Chiaotzu, too!

As pretentious as ever, I see!

I'm looking forward to our fight!

Tao Pai-Pai, who was feared by all as the world's finest assassin,

has come back to life!

But now, as a cyborg, he possesses even greater strength,

and he has come to settle the score with Goku and the others!

Come on, fantasy,

Heya! I'm Goku!

This Tenkaichi Budokai is so exciting!

Fighters from all over the world have gathered, and only eight will be left for the knock-out round.

You've all become stronger!

Say...

who is my opponent in the tournament called Ma Junior?

Don't let your guard down, Kuririn!
