So sa ima koso adobenchaa!

Battles consisting of techniques and strength that defied human logic ensued...

...at the Tenkaichi Budokai,

where Piccolo Daimao's double, Ma Junior, had appeared.

The 4th match was Yamcha vs. Shen.

Everyone expected Yamcha to win an easy victory.

However...!

You made the mistake of judging me by the way I spoke and acted.

As a result, you didn't notice my true self or any of my subtle movements.

Enough babbling!

"Another Intense Battle! Goku vs. Tenshinhan"

Rogafufu-ken! ["Wolf Fang Fist"]

You weren't paying attention to where you were stepping.

This is a most unexpected development!

Yamcha is completely unable to compete with Shen!

Who on earth could have predicted this?!

I knew.

See?

It's because you make so many unnecessary movements that you leave yourself open!

What the heck's going on?!

Y-Yamcha-san can't even lay a finger on the guy!

Yamcha-sama...

What are you doing out there?! Get it together!

Damn it, Yamcha! Pull yourself together!

You're asking him to do the impossible...

His opponent is just too formidable!

I'm over here!

He's fast!

You really shouldn't jump around unnecessarily.

It makes it especially hard to dodge your opponent's attacks.

T-That man... he couldn't be...!

What the hell?! You're practically dealing with me like I'm a baby...

No, no, you are indeed quite strong!

I can tell this from the way you move.

Unfortunately, I am simply much stronger than you are.

Go train some more. You can still catch up to me yet!

What?!

This is just between you and me, but I'm not really human!

I sure wasn't expecting you to say anything like that...

Don't tell me you're some sort of space alien or something...

Maybe, maybe not.

All I can tell you is that I've... borrowed this person's body for a little while.

Simply put, I've transferred my spirit into this body.

Transferred his spirit?!

Eh? What is it? What did he say?

I can't hear him, he's talking too quietly...

You're mumbling a bunch of random nonsense.

It doesn't make the slightest difference to me, though.

After all, it doesn't change the fact that my chance for victory is in jeopardy.

Dammit, I've got no other choice...

I was hoping to save this technique for when I really needed it.

I never expected I would have to use it in this match...

Thanks for the all the advice.

It's given me a lot of food for thought!

But in the end, I will be the one who wins!

Ki?!

He's concentrating his Ki...

Despite being heavily damaged, Yamcha has declared that he will be the victor!

Exactly what sort of technique is he about to dish out?!

What is he planning to do?

W-What the...?!

You ready?!

Sokidan! ["Controllable Energy Bomb"]

You really can move fast!

Oh, my! I can't believe you had a special technique like that...!

That was a most spectacular display!

Isn't it too early to be praising me just yet?

What...?!

Alright!

I did it! How do you like that?!

Yamcha!

H-He's... out of the ring... Yamcha has finally been beaten...

Yamcha-sama!

Competitor Shen wins!

Damn it...!

Competitor Shen...

Shen...

Shen Long!

Shen!

That's it!

That middle-aged man is actually God!

That truly was a fantastic technique...

...but that last part was no good at all.

I believe, "Overconfidence will be your undoing," is how the phrase goes.

Oh, my, I've gone and injured my host body.

I lost. It was a complete defeat!

It was nothing of the sort!

I never had a chance of winning against someone who could

take a direct hit from my Sokidan!

What's the deal with Yamcha?!

He lost! So how come he's smiling?!

He doesn't seem to be depressed at all...

He used that awesome attack, but still lost.

His training didn't go to waste.

I guess that's what it is...

That's what it is!

Spectacular. A truly magnificent technique.

But what an opponent that was!

How come Yamcha always has to fight strong guys like that?

He never has any luck!

He never does! I feel so bad for Yamcha-sama!

Please! Is there any chance you could tell me who you really are?

Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough!

Right?

With the first round of intense fighting over,

the "Best 4" have been decided!

It is now time for the semi-final matches!

The four fighters participating in the semi-finals are:

Tenshinhan, Son Goku,

Ma Junior, and Shen!

All four are martial artists who possess startling abilities!

The high level of fighting in this tournament has been absolutely unbelievable!

That it most certainly has...

These four fighters may indeed be the world's "Best 4"!

I still can't believe that Kuririn and Yamcha lost,

despite being as strong as they were...!

Oh, my! You're sweating so much!

Stop, Chichi! That tickles!

The first round of the semi-finals pits Tenshinhan against Son Goku!

Goku!

Try your best!

Right!

So this is the match of fate, isn't it?

I can't wait to see how they'll show us the results of their training!

Even I'm getting nervous for some reason...

I can't stand sittin' here doin' nothin'!

Lunch-san! Please restrain yourself!

These two last fought in the finals of the last tournament,

which ended in a victory for Tenshinhan!

What will happen this tournament?!

I remember that match! It was freakin' awesome!

You're going to go all out from the very beginning, I assume?

But of course.

Goku's finally gonna fight for real!

Is his opponent strong?

Yeah. Unbelievably strong.

I suppose I'll watch and see how his skills fare...

Now you can show me the results of your training under God...

Let the match begin!

Both fighters have taken to the sky!

Tenshinhan has caught up with Son Goku!

The two are locked in an intense battle high in the sky!

They both disappeared!

Eerily, only the sounds of their fighting can be heard!

He's fast. He possesses significant speed.

Amazing! They're both fighting at exactly the same level!

Yeah.

Eh? You two... can see them?

The two have finished their lightning-speed battle...

...and are now squaring it off in a battle of brute strength!

Come on, Tenshinhan!

Pulverize that Goku!

You fell for the oldest trick in the book!

What another astonishing match this has turned out to be!

They haven't even had time to catch their breaths!

As things currently stand, their strength and abilities are perfectly matched!

Neither has even the slightest edge over the other!

No, they aren't perfectly matched!

Despite having darted around all over the place, Goku is hardly breathing at all!

U-Unbelievable!

The incredibly intense battle between Goku and Tenshinhan...

Their match has just begun.

Just what kinds of techniques are they going to unleash at each other?!

Come on, fantasy,

Heya! I'm Goku!

You've become really strong, Tenshinhan.

You too, Son.

You're really someone.

However, you still need to improve your speed.

Victory is mine!

I wonder 'bout that.

What?!
