So sa ima koso adobenchaa!

Tenshinhan unleashed his menacing technique: the Shishin-no-ken.

However...

Becoming four people was your biggest mistake!

Oh, crap!

...he was no match for Goku's overwhelming strength!

Tenshinhan, the winner of the last tournament,

has finally been defeated in the semi-finals!

Son Goku, who has shown us such overwhelming strength,

finally moves on to the finals!

Son Goku, huh? You are indeed my biggest enemy.

I would only expect as much from you.

The second match of the semi-finals pits Ma Junior against Shen.

"Who's Stronger?! God vs. Piccolo Daimao"

You were so amazing!

You just sent him flying!

You've become such an incredible martial artist, Goku-san!

I bet you think differently about me now, huh?

Stop hanging on to me!

Close match, wasn't it?

No, it wasn't close at all.

Simply put, his strength is on a completely different level than mine.

I never expected him to improve this much...

What's more, it seems he hasn't even begun to use his true strength yet...

Don't you agree?

He never even fired off a single Kamehameha.

That really hurts my pride...

Exactly what kind of training did he do?

He hasn't even begun to use his true strength yet...?

How much more amazing can Goku possibly get?

There's still one more match in the semi-finals!

This match will determine who the other finalist will be!

I get the feeling that this will be yet another incredible match!

Both are unknown newcomers, and both are outstanding experts!

The match is between Competitors Ma Junior and Shen!

Well then, this is it.

Chichi. Can you step outside for a minute?

Okay.

God.

Son, eh?

I didn't realize it was you!

Especially looking like that!

I have temporarily borrowed a human body.

I assume you came to defeat Piccolo?

Why did you come all this way to do it yourself, God?

Because you cannot defeat Piccolo.

You cannot eliminate him.

That isn't true!

Son Goku.

I spoke to you about it once before.

Piccolo and I share mind and body.

We were once a single person.

And didn't Mr. Popo once tell you as well?

If you kill Piccolo, I too will die.

Mr. Popo and that big mouth of his...

Mr. Popo was only worried about you, God!

Now that you know this fact, I doubt you will be able to defeat Piccolo.

I cannot see you making any such rational decisions, you see.

I'll do something without killing him!

You should know very well

that he is not an opponent that you can just "do something" against.

He is a seed that I originally sowed.

I wish to resolve on my own that which I have brought about.

God...!

Uh... what is the matter?

Shen! Competitor Shen! Please enter the ring!

The match is about to begin!

Don't tell me he's chickened out...

What's the deal?!

It looks like he's talking with Goku about something.

With Goku?!

It looks like my husband is giving Shen some advice for the match!

Advice?!

Those two know each other?

Son Goku.

I left Mr. Popo in charge of nearly all of your training,

so I am unaware of the extent of your strength.

It is my belief that I am the only one who can hold Piccolo in check.

You don't trust me, huh?

Don't tell me you plan to defeat each other!

Even the life of a God is fragile.

And a God cannot commit suicide, either.

There is no need to worry.

You humans have taught me a nice little way to handle him.

Well then, time to fight myself.

Competitor Shen has appeared at long last!

Perhaps he was preparing himself mentally for the match?

What's the matter? Shouldn't you have run away instead?

I'm so sorry!

I had to use the facilities, you see...

Go, Shen!

Good luck, Mister!

Thanks!

Despite being even stronger than Yamcha-sama, he sure acts dumb!

"A wise man keeps some of his talents in reserve," is how the phrase goes.

Just as I do!

Eh? Ya mean ya ain't just an old pervert?

I'll have you know, Lunch-san...

Look!

This time, that older man is taking a stance from the very beginning!

Say, Goku...

What were you guys talking about?

Oh... I'll tell you all about it when the tournament's over.

When it's safe.

This is the last semi-final match! Let the fight begin!

I'll end this quickly.

Unfortunately, you are not the one I'm after...

...Son Goku is!

Upon obliterating Son Goku, who is the one who stands in your way,

you plan to conquer the world yet again, I presume...

...Piccolo?

A futile plan, as usual.

Why, you...! How do you know that...?!

I will not allow you to do so!

What do you suppose they're talking about?

I get the feeling it is something quite serious...

W-W-What the...?!

Who the hell are you?!

W-Who are those two...?

What truly superhuman attack and defense!

It's all happening so quickly that it's difficult to tell what's going on!

No, they aren't just fast!

No.

Their speed and their techniques...

And what's more,

their Ki was completely suppressed while they were fighting!

There are other humans like this besides Son Goku?!

What also bothers me is the fact that his fighting style resembles my own...

You're rushing at me?!

You wanna die?!

What?!

D-Don't you make a mockery of me!

Strong...! Too strong!

H-How can these two exist?

D-Dammit!

There was no way we could have won against that!

I can't say I blame you.

They're at a level far beyond what seems logically possible...

Damn him...!

I had no idea he had grown this powerful!

His power is far too great, despite his having borrowed the body of a weak human!

He must have done a great deal of his own training as well...

Borrowed?!

I've borrowed the body of a human, you say?

So you have read my mind, Piccolo.

Aha! I've finally figured out who you are!

That explains why your fighting style resembles mine...

D-Did my ears suddenly go crazy?

I can't understand a thing those two are saying...

M-M-Me neither...

What business do you have here in the Lower World?! God!

Have you just now figured it out, Piccolo Daimao?

There is no need to explain why I have come to the Lower World.

Don't tell me you've come here to get rid of me...

I do not need to tell you. You said it yourself!

What exactly is transpiring?!

Shen and Ma Junior are having a fierce exchange of words,

but none of what they're saying makes any sense at all!

It's a language the likes of which I've never heard before!

These two are wrapped in complete mystery!

Maybe they're aliens...?

You're going to get rid of me, Piccolo Daimao-sama?!

You've gone senile!

You and I share mind and body!

If you kill me, you will die, too!

I am fully aware of that, of course...

And I doubt you can kill me, correct?

You do not wish to die, do you?

What?! Don't tell me you're planning on dying!

I can't figure out what they're saying at all!

This fight... isn't any ordinary event!

There is no need to worry.

I need not commit suicide– humans have taught me how to put your evil in check...

W-What did you say...?!

What are you planning, God?!

Oh! What's this?

Shen has taken out a small bottle-like object and placed it on the ground...

It doesn't appear to be a weapon.

Might it be some sort of magic charm?

Are you ready?

"Daimao Seal"

No! It can't be...!

Mafuba!

–What?! –The...

The Mafuba?!

W-What's a Mafuba?!

It's the technique Mutaito-sama used long ago to seal away Piccolo Daimao!

Piccolo?!

The blast that came from Shen has now surrounded Ma Junior!

Too bad, God!

Using that technique was your fatal mistake!

Reverse Mafuba!

He bounced it back!

D-Damn it! It wasn't supposed to turn out like this...!

At least let this human body go...!

There you are!

Son! Don't worry if I die or not! Just defeat him!

Eliminate him!

You're gravely mistaken if you think the same tricks will always work on me!

I'm now completely free of weaknesses!

Come on, fantasy,
