Sometimes you can feel as though

the weight of the world is on your shoulders...

In Goku's case, it's true.

The pain he endures is minimal compared

to the satisfaction he gets from achieving yet another goal

of his self-imposed life training;

a journey recommended by Master Roshi in which his pupil

foregoes the more traditional training routine

in favor of random, real-world experiences:

All leading him to the next World Martial Arts Tournament.

A Crucial, Honorable Match !

Goku VS Ten Long

A Crucial, Honorable Match !

Goku VS Ten Long

"Goku vs. Sky Dragon"

Looks like my tail grew back just in time,

and stronger, too! It won't break off again!

I'm tired... and hungry.

Ah! There goes another one...

Huh...?

Here.

Oh, that was so kind. Thank you.

Sure. Is this place your home?

Yes.

Great.

Can you tell me if someone really strong lives around here?

Someone strong?

Yes. I want to fight someone who can challenge my skills.

There is one person I can think of right away.

His name is Chin. He lives in the city.

Master Chin? Great!

One last thing, where is the city?

Follow this path along the river.

It will lead you right to it.

I see. Thank you for all your help.

Oohh... So this is the city.

Boy, there sure are a lot of people around.

A fight! A fight!

This transgression is inexcusable.

What's inexcusable is your charge

that my son stole your wallet, Dragon.

It's laughable!

Yeah, laughable!

Liar.

I know your gymnasium is hurting for business, Chin,

but if you needed a handout, you should have just asked.

Come on, kid, you're going to the police.

Back!

Keep pushing!

Shokin, my son, get to safety.

Yes, father.

Now...

Aahh...

Huh?

He's strong!

So... Care to join your pupils, Dragon?

Father!

Aw, what's the matter?

Is the mighty Chin feeling a bit under the weather?

Well, the Doctor is in, and the prescription is pain!

Ah! That's my wallet! Give it back!

Did you steal it from me?!

No, sir. It was just lying on the ground.

Uh-huh. I told you I didn't steal your wallet!

This proves nothing, boy!

You probably threw it down out of fear once you stole it!

Excuse me...

Is it possible that you dropped your own wallet by mistake?

My grandfather always told me it wasn't nice to doubt people.

Well, I'm not a nice guy!

Especially to thieving little brats who steal my wallet!

Uh. That's not a nice thing for you to say.

I said be quiet!

You!

Stop!

Ah! Brother...

Hello.

I apologize, sir, for my brother's rude behavior.

Please forgive him.

Fine.

May I extend the same sentiment to you?

Uh, yeah, sure. He didn't do anything to me.

We're leaving.

Fool! Sick, old Chin will fall tomorrow at the match,

in front of the king, by my hand and no one else's!

Do you understand?!

Yes, sorry, Brother.

That was a brave thing you did, standing up to Dragon.

Thanks... I'll bet he's a tough opponent to defeat.

Says you. My father could have beaten him easily.

Huh...

Mister Chin, it's a pleasure to meet you.

Actually, you're the reason I came to this village.

Um... Who are you and what do you want?

My name is Goku...

An old lady told me you were the strongest around.

I was hoping we could fight.

A runt like you could never defeat my father...

He's not worth your time, Dad. You don't have to fight him.

Hmm... Alright, boy. I'll fight one match.

Yes! Thank you!

But Father!

Chin Family Star-Extremities Martial Arts

Don't, Father. You can't. You're not healthy.

Mind your tongue.

I don't need the counsel of a child.

Ugh!

Are you ready?

Uh-huh!

Hm. This child may possess more skill

than I thought.

Ah! Father!

Father, are you all right?!

You overdid it. You need to rest, Father!

Why is he coughing like that?

Ngh! Why do you think?! Because of you!

The old lady was right. You are strong.

And a very good fighter.

You're not so bad yourself.

What is the name of that trick you used?

The Phantom Star Technique. My dad created it.

I never heard of that before.

Like its namesake, the technique uses an energy

to project an image that doesn't exist.

I never knew that.

Shokin... Patience.

You are not ready to wield the Phantom Star.

Perhaps one day, but not now.

Goku has the discipline and training to use it correctly.

I'm not sure what you said,

but it sounds a lot like my Afterimage–

Technique...

Not many can use it.

That you can shows that you have extraordinary skill.

Goku, I'm sorry.

The truth is I have a very bad condition...

I've tried to maintain my health for the King's Match but...

For a king?

Yes, sort of.

Each year, a fight is held in the presence of our king...

Whoever wins the match

will be bestowed the title of Master of Martial Arts.

I see. Who is your opponent? Is he strong?

Sky Dragon. You met him in town today.

He runs the Panther-Fang school

along with his oversized brother, Rising Dragon.

Sky is a gifted fighter and extremely powerful,

but he doesn't like competition.

Mine is the only other martial arts school in town.

When it became popular, Sky nearly ran me out of business

by persuading, threatening most of my students

to join him instead.

If I defeat Sky and gain the title of Master of Martial Arts,

there's a good chance I can revive my Chin-Star School.

Ah! Father!

You need medicine!

Where do you find medicine?

I'll go get some if you think it will help.

There's a place in the city–

No!

Uhh...

Rising Dragon is a vengeful man.

If he sees you, there's no telling what he'll do!

I'll be okay. He's just one man.

All the same, I'd rather avoid any confrontation

with the Panther-Fang School...

The King doesn't like opponents fighting before the match.

I understand...

If I run into anyone from the school,

I won't start a fight.

Drinks! Bring me more drinks!

Calm down, brother. Drink your soup...

Your manners leave much to be desired. More tea.

Yes, right away.

Hey! Kid, come here!

Watch out! You almost hit me!

Next time I won't miss. Let's finish what you started.

No, I can't fight you.

Suit yourself, thief.

Sky, remember that punching bag

you were going to get me for my birthday?

Don't bother. I just found one. Let me pound him, Brother.

Happy birthday.

Sorry, I don't have time for this.

I'm in a hurry.

Cut it out!

Huh?!

No one makes a fool of me!

Bye-bye!

Somehow I don't think that's what my brother had in mind.

Try me.

You're fast!

Where's that carefree laughter now?

Come on, show me some effort this time.

How pathetic. You're obviously one of Chin's students.

–Brother, let's go. –That wans't fun.

But at least I kept my promise.

I got Chin's medicine and I didn't start that fight.

He's late. I knew we couldn't trust him.

Hi. I'm back.

'Bout time. I was beginning to worry. What happened?

I got the medicine. I hope it's enough.

Who's next? What's the matter?

Am I still too great a challenge for you weaklings?

Alright, I won't use my legs either.

Let's go, anybody!

There is no doubt...

Tomorrow, I will destroy Chin in front of everyone.

Sky Dragon isn't so tough.

Everyone thinks I'm just a kid,

but I know how to take him down.

One day I will.

What are you saying, father?

Sometimes knowing when not to fight

is just as important. I know it is difficult for you, Son,

but please try to understand.

I cannot fight in this condition.

I must therefore forfeit the match.

But the King will declare Sky Dragon the Master.

I am well aware.

If there was anything I could do to change that, I would.

You can... allow me to fight in your place.

No!

Why don't you have faith in me, father?

I'm ready. I know I can beat him.

My word is final... No!

Please, father, I know–

Shokin! I said no!

I didn't mean to upset you!

How about me?

I'll fight against Sky Dragon.

But Goku–

This has nothing to do with you, so just stay out of it, okay?!

Look, I'm not trying to interfere,

but I have experience fighting. That's why I'm here.

Sky Dragon is a deadly adversary.

I appreciate your concern, but I wouldn't volunteer

if I didn't think I could win.

Besides, I'm in training to compete

against the world's toughest fighters...

I'll win.

Very well.

Thank you.

He's no bigger than me.

Sky is a devious fighter who will do anything to win.

He has never lost a match.

I understand.

How can you trust a stranger over your own son?!

If anyone's going to replace you, it should be me!

I will not debate with you, Shokin...

Your arrogance blinds you to Goku's superior strength.

Where do you think you're going?

To fix breakfast. I think I have enough skill to do that.

Hey, how's it going? Breakfast ready? I'm starving!

Just a minute. I'm almost done.

Ahhh... It smells delicious!

Ahh... Tastes great!

One way or another,

I'm going to be in that match.

Wow! The King sure has a big house.

I wonder how many rooms it has?

This is great!

–Look at that! –So, Goku, how are you feeling?

Everything okay?

Sure. I'm fine. Why do you ask?

It's nothing.

Oh no... The match is about to start!

Is there something troubling you, Shokin?

You don't seem like yourself.

No, sir.

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the King's Match.

This year the Panther-Fang School vs. the Chin-Star School.

Presiding over the ceremonies, King Wan-Tan and Queen Harumaki.

Please address your attention to the center stage.

Start the match!

And now, the competitor from both schools

will enter the arena at this time!

Oh no!

From the Panther-Fang School, Sky Dragon!

Sky Dragon! You're the champ!

Representing the Chin-Star School, Goku!

What?! Who?

Hello, Mr. Dragon. Good luck.

Nonsense!

I signed up to fight Chin, not some upstart brat!

According to rule sixty-three, sub-paragraph thirty-seven A,

each team is allowed one representative

of their choosing.

Either fight this boy or forfeit the match.

Very well... But I do so under protest.

Let Chin hide behind the rulebook!

The dispute is settled.

The match will continue until one contestant either gives up

or loses consciousness...

Begin!

Yaah!

I didn't think Goku could move that fast.

He does have some skill.

Haah...

Before you get too proud, taste the Panther-Cyclone Leg!

Haah...

You can't hide forever!

Now you're going–

Time-out!

What?!

Something's wrong with my stomach.

I don't feel good.

What have I done?!

Whatever stunt you're

trying to pull, it's not going to work!

Either resume the fight or forfeit!

I-I'm not kidding!

You're holding up the match! Let's go!

This might hurt.

Yep, that hurt.

I thought he'd quit when he got sick.

I never wanted this to happen.

End game, boy.

Goku, get up! You can beat him!

Oops! Uhh...

This is...! No, Shokin! Tell me you didn't.

Are you going to try your little After-Image trick again?!

You've already proven that doesn't work on you.

–No, I've got something –Blah, blah, blah!

–better in mind. –I'm going up and

you're going down!

Phantom-Star!

Haah!

Panther-Cyclone!

Ha-ah-ah!

Yeah! Woo-hoo! Yeah, Goku!

And the winner is Goku!

Hey, move it!

You're blocking our view!

Goku, Goku, Goku, Goku!

My stomach is about to explode.

I shouldn't have eaten that last rice cake!

I bestow the title Master of Martial Arts to Chin.

Congratulations.

You have robbed me of my vengeance, Goku,

and for that I thank you.

In losing, I have learned there is much I must atone for.

Perhaps as Master Chin's pupil, I can start over.

Uh-hum.

Thank you.

Sure. I was glad for the training.

The Phantom-Star technique will help me a lot.

Goku...

Hm?

I, well, to tell the truth, the soup I served you was–

I know what you're going to say and I couldn't agree more.

That soup you made was incredible!

Yeah, right.

Well, I better run.

Wait!

I thought you might need something

for the long trip ahead so I made this for you.

Oh...

Thank you for everything. See ya later!

'Bye... Goodbye, Goku!

Take care!

Hey!

Aah...!

Ooh! Delicious!

Goku sets out in search

of his next training exercise. Who or what will he find?

Don't miss the next incredible episode of Dragon Ball!

Be as brave as you can be, a childlike love of fantasy,

The world is a mystery for you and me.

A miracle, an adventure too, a single wish waits for you,

The beating of your heart will see you through.

When you think you can't go on, give it another try,

The power of your youth is strong, and as big as the sky.

Search all over the valley, the mountains and you'll see...believing in yourself sets you free!

Come on, I'll give you romance!

Come on, I'll give you paradise!

Liberate the “you” that you keep inside.

Come on, I'll give you romance!

Come on, I'll give you paradise!

Make your dreams come true; you'll see fantasy...magic can happen to you!

Heya! I'm Goku!

Listen to this, next up I'm in this country where monsters

appear from everywhere each night!

But the princess there has been taken away

by the henchmen of a certain Shura,

who apparently is dreaming of marrying her.

I wonder what this Shura guy looks like?
