The high seas, wondrous and enchanting–

Their blue waters filled with untold treasures

and numerous forms of life, both familiar and mysterious.

Today, the waters are calm and peaceful... until...

Something's headed right for us!

It's closing in! Fast!

Hard to starboard. Move!

Aye, Captain! Hard to starboard.

Hey, kid! Are you okay?

What are you doing in the water?!

Hi!

Will you please point me in the direction of Papaya Island?

I seem to have gotten lost.

Thank you!

Hey... Was that a mermaid?

"Rivals and Arrivals"

Attention, passengers.

We have encountered some mild turbulence.

For those drinking coffee or applying makeup,

we do apologize.

In just a few moments, we will be landing on Papaya Island,

home of the World Martial Arts Tournament.

At this time, we ask that you remain in your seats

and make sure your lap belts are securely fastened.

We're finally here. This is exciting.

It sure is,

especially since you're going to win the tournament.

Yamcha could be the champion of the tournament

if I let him win.

Yeah, sure.

And just to keep things fair, when we do fight,

I'll tie my hands and keep my eyes closed.

Um, not to put a damper on this,

but aren't you boys forgetting something?

Or should I say someone, namely Goku?

Goku, Shmoeku. My money's on Jackie Chun!

He did win last time, after all...

I hate Chun! He's the one who beat Goku! Let's kill him!

It's okay, Launch. Settle down.

Help...

Sir? Are you all right? Is something the matter?

I want off this plane right now!

I see.

Land or get me a parachute.

Either way, I'm leaving!

Sir...

I'm sorry, but it's impossible

for anyone to leave the plane before it lands.

Please sit back and try to relax.

Can I get you a pillow or some peanuts?

I don't want peanuts. I want this bird on the ground!

Now go tell the captain!

Yes, sir.

I'll take some peanuts.

Master, please get control of yourself.

This is embarrassing.

From now on, I'm travelling alone.

Time to eat. I'm starving!

Fruit!

Perfect!

Oh, look at the tigers!

They must be hungry, too...

Here!

Eat!

Go on, there's plenty more where those came from!

Uh oh!

What's wrong, kitties?

These are tasty!

What's wrong?

Great!

Roshi couldn't wait to leave the plane,

but now we can't get him out of the airport!

If he doesn't hurry,

we'll miss our check-in for the Tournament.

Hey! Wait up!

You won't believe what I found

crawling in the airport's commissary.

I just have one question. Why me?

Hey, front door service!

That's a matter of perspective.

Need a lift?

There.

Thank you, Yamcha.

I hope I don't run into anyone I know.

All in all, that was a nice flight.

The competition hall, please, and make it snappy.

Yes, sir.

Finally! It feels great to be back.

It's like I never left.

Yeah.

Participant Registration

Are you boys going to sign up?

Oh, yes, sir!

Thank you, Yamcha...

...and... Krillin.

I'm just curious.

Has a boy named Goku registered yet?

Goku...

Oh yes, that young boy who won the vice-championship last time.

No. According to my records, he hasn't.

That's strange.

Where could he be? What's holding him up?

He'd better hurry.

If he's not careful, he'll miss the entries.

It's not like him to be late...

I sure hope he didn't forget what day it is.

Entry time is just about up.

Don't worry. He'll be here.

He was really looking forward to the competition.

He'll wait to show up at the last minute, just watch.

I don't see what all this fuss is about.

Fighting with rules. How boring.

If anyone else but you had said that,

I would have thought they were bragging.

Sweet sauerkraut! I almost forgot to sign up!

Waugh!

Say, there's a name I'd like to enter in the tournament.

Jackie Chun.

Jackie Chun? You don't mean the Jackie Chun

who won the championship at the last competition?

Mmm-hmm!

I don't believe it! You're him?

Shh!

See?

I-I see.

Let's keep this little secret just between you and me.

Sure!

Jackie Chun is on the list.

Oh, there's only five minutes left.

He's not going to make it.

Master...

Goku is going to make it in time, isn't he?

Just keep your eye on that road. He'll be here.

Uh, hey, you were chatting with that clerk

like you were best friends.

That's none of your business!

Hello.

Crane

Nice to see you've come out of your shell, Master Roshi.

Hermit Crane, what a surprise.

After all these years, you're still alive.

The lines on your face are just as deep, old friend.

That was rude.

Relax. I didn't come here to start trouble.

In fact, I heard a silly little whisper

that your pupils did quite well during the last tournament.

I guess the saying is true, anything can happen.

What's it to you, huh?!

You're out of your league, Roshi, admit it.

You were privileged by my absence last time,

but we both know fighting against my team

is an exercise in futility.

Not even Jackie Chun could handle my boys!

Do yourself a favor and go home.

I sympathize with your crew. I really, really do.

Inadequacy is always such a tough pill to swallow,

but it sure beats public humiliation.

Thanks for the concern.

It's nice to see some things haven't changed.

Like you're still full of hot air.

You'd better stay out of my way!

We're not turning tail for you or anyone!

You've been warned.

Now suffer the consequences. Let's go!

I've wasted enough time on these fools!

Master Roshi, who was that weirdo?

His name's Master Shen, but I used to call him friend.

Time's almost up! We have one minute left.

He's late!

Relax.

Puar, I want you to transform into Goku

and register as him.

Right!

Wait! Look, here he is!

Hello, everybody! Wait up! I'm coming!

Hey, Goku!

Long time no see!

You got here just in time! Cool!

I know. What have you guys been doing?

Waiting.

That was a good one!

Goku is here. Is he in time to register?

Yes, of course.

Thank you.

What have you gotten yourself into now?

You look filthy!

It's good to see you again, Bulma.

Are my eyes deceiving me,

or have you gotten taller since the last time I saw you?

Oh, yeah!

So he's grown a few inches. Big deal.

Most of it's hair anyway!

Yo, Goku!

You look awfully winded for someone who rides a cloud.

Where is the Nimbus and why were you late?

Master, I thought you said not to bring the Nimbus.

You said I should rely on my own strength.

Right... I did say that.

I have one question.

Did you swim here?

Yeah, part of the way. From a place called Yahhoi.

From Yahhoi?!

That's impossible.

It's on the other side of the Earth!

The scary thing here is that I believe you.

What? Uh... Huh?

The important thing is you're here and registered.

Now what do ya say we go grab a bite to eat?!

Food!

It's customary to feast before a big fight,

and since they don't come any bigger

than the World Martial Arts Tournament,

we should dine on the best meal this town has to offer!

Yeah!

Good idea!

I'm going to eat until I bust!

How about I just make us all some sandwiches?

Sake

–I couldn't eat another bite. –What'd you think of dessert?

Weren't they delicious?

What? What do you mean you can't pay the bill?

Shh!

Not so loud.

Listen, I know what you're thinking,

but I can pay my bill.

It's just going to take a couple of days.

By then I should have 500,000 zeni.

I'm telling you the truth!

I believe you, sir!

Krillin, was training with Master Roshi

as challenging as it was last time?

Definitely.

If you remember the program we did together,

multiply that by a hundred.

When I wasn't farming and delivering milk,

I was lugging around a hundred pound stones!

A hundred pound stones? That does sound challenging!

You don't look well. What's the matter?

Was there a problem with the manager?

How many times do I have to tell you

to be quiet and mind your own business?

I don't know what came over me.

Must have been something in the soup.

Hey, I've got a good idea.

Why don't we all go back to the hotel

and play a nice game of cards?

–Oh no! –Bulma got a Joker!

Oolong, pick a card.

What is this?

It's the Joker.

All right, choose a card.

Second from the left.

Good choice.

Oooh...

I'm finished!

I'm out!

Me too!

Here you go.

Pick one!

Which one should I choose?

Just pick one up!

I think I'll take this one...

I'm finished!

That means you lose.

Good night.

Good night!

Hello!

Oh, silly me. This isn't my room.

Since I'm here, I might as well give you

these extra blankets in case you get cold.

They're cranky.

Yamcha!

Who could sleep with all that racket?

At least we can get a jump-start on the competition.

Yep.

Huh?

Hey, aren't those the guys who held

the top 3 spots in the last competition?

That's them, all right. Just my bad luck.

I don't remember our competitors

being this big last time.

It feels great to be back in red.

I've missed this outfit.

Just between us,

how much stronger do you think Goku's gotten

in these last three years?

Uh...

I'd say he's somewhere between tough and invincible.

Hey guys! Just wanted to wish you good luck

before the fighting starts.

Fight well!

Listen, boys,

go in there and show them how it's done.

I'm counting on you!

Right!

Competition Hall

The Preliminary Matches are about to begin.

All competitors please enter the hall at this time.

Wait! Where is Master Roshi?

Huh? He was right here a second ago.

Knowing him, I'm sure he's trying

to find a way to get into the hall.

Oh my gosh! It's Jackie Chun!

Where's my camera?!

Don't worry.

They're selling autographed postcards in the lobby.

Hello?

Goku. It's good to see you again.

How are you?

Great! Are you here to fight?

Unless they tell me otherwise.

I sure hope so, sir.

I've been training for a rematch.

I'll bet you have!

You've got a fire in that belly, kid.

Don't ever lose that.

As Master Roshi,

I could never get an accurate measure of your true strength,

but as Jackie Chun,

I know you'll give me everything you've got.

Good evening and welcome

to the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament!

It is my privilege and honor to preside over this special event,

which has become so popular,

it will now be held once every three years!

This one promises to be the biggest yet,

with a record-high attendance of one hundred eighty-two fighters.

All of you are talented martial artists in your own right.

However, only one will be crowned the World's Champion!

Goku is about to face off

against a horde of the fiercest warriors he's ever encountered,

next time on 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!

The Tenkaichi Budokai is finally starting!

It looks like there's a lot of strong guys there!

I'll show them plenty of what I've learned through my training!

We all have get to the final rounds, okay?

Leave it to me!

This will be fun!
