May I have everyone's attention?

Our first order of business is to select the fighters

for each match.

To aid in this process, each of you will draw lots

from the boxes located on either side

I'm 62. Looks like they put me in...

...the latter half of block two.

I'm in the second half of block one.

Please don't put me against Goku...

Yeah! I got lucky!

I'm in block one, but in the first half.

What about you, mister?

I drew number 178,

which, if I'm not mistaken, puts me in block 4.

What luck! We won't fight each other!

Ahem. Good.

We will now begin with the Elimination Round,

which will decide the 8 fighters

who will advance to the Championship.

Each match will be one-on-one

and confined to the boundaries of the ring.

There is no time limit,

and each match will continue until one opponent

is either defeated, leaves the ring, or gives up.

No weapons are allowed.

In the event that an official ruling is needed

to clarify a winner,

all decisions by the tournament judges are final.

The tournament does not take responsibility

for loss of property or life.

As a reminder to those outside the ring,

flash photography is strictly prohibited. Thank you.

Well, this is it! Good luck, Krillin!

Thanks!

That's the same kid, all right.

Are you sure? That's him?!

Oh, yeah.

Positive.

Die!

I didn't think we'd meet again.

Not here.

This is going to be quite interesting.

Block

Attention...

The first match in the elimination round

will be held in block number one.

At this time, fighters number one and two

may enter the ring.

Here we go! Save my spot. I'll be right back.

Get him, Yamcha!

The first match should be starting about now.

I just hope they get through it in one piece.

Don't worry, Bulma.

Yamcha and the others will be just fine.

They know what they're doing. Honest.

I sure hope you're right.

Say bye-bye.

Nice, but wood can't fight back.

If it could, it would have

a much better chance of winning this match

than you do.

Gentlemen, please.

It's time to begin. Let's focus on the match.

It's a shame some people confuse technique with bravado.

This time, the turtle will defeat the hawk.

So long!

Yah!

Fighter one wins by a knockout!

You did it! You were incredible out there!

It was nothing.

What do you think? Tien?

Hey, Krillin's about to start his match.

Let's go watch!

Block

The second match is about to begin.

Fighter number 63, please step into the ring.

Huh?

What's that? An earthquake?!

He's huge!

And who are you supposed to be?

Uh, I'm your opponent.

Yeah? That's funny, you look more like toe jam to me...

You're lucky I can see the shine off your bald head.

Otherwise, you'd be dust right now.

I remember who that giant is!

Yamcha, you know that guy?!

What is his name?

He's called Anton the Great.

He used to be the World Professional Wrestling Champion.

Is he strong?

Mmm-hmm. That's an understatement.

Anton is so tough no one would fight him.

He left the professional circuit

and became an underground fighter.

Fighters, now that both of you are in the ring,

take your positions and begin.

I'm ready to begin now.

Care to make the first move?

The first move I make will be your last, kid.

I doubt that.

When you squish, don't forget to scream.

Come on, Krillin! Keep moving!

Don't let him get a hold of you!

Come to papa!

He's got Krillin!

Struggle all you want.

It won't make any difference.

No! Krillin doesn't stand a chance!

That beast can crush boulders with his bare hands.

Krillin!

How's my acting?

Before I became a great fighter,

I considered pursuing a career in acting.

You tricked me!

Sir, what's the judgment?

Number 63 has left the ring, which means 62 is the winner.

I'm the man.

You did it! That was amazing!

You're definitely stronger than you were three years ago.

Outstanding move.

Well thanks, guys, but relax.

This is just the beginning.

That was nothing. Just wait.

Your expectations must be very low

if you consider that an accomplishment.

Excuse me?

Wait. You are...

They're pupils of Hermit Crane, which explains their rudeness.

He's a rival of Master Roshi's.

I remember them now.

Both of you are bad.

You tried to hurt InoShikaCho and me!

You mean you've met those two creeps before?

Amazing how events can change according to one's perspective.

Actually, I did him a favor by not finishing what he started.

What's that supposed to mean?

I'm sorry, I forgot my audience.

I'll use less syllables: I can't be defeated.

You're lucky we don't have a match in the preliminaries.

Whatever.

What's with your friend?

He's staring at me.

Midget.

You watch your mouth!

I wouldn't be talking about anyone's height, Tiny!

Midget.

Stop saying that!

Chiaotzu, stop.

You know it it's not polite to make fun of your inferiors,

especially when they are as grossly inadequate

as these three.

None of them have the slightest chance

of surviving the preliminaries, let alone the tournament.

Get lost or get hit. It's your choice.

Ha. Judging by your last fight, I'm in no hurry.

You had the chance to deal your opponent a critical blow

and you passed it up.

Big mistake.

Whenever I fight,

my objective is to defeat my opponent, not murder him.

However, if you and I should have a match in this tournament,

I'll be sure to reconsider my policy.

Really? Why wait? Fight now.

Oh, anytime you're ready.

I'd welcome the chance to shut you up.

Yamcha, don't do this.

–Not now! –It's okay, Goku.

This guy obviously has a problem,

and I'm going to solve it for him.

Settle down, boys.

Whatever problem you two are having,

you should ask yourselves if this fight is worth it.

Because both of you will be kicked out of the tournament.

Mind your business, old man.

That old man is Jackie Chun.

He won the last tournament.

And you fought at that tournament, no doubt.

This just keeps getting better...

If a decrepit old man proved too great a challenge for you,

then you have no business fighting me.

All right! Come on!

Thanks, but I don't want to waste my time...

Enough, let's go.

What a jerk!

That creep doesn't know who he's messing with.

My parents were six feet tall!

That Hermit Crane is such a nuisance!

And I thought Roshi was bad!

So where did that imbecile Turtle hermit run off to?

In the ocean.

Why don't you go jump in and find him?

Knowing him, he probably ran back home

too embarrassed to watch his ill-advised pupils

get crushed in the tournament.

Oh, be quiet!

It's common knowledge.

Roshi's boys can be beat with one pinky.

You're misinformed.

Now, please, leave me alone. Go!

I can tell by your posture that you're upset.

It's tough to back a loser.

Cheer up.

You don't have to stay with Roshi's team...

I could use someone like you.

I can't believe I'm listening to you.

You're wearing a crane!

What? What?

I can't believe you're mocking me.

This happens to show the status of my power!

Hey, lady! Are you awake or what?

Ma'am? Hello?

Can't a girl get a moment's rest?

Give Master Roshi this message:

He can best help his pupils by preparing for their funerals.

Competition Hall

Block

Attention all competitors in Block Three.

Will fighters number 99 and 100 please come forward

at this time.

Good... my turn.

Fight well, Tien.

Of course.

Have you ever met anyone more pompous?!

That jerk's all talk.

I bet he doesn't make it through his first match.

No. That guy's a great fighter.

Yeah, right.

So you've already had a run-in with this loser before.

Is he as strong as he thinks he is?

Yes. He's tough.

What a show-off!

Invincible!

That's pathetic.

I'm surprised he can even stand up.

I heard that!

Now say it again!

What's wrong? You must be deaf.

Try me.

Sure thing, tubby! It's your funeral!

That sumo wrestler is strong.

Yes.

His extreme girth is actually an asset...

Most attacks on him are ineffective.

Fighters, hold your positions.

Ready, begin!

Invincible! Invincible!

Fighter 100 is down.

Number 99 wins the match by a knock-out!

What happened? It was so fast I couldn't see.

I-I've never seen anything like it.

That was four punches.

Correction, four punches and three kicks.

His moves are so quick!

Sure. He may be fast, but that doesn't mean

he's necessarily strong.

These amateurs are about to learn their place.

The next match in Block One is at hand.

Numbers 27 and 28 please step forward.

All right! I'm up!

1... 2... 3... 4...

Finally we get to see Goku fight!

He should do well. He almost won last time.

Come on, boy.

Let's see how much you've learned in the last three years.

Is that guy Goku's opponent?!

He doesn't look very strong to me.

I don't envy him.

Goku's not someone you want to fight in your first match.

The fighters get younger every year.

Soon I'll be fighting infants.

I know I've seen that man somewhere before.

Ooh! I don't believe it!

That's King Chapa, isn't it?!

You're right.

It is. King Chapa.

That's King Chapa?

The King Chapa?! Not good.

Goku doesn't know what he's getting himself into.

What's the big deal?

It's been said that he is

one of the strongest men alive.

The last time he attended the

World Martial Arts Tournament, he became the champion without

being touched by a single opponent.

Goku's at a severe disadvantage.

If Chapa is that good,

it's going to take a miracle for Goku to stay alive out there,

let alone win the match!

Fighters, ready and begin!

Don't be afraid, little one.

I'll stop before I kill you.

Thank you.

The tournament has just begun

and already Goku is up against impossible odds.

Can he defeat King Chapa?
