Last time, on Dragon Ball...

So long!

The 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament

kicked into high gear as our heroes' demonstrated

impressive skills and strength during the Elimination Round.

Yamcha made quick work of his opponent,

while Krillin got from underfoot of his adversary

by staying one step ahead of the gigantic warrior.

Though the fight was intense,

Krillin prevailed, getting the upper hand

and turning the behemoth on his ear... literally.

Unfortunately, the toughest fighters were still to come.

Goku had his hands full

as he entered a match against the formidable King Chapa,

a former champion of the tournament whose infamy

still strikes fear in the hearts of all who know him.

Goku doesn't know who he's dealing with.

So what's the big deal?

He's one of the strongest men alive.

King Chapa is an extremely dangerous adversary.

The last time he entered the tournament,

I heard he won without being touched by a single opponent.

Fighters ready, and begin!

Don't be afraid, little one.

I'll stop before I kill you.

Thank you.

Goku's first preliminary bout

is shaping up to be a preliminary battle!

Today, on Dragon Ball!

The 8 Warriors

"Then There Were Eight"

Mmm. Poor Goku.

I can't think of a worse opponent for him

to face in his first match.

Yeah...

The fear inside you swells,

but I'll replace it with pain.

I can handle it, but thanks.

I hope you spent your time abroad wisely,

my young pupil.

This is not a fight you'd care to lose.

That's a first.

I knew I should have brought my camera!

Hmmm...

I was mistaken...

I am not dealing with an ordinary child.

Hm?!

He did great.

Chapa looks like he's out for blood.

He'll now use the Eight-Handed Technique.

Eight-Handed!

This guy must buy his skills wholesale!

As if he needed anything else to make him more dangerous!

Focus...

Now you will learn why I am feared.

Hm...

That's amazing!

Goku's dodging him. How can he even see his hands?

You shouldn't leave your feet unguarded.

You will pay for your insolence!

Where is he!

Up in the air!

Oh boy.

He just made a big mistake.

Why do you say that?

What are you doing hiding up there?

You're only delaying the inevitable.

Come down here and take your punishment!

You're finished!

Yaaa!

Number 28 wins the match by a knockout.

I've... never seen anything like that before.

He actually stopped his movement by

controlling his breathing. Amazing...

Whatever Goku learned over the last three years,

it seems to be working for him.

I won, Krillin! That was fun!

You did great!

But don't use all of your tricks in the beginning.

Save some for later.

Definitely. I agree with you.

That's why I'm saving some of my best techniques

for the tournament finals.

Ooh...

I can't wait to go up against

the most talented fighters, like you guys.

Yeah, right. Uh, me too.

That'll be interesting...

How much is he holding back?

It's possible that he's now stronger than me...!

Fighter 178, number 178.

Block

Please come to the fourth ring.

Whatever happens,

I cannot lose this match.

Mr. Chun, Mr. Chun!

Aren't you number 178?

Hm?

Good luck, Jackie Chun!

Begin!

Huh?

Goku is demonstrating a level of skill

far beyond his years.

He's doing things I've never seen before!

Why is Mr. Chun just standing there?

Maybe it's a new technique.

Gramps! Are you awake?!

Could it be possible the boy

is stronger than me?

Has the student surpassed the master?

If so, what good am I?

Hm?

Eh? Heh?

Ten! Time up!

The winner is fighter 178.

Hm...? Wow, I guess I don't know my own strength.

That was awesome! Way to go, Jackie!

My gosh! You wouldn't think he was that tough.

But, man, he's incredible!

Yeah. I'm sure he'll make it to the final match,

so what's the big deal?

One thing is certain;

the finals are going to be challenging...

and dangerous.

Yamcha had no idea how true his words were.

Tenkaichi Budokai

Tenkaichi Budokai

Some of the most gifted fighters in the tournament's history

took to the ring, as the Elimination Round heated up

in a blinding fury of sweat and muscle.

One after another, warriors fell and heroes were born.

Amongst these titans, Goku, Krillin, and Yamcha stood tall.

Fighters ready, and begin!

♪ Grab hold of the romance, Tenkaichi! ♪

♪ Having come to gather at the far-off city

Masters of all sorts of martial arts ♪

♪ Will test their strength in a dream tournament! ♪

I give up!

♪ He flew! Look, Goku

is swinging his tail! ♪

♪ He did it! Kuririn also

showed off an awesome technique! ♪

He's a better fighter than I first thought,

♪ Run! Now, feel the wind on your heart! ♪

albeit a little weak.

No, he's conserving... for later.

♪ Number One! Number One! ♪

♪ Number One! Who will it be?! ♪

Out-of-bounds. Winner is number two!

No matter his strategy...

he'll soon find out he's no match for me.

You're in great shape!

Thanks, you too.

Attention, contestants.

We will now break for a ninety-minute recess.

Yippee! Time for lunch! Let's go!

Hurry up, Yamcha!

We'd better get there before Goku eats everything!

Get your genuine unofficial t-shirts!

Get your Tenkaichi T-shirts here!

Stupid net!

How could you mess that up?

Goldfish Scooping

All right, one more time!

Of course, sir.

Watching Oolong blow all his zeni is entertaining,

but I'd rather be watching the tournament.

It's tough not being able to see.

Don't worry, they're fine.

Competition Hall

Not again! Okay, last time. Really.

Piece of cake.

You're not supposed to use live rounds!

This is a game, not a shooting range!

I could put a few holes in you!

No thank you!

Then give me my prize. Move it!

Here ya go.

A stuffed toy! Try again.

Why don't you get some real prizes?

At least Launch is having fun.

Here.

Anyone ever told you you have horrible table manners?

I agree.

Aah!

This year's Elimination Round is tough. Don't ya think?

Perhaps if you're not as good as we are.

I'm not worried.

Krillin! Only a fool would presume such arrogance!

There's no room in the ring for overbearing pride.

Closing your mind to the prospect of failure

will only ensure your defeat.

Too bad. But you sound more like

Master Roshi than Jackie Chun.

Hm?!

Yeah, you do. I'd swear you were him

if you didn't have so much hair.

Me? Master Roshi!

Oh, I'm flattered. That's a good one.

N-No, I'm just an old man trying to impart

some of my wisdom to you upstarts.

Heh. Besides...

I'm not that handsome.

You miserable slug!

That jerk!

Please! Don't hurt me!

You pass this waste off as food?!

The stench alone is enough to make me lose my stomach.

After a hard day's fight, I expect a decent meal.

So go cook one.

What?

What's wrong?

Oh, it's you.

If you can't play nice,

I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave.

Really?

I've seen you fight.

You're pretty good for an amateur.

You think you're ready for me?

Yes!

Here I am. Come get me.

With pleasure.

Uh!

Don't do it. This is not the time or place to fight.

Got it?

You could have been killed.

Thank the old man.

Chiaotzu, we're done.

Why was he so upset?

Because he's a big jerk!

Hrrrm.

Jackie Chun, huh?

Hm?

Nam, it's you!

Hey, Nam! Long time no see!

Ah, Goku!

It's good to see you again.

I will always be indebted to you for helping my people.

Are you gonna fight in the competition?

Yes.

Is your village short on water again?

No. Our water supply is fine now,

thanks to Goku and Mas–

Uh, I mean Jac–Jackie Chun.

You should see how my people have flourished

thanks in part to your contribution.

It was my pleasure.

Mr. Chun, I didn't know you helped out Nam's village.

Oh, it was nothing.

This time I am here for myself,

to test my skills against the greatest fighter

I have ever known.

I am looking forward to our rematch.

Mmm?

Hm.

Ooh... Aah!

Ooh!

I will fullfill my destiny!

Sounds fun.

Which block are you in?

I am in block number three.

Too bad...

I would have liked the chance to fight

an accomplished warrior like yourself.

But no matter what happens, we'll always be friends, right?

Yes.

Competition Hall

As the second half of the Elimination Round

got under way, nearly all of the 182 competitors

had been defeated.

The match goes to number one!

Only eight fighters make it

past the Elimination Round to compete

in the World Martial Arts Championship.

Despite the odds, all of Master Roshi's pupils

made it to the finals.

Even the Master himself... as Jackie Chun.

A knockout! The win goes to number 178!

His technique is flawless!

Mm-hmmm!

Hey! Look alive, fellas!

We're halfway to the goal post!

And, by the looks of it, you're leading the pack, Jackie.

That was great, Mr. Chun.

From here on, it just gets harder.

Medic, come quick!

Nam!

Aah!

Wake up!

Number 99 wins by a knockout!

He advances to the Championship.

You monster!

Is he all right?!

He sustained severe injuries and head trauma,

but he should live.

Poor Nam.

That's unfortunate. I should have hit him harder.

Oh well, no one's perfect.

An amateur like that has no business in the ring.

He may live, but he'll never fight

in another tournament again.

Neither will you.

No, Goku.

You hurt my friend!

Let me go!

Come back here!

Come back!

That's great! I'm impressed, guys!

I guess you did learn a thing or two

from Master Roshi, after all.

Speaking of Master Roshi... Where is he?

I haven't seen him since it started.

Wherever he is, I'm sure there's trouble.

It's kind of nice.

I need a break from the old man every now and then.

I'll tell you what you need...

A napkin.

And for your information, I've been hiding

amongst the crowd, watching the Elimination Round.

I come here to see my boys fight,

not stuff my face with sweets!

So did you like what you saw?

Mm-hm! From what I witnessed,

I'd say all three of you have improved a great deal.

I think we have a strong shot at winning this title.

Thanks.

We'll win, Master.

The Championship is about to begin.

Will all competitors please report

to the temple at this time.

It's on, guys!

Maybe the rest of you can find a good place

to catch the action.

With Launch here, anything is possible.

She's good at making room!

Follow me, boys.

My friend and I will show you the best seats in the house!

All right, people, listen up!

I want this path cleared out on the double.

Let's go! Move it!

And so the fight for the Championship has begun.

Not with a whimper, but a bang!

Join us 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 paradise!
