Previously on Dragon Ball...

Goku continued his training

for the next World Martial Arts Tournament.

The young warrior endured various dangers,

including a shocking showdown against lightning!

I'm the strongest in the world!

Later, Goku met Karinto,

a kind old man who helped the eager hero

sharpen his concentration skills

while teaching him how to fish.

It's a keeper!

Time- Traveling Goku

"The Time Room"

Ouch!

I believe you've gotten stronger.

It took you longer to fall down that time.

You're too strong. I'm fighting with everything I've got,

but I can't keep up.

Hmm...

Well, nice trick, but better luck next time. Too slow.

I understand, Mr. Popo.

It's time to start your new training today.

I'm done with the old training?

Wow! I-Is this is for me?

I like the color but it's not my size.

Besides, we can't have you training in rags.

Haah!

It's perfect! Whoa! You can do anything, Popo!

Something we have in common... Follow me.

Whoa!

What a strange room!

It's called the Temple Rotunda.

Past, present, and future... All time is made in this room.

Sorry, Popo, but I don't understand.

Think of it as transportation.

It will take you to your next opponent.

Once you get there, however, it's up to you.

How strong do you think my opponent will be?

Strong enough.

Serendipity.

You boys act like you understand, but you don't.

There are no random events.

Everything happens for a reason. Goku understands.

That's why he's taking his training to the next level

while all of you are still swimming laps.

Having a bad day?

Tien.

This is useless. I'll never be a match for Goku.

I wonder how Yamcha and the others are doing out there?

I hope they don't over exert themselves

and get injured or something.

They're young, they can take it.

I was lifting boulders when I was five.

Master, do you mean that you've been training in Martial Arts

since you were a child?

That's right. And I didn't have it as easy as these boys.

When I was a kid,

we didn't have nice paths to carry our boulders on.

Master Mutaito made me walk across

the most treacherous terrain and without shoes.

You said we. The Crane Hermit was also

a student of Master Mutaito's, right?

Yes, that rascal. He was impossibly hopeless!

Compared to him, I was a genius.

I was known for being a keen fighter.

They used to call me "Turtle the Wonder."

Everyone had great respect for my talent.

That's something. And look how you ended up.

It is amazing, isn't it? I get better with age.

I know it's silly, and I mean no disrespect, Master,

but I just can't picture you as a young man.

Well, try!

I can't help thinking about Tien and the boys.

I wonder where they're at?

Goku should still be training with Kami.

It's not the same without them here.

Wait! Is that Fan-Fan?

Stupid steam! I can't see a thing! I've got to get closer!

I can't feel my head.

Who's there?

Be quiet!

So that was you making all that noise.

Close! What's the matter with you?!

You almost got the both of us in a lot of trouble.

Have we met before? You look familiar.

Yeah kid, I get a lot of that.

I'm sort of a celebrity around here.

I'm known for my superior skill

and my awesome fighting technique.

Oohh...

Good, so you're a fighter also?

Yeah. In fact, I'm Master Mutaito's best pupil.

Master Mutaito, is he strong?

What are you crazy?!

He's practically the strongest man alive!

Really? The strongest man in the world?

Do you think you could take me to him? I wanna fight him!

You're out of your mind. You wanna fight Master Mutaito?

You got me, kid! What a sense of humor!

Uhh...

Why are you laughing?

Look, I want you to tell me the truth.

Do you know Fan-Fan? Do you?

Fan-Fan?

Don't play dumb! The girl who was swimming just now.

Come on, you didn't drop in by accident, did you?

You know Fan-Fan!

If she finds out about this...

Darn! I should have stayed by the tree line!

I'm sorry. I didn't hit you on purpose.

You can watch me swim! Okay?

Stop clowning around!

Ow!

What do you want, Crane?

Wait a minute! Crane? He looks familiar as well.

How do you ever get any training done,

sneaking around the bushes all day?

I suppose it's just a coincidence

that you're here, too, Shen!

You're pathetic.

Everyone knows Fan-Fan will be Shen's girlfriend

sooner or later.

He's not a shy wimp like you, Roshi!

She's crazy about me.

What a vivid imagination!

You keep dreaming, Shen. Fan-Fan would never fall for you!

Ha-ha.

That's where you're wrong. All she needs is a little push.

Fan-Fan has better taste than to mix with your kind!

That's it!

Why am I wasting my time?!

I've got better things to do

than mess with a weakling like you! Let's go!

Yes.

Why don't you face me without using your mind tricks, coward?

I've got it! I know who you remind me of! Old Master Roshi!

What? Old! You need your eyes checked, kid. I'm only 18!

MUTAITO DOJO

MUTAITO DOJO

Interesting, child. You study martial arts as well?

Yes.

I'm sorry for bringing him here, Master,

but he insisted on seeing you.

So, which training academy are you associated with?

Right now, I'm studying with Popo.

Who?!

Interesting name... What is yours?

I'm Goku. I was sent here to fight the strongest man.

I hear that's you. Will you fight?

Silly child! Be quiet!

Do you accept my challenge?

Nice pet, Roshi.

Does he do tricks?

You have the eyes of a warrior.

I must admit, I'm curious to learn

if your spirit is as strong as your stare.

You'll fight me?

That's right. I gladly accept your invitation.

Master, please... He's beneath you. Let me fight him instead.

That's enough! I can handle my own battles, thank you!

All right, then... Shall we?

Aren't you going to take a fighting position?

I'm aware of your presence, young man.

I'm quite comfortable in this position.

Oh... I've never seen anyone so relaxed for a fight.

Proceed.

Sure.

I can't believe his speed. He's relentless.

Haaah...!

Master did it!

It's no surprise.

Hey, are you okay?

I'm okay. You're strong!

As are you. Your speed and power are most impressive.

You are a warrior.

Thank you, sir, but I don't understand. How did you do that?

You barely touched me, yet you blew me away.

Spiritual Power.

What?!

It's not unique to just me.

Everyone has it. It's the basic form of human energy.

With proper training, one can control it at will.

Whoa! You mean my spirit energy is as strong as yours?

Mm-hm.

With a lot of hard work. Follow me.

Huh?

Can you separate the water, Goku?

Separate it?

That's amazing!

How incredible!

You're amazement is misplaced. It's simply hard work.

With concentration, anything is possible.

Concentrate.

That's right. Clear your mind of all unnecessary thoughts; focus.

The rest is up to you.

I don't get it.

Why is Master wasting so much time on that kid?

He's never given us such personal instruction,

not even to you, Crane.

Haven't you had enough for today?

You can't do everything at once, ya know.

You need a hobby...

You were right. The stain came right out.

Who does this belong to?

Over here! Little boy! That scarf belongs to me!

Huh?!

It's Fan-Fan!

Thank you so much for fetching my scarf.

You saved me a lot of trouble.

My father would've been very upset if I had lost it.

Sure. It was no problem.

Fan-Fan! I'm dreaming!

My goodness! You're sweating buckets.

Are you training for something?

–Uh-huh. –He sure is!

The kid's slow, but he's persistent.

Luckily, I'm patient. I've been giving him a few pointers.

I've been sweating a lot myself. I can hardly see.

Maybe you should take off your sunglasses.

Take care, and good luck.

Right. Thanks!

That little upstart

seems to be getting very chummy with Fan-Fan!

You'd better set him straight, Crane,

or there could be trouble.

Fan-Fan is so beautiful.

She brightens everything she sees and touches,

even this tree!

Who are you?

Rats! The Crane Hermit!

Hello, Fanny.

It's time you gave an answer to that letter I wrote you.

Oh, the letter. Right. I thought you'd get the message.

Thanks for the gesture,

but I can't keep your mother's bracelet.

Anyone in their right mind would love to date the Crane Hermit!

He can dance!

Excuse me. I have to be going now.

Don't be a fool! Everyone who's anyone likes me!

No one refuses the Crane Hermit and gets away with it!

Shen, find another partner. My dance card is already full.

My patience with you has run out, girl!

You will like me, whether you like it or not!

I'll put you in your place!

You've gone too far this time, Shen! How dare you hurt Fan-Fan!

Let her go!

Save yourself the embarrassment, Roshi,

and tell your pet to meet me at Dead Field.

What? To Korin's Tower?

Yes. Goku has met Korin. I wanna meet him, too.

Oh yeah. I heard Goku received training at the tower,

same as Master Roshi.

Is that so?

Hey, what's the rush?

Why are we in such a hurry? Did something happen?

No time to explain!

We have to get to Dead Field

and save Fan-Fan before it's too late!

Here they come!

Here he is, you lousy Crane! Now, where's Fan-Fan?

What's going on?

What was that for?!

You're in the way! Fan-Fan is mine!

Ouch! That hurt! Are you insane?!

You could have broken my glasses!

If you didn't want to get hit,

why attack me in the first place?

You play nice or else!

Oh no! What have you done?!

Nothing, yet.

As long as you don't move a muscle, neither will he.

You coward!

Haah!

Why are you still standing?!

Bye!

Imbeciles!

Did you really think I came without a backup plan?

Things just went from bad to worse.

I hate to admit it, but I think Shen's got us!

I'm sorry I brought you into this, Goku!

With concentration, anything is possible.

Clear your mind of all unnecessary thoughts; focus.

The rest is up to you.

Yes! It's working. We did it!

I don't believe it!

Wow, I wish I could do that.

Who's gonna save you now?!

Master!

Now I'm really angry!

You have a choice to make, Shen.

Either you leave now,

or you start your training from the beginning.

He's my pupil, so this is my fault. Forgive me.

I think he became rotten on his own.

That thing you did with the fire was great,

just like I taught you. I'm impressed.

You did? You are?

Sure. It's just a shame Fan-Fan couldn't see it,

if you know what I mean!

I wasn't unconscious the whole time. I know what I saw.

Oh! I... I'm so glad.

I guess if I could cut through fire,

water can't be much different.

Uh, right. That's the idea.

You can do whatever you put your mind to.

Why isn't it working?

Of course, you could've just had beginner's luck.

But you keep trying. It's good... exercise.

It's difficult to tell whether or not Goku will succeed.

I call this move the Fly Swatter.

Traveling through time seems to have made

Goku stronger... or has it?

Can young Roshi help his future pupil harness his Spirit Energy?

Or will failure be his newest lesson?

Find out 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.
