Those of you who wish to take part in the tournament

must complete your registration forms today.

Fighters who miss the deadline will be ineligible

to participate in tomorrow's preliminary schedule.

Thanks.

Awe...

Just can't wait to see some of this fighting!

They're late, all of them.

Let's hope it didn't slip their minds.

I didn't have a chance to remind them.

Awe...

Don't fret. I doubt any of them would forget this.

Still, it has been three years.

That's a long time.

Too long.

Ah!

Oolong, Puar, hello!

Hey guys! Long time no see!

Master Roshi! It's so good to see you!

And you're looking well fed, Oolong.

I think your ears have grown a bit.

Mmm. Actually, I had them reduced a little.

Don't worry. I'm sure the others will notice.

To be honest, it's not my ideal conversation!

Ooh...

Oh!

Launch! Has it really been three years?

Bulma!

Have the um, boys arrived?

Not yet.

What do you think of my new dress?

It's absolutely stunning!

It certainly fits in all the right places.

Is that cashmere? Let me feel.

Oh! Hands off, Roshi!

You're as strong as ever!

You haven't changed one bit!

By the way, do you know what happened to Yamcha?

I thought he was coming with you.

He did return to the West City for a short while,

but then he left again soon after.

He left to train all by himself.

That's right! By himself!

Yamcha too, huh? So did Krillin.

He never came back afterwards.

Uh... What's up with that?

They grew up, followed Goku's example,

and set out on their own.

They must be very strong now. I can't wait to see them!

Mhmm!

Balloon! My balloon!

Hm?

Balloon!

There now. Don't cry little girl.

I'll get your balloon down for you.

Mm? Mhmm!

Here, hold this.

I can't... reach it.

Uuh!

Oolong, why don't you give it a try?

What do you want?

If you can't reach it, what makes you think I can?

Couldn't you turn yourself into a ladder or something?

Oooh! It's raining.

Hold on a second. I've got an idea! It's simple.

I'll give you a boost and then you grab the balloon.

Yes? No?

Uh, maybe?

Yeah, right!

Uh! Just trying to help.

Hey guys!

Heh?

Is this a friend of yours?

No. Oolong, do you know who this is?

Mn-mm.

Puar?

No. Un-huh.

Huh?

Here you are, Bulma.

Mm. Who–How do you know who I am?

Master Roshi, I'm pleased to see you again.

All of you are looking well.

Uh. Master?

Uh-huh.

Where are Krillin and the others?

Haven't they arrived yet?

You can't be!

No way!

Eh, Goku?

What? O-Of course it's me. Who else would I be?

Uh.

The rain is starting to let up.

Maybe we'll see the sun today after all.

Aah...

Hey, are you really Goku?

Stop it! Maybe you can't tell who I am

because of this thing on my head.

I'll take it off so I'll look a little more like me.

Uh...

Ooh...

Now do you recognize me?

Who else but me has hair like this?

–Uh... –Lady?

Balloon.

Uh, oh yeah!

Thank you!

Funny, I remember you being a lot taller.

And you used to be much shorter.

Yeah. I guess I've grown since you last saw me.

You sure have!

You can't blame us for not recognizing you right away.

You definitely have Goku's hairstyle.

Uuh!

Bulma! What happened? It looks like your lips are bleeding.

No! It's called lipstick, you moron.

Ooh...

It really is Goku!

Attention! Last call for applications!

I repeat, last call for applications!

Goku, you'd better hurry up and sign in!

Yes sir. Have Krillin and the others done so already?

They're not here yet.

Hmmm... Okay. I'll be right back.

I still can't believe it. It's just amazing!

It's unbelievable!

Who would have thought Goku could grow up to be

so tall and handsome?

Just wait! I'm sure Yamcha will look even better!

You really think so?

Ugh! What am I, a coat rack?

The application booth will soon be closing.

Those who have not signed in, please hurry.

Uh, I have a few friends that seem to

have been unavoidably detained.

Can I sign in for them?

Sorry, that would be a direct violation of the rules.

All competitors must complete their application in person.

Master, what's wrong?

Mm.

One of them, Tien Shinhan, is defending champion.

Mm. Rules are rules.

All right. How long do we have before you close down?

Five minutes.

Five?! Minutes?!

I'll go take a look.

Uuugh!

Hmmm... Uh?

The application both will be closing

in three minutes.

Great!

Don't worry!

We will close in two minutes!

Uh...

I can't believe it. They're not going to make it.

Puar, any sign of them?

Mmm.

No, I'm afraid not.

We close in one minute.

Aah!

Oolong, transform into the guys and sign in for them.

I could do that, but the problem is

I need one minute to recover after each transformation,

which means... I can only be one person.

I might be able to turn myself into Yamcha.

Hmm.

I might could pass for Tien Shinhan.

How could they be late for this?

They've only had three years to get here!

That isn't fair, Bulma. I feel sorry for them.

It's time.

We are now closed.

They're here!

It's Tien Shinhan! He made it!

Hey!

Hey!

–Yamcha! –Puar!

Well, you'd think we've been gone a long time or somethin'.

It has been a long time, Master.

Mhmm!

I know you can't believe it, Master, but it's true.

I've gotten a lot taller since you last saw me.

Krillin! You look great!

Huh?

This is wonderful! We're all together again!

Uh, G-Goku? Is that you?

Yeah.

Oh, Goku! It is you!

Oh-ho-ho! I've missed you!

This is great! I never got the chance to thank you!

They told me how King Piccolo's goon killed me,

but you brought me back.

You're incredible, Goku!

I–I just don't know what to say!

Um. I'm just happy you're back.

It's good to be back. Thank you.

That's Goku? I can hardly believe it!

I know.

He's grown up so much.

Yes, and his power must have grown as well.

Mhm! He was strong, but now he must be invincible.

This should be an interesting tournament.

Hm! I can't wait to show him what I've learned

in the past three years as well.

I've made hotel reservations for all of us.

So why don't you all go get comfortable,

and save your energy for the match tomorrow.

Hm?

Great, thanks Master Roshi!

Master Roshi, aren't you going to participate

in the tournament this time?

I think I'll stand down this time,

and give you boys a fighting chance.

Wow, Goku, I just can't get over your height.

I mean, I always thought that

I would be the giant out of the two of us.

Really?

Mm!

Oolong, don't you just love Yamcha's ponytail?

Huh?

Ugh! Why? What do I look like, a hair-dresser?

So, tell me all about your training.

Was it as difficult as I heard it was?

Yeah. It was very challenging.

Your strength must have increased a ton!

Well, wait until you see me fight!

Yeah, I'm sure you'll be awesome.

I'm sure we'll find plenty of tough warriors to battle!

Hmm.

And King Piccolo's alter ego

is sure to be one of them.

Earth to Goku. Something wrong?

I'm fine. How's the weather?

It's raining again. How did your training go?

Goku?

Um... Goku?

Uh...

Sound asleep!

I wish you the best of luck, Yamcha.

Thanks. You know, for the past three years,

I've thought of nothing but this tournament.

I'll finally show them all what I'm made of.

Tien Shinhan. Are you okay?

I'm all right. The time has come at last

to settle the matter with Goku.

Okay.

I wonder what sort of training Goku endured

while he was away?

Hm! It doesn't matter.

I'll still defeat him in the end.

Mom, I'm going to go look!

Son! You'll get wet! You need an umbrella!

Oooh! Aah!

I'm eternally grateful, sir.

Aah! Aah!

The preliminary round is about to begin.

Will all contestants please report

to the fighting arena at this time.

Master, did you remember to bring my uniform along?

No, young man.

Your old uniform no longer suits you,

both in size and stature.

You've all surpassed my lessons. What you wear is your own.

It's up to you now.

Thanks!

Ta-da! Eat your heart out! Isn't it great?

I knew Master Roshi wouldn't let us

have our old uniforms back,

so I had this one altered. What do you think?

Hm!

Seems like we know the same tailor.

Uh! Mmm!

Me too!

Oh great. Next thing ya know,

you'll both be shaving your heads!

Goku! What happened to your tail?

Oh that? I got rid of it.

Uh...

You see, it turned out that the moon could be restored

if I lost my tail.

So that's what I decided to do.

Uh...

Hm.

Did you ever find it again? Ha-ha-ha!

Huh? What's the matter?

I was joking.

Hmm!

With that face, I'd say he's one of Shen's boys.

Do you know who he is, Goku?

Huh?

No! He looks like...

But that's... impossible!

Piccolo! I knew you'd show up sooner or later!

Tensions flare as King Piccolo's alter ego,

Junior, makes his grand entrance.

How will his presence affect Goku and the others?

Is Goku strong enough to defeat the alien?
