With a frenzied roar from the crowd,

S H E N

the tournament began.

The first match was Mercenary Tao versus Tien Shinhan.

Tien wasn't the only one

with friends in the audience.

Tao's brother, the Crane Hermit, decided to show up as well.

Tao vowed to destroy Tien before the tournament's end.

Ready! Let the match begin!

Just like old times, huh?

Yes.

All eyes turned to the match, some with vengeance,

some with concern.

Tien's colleagues watched anxiously

as the cyborg's sinister plot began to unfold.

You look nervous. Don't be.

Pain should come easy for you.

"Tien Shinhan vs Mercenary Tao"

It's, uh, strangely quiet, uh, don't you think?

Hm. I hear many sounds that invade the silence.

Why do I always get stuck behind the big hair?

Doesn't a fight require, uh, movement?

They're like statues.

It's been ten minutes. Tien can't move.

It's Tao who can't move.

Huh?

Well folks, this fight may have just started,

but already we're witnessing a stalemate.

Neither participant has moved a muscle since this match began.

Remarkable! Tien has a perfect defense.

I can't find a vulnerable spot

on his entire body.

My brother was a little too thorough

with your training.

This is going to be harder than I thought.

Will one of you please throw a punch before we all fall asleep?

Hello, Tien Shinhan. Can you hear me?

I interrupt this boring excuse of a match

to bring you this little bulletin:

You cannot defeat my brother, Tao,

because he's the one who taught you defensive strategy.

A shame all that knowledge was wasted on a loser like you.

How could a failure like you

ever hope to best my brother?

You were never a match for him. Not then, and certainly not now!

Huh?

Whoa! Now that's more like it!

That was a lucky shot.

The minute they moved, Tien Shinhan dealt his opponent

a crushing blow! Amazing!

Tien...

Well done. You've improved a little.

You're no longer tripping on your own feet!

Seeing as how you've grown up,

I no longer have to hold back!

Prepare for pain!

Tao!

Wait a minute. There's something I need to say.

Huh?

Huh?

It's too late to beg for mercy, weakling!

I'll forget what you did to Chiaotzu. Stop this madness.

You fool, don't talk as if

you're in control of this situation!

You're just scared!

You're mistaken.

I've grown much stronger than you realize.

Don't talk behind my back, coward!

You think you're stronger than me?

I'll enjoy taking you down, Tien!

Sir, I didn't ask for any of this.

I take little pleasure in fighting you.

Very funny, Tien. Hilarious!

Your arrogance has just sealed your fate!

Now die!

They're moving so fast. I can't tell what's going on.

Tien's speed is incredible!

That's fast.

I'll say! Tien is fantastic!

He's avoiding every move Tao that throws at him!

He makes it look easy.

No!

Try to understand. What I say to you is out of concern,

not disrespect.

You and your brother taught me how to fight.

I am grateful for your guidance.

I do not wish to see you lose in disgrace. Leave the ring now!

I'll rip your eyes out!

We'll do this the hard way. Move!

This is a surprise!

Tien Shinhan is attempting

to escort his opponent out of the ring!

That's new.

No, Tien!

Possession of a knife by Mercenary Tao!

Tournament rules prohibit use of weapons in the ring.

Tao is disqualified.

The winner by default is Tien Shinhan!

Oh, be quiet! I don't care about your match!

As long as I can kill Tien Shinhan.

Yes, take your revenge! That's what you came here for, Tao!

Annihilate all of Turtle Hermit's students!

They don't deserve to live!

You are defeated! Just admit it. Prepare to die!

What respect I had for you has now turned to pity.

You have no honor!

You're mistaken. I have plenty of honor.

The honor of killing you!

That's it. Keep your silence.

My blade will finish this conversation!

The match is over! You are not allowed

to kill each other in the ring!

Please, put the knife down and leave!

You're next!

I'd be happy to lend a hand.

We can take him together, Tien!

No, stay where you are. I'll take care of this.

Die!

Tien, look out!

No!

I hope you didn't pay a lot for this toothpick.

Did you really think I'd be so easily defeated?

Admit it, Tao. This fight is over.

I've been dying to use this one all day!

Introducing the Super Dodon Ray!

Eh?!

Super Dodon Ray? That doesn't sound good.

This new version far exceeds the original

in its destructive power.

Its lethal force incinerates anything it touches.

Tien, get out of there. It's not safe.

That ray; it's unstoppable! Tien!

I've adjusted the ray to match your biological signature.

There is no escape. No matter where you go, it will track you.

Go ahead! I'm not afraid!

No! Don't!

This pig knows when to exit!

Hey! If Tien stays, so do we!

Ha! Not so arrogant now, are you?

Some things never change, do they, Tien? Ha!

You act tough, but inside you're just scared!

Prepare yourself!

Super Dodon Ray!

Enjoy! I hope it's painful!

Tien?

I-I don't believe it. It can't be!

Ho-How could you have survived it?

I had you in my sights.

There's no way you could have escaped doom!

The ray was flawless!

He did it!

Excellent job, Tien.

–Yeah! –I'll go tell Chiaotzu!

Uh-uh-uh!

You guys should have listened to me.

I knew Tien had this thing in the bag.

Then why did ya try to sneak away?

Please let me go!

It's all right, folks! You can breathe again.

Whew! What a wild opening!

Just the kind of intensity you've come to expect

right here at the World Martial Arts Tournament!

Again, since Mercenary Tao used a weapon, he has lost the match.

Tien Shinhan wins the match

and will go on to compete in the semi-finals!

Tien Shinhan performed as well as I expected.

He finished Mercenary Tao with just one punch!

He'll be asleep like this for a few days.

Please take him home and never show yourselves around me again.

Thank you, Master.

You traitor! You will not die peacefully,

I assure you of that!

It's you who won't die peacefully, old Crane!

You were great!

Thanks.

The way you handled the Super Dodon Ray was amazing!

I was really impressed!

That's enough.

He needs to be left alone.

Amazing!

I never thought Tien would grow

into such a well-tempered and powerful warrior.

There is nothing more that this master can teach him.

Strong guy.

Fighting Tien won't be easy.

Now it's my turn! I can't wait!

This should be some match! I'd better stretch.

I'd be excited too if I was

–fighting a pretty girl. –If she fights as well

as she yells, I'm in trouble.

Hello.

Hmph!

Uh...

It's time to turn our focus to the second match

in this exciting tournament!

Goku, who nearly won the last championship...

It'll be great to see Goku in action!

...whose name is being withheld by request.

This lovely lady proved in the preliminaries

she can hold her own against the boys.

Go ahead, Goku. Try to impress me.

To accommodate the young lady's unusual request,

we will refer to her as Anonymous,

throughout this match.

It seems like you're always angry about something.

There's a lot to be angry about, when I see you!

Uh... Uh...

Hmph.

As the tournament continues,

there are more questions to be answered.

Who is this pretty and mysterious girl?

And what has Goku done to make her so upset?

Find out when we return for the next chapter

in this exciting tournament,

only 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!

Alright, it's finally my turn.

But what does that woman want?

Goku! Did you really forget about me?

But I...

U-Um... who are you again?

How could you forget a cute girl like me?!

I will not forgive you!
