Previously on Dragon Ball,

Mercenary Tao returned as a vengeful cyborg

bent on destroying Tien Shinhan in the first match

of the World Martial Arts Tournament.

However, one blow from Tien ended his evil plot.

Love was in the air as Goku

swept his opponent off her feet...

After identifying herself as ChiChi, Goku's childhood friend,

the two quickly became engaged to be married...

Goku was confused, but the crowd certainly approved.

The third match saw Junior,

King Piccolo's alter ego, take on Krillin...

Junior assumed his victory would be swift,

but Krillin's fighting skills took him by surprise.

It seemed both warriors were evenly matched.

That is, until Junior threatened to unleash his full power.

I shall give you my full power. Unrestrained!

Krillin responded with unflinching determination

as Junior escalated the match into an all-out war.

And now, the battle continues!

Goku... How powerful do you think Junior really is?

I think we're about to find out.

That Junior guy gives me the creeps.

He's just staring at Krillin.

I've seen walls that are more exciting than this.

Amazing... His spirit energy is so strong.

I can actually see his aura.

Be smart, Krillin.

Take this chance I'm offering you to withdraw.

Challenging me is a mistake.

In your dreams!

Uh-oh. It looks like things

are heating up in the ring!

Attempting to scare his opponent,

Junior has advised Krillin to withdraw from the match.

Stop!

Stop laughing!

Huh?

Ha! You are amusing.

Where's that real power you were bragging about?!

Ah, feisty. Are you sure you're ready for it?

I can handle anything you can dish out! Come on! Ha, ha!

Ya!

This is gonna hurt a little bit. But rest assured,

I won't kill you...

Not yet.

But sooner or later, you will interfere with my plans

for world domination.

And that's when I'll strike, and you will cease to exist!

Hm...

What in the world is he going to do?!

What!?

Krillin, move!

Krillin!

You should've quit!

This'll be my last chance.

I'd better make it count!

Ka... Me... Ha... Me...

It's over, Krillin!

Ha!

It worked!

Hm?! Where did he go?!

Behind you, Krillin! It's a trap!

Looking for me?

K-Krillin!

How disappointing; I didn't want to kill him.

Not before breaking every bone in his body!

No... it can't be!

Krillin is back on his feet!

Brace yourselves, for it seems this fight isn't over yet!

That's better.

I'm done.

After showing more stamina

than any fighter could hope to muster,

Krillin has decided to stand down.

Therefore, under tournament guidelines,

Junior wins the match.

Although he lost, Krillin's skill and bravery

has given us one of the most breathtaking performances

ever seen in this ring!

Krillin, that was a fantastic match!

You've made great progress.

I'm really amazed by your technique!

Yeah, the only thing missing was a win.

Oh, boy! Way to go Krillin!

Now that's what I call self-improvement!

Good work!

The journey you've made

since arriving at my island is amazing!

Who's the goof?

Better help him.

Yeah... thanks.

Ah! You're the great Master Roshi... right?

Some people call me that...

Master... My name's Krillin

and I've come all the way from a village in the East...

Please allow me to be your student

and learn to fight like you...

You should feel proud, Krillin...

I certainly do.

What a struggle! You handled it like a champion!

Who would've guessed that

that runt had it in him?

Conquering this world may be more difficult than I thought.

Repairs on the ring are now complete.

The stage is now set for our fourth and final match

before the semi-finals begin.

If the last fight is any indication,

this one should be a doozy!

Let's turn our attention to the fighters.

What makes this match so unique

is the diversity of its players...

Experienced warrior, Yamcha, takes on novice, Hero!

Wow, so many people!

I guess they'll let anyone fight these days.

Nah, I'll bet he's an actor.

Hey, I may have struggled to stay alive,

but you'll have to struggle to stay awake.

You're just jealous. Luck of the draw...

This won't take long. I'll be back in a minute.

Good luck, Yamcha! You're the best! The B-E-S-T, best!

He knows how to spell!

I almost feel sorry for that guy having to fight Yamcha.

I don't think this'll take very long.

Right. One punch from Yamcha, and it's lights out!

I'm very honored that you would take the time to fight me.

Huh?

Yeah... No problem. It's kinda what I do.

Yamcha must be one of Goku's close friends.

It's too bad he's fighting that nerd. There's no way he'll win.

Ready contestants... And begin!

He's so silly.

That's an interesting technique you got there.

Feel free to attack whenever you're ready.

Okay. I appreciate your kindness.

No problem.

Ya know, I can't help but notice

how serious you've been lately...

Is, uh, something the matter? You used to be so cheerful.

Sorry... I've been preoccupied.

I have a strange feeling about Hero.

Oh.

Don't worry... Everyone here thinks he's strange.

That about does it for the warm up.

I'm limber and ready for action.

All right, go ahead. Let's see what you got.

That guy makes a great clown!

Yamcha... Go easy on him, okay?!

Ya!

In a moment of pure slapstick,

Hero lost his balance,

accidentally kicking Yamcha's side in the process.

Who knew clumsy could be such an effective weapon!

For someone who can't fight, you're doin' pretty good...

With moves like that, who knows what's next.

Uh, yes. Thank you. I mean, sorry. Now I'm embarrassed, I...

I'm the one who's embarrassed!

This fight should have been over before it began.

I'd better end this now, while I still have some credibility!

Listen, Hero, you seem like a nice guy, but this is a match.

So why don't we get back to it

and save the laughter for after the fight.

It'll be all over soon, I promise.

I don't wanna hurt the old fella.

I'll just kick him out of the ring.

Ooh! That looked painful.

Who would have thought Yamcha could fall victim

to circumstance a second time?

So much for experience. At this rate,

accident-prone Hero will chalk up another win in no time.

Since this was a self-inflicted injury,

we will forgo the countdown

and allow poor Yamcha to recover.

Oh boy, poor Yamcha.

That's a bad hit, but he'll recover... Right?

His body, but not... his pride.

Hero... Nothing happens by accident.

Ha-How nice of Yamcha to give us a preview of his victory dance.

Let's show him our support with a big round of applause.

Audience!

I trained three years for this?

Say, that was a toughie.

Maybe you should've warmed up first...

I can give you a few pointers...

I have some.

Ha, ha, ha, I appreciate your concern, but as you can see,

I'm in fantastic shape!

Oh, I understand... Yeah, don't worry...

Accidents happen to me all the time.

It must be very difficult

struggling in one's chosen profession.

You seem awfully confident, especially for someone

who has so little experience in the ring.

You don't really expect to beat me, do you?

I'm an optimist.

Optimism is great... But to defeat me,

you'd need nothing short of a miracle.

Miracles happen every day.

Come on, you're not a fighter.

Don't be so sure. What you see isn't always what you get...

And besides, I've done a good job so far.

Yeah... When it comes to luck, you're powerful.

Thanks. So, are you ready for a surprise?

Uh-huh...

Watch.

Who are you?!

You were paying so much attention to my theatrics,

you never realized the subtle moves I was making...

Didn't your master ever teach you,

that you should never judge power by appearance?

If you take nothing else from this fight...

remember the golden rule.

Perception is a great defense.

I was right. It's all an act. I'll bet even his name is phony.

I see what you mean.

Your act was very convincing... It fooled me.

Yeah. I'm good.

Oh, yes... When it comes to lies, you're a master!

Doh...?

I don't believe in using deception as a tool...

I fight my battles the old-fashioned way!

Poor boy. And I thought I was an optimist...

You must enjoy humiliation.

All right. We'll do it your way.

It's certainly more entertaining.

Say hi to my Wolf-Fang Fist!

No. Nuh-uh.

Forgot something.

Never leave your feet unprotected.

Who... is this guy? Where'd he come from?

Don't stop now... Is that all you've got?

The mysterious Hero is obviously a skilled fighter,

but who is he really?

Will Yamcha's skill be enough to defeat him?

Find out, as their match continues,

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 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!

Strong!

The guy is not someone to underestimate, after all.

And I'm finally able to fight Tenshinhan again.

Goku, show me the results of your training with God!

Sure! I'll make you feel it!
