The Dragonballs!

Some of the most enjoyable
drama in the world.

This life is one
big treasure island,

It's the truth! Now more
than ever, Adventure!



Goku and the others, each having
undergone his own training,

met again for the st time in years.



However, Piccolo Daimao's
fearsome double has also turned up.

The Tenkaichi Tournament is
about to begin... with a bang!



"The Turbulent Tenkaichi Tournament"



Impossible!



So you did come! Piccolo Daimao!



Goku! Don't tell me he's one of
Piccolo Daimao's henchmen who survived?!

Yeah. Something like that.

I knew it!



But keep it a secret from everyone else.

This whole place would be in
an uproar if they found out!

Goku. Did you know that guy?

That way he was looking at you... he's
no ordinary person, that's for sure...

Oh, uh, we were just talking about how
strong he looks. Right, Tenshinhan?

Ten-san!



Son Goku!



Who are you?



You idiot!



Really... who are you?



What's with her?

G- Goku!

S-she's mega cute!

Who is she?!

Where did you find her?!

I don't know. I've never
seen her before in my life...

Liar! That's not how she acted! You moron!

I'm telling the truth.

Goku! You really did train
at Kami-sama's place, right?!

I did...

Dammit! She's such a cute
chick, too! You're so lucky!

Dammit!



She really acted like
they knew each other...

Don't you agree, Tenshinhan?

Sorry to keep you waiting, fighters!

The qualifying matches will begin
shortly! Please gather in the center!



Thank you for coming all the
way to this Tenkaichi Tournament,
which is held once every years.

There are participants this time,

which is quite a decline
compared to previous tournaments.

This may be due to the fact
that the previous tournament
was tremendously high-level.

It still bothers me...

However, that also
means that everyone here...

Why exactly has one of Piccolo Daimao's
henchmen come to the tournament now?!

...is all the more confident
of his or her own skills.



It is crowded beyond belief!

And it'll be a long time until
the qualifying matches are over.

It's a real problem, isn't it?

Not for you, it isn't!

Don't push! It's dangerous!

I said don't push!

What are you doing?!

Slap!



What a hopeless old geezer...

And I didn't even mean to, either...



The qualifying matches will
be underway momentarily.

I hope Goku-san and the others
aren't eliminated in the qualifiers...

But we can't tell what's going on at all...

I'll go check it out!

Hey, Pu-erh! Only authorized
personnel are allowed in!

Not if you transform!

I'm comin' too! Transformation!



Lottery



You know what to do, Chaozu!

Spread our friends' numbers out!

Right!

Put him in a different block!
I want to check him out!

Got it!



I'm # ! I'm the first fight in Block !

I'm in the first half of Block .

What about you, Kuririn?

The last half of Block .

I'm in the last half of Block .

You're in the last half of Block , Chaozu?

Everyone's conveniently spread out!

That means we can get through
without having to fight each other!

That's great!

Talk about a lucky break!



What block do you think he's in?



What about Cutey?



How'd it go, guys?

Yamucha-sama!

It looks like we'll all be able to
make it to the actual tournament!

Really? That's great!

Good luck, Goku!

Thanks!

We will now begin the qualifying matches
to determine who will participate...

...in the final rounds
of the Tenkaichi Tournament!

Okay, this is the first match in
Block . You all know the rules.

You lose if you fall outside
of the ring, lose consciousness,

or give up voluntarily.

But please be aware that you
will be disqualified in the
event that you k*ll your opponent.

Now then, Competitors # and
, please enter the ring!

Well, I'm up!

Goku! Show us what Kami-sama taught you!

Well, now we get to see just
how much Goku has improved.



You're anxious, too, eh?



Hey, check it out! Isn't that... ?

It's Chapa-o!

Would you look at that? It's Chapa-o again.

I never dreamed I would
face you in the first round...

Well, no matter.

You are the perfect opponent to fight...

...in order for me to clear myself
of my disgrace from last time!

This time, I will place my
title as former champion of the
Tenkaichi Tournament on the line...

...and defeat you!



Hey, didn't he come in
nd place a while back?

Yeah, he's got himself
a Turtle Hermit uniform!

Man, he's really gotten bigger...

Chapa-o's really unlucky to
face him tournaments in a row!

The unlucky one is you, Son Goku!



Please begin!



I'll show you just how
much training I've done!



You call that a stance?!
Stop fooling around!

You'll find yourself in a world of pain
for making a mockery of martial arts!


Does Goku plan on doing anything?

What's going on?

I almost can't feel his energy at all!

It's completely gone...

And Chapa-o cannot win
if he doesn't realize it!

Goku's amazing...



Where is he?!



Where did he go?!

Aha! He's above me!



Is he... unconscious?

# wins!

Incredible!

He b*at Chapa-o with just one hit!

Totally awesome!

Pu-erh! Let's go and
tell the others about it!

That Goku... he isn't
even really trying yet!

Nope.

I don't know how to explain it, but I
get the feeling he's like really relaxed.

Certainly, that was a far
cry from his full strength.

But with the way he moves, defeating
me is an absolute impossibility.

I'll tear him apart
while everyone looks on!

You can bet on it!



Oh? Goku's become that skilled?

He's grown super, super strong!

It seems his training in the Upper
World was not merely for show.

Yamucha and the others trained too-

it looks like it's going
to be an amazing fight!

I can't wait!



Chaozu!



Chaozu!



Is he okay?!

Chaozu! Say something!



Chaozu...



I left him alive, but barely.

After all, k*lling him would disqualify me.

What?!



It's been quite a while,
hasn't it... Tenshinhan.

l-it can't be!

And Son Goku, was it?



Who are you?!



Tao Pai Pai!



So you've figured it out, huh?

T- Tao Pai Pai! Didn't you die?!

Don't be a fool!
As if I would die so easily!

Although I must admit I did
run into a bit of bad luck!

It took a great deal of
time for me to revive...

Um, could you step out of the ring?
We need to move on to the next match...

You will refrain from butting in!

You don't want to die an
early death, now do you?

Goku. Who is he?

Tao Pai Pai is an assassin.

An assassin?!

And it seems he's also the
Crane Hermit's younger brother!

So that might make him Tenshinhan
and Chaozu's former superior!

W-what?!

I could've sworn I b*at him... !



I could've sworn he blew up!

Oh, but I did.

Thanks to you,

I had to use up all of my earnings as
an assassin to come back as a cyborg!

A cyborg?!

Son Goku, or whatever you call yourself...

You had better not be
eliminated before you fight me!

I have no interest in winning
the title of champion, of course.

My only goal is to take your life.

You're next after him, Tenshinhan.

It looks like you've joined
the Turtle Hermit school.

Bloody traitor!

I haven't necessarily joined
the Turtle Hermit school!

I only felt that your
teachings were misguided!



Be prepared to die when next we meet.

I have no problem with it. I'll fight you.

I'll fight for Chaozu too!



As pretentious as ever, I see!

I'm looking forward to our fight!



Tao Pai Pai, who was feared by all
as the world's finest assassin,

has come back to life!

But now, as a cyborg, he
possesses even greater strength...

...and he has come to get settle
the score with Goku and the others!



Come along, fantasy,

I enjoy a mystery,

Don't you go hiding your youth!

Wanting to perform the mysterious,

Wanting to pursue the adventure,

Everyone is itching to go!

If you act like an adult and give up,

You'll never unravel the
mystery of the miracle!

Go on and try to live even
more wild and strong!

I'll give you a romance,
I'll give you a romance,

If you will show me
you're true courage.

I'll give you a romance,
I'll give you a romance,

I'll give your pounding heart
a glittery, shining dream!
