Post by bunniefuu »

Let's go grab them up! The Dragonballs!

One of the most thrilling
secrets in the world.

Let's go seek them out!
The Dragonballs!

One of the most delightful
miracles in the world.

This life is one big treasure island,

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

The love of a
pounding chest is GISSIRI,

Multi-colored dreams
rain down DOSSARI,

Somewhere in this world,
they are glowing.

Let's go on out there
and find them, BO Y,

All the while pounding on
mutants and monsters,

And we'll fly through the day
on our cloud machine as well!

Let's fly, fly, fly, how mysterious,

Charging through the sky,
while we overcome mountains!

Let's try, try, try,
such an adventure,

Our strange little
journey now begins!

Let's get them in hand!
The Dragonballs!

One of the most formidable
gambles in the world.

Let's go chase them down!
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!



A terrifying enemy has made
a most unexpected appearance...

...before Goku and the others, who are
competing for the title of champion!



Tao Pai Pai!

Son Goku. Make it through
the qualifying matches.

Stay in the tournament until
you get the chance to face me.



"The Chosen Eight"



No entrance!

Stop pushing!

Come on!

Come on, you cheapskates!

What's the harm in letting us watch?!

Authorized personnel only!

Please wait for the
qualifying matches to end!

Move aside, please!



It would appear this tournament is
even more brutal than the last one.



Ch- Chaozu!

Say something, Chaozu!

Don't touch him!

Bulma-san!

I'll go, too!



Who on earth could
have done that to Chaozu?!



We need a stretcher over here, now!



Don't touch me!



We need a stretcher over here, too!



So he's Piccolo's double, huh...

His strength is far greater than
the first Piccolo's, though!



Looks like he did a fair
amount of training of his own...



I'll turn ya into
mincemeat in seconds flat!



Damn you!



Winner! Number !



Damn it!



What the hell're you doin'?!



Stop it! Let go!

You're gonna pay!

Stop it! That's enough!



Competitor # will participate
in the Tenkaichi Tournament!

Hey, I did it!

Just what you'd expect from a guy
who got runner-up times in a row!

He practically flew
right through the prelims!



Number will participate!



Number will participate!



Number will participate!



He's given up! Number will
participate in the Tenkaichi Tournament!



Just as I expected,
he made it through too.



Check it out! Looks like that
Tao Pai Pai guy won a spot, too!



Number will participate!



It looks like he isn't kidding
when he says he's out to k*ll us...



I give up!

Number will participate!

Holy smokes! It's that girl!

I get the strangest feeling I've
met her somewhere before, but...

Just more person until all
the tournament spots are filled...

Who do you think it'll be?



Ahhh! That feels better!

Wow, that hurts...



Hey, you can't come in here! You know
the rules! No spectators allowed inside!

No, uh... I'm, uh...

Uh, well, you see, I'm...



No excuses!

No, you don't understand...

Number ?! Is Competitor # here?!

You'll be disqualified if you don't show up!

Yes! I'm right here!

Right here!



Upsy-daisy...



That's a morning radio
workout, isn't it? What a joke!



What's the deal with
this middle-aged dweeb?

We need to get the fight underway.

Oh! Right!



Please treat me well.



Geez, how the heck did
he even make it this far?



Um... your fly is down...



Ahh! It is!



Begin!



Alright, whatever.



Oh no!



Competitor # will participate!

Wow, that hurts!



That was the lamest fight I've ever seen!



Let's see...

Would all the competitors participating
in the tournament please gather here?



Now then, you will all draw lots
to determine who your opponent is!

Ow... !



Damn it. Good thing I was in disguise.

But one thing's for sure- That
middle-aged dude is no ordinary guy...



Why'd I hafta run into someone
that good in the qualifiers?

I shouldn't have wasted
my time coming here.

Okay, everyone, time
to draw your numbers...

Hello, again!



D-didn't you...



...die last time?!



(Buddhist chanting)

Knock it off, I'm not a
ghost! I came back to life!



Thus the lottery came to an end,

...and the matches of the
tumultuous rd Tenkaichi Tournament

Ma-Junior vs. Kuririn
were determined at last.

Um, who would Ma-Junior be?

Oh, that's him, right over there.

Ma-Junior?



Fight # ! Tao Pai Pai versus Tenshinhan!



Fight # ! Son Goku versus Anonymous!

Fight # ! Ma-Junior versus Kuririn!

Fight # ! Shen versus Yamucha!



So how is Chaozu?

He's all right. He suffered
injuries all over his body,

...but he don't seem to
have any broken bones!

That is certainly good news.

Oh! Here they come!



I see. It's unfortunate what happened
to Chaozu, but the rest did very well!

Was there any doubt?

But I'm really worried about
the guy who b*at Chaozu.

Do you know him? He's the Crane
Hermit's younger brother, Tao Pai Pai...

T- Tao Pai Pai?!

But didn't Goku...

He survived. And now he's half robot...

Tao Pai Pai is intent on
k*lling both Goku and Tenshinhan.

And he's up against
Tenshinhan in the first fight...

Tao Pai Pai...

This doesn't fare well, indeed...

He knows all the tricks
Tenshinhan has up his sleeves...

He's nothing to worry about.

He doesn't stand a
chance against Tenshinhan.

I wouldn't be so sure of that.



The Crane Hermit!

You should see the stupid
looks on all your faces!

What did you say?!

Let me give you a little warning.


None of you Turtle Hermit dimwits better run
away while the others are being slaughtered!

Listen up, you old coot!

Neither Tenshinhan nor these are even
in the Turtle Hermit school anymore!

They have all surpassed me and
are now following their own paths!

Oh? Despite the fact they're all
wearing Turtle Hermit uniforms?

Each decided on his own to wear a
uniform out of their feelings toward me.

That's right! Unlike you, people
actually respect Muten Roshi-sama!

That's it, talk as big as you
want... while you still can.

Why you... !

When he became a cyborg, Tao Pai
Pai gained unimaginable strength!

I would be surprised if Tenshinhan and
you boys had any chance of winning at all!



I just can't stand that senile bag of bones!

The really strong guy to look
out for isn't Tao Pai Pai.

The fights will commence shortly.

Would the fighters please assemble
in the main fighting hall?



This is it!



Go get 'em!

Show us all just how
much you have improved!

But make sure not to overdo it, now!

Step down if need be!

Understood!

Good luck, you guys!

Yamucha-sama! Win the championship!

Right!



Now then, I suppose this time I
will leisurely watch from the crowd.



This sucks! I can't see with
all these people in the way!

Indeed, this isn't any way
to watch the tournament...

Whatever should we do?

Pardon me, Lunch-san...



Sorry to ask you again, Lunch-san...

Just leave it to me!



Outta the way! Unless
you losers feel like dyin'!



Excuse us...



Say, Goku...

Tao Pai Pai was a really
strong assassin, right?

And now he's even stronger than before,

...so what's with this, "He's
nothing to worry about" stuff?

Simple. Tenshinhan's way better than he is.

I dunno, he used to be sort of
like Tenshinhan's master, right?

Say, want something good to eat?



Look!

If you eat one of these
you'll be full for days!



Senzu, right? Yamucha and I have some too!

See!

Eh? So that means that you guys...

Yup. Kuririn, Tenshinhan, Chaozu,
and I all climbed Karin Tower!

After that we all went our
separate ways to train on our own!

Really?! That's great!

There was this guy at the top...
Yajirobe is what I think Karin called him.

He seemed pretty strong, so we
invited him to come to the tournament,

...but it doesn't look like he showed up.

He hates this sort of thing!

Aw, shaddup! I got
knocked out in the prelims!

Ladies and gentleman!
Sorry to keep you waiting!

The rd Tenkaichi
Tournament is about to begin!



This is it!

I'm more nervous than past tournaments...

There were only participants this time,

which is a lot fewer
than the last tournament,

...but out of those , fighters
have valiantly battled their way...

...through the qualifying round to fight it
out for the honor of being the world's best!



Just what sorts of fights
will we bear witness to today,

...and just who will come out on top to
be crowned best fighter under heaven?!



The first match is between
Competitors Tao Pai Pai and Tenshinhan!

Would the fighters please enter the ring?



b*at that guy's brains out!

You got it!



Good luck!

Don't worry. I won't k*ll you for now.

I will leave you only
half-dead when the match ends.

I'll deal with you and Son Goku at my
leisure after I win the championship.



What's with that guy?!

That's one freaky-lookin' dude!

b*at the crap outta him, Tenshinhan!

Don't ya dare lose!



Let the first match begin!



Are you ready?



Yes.

I'm glad to hear it. In that case,
I'll take care of business now.



Dirty traitor! You're in for it now!

Now we see...

The fierce battle is about to begin!



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.

l'll give you a romance,
l'll give you a romance,

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