Thank you all for coming to this, the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai.

182 martial artists from around the world have gathered here.

Who will the world's strongest fighter be?

The unbelievable battles are about to begin!

"I'll Make it Through!! Preliminary Survival!"

Let us first decide who will fight in which matches.

Each participant is to draw a number from the box.

62. Which puts me in the 2nd half of Block 2.

I'm in the last half of Block 1.

Please don't make me fight Goku...

Whew! I'm in the first half of Block 1!

How about you, old man?

Me?

I'm number 1 78, so I'm in Block 4.

That's great! We're all spread out!

We will now hold the preliminary matches

to determine the eight participants for the Tenkaichi Budokai.

Please find your number on the preliminary match-up board

and gather near the appropriate ring.

The rules are as follows...

The fights are one-on-one, and take place in these rings.

You lose if you fall off, pass out, or give up.

The use of weapons is forbidden.

There are no time limits anymore.

You will fight until a conclusion has been reached.

Let's do it, Kuririn! Don't lose now!

You got it!

Hey, Chiaotzu! Check him out!

He's from that one time...

Yes.

There's no question about it.

I never expected to see him here...

Now things are getting interesting.

Let's begin the Block 1 preliminary matches.

Fighters 1 and 2, please enter the ring!

Well, I better be careful not to lose right off the bat...

Good luck, Yamcha!

The preliminary matches should be starting soon.

I wonder if they'll do okay...

Don't worry.

I'm sure they'll all make it through the preliminaries together.

I sure hope so...

A little kid, huh?

Boards don't hit back.

Neither will you.

The fight'll be over before you get a chance to.

Please begin!

Time to see just how good the Turtle Hermit school is.

Die!

Number 1 has passed out! Number 2 wins!

That was great! You must've trained a lot!

I guess...

What do you think, Ten?

Check it out. It looks like Kuririn's up.

Let's watch!

Number 63!

Is fighter number 63 here?

What's that...?

He's huge!

You're my opponent?

T-That's right...

This is a masterpiece!

Little boy! If you don't wanna die,

then go back home and do your coloring books!

Now I remember! He's–

Do you know him, Yamcha?

Anton the Great!

He's a former pro-wrestling world champion!

Is he strong?

I heard that he's so strong that he ran out of opponents

and now he has to wrestle in the underground scene!

Now then, let's commence with the fight.

Begin!

You can attack me any time you're ready!

That's a saucy little mouth ya got there, Octopus Baby!

Octopus Baby?!

Time to go splat!

Watch out, Kuririn!

It's all over if he catches you!

Oh, no!

I'll crush ya like a bug!

This is bad! He can apply 400 kg of pressure!

He can even crush boulders!

Kuririn!

Just kidding!

This isn't enough pressure to hurt me at all!

W-What?!

You little runt!

What's the decision?

Ring out for number 63!

Number 62 wins!

Peace!

That was amazing!

You're way better than you were three years ago!

Yeah! Great job!

No, it's still too early to be surprised.

I'm just getting warmed up.

Only a simpleton would boast about something like that.

What?!

Huh? Who are you?

He's a pupil of Muten Roshi-sama's rival,

the creepy old Crane Hermit.

Now I remember!

You're the guys who tricked the Inoshikacho!

You know them, Goku?

That's right. He owes me his life.

I didn't finish him off when I could have.

What's your point?

That nobody can beat me.

You're lucky you don't have to fight me in the preliminaries.

What?!

What's with this guy?

You sure are weird.

Shorty.

What? Who're you to talk?!

Shorty.

Why, you little...!

That's enough, Chiaotzu.

We're going to destroy these guys in the ring soon enough.

Assuming they make it into the final eight, of course.

Get lost. Before I make you.

Your spirit is praise-worthy, but in your last fight,

you missed your opponent's vital spot by one centimeter.

I missed on purpose.

I don't feel like becoming a murderer.

But I don't hold back when I fight guys like you.

Interesting.

Want to fight right here?!

It'll be fun busting that big mouth of yours.

Don't do it, Yamcha.

Don't stop me, Goku!

I can't stand people like this!

Knock that off, you two.

I doubt you came all the way to this tournament to cause trouble.

You cannot afford to be suspended!

Who's this old geezer?

Geezer?

That's Jackie Chun-san, the winner of the last tournament!

Didn't you guys enter the previous tournament too?

If this old bag of bones beat you,

then I guess you really are no match for me.

What'd you say?!

Well, good luck.

Let's go, Chiaotzu.

That bastard...!

He's the world champion for detestability, that's for sure!

Hey, look, it's that creepy old Crane Hermit!

Where did that moronic Turtle Hermit go?

Who knows?

He's probably using the bathroom again!

I don't know...

Maybe he went back home

because he was afraid of seeing his students pulverized.

What did you say?

By the way, are you his girlfriends?

No! Don't be stupid!

I see...!

Say, those are some nice breasts you have there...!

What do you say? Will you come live with me?

I'll make you feel great!

Who would ever do anything with you?!

Get lost, dirtbag!

Dirtbag...?

Then how about you? I'll take good care of you...

I'll take good care of you...!

Wonderful...!

Well?

Leave me alone, ya old fossil!

Pass this message on to the Turtle Hermit.

"Don't forget to make arrangements for your students' funerals."

Would fighters 99 and 100 in Block 3 please step into the ring?

It's my turn.

Good luck, Ten-san!

Check it out, he's up!

Guys like him are nothing to worry about.

It would be hilarious if he suddenly lost here!

No, he's really good!

Yeah?

Goku. What exactly happened between you two?

Have you fought him before?

Yeah. A little bit.

He thinks he's such a big shot!

What is that?

Looks like a big lump o' fat!

What was that?!

Try saying that again!

What? You got a problem?!

I'll kill you!

Go ahead and try!

No way...!

My punch didn't work...!

That sumo wrestler's good!

Yes. Opponents like him are quite difficult.

Superficial attacks don't affect them.

Begin!

He passed out...!

Number 99 wins!

We need a stretcher!

What in the world happened?!

Did he do something?

Four hand chops...

Plus two kicks.

He's good!

But he's not super good!

Fools.

As if I would show all my cards during the preliminaries.

Fighters 27 and 28 in Block 1!

Oh, that's me!

One, two, three, four...

Goku's turn at last...

I wonder if we'll get to see a lot...

I look forward to seeing how much Goku has improved...

That's Goku's opponent?

He doesn't look that strong...

I feel a little bad for the guy,

being paired up with Goku right off the bat...

Look at this. Aren't you the adorable opponent?

I'm certain I've seen his face somewhere before...

Hey, isn't that Chapa-o?

Yeah...

That's right! He's Chapa-o!

Chapa-o? That's Chapa-o?!

Goku's run smack into a really experienced fighter!

Who's Chapa-o?

Basically, he's a really good expert!

I heard he won a previous Tenkaichi Budokai...

...without anyone ever laying a finger on him...!

This could be bad!

But this is Goku we're talking about!

He might stand a chance if he's careful!

Let the match begin!

Don't worry. I won't kill you.

Thank you!

This is indeed a tumultuous tournament!

What will be the outcome of the fight between Goku and Chapa-o?!

Come on, fantasy,
