182 fighters entered the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai,

but only eight managed to vie their way through the preliminary matches.

"Showdown!! Yamcha vs. Tenshinhan!"

I feel like praying that the three of us will pull numbers

that don't make us fight each other right away!

Yeah, same here.

I never expected your entire Turtle Dance Club to survive...

It would seem the preliminaries consisted of nothing but dancers.

I'm surprised you survived with those "skills" of yours...

You're one lucky guy!

Funny.

I'm going to tear you apart while everyone looks on.

Hey, this is a joke, right?

You made it through the prelims too?!

Octopus!

What?! You have an octopus head too, you know!

No.

Are you a moron?!

Having no hair is better than having only one!

Jealous?

Knock it off, Chiaotzu...!

Quit your pointless fighting!

I won't forget this!

Hey! Turtle Hermit!

Muten Roshi-sama!

Come on, now...

Here we go...!

Turtle Hermit!

Is anyone in here?

Turtle Hermit–

Turtle Hermit–

Turtle–

Um...

Ow...!

What was that for?!

Whoops...

And why did you need to check the women's restroom?!

I already told you, I didn't know...!

A likely story.

I was looking for the Turtle Hermit so hard that I didn't realize!

It's all you ever do, so you can't blame me for suspecting you!

You're despicable beyond belief!

Lousy girl...!

I wonder where he could have gotten lost?

He doesn't want to see his students get slaughtered!

He would never think that!

Are you sure you're not here to see your students lose?

Well, aren't you the brazen-mouthed girl...

I'm done looking for him!

Do you mind if I look for him?

Such gloomy students...

They've been taught by the Crane Hermit, alright...

Your attention, fighters! Please gather around here!

We'll have to try hard!

Heya!

Oh? You're participating this time too?

Please don't break any more buildings, Goku-san.

We're going to hold a lottery to choose opponents,

so please pull a number when your name is called.

We'll start with Jackie Chun-san

Right.

He apparently won the last tournament.

Let's have him fight someone appropriate to check him out.

What's with you?

Do you have a grudge against Jackie Chun or something?

Shut up! Mind your own business!

Hey, Chiaotzu. Have him and the old man fight.

Right!

Number 4...

You're in Fight #2.

Next is Yamcha-san.

Right!

He's mine. Okay?

Got it!

Number 1...

That puts you in Fight #1.

Panput-san...

Here.

Number 7.

Let's see, next is Tenshinhan-san.

You know what to do.

Right!

Number 2.

You'll be fighting Yamcha-san in Fight #1!

I'll be sorry to see you gone so soon...

You'll be eating those words soon enough.

Kuririn-san!

Coming!

Number 6.

Okay.

You're in Fight #3.

Next is Wolfman-san...

Get it right! It's Manwolf!

Manwolf-san...?

That's right! Don't mistake me with that freak!

During the full moon, the crude Wolfman...

...turns into a wolf!

But in my case, I turn into a human during the full moon!

You got that?!

Sounds like the same thing to me...

Understood!

Draw a number, if you would, Manwolf-san!

What's with him?

Number 3!

Then you'll be fighting Jackie Chun-san in Fight #2.

This is great!

Talk about weird. Why's he so happy to fight Chun-san...?

Maybe he's confident he'll win...?

Is this guy some sort of pervert?

Let's see...

Is this read "Gyoza"...?

No. "Chiaotzu."

Competitor Chiaotzu...

Number 5.

Number 5?

That pits you against Kuririn-san in Fight #3.

Whew, I got that little runt.

I was worried I would be paired with you, Goku!

That leaves Son Goku-san with Number 8.

He'll be fighting Panput-san in Fight #4.

How did you know I was Number 8?

I wonder if he's right...

Wow! You're right!

You're smart!

Thanks...

Does the Turtle Hermit teach comedy routines too?

Ten. What was so funny about that?

You keep quiet!

The matches will be as follows...

Match #1: Yamcha vs. Tenshinhan.

Match #2: Manwolf vs. Jackie Chun.

Match #3: Chiaotzu vs. Kuririn.

Match #4: Panput vs. Son Goku.

When your names are called, please step into the outside ring!

Say, will you be having a meal before your match again this time?

Yeah!

None of you have any class at all.

This is great!

None of us have to fight each other in the first round!

Sometimes these coincidences happen.

They're a bunch of simpletons, that's for sure.

Great job setting up the matches, Chiaotzu!

Yeah!

You idiot! Knock that off!

He certainly is late...

Where did that dirty old man disappear to?

Old people can be such a pain!

And we even had Lunch-san get us all a good spot...

Eh?

But won't it be hard to watch us in action from here?

Don't worry!

We have Lunch-san with us!

Leave it to me!

I got us some front row seats!

Listen up!

If you don't wanna die, then get outta our way!

I got us this spot?

I wonder who gave it up for us?

Just forget about it.

Oolong! Why don't you go look for him again?

The matches are about to start!

I put in a request.

To the coordinator.

The coordinator?

We have a report of a lost child– I mean, a lost old man.

He's approximately 300 years old,

his head is 100% bald and shiny,

and he's a decrepit old pervert.

If anyone finds him, please notify the front office immediately.

Oh? Is she talking about the Old-timer?

That sounds sort of like Muten Roshi-sama...

Do you think maybe he's gotten lost?

I haven't seen him! Not at all!

Of all things, you're not supposed to list bad characteristics!

That's really rude to Muten Roshi-sama!

I'd love to hear his good traits, if you can think of any!

It is kind of hard to think of any...

Oolong-san!

Ladies and gentleman! Sorry to keep you waiting!

You better be! We almost died of waiting!

The 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai will now begin!

Of the 182 accomplished fighters who entered the preliminary round,

only eight competitors won their way through!

Those eight will fight it out in tournament-style matches!

Who will the strongest under heaven be?!

Who will take home the 500,000 Zeni grand prize?!

I wonder what that could buy me?!

Leave now before you get hurt!

That old fogy really tests my patience!

The loser of each match is out of the tournament!

A fighter loses if he falls out of the ring,

is knocked down and stays down until the count of 10,

or gives up!

Well then, let's get started with the first match!

Yamcha vs. Tenshinhan!

Come on out!

Here he comes!

It's Yamcha-sama!

After this, I'll never have to hear your big mouth again!

Because you're going to kick the bucket?

Yamcha is none other than a student of Muten Roshi-sama,

the renowned Turtle Hermit!

Incidentally, no less than three of the competitors in this tournament

are students of the Turtle Hermit!

The Old-timer is amazing...!

And Tenshinhan here is a student of the Turtle Hermit's equal...

...the Crane Hermit!

Two of his students are tournament competitors as well!

Impressive, isn't it, Octopus?

Don't compare me...

...with that jerk!

Amazing!

Practically everyone here is a student

of the Turtle Hermit or the Crane Hermit!

I'll have you unconscious in no time flat!

I look forward to it.

It'll be my pleasure!

Let the match begin!

Hey, Tenshinhan!

Now's your chance to run away!

Bark all you want. I'll shut you up soon enough!

That guy's gonna be a pushover!

No he won't. He's strong.

He can beat him, right?

Of course he can!

Rogafufu-ken!

I fight with guts and without showing tears

I'm always a nice guy...

I'm Yamcha!

With engines at full blast and on turbo

I race ahead with tomorrow in my sights!

I want to make a promise of love,

but being tied down

will make me too weak

Please don't get near me,

because I love everything about you

The lonely wolf, into the sky...

My world will flame up!

Incredible...!

They're both really good!

This is a most sudden surprise!

An amazing display of offense and defense in only a brief moment!

This guy's a lot better than I ever imagined!

I had no idea there was anyone this strong...!

It would seem he's not all talk!

It's been a while since I've fought someone this tough!

Here goes! Shin-Rogafufu-ken! ["New Wolf Fang Gale Fist"]

Sounds interesting!

Yamcha and Tenshinhan begin the explosive fighting

from the very first match!

What is the Shin-Rogafufu-ken?

And what will be the outcome of the match?

Come on, fantasy,

Oide fantajii

love, and mystery

sukisa misuterii

Don't you hide your youth

Heya! I'm Goku!

Wow! This fight is full of power!

That Ten Shin Han guy is doing pretty well!

Don't lose, Yamcha!

Count on me, Goku.

Even I have surprises up my sleeves sometimes.

Don't make me laugh!

I'll teach you the way of the Crane Hermit School!

Next time on Dragon Ball:

"Come on, Yamcha! The Fearsome Tenshinhan"

Don't miss it!
