So sa ima koso adobenchaa!

The suspenseful 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai has begun.

Yamcha was regretfully beaten by Tenshinhan,

but Jackie Chun effortlessly defeated Manwolf.

Now the last half of the first round is about to begin!

"Not the Dodonpa!!"

Say...

What do you say we buy some lunches for Son-kun and the others?

Oh, good idea!

They'll love that!

Here you are. Thanks a lot!

Hey! Boxed lunch man!

Over here! Over here!

Sure thing!

Hurry!

How rude! I do have money, you know!

Lunch-san seems normal enough. Why didn't he come over?

You got me.

Hey, ice cream man!

What can I get ya?

What in the world's going on?

They're too scared to get near.

What's so scary about me?!

It's him.

Wow, what happened to him?

Who is he?

A competitor in the Tenkaichi Budokai.

More precisely, a fighter who nearly burned to death in the preliminaries.

Who on earth did that to him?!

Match #3 is Kuririn vs. Chiaotzu.

It's finally Kuririn's turn!

Here we go!

Kuririn! Avenge Yamcha!

Kick some butt out there!

Yamcha-sama.

I'm fine now, Pu'er.

Isn't the third match about to begin?

If I remember right, it's Kuririn versus Chiaotzu,

one of the Crane Hermit's students.

Do you think Kuririn-san will win?

He will. I really hope so, anyway.

But they're mysterious guys.

We can't be careless.

Pu'er.

Yes?

Go cheer on Kuririn and the others

and keep me informed.

But...!

Don't worry about me.

Right!

Kuririn. You better win.

Good luck!

You can do it, Kuririn!

Don't let your guard down!

As you know, Kuririn is a student of the Turtle Hermit,

and Chiaotzu is a student of his rival, the Crane Hermit!

This is yet another battle between the two schools!

Calling that bald oaf my rival...

Hilarious!

Who're you to talk? Aren't you bald under that hat too?!

Where were you, Oolong?

Oh, nowhere.

Here.

What are we supposed to do with these?

You hold these and raise your legs really high!

It's for Kuririn. Let's cheer!

Come on, you can do it, Kuririn!

Beat him up, beat him up, Kuririn!

Raise your legs and cheer him on!

Raise them as high as you can!

You can raise your legs alone!

Ow...!

That's a wonderful idea, Oolong-san!

Huh?

Try your best, Kuririn!

Yeah!

I have no idea what he's thinking...

I wish I had seen him fight during the preliminary round...

Let the match begin!

Bring it on!

What's the deal? Are you even gonna try?

He sure is strange...

What speed!

Darn it...!

He stopped in the air!

He's like a helicopter...

Kuririn...

...vanished!

Your left, Chiaotzu!

Left...?

I hold chopsticks with my right hand and the bowl with my left, so–

That's it, Kuririn! You've got him!

You're doing great!

He'll win if he forces him out of the ring!

End of the line!

Darn it, he flew into the air...!

Now I can't attack him!

That's the Crane Hermit style's signature move–

the Bukujutsu! ["Air Dance Technique"]

Oh, so you do know a thing or two...

Hey, you should be nicer to old people!

Now this is a real surprise!

Chiaotzu is able to walk freely in mid-air!

Now what?!

If I jump up and attack,

I'll fall outside the ring if he dodges!

It'd be over if a crow came and pecked at him, right?

He's not a balloon, you know!

Get ready. I'll attack you now.

W-What?!

Dodonpa!

The kid'll probably wind up just like that other guy!

So the one who scorched that guy–

That's right. It was Chiaotzu!

Someone that innocent-looking has such a horrible technique...?!

Damn it...!

Dodonpa!

What kind of technique is that?!

The Dodonpa...?!

Oh yeah!

It's the same technique that Tao Pai-Pai used...

Who did you just say uses that same technique?!

Huh?

I said it's the same technique as Tao Pai-Pai the assassin,

who I got rid of!

Got rid of?! Nonsense!

It's not nonsense!

What's the big deal?!

Tao Pai-Pai-sama...

When was this?!

About three and a half years ago, I think...

Insolent little brat!

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry! Forgive me!

Please! I beg of you!

I'll never do anything bad ever again!

I beg you! Forgive me! Please?

I don't know what to think...

Farewell!

The invincible Tao Pai-Pai-sama...

Beaten by this boy? That's absurd!

You still don't believe me?!

What's with that big jerk? He's weird.

Hey...

Did you really kill Tao Pai-Pai?

What, you don't believe me either?!

I did. But he was really strong, so it was hard.

This is unbelievable...!

Tao Pai-Pai was the world's greatest assassin!

Goku.

Tao Pai-Pai was the Crane Hermit's younger brother!

Does that mean they were related?

They don't look like each other at all...

Come to think of it, the Turtle Hermit and Uranai Baba

don't look alike either.

Stop it! Kuririn's going to be killed!

Yes. If you value his life,

then you'll tell him to run out of the ring and forfeit the match!

Kuririn! That's enough!

He'd be ashamed if he gave up now!

You don't care if Kuririn gets himself killed?!

I do, but...

Oh, no!

Kuririn! Lose and you'll have hell to pay!

I'm not with her.

You can do it, Kuririn!

He has nowhere to run!

Kuririn! You're at the edge of the ring!

Good one, Kuririn!

I'm a goner if this keeps up!

What do I do?!

Let me think...

Alright, then!

Let me think...!

Right! Left! Right! Left!

What's going on?

Right... Left... Chopsticks...

Here goes nothing!

That's it, Kuririn!

It's all over!

Darn it...!

Crane Hermit-sama!

I have news!

What is it?! The fight's just getting good!

Do you suppose something happened?

Dang it! If only I could use the Kamehameha...!

Yamcha-san could do it– maybe I can too!

My only choice is to give it a try!

I'll do a practice one...

Let's see... Kamehameha...!

It worked!

What?!

One of the Turtle Hermit's students killed Pai-Pai?!

Naturally, I think it was because of dumb luck, not skill!

Obviously!

There's no other way he could've been done in!

I thought it was strange that he hadn't visited in three years!

Damn them...!

Chiaotzu! You've had enough playtime!

Kill him!

Hey, old man!

Just a minute ago you wanted Kuririn to give up! What's the deal?!

The situation has changed ever so slightly!

Old farts are wishy-washy, that's all!

Shut up before I make some roasted pork!

We'll make them pay! Just you watch!

This is bad.

He intends to kill you both in the ring,

since you're the Turtle Hermit's students!

Is it because I killed his brother?

Indeed.

Time for a super strong Dodonpa!

Kame...

Kuririn! He can't seriously be–

The Kamehameha?

It won't work! A hastily acquired Kamehameha

is no match against a Dodonpa!

Dodonpa versus Kamehameha.

The perilous and heroic battle between Kuririn and Chiaotzu has begun.

But neither know that the fight is now about avenging Tao Pai-Pai,

the Crane Hermit's younger brother!

Come on, fantasy,

Oide fantajii

love, and mystery

I’ll give you a bright shining dream for your beating heart!

Tokimeku mune ni

kira-kira hikatta yume o ageru yo

Heya! I'm Goku!

Next time you'll be able to

an incredible fight between Kuririn and Chiaotzu!

But the rub's that it's Chiaotzu who's using loads of strange techniques.

If things go on like this Kuririn will lose.

Hang in there, Kuririn!

"A Comeback!! Kuririn's Gr-eight Strategy!"

Don't miss it!
