1. Yamcha vs. Tien, before the battle

18 lines

After three years of training, Goku and friends once again gathered at the World Tournament. However, they were greeted by Master Roshi's rival, Master Shen, along with his disciples, Tien and Chiaotzu!

Goku, Krillin, Yamcha and Jackie Chun made it through the preliminaries, securing their spots in the main tournament. And among the final eight competitors were none other than Tien and Chiaotzu.

Tien

Amazing! The entire sluggish Turtle team survived!

The quality of competition really must be dropping here!

Yamcha

Feh! To have qualified with your kindergarten skills...

You must have had a lot of luck!

Tien

Ho ho ho.

I look forward to settling this dispute in front of the crowd.

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for your patience!

We now present the 22nd World Tournament!

Let's waste no time in starting Match 1!

Yamcha vs. Tien! Please enter!!!

Yamcha

Pretty soon I won't have to listen to your rude remarks ever again!

Tien

Indeed! I never insult those I've beaten!

Yamcha

You'll be yelling for mercy in no time at all.

Tien

Oh, really? I can't wait.

Yamcha

You won't wait long...

Presenting Match 1โ€“ Yamcha vs. Tien! Gentlemen... Begin!!!

2. Yamcha vs. Tien, after the battle

17 lines

A fierce nail-biter erupted between Yamcha and Tien! Then out of nowhere, Yamcha unleashed his Kamehameha! But Tien repelled it and launched a counterattack that knocked Yamcha unconscious. With his final blow, Tien broke his helpless opponent's leg!

Yamcha is clearly in no shape to continue the match...

Therefore, victory is awarded to Tien!

You're a bad man! Yamcha was knocked out...

And you knew it! But you still purposely...

Tien

Heh heh heh... Just be grateful that I didn't kill him.

I am quite a softie, you see.

I swear to avenge Yamcha in a match!

Tien

Ha ha ha! First, you'll have to survive your next match!

Master Shen

Heh heh heh... Well done! Now they know the terror of the Crane School!

However, they have yet to see what Tien is truly capable of...

Chiaotzu

You won!

Tien

Of course.

But the Turtle School is much better than I expected. Don't be complacent.

Of course, this Yamcha guy was probably the best Master Roshi had to offer.

So it's already plain that I'll be champion and you'll be runner up.

The 22nd World Tournament was off to a wild and chaotic start! Who would rise to the top and claim the title of the world's strongest fighter?

3. Man-Wolf vs. Jackie Chun, before the battle

14 lines

All eyes on Match 2! Jackie Chun vs. Man-Wolf!

Jackie Chun was the champion of our last tournament!

And Man-Wolf has the unique ability to transform from a wolf into a human when he sees the full moon!

Man-Wolf

Heh heh heh. You don't know how long I've waited for this chance to fight you.

I'm gonna tear you to pieces!

Jackie Chun

Why do you have such a grudge against me?

I've never even met you.

Man-Wolf

Why? Because you destroyed the moon during the last tournament, remember?

Thanks to you, I'm stuck in wolf form! How do I get girls when I look like this?

Jackie Chun

Ahhh, yes. Now I understand.

But why don't you just find yourself a nice "wolf" girl?

Man-Wolf

I HATE furry people!

Jackie Chun

Well, if you're going to be picky...

So... um... Begin!

4. Man-Wolf vs. Jackie Chun, after the battle

11 lines

Out of bounds! Victory to Jackie Chun!!!

With impressive skill, Jackie Chun ended the match in the blink of an eye! But even after his loss, Man-Wolf's rage didn't subside. Jackie Chun calmed him with a promise to turn him back into a human, and for some reason, he called Krillin up to the arena.

Man-Wolf

I'm human again...!

Jackie Chun

And you won't ever become a wolf again.

Man-Wolf

I-I'm so sorry! You really are a good man! How can I...

Jackie Chun

As long as you understand that, it's all right.

Man-Wolf

Well then, I'll see ya!

I got skirts to chase! Woohoo!!!

Something tells me he won't have much better luck now...

He was better lookin' as a wolf...

Showing the authority of the former champion, Jackie Chun stormed into the semifinals! Up next in Match 3 was Master Shen's disciple Chiaotzu vs. the "Full Moon" Krillin! It was once again a showdown between the Turtle and Crane Schools!

5. Chiaotzu vs. Krillin, before the battle

8 lines

Prepare for Match 3! Krillin vs. Chiaotzu!

Now, let the match begin!

Chiaotzu

...

Krillin (Teen)

I can't tell what this guy's thinking...

I should've paid attention to his fighting style during the preliminaries...

Chiaotzu

...

Krillin (Teen)

Huh? What?

Are you planning to fight or what?

6. Chiaotzu vs. Krillin, after the battle

14 lines

Krillin had landed a perfect Kamehameha, but even that couldn't seal the match! Barely able to stand, Chiaotzu pressed on, unleashing a strange technique as his counterattack!

Chiaotzu

Yah!

Krillin (Teen)

Oww! My stomach... Oww...! Rrrgh...

Master Shen

That's it, Chiaotzu! He's ours now!

But don't toss him out of bounds! Kill him slowly and painfully!

Chiaotzu

Yes, sir!

Ugggh...!!! Tele... Telekinesis...eh...?

Krillin (Teen)

Th-That's it! His power... It's coming from his spread-out palms! Which means if I can do somethin' about them...

Hey! What's 9 minus 1?

Uhhhh...

Waaaaaagh!

Out of bounds! Krillin wins!!!

Krillin (Teen)

By the way... it's 8!

Krillin had prevented Chiaotzu from using Telekinesis by making him solve math with his hands! A smart move for a brilliant win! At last, it was Goku's turn to fight!

7. Pamput vs. Goku, before the battle

8 lines

The fierce battles of the World Tournament raged on! It was time for the fourth match, where Goku will have his turn.

Pamput has won championships in the other two internationally recognized martial arts tournaments!

A championship here would mean a worldwide triple crown!

Krillin (Teen)

Don't you lose, Goku!

Nope!

Pamput

30 seconds. That's how long it will take for me to win this.

Now, the match we've all been waiting for! Who will come out on top? Will it be Pamput or Goku?

Gentlemen, please begin!

8. Pamput vs. Goku, after the battle

21 lines
Pamput

Ahhh... N-No...

H-He's unconscious! The winner is...Goku!

Tien

That brat is no ordinary fighter...

Master Shen

Perhaps he truly did defeat my brother...

Tien

This tournament has finally begun to get interesting...

Krillin (Teen)

Goku, that was awesome!

Heh heh heh...

Krillin (Teen)

But you know, I figured you'd win!

This guy had a great record, but he didn't look that impressive out there!

Maybe he wasn't feeling good today.

Jackie Chun

Ho ho ho... That's not it.

Krillin (Teen)

Huh?

Jackie Chun

Pamput truly is a formidable martial artist... but only by normal standards.

Which is why he didn't seem terribly impressive in your eyes.

Huh?

Jackie Chun

In other words, you've both gained strength beyond the norm.

Krillin (Teen)

But Yamcha has about the same level of skill as I do, and he lost.

And I had a tough time against that shrimp, too.

Jackie Chun

That cannot be helped.

Your opponents were also super martial artists with strength beyond the norm.

With a blindingly fast attack, Goku clinched the fourth match in an instant! With that, the four semifinalists were decided! Who would come out on top at the 22nd World Tournament?

9. Tien vs. Jackie Chun, before the battle

19 lines

It was time for the semifinals of the 22nd World Tournament, where only the best of the best collide! The first match was Tien vs. Jackie Chun!

Now then, we have a particularly interesting match in store!

It's Jackie Chun, champion of the last tournament, versus Tien, who has displayed overwhelming power!

This is one match not to be missed!

Krillin (Teen)

Heh heh! There's no way that chump can beat ol' Jackie!

He'll avenge Yamcha!

I don't know...

Krillin (Teen)

Huh? What do you mean?

That Tien guy is pretty strong...

I bet either of them could win.

Krillin (Teen)

R-Really?

Now, let the match begin!

Jackie Chun

Why don't you dedicate your strength for good?

Why have you turned to evil? Your power cries out in shame! Break your ties with Master Shen!

Tien

What on earth are you...?

Jackie Chun

Escape from the seductive path of shadows!

Run in a world warm with sunlight!

Tien

What kind of crap is that?

I'll make you eat those words!

10. Tien vs. Jackie Chun, after the battle

12 lines
Jackie Chun

You're even better than I thought you were...

I'm so happy, I'm shivering! Walk the path of light and become a hero!

Tien

What?! You're still harping on that?

Jackie Chun

I've been waiting for fine young fighters like you to come along.

Now I can go back to happy retirement again!

And with those words, Jackie Chun purposely lost the match by jumping out of bounds...

O-Out of bounds! Tien has won!

Tien

Why? Why did you lose on purpose?

Master Shen

Feh! It's obvious... He was too ashamed to fight for real and lose! That coward!

Tien

That's not it... He hadn't even unleashed his full power yet...

...

Jackie Chun

Yes...this up and coming generation is quite something.

11. Krillin vs. Goku, before the battle

38 lines

Disguised as Jackie Chun, Master Roshi purposely lost by a ring-out, sending Tien to the finals. After the match, Tien approached him, determined to learn his true intentions.

Tien

I don't get it!

Master Roshi

Huh?

Tien

Why would you, of all people, go through the trouble of disguising yourself just to enter this tournament?

Master Roshi

Oh, it's simple, really.

It's for the sake of my disciples.

Let's say one of them wins the World Tournament. He'll take on that "I'm the best in the world" attitude and stop working to improve. It's a dangerous trap for youngsters.

Tien

Of course... Now I understand.

After learning how powerful I am, you realized your disciples didn't stand a chance. So you deliberately lost to me.

Master Roshi

...

Tien

However, even if you had continued to fight, I still would have won.

Master Roshi

You've got it wrong.

Tien

What?

Master Roshi

I forfeited when I realized that none of my disciples would turn into slackers just because they won this tournament.

I'm confident that I'm not needed anymore.

Tien

...

Master Roshi

And you're no slacker, either, son.

You're just not cut out to be evil.

Wh-What?!

Master Roshi

Otherwise, you wouldn't have gone out of your way to ask me these things.

Goodbye...

Tien

Bah! Let me tell you something!

My goal is to become the world's greatest assassin! Just like Mercenary Tao!

Master Roshi

Oh. Well, well.... This much of what you said might be true...

If we had continued to fight, I probably would have lost.

Tien

Huh...?!

Master Roshi

I'll be watching from the audience.

Good luck to you! I'm expecting a good match.

D-Does he have no pride at all?

T-To have acknowledged his own probable defeat...

Meanwhile, the second match of the semifinals was about to begin. It was Krillin vs. Goku, a Turtle School showdown!

Come to think of it, this is the first time we're facing each other in an official fight!

Krillin (Teen)

...

I'm totally pumped!

I'm gonna give it my best shot, you do too, ok, Krillin?

Krillin (Teen)

R-Right...

Goku! If you fight me with less than full strength, I'll never forgive you!!!

Goku (Kid)

Like you really had to tell me that!

12. Krillin vs. Goku, after the battle

13 lines

Facing Goku, who had grown unbelievably strong over the past three years, Krillin realized he didn't stand a chance in a straight-forward fight. So, switching tactics, he used his wits instead. Firing off a Kamehameha as a decoy, Krillin managed to grab hold of Goku's weak spot, his tail! However...

Hee hee hee!

Sorry to disappoint you!

Krillin (Teen)

B-But...I don't understand!

I thought if your tail got squeezed, you'd lose all your strength!

I trained my tail as hard as I could for three years!

Now I'm perfectly fine when someone grabs it!

Krillin (Teen)

No way...

It was some seriously tough training!

Goku overcame his weakness and became even stronger! After winning the match by knocking Krillin off the stage, he advanced to the finals of the 22nd World Tournament.

Wh-What an unbelievable lad... I see now how he could have been strong enough to defeat Tao...

Every time I see him, he's matured significantly. I have a feeling he may have even passed me already.

And with that, the two finalists were set! Who would claim victory at the 22nd World Tournament? Goku from the Turtle School or Tien from the Crane School?

13. Tien vs. Goku, before the battle

6 lines

Everyone! It's time to decide the strongest martial artist in the world!

We now present the championship round!

Krillin (Teen)

Goku! Don't you dare lose to that jerk!

Okay!

Tien

Heh heh heh... I might just possibly be able to have an enjoyable fight.

It was the long-awaited clash between Goku and Tien! The stage was set for the ultimate battle to decide who was the world's strongest martial artist!

14. Tien vs. Goku, after the battle

15 lines

Wow! You really are strong!

I'm impressed!

Tien

That's my line.

Your resilience is exasperating.

I'll bet you wouldn't die even if I hit you full power! I think I'll go all out!

Tien

Don't make me laugh!

I know you've been going all out already.

Yup, at my "tournament level" power.

Tien

What?!

But since it seems like you're trying to kill me...

I'll use my "battle level" power!

Tien

"Battle level"...? You're telling me you have a whole other level of power...?

Heh! Spare me the childish fantasies!

Goku (Kid)

Here I come! It's combat time!

Tien

I'm breathless with anticipation. Bring it on!

15. Clash! Young Martial Artists!, before the battle

6 lines

Goku vs. Tien was on! It was a furious clash of incredible techniques worthy of the final match! After experiencing Tien's true power firsthand, Goku finally unleashed his true strength and attacked with his full combat power!

Tien

Heh heh... I-I'm so happy! I never knew there was someone like you out there...

I've never felt so... alive!

Goku (Kid)

You're a force to be reckoned with! I wouldn't have it any other way!

Tien

Oh, what a sweet victory this will be!

Goku (Kid)

You think so, don't you?

16. Clash! Young Martial Artists!, after the battle

48 lines

Tien's ultimate move, Tri-Beam, obliterated the arena! Goku survived by leaping into the air in the nick of time, but just as Tien intended, the match would now continue without a stage!

Tien

Amazing!

I can't believe you jumped so high this fast!

That was awesome...!

You were right! If I hadn't dodged, I could totally have been killed!

Tien

With no more arena, the entire ground below is all out of bounds!

Whoever touches the ground first loses the tournament!

...

Tien

And since I can hover freely with my Flying Technique...

The outcome is foreordained!

Do you want to face my last attack?

Tien

What?

I'm gonna gamble all my remaining strength!!!

Goku staked everything he had on one last Kamehameha, blasting it backward! His desperate ploy sent him hurtling into Tien. Both fighters fell to the ground, but by a hair's breadth, Goku touched the ground first. And so the 22nd World Tournament ended with Tien's victory!

Krillin (Teen)

Goku, take my uniform. Yours is all torn.

Thanks!

Krillin (Teen)

Man... That was so close...

Whatever. Losing close is still losing.

Tien

You sure you don't want half of the prize money?

Nah! I'm good!

I don't understand how to use money anyhow.

Tien

But you do have a right to it, you know?

I only won by dumb luck. If we're talking about strength... I lost...

Master Roshi

Ha ha ha. Luck is a part of one's strength, you know.

Besides which, Goku learned a lot by fighting someone like you.

Yup! Sure did!

Master Roshi

How about if we all go out to dinner?

Goku, you and Tien need to eat your fill and replenish your strength.

Tien

Well, if that's the way you want it, at least let me pay for dinner.

Krillin (Teen)

Heh heh heh... I'd think twice if I were you.

You don't know how much someone here can eat!

Oh, shoot!

I forgot Grampa's Dragon Ball and my Power Pole!

Krillin (Teen)

You must be exhausted.

Let me go get 'em for you.

Thanks! Sorry about that!

Master Roshi

By the way, what are the two of you planning to do from now on?

If you'd like, how about coming back with me? We'd welcome you with open arms.

Tien

I am truly grateful for your generosity, but we're still Master Shen's disciples even though we betrayed him.

We can't simply stroll nonchalantly to your side.

Master Roshi

...

Tien

Chiaotzu and I will find somewhere new to settle.

Master Roshi

I see...

Aarrgh!!!

Master Roshi

What was that?!

It's Krillin's voice!

What happened, Krillin?

The tournament was over, but so much for having time to relax... Krillin's sudden, bloodcurdling scream shattered the calm, filling the air with tension and dread! What exactly happened to him?
