Tenshinhan vs Taopaipai: ex-master and ex-pupil duel, and it becomes apparent that Ten has all but surpassed the cyborg. Even with his cybernetics, Taopaipai can’t touch the triclops.

Son Goku vs Tenshinhan: the rematch begins with the two fighters apparently even. But Roshi notes that Goku is barely winded by their clash, while Ten is breathing heavily. Ten concedes that Goku has improved, but still lacks the speed to win. Agreeing, Goku takes off his boots, wrist bands, and undershirt. Much to everyone’s shock, these items are immensely heavy! Now lighter, Goku can easily outrun Tenshinhan, but the triclopse is not ready to lose yet. He has one more technique to reveal; Splitting into four bodies! At first, it seems that Goku will be overwhelmed by the numbers, but the fighter reveals that Tenshinhan’s style has two flaws. He demonstrates the first weakness by Performing the Taiyo-ken, blinding Ten four times over- He relied too much on his vision, and those three eyes Are too good. The second weakness is is that the four bodies only have a quarter of Tenshinhan’s original strength. Goku defeats Ten by ring out.
"Shen" vs “Demon Junior”: In disguise, God and the Demon King square off. Although they appear to be equal, God is worried about Piccolo’s strength, even taking in account the limitations of his borrowed body. Piccolo wonders about ‘borrowed’, leading Shen to berate him in a secret language for reading his mind. The audience becomes confused when “Shen” and “Demon Junior” start having a shouting match in code. God declares his intent to Defeat piccolo but piccolo points out that their lives are connected, and in horror wonders if God will kill himself. But God has an alternative. He pulls out a small bottle, and begins to perform the Mafuba! But, Piccolo reverses the move, and begins to seal away God. Before he can be trapped, God frees the human he possessed, and begs Goku to finish Piccolo.
Once he awakens, Shen (or the person God used to create that identity), runs away from the arena, unable to understand how he got there. Meanwhile, Kuririn, Yamcha, Ten, Chichi and Master Roshi confront Goku over what just happened. Goku fills them in on God, Piccolo, and their history. They determine that Piccolo came to the tournament to confront Goku because the reborn Demon King fears the Goku in some way. Piccolo appears to confirm, in his arrogant way, that Goku DOES pose a threat to his conquest. Goku demands Piccolo hand over the bottle holding God, but Piccolo just swallows it. He gloats that Goku could kill him to retrieve the bottle, but that would kill God as well!

Goku vs “Demon Junior”: at first, both warriors appear equally matched, trading blows out speeds that are almost impossible to keep up with. Goku at one point shoots a Kamehameha out from his feet to speed up his punch. After a near ring-out, Goku decides to use hos trump card- The SUPER Kamehameha! However, wiping out Piccolo will kill God, but Kuririn assures Goku that they can bring God back with the Dragon Balls. One massive beam later, Piccolo is...still there, only his hat and good temper are gone. The people see his anttena, and Piccolo reveals to all his true identity. Everyone except for Goku’s friends and the announcer flees. The fight resumes, and Piccolo enlarges himself to intimidate Goku. However, Goku continues to fight back, and taunts that Piccolo can’t get any bigger.
Piccolo however can and does increase in size, becoming absolutely gigantic. But now he’s big enough for Goku to go into his mouth and retrieve God’s jar! With God free, Goku goes all out on Piccolo, even undeterred when Piccolo tries to unleash an explosion. But when Piccolo nearly lands a punch, God jumps in to block it, wanting to help Goku. Goku, however, insists that God not interfere with the match, and lets Piccolo have a free punch. While a bit shocked that Goku’s still thinking about the tournament, his friends accept that this is just who Son Goku is, and request that God let Goku have his way. The match resumes, and Goku manages to deliver a beat down that knocks Piccolo out. The Announcer does the count, but before he reaches ten, Piccolo blasts Goku with a sneak attack, seriously wounding him! Following up by breaking Goku’s limbs in a deliberate echo of King Piccolo’s actions, Piccolo takes to the sky so as to obliterate his enemy completely. When the dust clears, Goku is nowhere to be found...but before Piccolo can turn his muderous eyes towards the rest, Kuririn notices something heading at them. It’s Goku! Having used Buku Jutsu to pull his battered body away from Piccolo’s blast, the wounded warrior plummets down to ram into the demon. Knocked unconcious, Piccolo lands outside the ring, making Goku the winner of the 23rd Tenka’ichi Budokai!
Yajirobe reveals himself to give Goku a Senzu Bean, allowing the hero to celebrate his win in full health. However, he notices God about to finishes Piccolo off and stops him, citing their linked lives. God insists that he can be revived by the Dragon Balls, but Goku has realized that the Dragon Balls are also linked God’s life, just as Piccolo is. God admits that he feels he doesn’t deserve to live for bringing Piccolo into the world. But Roshi points put that by creating the Dragon Balls, God created the means to defeat Piccolo; Bulma’s original search for the Dragon Balls caused her to meet Goku and set him on his journey to become the hero he is now. As God considers this, Goku unthinkably gives Piccolo a Senzu Bean! While this is in part because of his linked life with God, Goku also wants to have another match with Piccolo someday. Piccolo takes off swearing vengeance, while Goku looks forward to their next encounter. God decides that Goku should become his successor, but Goku declines. God’s palace was too boring for him. Taking Chichi, he boards the Kinto’un and flies off to live happily ever after.

Yajirobe takes Goku back to Karin’s sanctuary, and there they discuss on what to do next. While Piccolo is destroyed, his victims are still dead, and no Dragon God to revive them. Yajirobe, while sympathetic, tries to tell Goku that the death of a loved one is just something everyone has to deal with. However, Karin worries that those killed by demons will never pass on to the afterlife.
And then Karin gets an idea. There IS one person who can fix things...God. Goku is confused and Yajirobe skeptical, so Karin explains. God lives in a palace that floats high above the Sanctuary. Kinto’un can’t reach it, and anyone trying to use a rocket would be repelled by a mysterious force. The only way up is...the Nyo’bo, Goku’s extending staff! It had originally belonged to Karin, but he gave it to the Muten Roshi, who in turn passed it down to Gohan, Goku’s adoptive grandfather. After a brief sojourn back to the surface to retrieve it, Goku prepares to ascend to God’s palace. Before leaving, Karin gives Goku two things; first is a bell signifying him as Karin chosen, and second is advice not to be shocked by God’s face. Apparently, it’s one Goku knows quite well...
Goku stretched the pole to its maximum, and reaches God’s floating castle. There, he meets God’s attendent, a genie named Mr. Popo. Mr. Popo acknowledges that Goku has Karin’s approval, but explains that Goku must pass one more test; a match against Mr. Popo in combat. Goku tries his best, but cant overcome Popo’s discipline. Not to be deterred, Goku decides to train until he can become strong enough to prevail. Approving of Goku’s determination, God himself decides to come out and face Goku. When he comes out, Goku is shocked to see none other than Piccolo!
After God rebuffs Goku’s attack, He explains. He was once the student of the previous God, but before he could take the mantle, he had to purify himself of the latent evil lurking within him. Expelling that evil resulted in Demon King Piccolo being born, which is why they look alike. God reveals that while he will restore the Dragon Balls so Piccolo’s victims can be revived, there is a condition; that Goku will stay in the palace and train under him. Before dying, Piccolo created one last spawn, basically a clone of himself, containing all if his memories. This new Piccolo will appear at the next Budokai to kill Goku, and so Goku must prepare himself until then. Goku agrees, and God reenergizes the Dragon Balls so the wish can be used immediately. Down on Earth, Goku’s friends wish the fallen back to life, and learn from the Dragon God that Goku will return at the next tournament.
Everyone begins their training, but God doesnt tell Goku that being two halves of the same whole means that if Piccolo dies, he will die as well...
THREE YEARS LATER
The Dragon Ball gang reunites at the tournament stadium, now looking more like adults, especially Goku, who has had a visible change in height. But there are unhappy reunions as well. Taopaipai the asassin has returned, rebuilt as a cyborg. After defeating Chaozu in the preliminaries, he declares his intentions to take vengeance on Goku and Tenshinhan. But also appearing is Piccolo’s reincarnation, entering under the name Demon Junior. Ten realizes that Junior is an actual demon, but Goku convinces him not to say anything. With Muten Roshi not entering as Jackie Chun, the finalists are Goku, Kuririn, Yamcha, Tenshinhan, Taopaipai, Junior, and...
An unnamed woman about Goku’s age. She seems to be interested in Goku, but becomes angry when asks for her name.
Shen, a total goofball who apparently won his matches by accident. But Yajirobe, who entered in disguised and lost, wonders just how lucky Shen is...
QUATERFINALS
Son Goku vs Anonminous: The unnamed woman attacks relentlessly, but Goku dodges with ease. When asked why she’s so upset at him, the woman claims that Goku promised to marry her, but never showed up! Everyone is shocked to hear this, and Goku is confused, as he has no idea what marriage is! He defeats her handily, and Anonymous reveals who she is; It’s Chichi, the daughter of the Gyu’Mao, who Goku met on the first Dragon Ball hunt! Looking back, Goku realizes that he did make a promise to Chichi, but at the time assumed it was about food. Regardless, Goku decides to keep his word and agrees to marry Chichi, much to the glee if the crowd, and stupefication of his friends.
Tenshinhan vs Taopaipai: ex-master and ex-pupil duel, and it becomes apparent that Ten has all but surpassed the cyborg. Even with his cybernetics, Taopaipai can’t touch the triclops. Getting impatient, Taopaipai takes off his hand to reveal a hidden cannon in the wrist- the Super Dodon Pa! But even at pointblank, the ray doesnt do anything to Ten. Tenshinhan trounces Taopaipai handily, and sends him and Tsuru Sennin away.
Kuririn vs “Demon Junior”: Although piccolo is confident, Kuririn proves he’s more than a “Nothing” with his skill, clever tactics, and mastery of Buku Jutsu. However, Piccolo’s strength and abilities make him more than a match for the monk. As their fight takes to the air, Kuririn tries to fake Piccolo out with an After Image, Piccolo isnt fooled and hammers him down to the ring. Although he gets back up, Kiririn forfeits the match.
Yamcha vs Shen: Yamcha starts out confident that he can finally get past the quarterfinals, but finds himself unable to overcome Shen’s clumsiness. Soon, Shen drops the act and begins wiping the floor with Yamcha, chiding him for making assumptions. Yamcha tries using s mentally directed Chi ball, but still loses. However, Shen notes that he’s damaged the body he was borrowing...
Goku makes an astonishing connection. As “Shen” is chinese for “God”, Shen must be God incognito! After the match, Goku confronts “Shen”, and God explains that he came because He feels Goku cannot defeat Piccolo; Mr. Popo told Goku about God and the Demon King’s connected lifespans, and now Goku won’t be able to fight with all his might. Goku insists that he can beat Piccolo without killing them, but God has other plans...
SEMIFINALS
Son Goku vs Tenshinhan: the rematch begins with the two fighters apparently even. But Roshi notes that Goku is barely winded by their clash, while Ten is breathing heavily. Ten concedes that Goku has improved, but still lacks the speed to win. Agreeing, Goku takes off his boots, wrist bands, and undershirt. Much to everyone’s shock, these items are immensely heavy! Now lighter, Goku can easily outrun Tenshinhan, but the triclopse is not ready to lose yet. He has one more technique to reveal; Splitting into four bodies! At first, it seems that Goku will be overwhelmed by the numbers, but the fighter reveals that Tenshinhan’s style has two flaws. He demonstrates the first weakness by Performing the Taiyo-ken, blinding Ten four times over- He relied too much on his vision, and those three eyes Are too good. The second weakness is is that the four bodies only have a quarter of Tenshinhan’s original strength. Goku defeats Ten by ring out.
‘Shen’ vs “Demon Junior”: In disguise, God and the Demon King square off. Although they appear to be equal, God is worried about Piccolo’s strength, even taking in account the limitations of his borrowed body. Piccolo wonders about ‘borrowed’, leading Shen to berate him in a secret language for reading his mind. The audience becomes confused when “Shen” and “Demon Junior” start having a shouting match in code. God declares his intent to Defeat piccolo but piccolo points out that their lives are connected, and in horror wonders if God will kill himself. But God has an alternative. He pulls out a small bottle, and begins to perform the Mafuba! But, Piccolo reverses the move, and begins to seal away God. Before he can be trapped, God frees the human he possessed, and begs Goku to finish Piccolo.
Once he awakens, Shen (or the person God used to create that identity), runs away from the arena, unable to understand how he got there. Meanwhile, Kuririn, Yamcha, Ten, Chichi and Master Roshi confront Goku over what just happened. Goku fills them in on God, Piccolo, and their history. They determine that Piccolo came to the tournament to confront Goku because the reborn Demon King fears the Goku in some way. Piccolo appears to confirm, in his arrogant way, that Goku DOES pose a threat to his conquest. Goku demands Piccolo hand over the bottle holding God, but Piccolo just swallows it. He gloats that Goku could kill him to retrieve the bottle, but that would kill God as well!
FINAL MATCH
Goku vs “Demon Junior”: at first, both warriors appear equally matched, trading blows out speeds that are almost impossible to keep up with. Goku at one point shoots a Kamehameha out from his feet to speed up his punch. After a near ring-out, Goku decides to use hos trump card- The SUPER Kamehameha! However, wiping out Piccolo will kill God, but Kuririn assures Goku that they can bring God back with the Dragon Balls. One massive beam later, Piccolo is...still there, only his hat and good temper are gone. The people see his anttena, and Piccolo reveals to all his true identity. Everyone except for Goku’s friends and the announcer flees. The fight resumes, and Piccolo enlarges himself to intimidate Goku. However, Goku continues to fight back, and taunts that Piccolo can’t get any bigger.
Piccolo however can and does increase in size, becoming absolutely gigantic. But now he’s big enough for Goku to go into his mouth and retrieve God’s jar! With God free, Goku goes all out on Piccolo, even undeterred when Piccolo tries to unleash an explosion. But when Piccolo nearly lands a punch, God jumps in to block it, wanting to help Goku. Goku, however, insists that God not interfere with the match, and lets Piccolo have a free punch. While a bit shocked that Goku’s still thinking about the tournament, his friends accept that this is just who Son Goku is, and request that God let Goku have his way. The match resumes, and Goku manages to deliver a beat down that knocks Piccolo out. The Announcer does the count, but before he reaches ten, Piccolo blasts Goku with a sneak attack, seriously wounding him! Following up by breaking Goku’s limbs in a deliberate echo of King Piccolo’s actions, Piccolo takes to the sky so as to obliterate his enemy completely. When the dust clears, Goku is nowhere to be found...but before Piccolo can turn his muderous eyes towards the rest, Kuririn notices something heading at them. It’s Goku! Having used Buku Jutsu to pull his battered body away from Piccolo’s blast, the wounded warrior plummets down to ram into the demon. Knocked unconcious, Piccolo lands outside the ring, making Goku the winner of the 23rd Tenka’ichi Budokai!
Yajirobe reveals himself to give Goku a Senzu Bean, allowing the hero to celebrate his win in full health. However, he notices God about to finishes Piccolo off and stops him, citing their linked lives. God insists that he can be revived by the Dragon Balls, but Goku has realized that the Dragon Balls are also linked God’s life, just as Piccolo is. God admits that he feels he doesn’t deserve to live for bringing Piccolo into the world. But Roshi points put that by creating the Dragon Balls, God created the means to defeat Piccolo; Bulma’s original search for the Dragon Balls caused her to meet Goku and set him on his journey to become the hero he is now. As God considers this, Goku unthinkably gives Piccolo a Senzu Bean! While this is in part because of his linked life with God, Goku also wants to have another match with Piccolo someday. Piccolo takes off swearing vengeance, while Goku looks forward to their next encounter. God decides that Goku should become his successor, but Goku declines. God’s palace was too boring for him. Taking Chichi, he boards the Kinto’un and flies off to live happily ever after.
-->'''Muten Roshi:''' No, no, this isn't the end! Not by a long shot!
