\Even the preliminary rounds of the 23rd Martial Arts Tournament are more brutal than those of years past. Eventually eight people come out on top to advance to the final rounds: Tienshinhan, Tao Pai Pai, a strangely familiar girl, Goku, Krillin, Piccolo, Yamcha, and a bumbling man known as Hero. Everyone is worried that Tao Pai Pai will defeat Tienshinhan in the first match but Goku is certain that Tienshinhan is stronger.
