Dragonball
Episode 100: Live or Die! The Final Tactic
(original, Japanese episode)
Tenshinhan stands before Goku with 4 arms, as
everyone watches on in shock. Tenshinhan leaps into the air, and comes
back down toward Goku with a double punch from his normal arms. Bulma
covers her eyes, but Yamcha encourages her to open them. She does, and is
happy to see that Goku has blocked the attack. Tenshinhan uses his other 2
arms to hammer Goku over the head, and he drops. Goku gets up, and leaps
away, dodging another punch from Tenshinhan. Tenshinhan lunges forward and
unleashes a barrage of punches from all 4 arms, as Goku struggles to dodge it
all. KameSennin, "This is bad. It's as if Goku's fighting 2
men." Tenshinhan manages to land a punch on Goku, sending him
skidding toward the edge of the ring. He is about to fall out, but after a
small struggle, manages to climb back up. Tenshinhan rushes back in, so
Goku leaps into the air, trying a kick. Suddenly, Tenshinhan uses all 4
arms to grab onto all of Goku's appendages, rendering him helpless. Goku's
friends are all concerned. Tenshinhan head butts the helpless Goku in the
stomach. He tells Goku that he just doesn't have enough arms.
Tenshinhan continues to head butt Goku in the stomach many times, as his friends
watch on in fear. Goku chuckles, and smacks Tenshinhan in the face with
his tail. He continues to smack Tenshinhan's face around with his
tail. The whole audience laughs at the funny looking situation.
Finally, Tenshinhan lets Goku go, and he leaps away. Tenshinhan,
"Damn, I forgot the tail." Goku, "You may have 4 arms, but
I'll just fight back with 8!" Tenshinhan is shocked, and Goku starts
to concentrate deeply. Oolong hides, "This is getting pretty
creepy..." Goku suddenly seems to sprout 8 arms. Except they
are only optical illusions from moving his arms at high speed. Everyone is
in disbelief, and Bulma chants that Goku is the superior. Kuririn,
"How...did he do that...?" Goku lunges at Tenshinhan, unleashing
a barrage of "8 armed" punches, which he struggles to block.
Goku punches Tenshinhan across the face, kicks him in the chest, punches him in
the stomach, then kicks him into the air. Tenshinhan lands, and they
attack each other again. Goku kicks Tenshinhan hard in the gut, while at
the same time, Tenshinhan elbows Goku hard in the face. They both drop to
the ground, unconscious. The 10 count starts. Goku's friends yell
for him to get up. KameSennin thinks to himself that this is just like the
last tournament. He has a flashback of his fight with Goku at the 21st
Tenkaichi Budokai, when they both knocked each other out with kicks. Lunch
(evil form) yells for Goku to get up, while she constantly pokes Oolong in the
nose. Just as the 10 count reaches 9, both Goku and Tenshinhan get
up. Goku's friends cheer, and Lunch keeps pounding Oolong on the
head. The announcer tells them to resume the match. Goku and
Tenshinhan prepare to continue, both starting to show fatigue. KameSennin,
"This is truly an amazing battle." Tenshinhan rushes at Goku,
thrusting his extra arms forward, but Goku ducks and rushes behind him.
Goku leaps in and kicks Tenshinhan in the back of the leg, sending him to the
ground in pain. Goku grabs both of Tenshinhan's legs in a grapple hold,
and starts pulling them back. Tenshinhan is in much pain, and uses his
extra arms to grab Goku by the neck. Tenshinhan chokes Goku, while Goku
continues to pull back his legs (looks like they're wrestling now). Goku's
friends are again concerned, and Lunch pounds Oolong on the head again (except
now he's wearing a helmet). Tenshinhan tells Goku to let go or die, but he
refuses. Finally, the pain is too much, and Tenshinhan's extra arms shrink
into his back once again, freeing Goku. Kuririn is confused, and
KameSennin explains that Tenshinhan lost concentration. Goku continues to
pull back Tenshinhan's legs. The announcer steps over to Tenshinhan,
telling him that he can always give up. Of course, he angrily
refuses. Chaozu offers to freeze Goku in place. Tenshinhan,
"No! I'll beat him on my own!" Tenshinhan struggles, gathering
all the strength in his legs. He finally manages to hurl Goku through a
wall. Kuririn goes to help, but KameSennin stops him. Tenshinhan
gets up, as Goku also climbs out of the rubble and steps forward. They
both compliment each other's strength. Tenshinhan, "You are truly
special. I never thought I'd have to use this next technique. You'd
better dodge this. Because if you don't, it'll kill you in one
blow." Chaozu, "Oh no! He's going to use the Kikoho!"
KameSennin, "What?!? Tenshinhan, stop it now!" Goku asks
what Kikoho is. KameSennin explains to Kuririn that Kikoho is a very
destructive blast, much stronger than KameHameHa. Its power comes from the
user's life force, usually killing them in the process. If not killing
them, it shortens their life span. He curses TsuruSennin for teaching his
student such a forbidden attack. Chaozu telepathically tells Tenshinhan
not to do this, but Tenshinhan re-assures him that he won't die. He once
again tells Goku to dodge this, and slowly floats high into the air. YET
again, he reminds Goku to dodge. Goku, "No, I don't like running
away!" KameSennin, "You fool! Do as he says!" Goku's
friends all realize that something amazing is about to happen. Kuririn,
"Why is he telling Goku to dodge it if he's risking his life to use
it?" KameSennin, "He probably plans to force Goku out of the
ring..." Goku, "Whatever the attack is, I can take
it!" Tenshinhan puts his hands together, making a triangle between
them, and starts charging up. He thinks to himself that if he destroys the whole
ring, he'll be powerless, so he must leave some strength. He finishes
charging up, and fires the Kikoho blast straight toward Goku, causing a huge
explosion. When the smoke clears, everyone is surprised to see that the
ring is gone. Goku is no where to be found. Was he killed by the
huge blast?
