Dragonball
Episode 87: Yamucha Vs. Tienshinhan
(original, Japanese episode)
The eight finalists all warm up inside the
Contestant Waiting Room. Kuririn hopes they don't draw numbers that force
them to fight each other, and Yamcha agrees. Tenshinhan steps in, "Hmph.
You all made it to the Final Rounds? Your opponents in the Preliminaries
must have been scum to lose to the likes of you." Yamcha, "You
must have been pretty lucky to advance yourself." Tenshinhan
threatens to trash Yamcha in front of all his friends. Kuririn is angered,
but surprised when he sees that Chaozu has also advanced.
Outside, Oolong and Puar search for KameSennin. Oolong steps into a
restroom, and opens each restroom stall, each with a man inside. One of
the stalls he opens includes a woman, who angrily kicks him out of the restroom.
Oolong realizes that he entered the Women's Restroom by mistake. Soon,
Oolong and Puar have returned to the audience. Bulma asks Oolong why he
went into the Women's Restroom, and Oolong replies that he was trying so hard to
find KameSennin and had made a mistake. Bulma doesn't believe this, and
calls him nasty. Lunch (good form) wonders where KameSennin can be.
TsuruSennin steps in, saying KameSennin doesn't want to see his students lose.
Bulma, "Well you must want to see YOUR students lose!" Oolong
gives up on searching for
KameSennin, and TsuruSennin offers to help them search.
Back in the Contestant Waiting Room, Jackie Chun thinks to himself that
Tenshinhan and Chaozu are both terrible disciples, and TsuruSennin taught them
badly. The announcer (the one we all know with the sunglasses) tells the
fighters to gather. Goku greets the announcer, who tells him not to
destroy the stadium this time. The announcer tells the fighters to pick
their number when their name is called, to determine who fights whom.
Jackie Chun is called up first. Tenshinhan tells Chaozu to give Jackie a
moderate skilled opponent, since he is the previous champion. One of the
finalists, Man Wolf is growling at Jackie. Tenshinhan asks if he has
anything against Jackie, but Man Wolf just tells him to shut up.
Tenshinhan tells Chaozu to make Jackie fight Man Wolf. Jackie Chun draws 4.
Yamcha is called up next, and Tenshinhan tells Chaozu that he wants to fight
that one. Chaozu telepathically switches around the numbers, causing
Yamcha to pick #1. Another finalist called Panputto is called up next (he looks
kind of like Gohan's evil tutor from the episode when Cyborg Freeza came, except
without glasses and he's a fighter). Chaozu switches the numbers around,
and Panputto gets #7. Next, Tenshinhan is called up. Chaozu switches
the numbers again, and Tenshinhan gets #2. Yamcha says it is too bad
Tenshinhan will lose in the first match, and Tenshinhan returns the insult.
Kuririn is next called up, and Chaozu telepathically makes him pick #6.
Next, the announcer calls up Man Wolf, calling him Wolf Man. Man Wolf
corrects the announcer, explaining that the Wolf Man turns into a wolf at the
full moon, while the Man Wolf turns into a man at the full moon. Kuririn
wonders what the difference is. Man Wolf walks past Jackie and growls at him.
Jackie wonders what his problem is. Chaozu switches around the numbers, and Man
Wolf gets #3. He laughs happily. Kuririn wonders why he is so happy
about fighting Jackie Chun. Jackie hopes that Man Wolf isn't gay.
The announcer struggles to pronounce Chaozu's name (Gyoza?), until Chaozu
corrects him. Chaozu gets #5, paired up to fight with Kuririn.
Kuririn is relieved, having thought he would have to fight Goku. The
announcer says that only Goku is left, so he gets #8, paired up to fight with
Panputto. Goku rushes over to the box and picks his number to make sure.
Goku, "Wow! You're right! Are you magic?" Tenshinhan, "Does
KameSennin teach you bad jokes, as well?" The fights will be: Yamcha
VS Tenshinhan, Jackie Chun VS Man Wolf, Kuririn VS Chaozu, and Son Goku VS
Panputto. The announcer asks if Goku wants to eat before the fight, and he
happily agrees. Tenshinhan says Goku has no class. Kuririn,
"It's quite a coincidence that we don't have to fight each other right from
the start again." Tenshinhan, "Good job on the match ups, Chaozu."
Chaozu agrees, and telepathically floats all the numbers into the air.
Tenshinhan, "NOT NOW, YOU IDIOT!"
Back in the crowd, Bulma and the others wonder where KameSennin can be.
Puar, "And Miss Lunch got us such good seats, too..." There is a
flashback of evil Lunch firing off her gun to scare away other spectators.
Lunch (still in good form) is confused. Bulma tells Oolong to go search
for KameSennin again, but he refuses, since the fighting will soon start.
TsuruSennin steps in, telling them that he told the promoters to search.
Suddenly, a woman starts speaking over the loudspeaker. "Attention,
there is a lost old man. He is very bald, over 300 years old, and he's got a
dirty look on his face. Please contact us if you find him."
In the Contestant Waiting Room, Goku says that sounds like KameSennin.
Yamcha wonders if he is lost. Jackie, "That sounds nothing like
him!!"
Bulma tells TsuruSennin that was very rude to do. TsuruSennin, "If he
has any good traits, please tell me." Oolong can't think of one, and
Lunch scolds him. The announcer steps into the ring, and welcomes everyone
to the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai. The finalists all warm up inside the
waiting room. The winner of this tournament gets 500,000 zeni.
TsuruSennin tells Bulma and the others that they should buy a machine to heal
injuries, which just annoys them. The announcer explains that if you fall
out of the ring, give up, or go down for a count of 10, you lose. They
will now start Match #1, Yamcha VS Tenshinhan. Yamcha, "Now I no
longer have to listen to you." Tenshinhan, "Why, because you'll
be dead?" They both step into the ring. The announcer explains
that Yamcha is a disciple of KameSennin, and 3 of KameSennin's students have
made it to the Final Rounds. Goku says that KameSennin must be very
special. The announcer explains that Tenshinhan is the disciple of
KameSennin's archrival, TsuruSennin. 2 of TsuruSennin's students have made
it to the Final Rounds. Chaozu calls Kuririn baldy again, angering him.
TsuruSennin, "How dare they compare me with that old man?"
Jackie Chun says the same thing to him self. Yamcha says he will win this
quickly, and Tenshinhan tells him just to try. The match begins. They get
into their fighting stances, and Yamcha tells Tenshinhan to get ready.
Tenshinhan vows to silence Yamcha quickly enough. Kuririn thinks this will
be an easy match for Yamcha, but Goku disagrees. He has a flashback of his
fight with Tenshinhan in the wilderness 3 years ago. Bulma and Puar cheer
for
Yamcha, also thinking he will win. Yamcha lunges at Tenshinhan and throws
a kick, which is blocked. Tenshinhan punches, but Yamcha leaps away.
Tenshinhan unleashes a barrage of punches, which Yamcha manages to block and
dodge. Tenshinhan kicks, but Yamcha leaps into the sky. Yamcha comes back
down with a kick, which Tenshinhan blocks, and Yamcha flips back. Tenshinhan
lunges at Yamcha and leaps behind him. Yamcha tries an elbow, which Tenshinhan
blocks. Yamcha dodges a barrage of punches, and pummels Tenshinhan.
Tenshinhan manages to duck under a punch, and throws his own punch, but Yamcha
dodges. Yamcha elbows Tenshinhan across the face. Yamcha unleashes a
barrage of punches, which Tenshinhan dodges. Yamcha dodges a few punches,
and catches the last one. He kicks Tenshinhan in the stomach, sending him
back a bit. Tenshinhan punches, but Yamcha catches it. Tenshinhan
knees Yamcha to the ground. He rushes in and unleashes a barrage of
punches at the downed Yamcha. Yamcha simply rolls along the ring, dodging
each punch. Yamcha kicks Tenshinhan in the chin, and gets back up.
Tenshinhan kicks Yamcha to the other end of the ring, and lunges back at him.
Yamcha leaps back into the sky, followed by Tenshinhan, and they go into a
flurry of fast paced fighting. Yamcha hammers Tenshinhan to the ground,
but they both land safely. The crowd is in shock. Goku says they are
both doing great. Yamcha thinks this is harder than he thought.
Tenshinhan thinks to himself that he never thought Yamcha could be this strong.
Yamcha declares that he is going to use Shin Rougafufuken (The New Wolf Fang
Fist), and Tenshinhan says it sounds interesting. Yamcha gets into his
wind wolf stance, and images of three wolves appear around him as he prepares to
continue the battle. Will the New Wolf Fang Fist Attack work on this
formidable opponent?
