Summary:

Preliminary Rounds Survival
People now start to draw numbers for their spot in the preliminary rounds. Krillin is number 71 in the second block, last part, Goku is in the first block, the second block too, and Yamcha is in the first block, but the first part. Goku asks Jackie Chun where he's at, in which he reveals to be number 178 in the fourth block. Krillin is excited to hear that, since that means they will all go to the finals if it works out right. The head referee then starts to announce the rules and regulations of the Tenkaichi Budoukai, including that eight people will go to the finals, out of 182. They will be chosen out of the preliminary rounds, which they will do now. The fights will be one on one with a referee judging the fight the whole time. The rules are, no hitting below the belt, no crying, no weapons and no protective head gear. If you go unconscious, fall out of the ring, or kill someone, you lose. After hearing that, Goku waves good-bye to Krillin, saying good luck.

At the first block, the referee asks for the first number and the second number come up to start the rounds. Yamcha steps on the platform, saying that this will be easy. Goku wishes Yamcha good luck, while the fighter of Yamcha hopes that he loses horribly. The referee announces the start of the match, making both fighters go into fighting stances. Yamcha's opponent then goes in for the attack, but Yamcha sees the kick a mile away. Yamcha goes in for the counterattack, hitting his fighter in the chin, knocking him out. Everyone is impressed, except for Goku. The referee announces that number two is the winner by knockout! Goku tells Yamcha that he really has improved, creating a huge smile on Yamcha's face. Yamcha then points to Krillin, telling Goku that he's up now. Goku sees him, saying he'll do well. A huge fighter looms over Krillin, making Krillin act very politely, saying that may the best man win. The fighter smiles, saying he doesn't hurt the little baby too badly! Krillin switches moods, asking if he was calling him a baby? The giant throws his hand down to grab Krillin, saying that he will crush him! Krillin grabs his finger and changes his body weight to make the huge man go over his head. The man doesn't see it coming and flies quickly into the wall, knocking him out!

Goku tells Krillin that he has improved successfully after three years of training! Krillin agrees boastfully, saying that it's only natural, since trained so hard. Tenshinhan then comes up, asking if they actually made it past their first round? Yamcha asks what that's supposed to mean? Goku is confused, asking what he means? Krillin tells him that they did and they will win in the finals, so he had better watch out! He tells him that Tsurusennin's team is going down! Tenshinhan tells him to calm down, saying that this is only the preliminary rounds. If they actually meet later, then he will show no mercy and win easily. Tenshinhan smirks, saying that of that eight people, he will go the finals, but he doesn't know about them. Yamcha flicks him off, telling him to take his garbage elsewhere. Tenshinhan makes on more remark, saying that he's the number fighter! A referee asks for number 99 and number 100 of the third block to come forth, allowing Tenshinhan to leave, saying that he hopes they will meet so he can beat them badly. Yamcha tells him that they will win, while an angry Krillin is furious, seeing that that loud mouth idiot tried to do that. Krillin vows that he will not make him world champion! However, they do want to see him fight, which Krillin offers to his friends, so they can see if their "friend" is actually good.

Goku tells him that he is and will win easily. Krillin asks if that's true, but will be answered shortly, since the referee has announced Tenshinhan's fight to go! Tenshinhan is fighting a sumo wrestler, who goes in for the first attack. Tenshinhan smiles, while getting into a fighting stance. Before the wrestler can even touch Tenshinhan, Ten pushes air off his hands into the wrestler, making him stunned, until finally falling on the ground. Tenshinhan is walking away, even before the fighter falls, making the referee announce that number 99 is the winner by knockout! Every other fighter that has watched can't believe their eyes, seeing only air won. Yamcha tells himself that all he did was four punches, and Krillin adding that he did two kicks too. Goku is excited to see this, while Krillin asks if he really wants to go against that guy? Tenshinhan tells himself that those idiots won't even make it past the preliminary rounds, much less him.

After a while, Goku finally has to fight. Krillin and Yamcha both watch, yelling for him to win since he's been gone for so long! Another fighter, King Chapo, steps in, bowing to Goku. King Chapo tells Goku that he won't win against this great fighter. On the sidelines, people point and stare, asking if that fighter is really King Chapo? Yamcha overhears this, telling Krillin that that's King Chapo, an extremely great fighter! Krillin questions him, while Yamcha explains that he trained greatly, coming into the Tenkaichi Budoukai several times, almost becoming the winner. He's trained really hard now and is presumed to not want to lose this one! Krillin understands now, making Yamcha further explain that eve if Goku has trained this hard, he may not win. He tells Krillin that he just has no chance. The referee signals for the fight to begin, making Chapo and Goku taunt each other.
