Battle Guide-Budoukais-21st

The 21st Tenkaichi Budoukai takes place about three months after Goku thwarts Lord Pilaf's plans for world domination.

The 8 finalists were decided by an eight block preliminary battle round. Each block consisted of approximately 17 fighters. A total of 129 preliminary matches took place. The preliminary rounds were held in a room concealed from the Tenkaichi Budoukai spectators. The 8 finalists fought in an open square in the center of a small stadium.

During the first round of the finals, Kuririn is scheduled to face Bacterian, Yamucha is to face Jackie Chun, Lanfan will face Namu, and Goku will battle Giran.

The first battle pits everyone's favorite little bald monk, Kuririn, against Bacterian, who is the only contestant in the history of the Tenkaichi Budoukai who has never bathed (that's gotta smell). As the match begins, Kuririn leaps over Bacterian's first blow. Annoyed, Bacterian decides to give Kuririn a smell of his breath. While Kuririn is stunned by his breath, Bacterian unleashes what has to be the most disgusting attack in all of Dragonball. He reaches into his underwear [left], rubs his hand around a bit, and lets Kuririn have a big whiff of his crotch stench (0_o). As you might have guessed, this knocks Kuririn right out. After a short count, Kuririn manages to get back up, only to be strangled by the smelly brute. With a bit of encouragement from Goku, Kuririn is able to knock Bacterian's arms away, and give him a good kick in the kisser. Getting up, Bacterian utters "Rotten kid." and backs Kuririn in a corner. Seeing a possible rout of escape, Kuririn makes a dash under Bacterian's legs. Bacterian sees this and simply sits down as Kuririn passes under him, crushing the li'l cue ball. Bacterian proceeds to jump up and down on our bald friend, causing him much pain and agony.

After about half a dozen poundings, Kuririn manages to hold Bacterian's buttocks with his arms. With a big grin, Bacterian lets a big one rip right in Kuririn's face (yuck). Bacterian then rubs his butt in Kuririn's face for good measure, gets up and stops, smashes, and grinds his face into the ground. Bacterian backs up and exclaims "I did it!" The ref comes in for the count. From the sidelines, Goku exclaims "Kuririn, you don't have a nose, your just imagining the smell!" After Goku's little reminder, Kuririn shouts "That's right!", and leaps up as the count reaches 9. Annoyed even further, Bacterian prepares a super loogie and lets it loose on Kuririn. Goku's pal dodges, jumps into the air, and gives Bacterian a knockout kick to the face. As an afterthought, Kuririn hops onto the giant's chest, pulls down his pants, and gives him a taste of his own medicine [right].

The second battle of the first of the finals pits former desert bandit, Yamucha, against Musten Roshie in disguise, Jackie Chun (If you haven't noticed by now, Jackie Chun is a little pun on a certain Chinese martial arts star). Since Jackie defeated all of his preliminary opponents with one move, Yamucha decided he to be the aggressor and see how he counters. Yamucha leaps into the air, and comes down on Jackie with a barrage of kicks and punches, all of which Jackie dodges with seemingly little effort. "Seem to be having a hard time, aren't you?" quips Jackie. The crowd stares in disbelief, Bulma mutters "The old man is good...", and Jackie comments "You seem experienced, but you have a lot of wasted motion. What a pity..." "What did you say?" shouts Yamucha as he resumes his barrage of dodged punches. Goku comments that the old man is really strong, and the announcer excitedly shouts "Yamucha is attacking with incredible speed, but Jackie Chun is not having any problems dodging his blows! His footwork would put any young man to shame!"

Visibly angered, Yamucha says to himself "I can't believe he's making me look this silly. I'll have to reveal my Wild Wolf Technique!" The young fighter crouches back, charges Jackie, and shouts "Wild Wolf Technique!" [left] He then leaps into the air, and comes down on Jackie with a fierce blow. Jackie dodges by jumping over Yamucha once, and then back flips to his original position. "I think I'll give a present of a nice fresh breeze.." says Jackie as he powers up for his first and final attack on Yamucha. The old man put his hands together in a prayer-like fashion, channels energy into his hands, brings one hand back, and unleashes his energy as a huge gust of wind [right]. The wind is more than Yamucha can bear, and it knocks him out of the ring and into the wall separating the arena from the crowd. "How was that? Wasn't it refreshing?" taunts Jackie, as he claims his victory without ever laying a hand on Yamucha.

Match number three puts the seductress Lanfan up against the very noble Namu, who needs the Tenkaichi Budoukai prize money to buy water for his drought stricken village. Namu takes a very serious stance as the match begins, but becomes flustered as Lanfan makes a pass at him. Taking advantage of her opponents lowered guard, Lanfan plants a powerful kick on Namu's neck [left] and drops a double fist on he head. She attempts a third attack, but Namu gathers himself and jumps away. Now on the offensive, Namu rears back for his first attack, but Lanfan cowers and shrieks. This causes Namu to pause, and tap Lanfan ever so slightly on her arm. "Ouch! That hurt!" Lanfan cries as she falls to the ground. "He hit me! It hurt!" she sobs. Now very apologetic, Namu stammers "Forgive me... are you okay?" Once again taking advantage of her opponent, Lanfan lands a burning punch square on Namu's chest. Lanfan attempts another punch, but Namu grabs it. "If that's the tactic you're going to use, then I will no longer consider you a female! I will think of you as a man and a mortal enemy. I will fight with all of my strength and abilities!" shouts Namu as he regains his stance.

Namu attacks, and lanfan dodges with a back flip. Countering, Lanfan tries a high roundhouse, but is blocked by Namu. Seeing no other way out, Lanfan decides to use her ultimate tactic. She strips down to her underwear right on the spot! (Of course, this gets quite a reaction out of Jackie). Namu is stunned, and doesn't know quite what to do. "How do you like this, mister pure and noble?" Lanfan says in a seductive voice as she tosses her shirt aside. Namu's face turn blood red as he casts his eyes at the floor. With her chest stuck WAY out, Lanfan approaches Namu, who backs into the corner of the ring and nearly falls out [right]. At this point, Namu has a flashback to his village. Remembering his mission, Namu closes his eyes, dodges Lanfan's final attack and knocks her out cold with a chop to the neck. As Namu claims victory, Jackie comes over for a closer look at Lanfan (and a peak down her panties).

In match four, our hero faces off against Giran, a formidable opponent who has won many tournaments as of late. As the match begins, Giran motions for Goku to come look at something. "What what what?" questions Goku as he moves closer. Suddenly Giran whips around and smacks Goku into the wall on the far side of the ring with his tail. Thinking Goku is down for good, the crowd is stunned. However, Goku hops back up as if nothing happened. "Something happened! It kind of hurt!" says Goku to the stunned Budoukai crowd. Goku charges Giran. They exchange a few punches, each blocking the other's until Goku lands one in Giran's stomach, picks him up by the tail, and hurls him out of the ring. Goku is announced as the winner, and his friends begin to celebrate. Unexpectedly, Giran begins to fly! Giran return to the ring, and it is announced that since Giran never actually touched the ground, that he was not out of bounds. 'There is no out of bounds for me" states Giran, to which Goku replies "I guess I'll have to make you say 'I give up'." Then, in a surprise move, Giran spits a pair of strange purple rings around Goku. When asked what it is, Giran replies "Its my Guruguru gum." "I can't move." Says Goku as Giran lumbers towards him. Giran cracks his knuckles, whops Goku over the head, and hurls him out of the ring. Goku rapidly approaches the ground and yells "Kintoun!" Inches off the ground, Goku's little yellow cloud catches him [left], and returns him to a stunned crowd.

Giran points out "I though you couldn't use objects." The announcer confers with the Budoukai officials, and it is decided that an exception will be made for this remarkable little cloud, however it will not be allowed again. Giran grins at this, as he only has to toss Goku out of the ring one more time to win. Giran approaches the struggling boy. A swing! And a miss?! Puzzled, Giran looks around as a frightened crowd points towards his arm where he find Goku hanging there, by a tail! "My tail grew back!" exclaims Goku as he hops from Giran's arm. Determined to have a fair fight, Goku strains against the Guruguru gum as a stunned Giran looks on. after a minute of struggling, Goku breaks his bonds [right]. As a show of strength, Goku smashes a large hole in the back wall of the arena with a jump kick. Not knowing what else to do, Giran holds up a little white flag, and announces he is giving up.

The fifth match pits the bald midget, Kuririn, against his master in disguise, Jackie Chun. As the match begins, Kuririn charges Jackie Chun. He swings at his master twice. Failing to connect, Kuririn leaps and unleashes a barrage of kicks, all of which Jackie dodges. This continues for several more seconds until Kuririn finally catches Jackie off guard, forcing him to block Kuririn's blow. They break away from each other, and Jackie takes on an attack stance. Jackie proceeds to charge his opponent, and gives Kuririn a backhanded tap to his bald forehead. This seemingly weak attack sends Kuririn flying into the back wall of the ring. Getting up, Kuririn is shocked; he never saw the punch. Goku, who saw the punch, reminds him to remember his training and he will have no problem seeing it. "I won't be so nice with my next punch," remarks Jackie as Kuririn resumes his fighting pose. Again, Jackie lunges at his pupil, only this time Kuririn sees the punch coming. There is a flash of light, and both opponents land on opposite sides of the ring, unharmed. Again, the two fighters charge each other, only this time Kuririn falls over after landing, and goes down for a count of 9.

Puzzled as to what occurred when the two fighters met in midair, the announcer inquires. Reluctantly, Jackie and Kuririn demonstrate a rather elaborate succession of moves they went through in mid air, all of which took just 0.2 seconds. Resuming the match, Kuririn knows that he cannot beat the old man by skill alone, and decides to use his secret weapon. He reaches in his gi, pulls out a pair of panties, and tosses them toward Jackie. Being the pervert that he is, Jackie cannot resist his urges, and he leaps toward the panties. Just inches away from his goal, Jackie receives a sharp kick to the head from Kuririn [first image on the left]. The kick knocks Jackie clear out of the arena, and into the sky above the surrounding city. Seeing only one way out of his predicament, the old man fires a Kamehameha at the city street [right], and uses its force to propel himself back into the Budoukai arena. Stunned, the announcer exclaims that, up until this point, there was only one man who had mastered the Kamehameha, but now there is another. Totally amazed, Kuririn turns to Goku and asked what he can do. "Win!" is the reply he receives.

With that in mind, Kuririn charges Jackie, who easily dodges causing Kuririn to smash into the back wall of the arena. "I see you managed to conquer that wall." jests Jackie as Kuririn returns to his feet. Kuririn tells the old man to "Be quiet" as he charges the old man once again. Instead of jumping, Jackie uses his famous "One Image" (or blur for you dubbies), Jackie leaves an image of himself as he appears behind Kuririn. "Look out! Behind you!" shouts Goku, but it's too late. Jackie unleashes a fierce chop to each side of Kuririn's neck, dropping the midget to the ground [secind image on the left]. The announcer begins his count, but Jackie walks away saying "Don't bother counting. He won't be getting up for a while."

The sixth match and the last semifinal match of the Budoukai pits the noble Namu against our young hero, Goku. Before the match, Namu has a flashback to his drought-stricken village, and resolves to win the fight. At the sound of the gong, both fighters are motionless as they examine their opponent. After a bit of thought, Goku decides to use "one image," the same technique that Jackie used to defeat Kuririn. Goku disappears and reappears behind Namu. As he does this, Namu concentrates, senses Goku's presence and leaps into the air to avoid him. Namu counters by coming down on Goku with a jump-kick, which Goku dodges. Next, both fighters exchange several rounds of punches and kicks, with each fighter blocking the other's blows. Finally, Namu manages to land a blow on Goku, causing the young warrior to stumble.

Regaining his footing, Goku uses a sweep kick to trip Namu and punches him into the Budoukai arena's back wall. Namu propels himself off of the wall using his feet and comes charging at Goku. Goku, who is stunned at Namu's agility, is helpless as Namu lands a sharp chop to his neck. The chop, being more than Goku can stand, causes him to curl up on the ground. Seeing another opening, Namu decides to try and force Goku out of bounds by charging him. As Namu reaches Goku, he instinctively grabs Namu by the ankle with his tail, tripping his attacker. Goku pauses for a moment and devices a new technique that he is sure will defeat Namu. Goku extends his arms, and begins to spin like a top. As the twirling Goku approaches Namu, he tries, but fails to repel the twirling boy. However, just as Namu is forced back to the arena's edge, Goku's spinning slows, and he passes out [first image on the right]. Seeing the ultimate chance to end the match, Namu takes to the air to prepare for his Diving X attack. As Namu falls down [left] Goku begins to recover, but it is too late. Namu lands his Diving X attack right on Goku's neck, knocking him out once again.

The count begins, and his friends worry that he will never recover from such a violent blow. However, just as the announcer reaches ten, Goku is able to leap to his feet, and continue the match. Namu, certain that his attack was somehow off its mark, takes to the sky once more. Goku, knowing what Namu is up to, follows suit, and the two warriors are soon floating down together, Suddenly, Goku dives in an effort to beat Namu to the ground. Goku reaches the ground only seconds before Namu. Seeing this, Namu sets up for one last Diving X. Unfortunately for Namu, Goku leaps to one side, and kicks Namu in the side while he is only feet from the ground [second image on the right]. This sends Namu flying out of the ring, and causes him to lose the match.

The crowd sits silent, and drums beat on the sidelines as the 7th as the final match of the 21st Tenkaichi Budoukai is about to begin. The champion of this battle, be it Goku or Jackie Chun, will receive the 500,000 zeni prize. As the match is about to begin, Jackie and Goku take their stances. "I won't hold back." quips Jackie. "Me too." replies Goku. *Gong* The match has begun! Just as the gong finishes begins to ring, Jackie makes a charge at Goku. Jackie swings, but misses as Goku leaps into the air. Jackie glances over his shoulder, sees Goku returning to the ground, and does a back flip into the air. He meets up with Goku high above the Budoukai arena, and plants a kick square on Goku's back. Goku is sent flying over the city! Worse yet, he has been forbidden to use his Kinto-un. As Goku continues his flight, Jackie thinks to himself "I didn't think I'd win so easily. Maybe I shouldn't have gotten so worried." Jackie is all but proclaimed the winner when, to the amazement of the crowd, Goku comes hovering back into the ring using his tail to propel himself like a helicopter. "Too bad" taunts Goku. After several more exchanges, Goku challenges Jackie by saying his Kamehameha is every bit as good as Jackie�s. "Then see if you can withstand my Kamehameha. The technique that took me years to perfect." Says challenges Jackie. "I though Kamesennin invented the Kamehameha." questions Goku. "Oh... that right. It's definitely Kamesennin's." Says Jackie, with a bit of embarrassment (Phew, almost gave himself away. Good thing Goku isn't all that swift). "Kame..hame.." begins Jackie. "Keme..hame.." returns Goku. Both fighters then release their blasts at the same time with a "HA!". Both beams collide in mid air, creating a huge energy ball between the fighters which floods the arena in a blue light. The ball expands until it explodes, sending both competitors flying across the arena. Everyone (Including Jackie himself), is stunned at Goku's display of power. The announcer and the crowd praise Goku, and Jackie knows he had better not underestimate the boy again. Jackie resumes the match using his "one image" technique. "That again? Lets see. He's really... HERE!" shouts Goku as he turns and punches at a second image of Jackie. Jackie appears behind Goku, says "You missed," and kicks him sharply into the arena's back wall, demolishing it. The announcer begins his count. The entire crowd is held in suspense until Goku finally emerges from the rubble at the count of eight. Jackie is amazes, Goku hardly looks affected by his attack. "I can do that too." Says Goku as he repeats Jackie�s "one image." "You can't win by copying me" says Jackie. He turns to meat Goku's second image, and thinks the real Goku will then be behind him. He whips around and punches, only to meet up with a third image. Jackie is totally caught off guard. "Here I am." shouts Goku as he comes down from above, and strikes Jackie in the head with an overhead double fist [first image on the left]. Jackie drops to the ground, and is quite a bit of pain. "The nerve of you hitting your teacher in the head like that!" scolds Jackie. "Why are you my teacher old man. My teacher is Kamesennin." quizzes Goku. "Eh? Sure, that's right! I knew that!" says Jackie, who is by now quite embarrassed. "I know! You must be related to Kamesennin!" exclaims Goku. "Hahaha. You found out!" says Jackie, as he rubs his head in embarrassment. Jackie produces a family tree and says "See, were actually cousins." (Phew, saved once again). Again, Jackie resumes the match, but this time with a new technique. He begins to stagger around the arena, as if he were drunk. This catches Goku off guard. Jackie staggers towards Goku and punches him numerous times. Despite Goku's attempts, he cannot counter this technique by normal means. Again, Goku decides to imitate Jackie's technique (with a little modification of course). To Jackie�s surprise, Goku begins to jump around the arena as if he were a monkey. Using this technique, Goku manages to stop Jackie's drunken attack, and land a few hits a well. Eventually, the two break apart and take a short breather. Jackie vows that he will use the ultimate attack to defeat Goku. The match has gone on so long, that by now dusk is rapidly approaching, and the Moon hangs low in the sky. Jackie takes an odd stance, begins to wave his hands around in a hypnotic fashion while chanting in a strange tongue. Goku's eyes become heavy, his tail droops, and he hits the ground. After arguing with Jackie, the officials start the count. Goku's friends shout for him to get up, but he doesn�t budge. Finally, at the count of nine, Bulma shouts "Goku, get up! It's time to eat!" "Food, where?" questions Goku as he leaps to his feet. Goku leaps into the air, and comes down on Jackie with a series of Jankenpo, which Jackie easily blocks. Goku tries it one more time, and lands a blow squarely on Jackie's nose. The blow sends Jackie reeling backwards and causes him to hit the ground. Jackie remains down for a count of seven, before he collects himself as returns to his feet. Jackie once again vows not to loose the match, even if it means using his ultimate attack. "You�re only the second person I've had to use this on. The other was your Grandfather." Says Jackie as he prepares for his ultimate attack. Jackie clasps his hands together in praying fashion and begins to power up. He puts out his hands, and they are engulfed in electricity. He continues to charge his ultimate attack for nearly a minuet before finally releasing it on Goku. Electricity flows through Goku's body as he is lifted into the air. [first image on the right]. Jackie tells Goku to give up, or he will die. Goku refuses, and Jackie powers up his blast further. Goku can no longer take it. "I hate to say it but...I give..." says Goku. In mid-sentence, Goku sees the full moon, and transforms into his Oozuru form [second image on the left]. Goku breaks free of Jackie�s shocking technique and begins to devastate the arena. The crowd flees in terror, as Goku hurls chunks of the main building at them. Having no other choice, Jackie decides to use his Chou-Kamehameha. His shirt rips off as his muscles bulge out from the power-up. Despite opposition form Goku's friend, Jackie unleashes his ultimate Kamehameha. As the smoke clears, Goku is no where to be found. Goku's friends believe he was vaporized by Jackie's blast. Suddenly, Goku emerges from the rubble of the demolished Budoukai building. His friends are overjoyed. Jackie reveals that he was never aiming for Goku, but rather the Moon, which is not gone from the sky (one wonders how the moon comes back in DBZ...). At this point Goku is totally nude, which causes quite a stir among some of the remaining female audience members who haven't "Seen one before." The announcer calls for a short intermission while Goku changes into Kuririn's GI. After changing, the match resumes. Goku's stomach growls, he lets hit guard down, and Jackie attempts to fire a Kamehameha at Goku. However, the blast fails as Jackie it totally drained of his ki. Taking advantage of the situation, Goku unleashes a Kamehameha of his own. Jackie is forced to leap into the air to avoid it. Goku follows Jackie and kicks him in midair. Without his Kamehameha, Jackie thinks he will surly fall out of bounds. Jackie approaches the ground just outside of the arena, but at the last possible second, he kicks his foot into the lip of the raised arena, saving him from going out of bounds. Jackie climbs back into the arena. At this point, both fighters are completely drained of their ki, and can no longer perform any energy attacks. They will have to rely on hand-to-hand combat. The worn out contestants charge each other, and exchange a series of equally fierce blows. Jackie realizes that his only chance is to knock Goku out. Both opponents charge each other, leap into the air, and exchange kicks [second image on the right]. The force of each fighter's kick sends the other flying across the arena. Both fighters are downed for a count of ten. Since neither fighter is able to stand after the ten second time limit, it is decided that whoever can stand up completely, smile, and say "I guess I win" will be declared the winner. Goku nearly succeeds, but falls back to the ground after saying "I guess I..." Jackie then rises, smiles, says " guess I win", and is proclaimed the winner [third image on the left].

That evening, Roshie treats the whole gang to dinner, saying that Goku has earned it. Goku eats enough food for 50 people, and runs up a bill of 470,000 zeni. With only 30,000 zeni left, Roshi's hopes of getting some of the playboy bunnies are dashed. ;_;
