Adult Division Finals



The 25th Budoukai is, by far, the largest one to date. It attracts numerous contestants with dreams of defeating Mr. Satan, and droves of Satan's adoring fans. This is only the second Tenkaichi Budoukai which has taken place in a stadium-like enclosure. In addition, this is the second Budoukai to have a special Junior division for those under the age of 16. Previously, all fighters, young and old, fought in one tournament.

Unlike the Adult division, all 35 Junior entrants are allowed to participate in the finals, as there is no Junior division qualifying round. As a result, the large Junior division is skimmed over by both the TV series and Japanese manga. Most of the battles mentioned deal with Trunks and Goten who really wanted to, and had the ability to, compete with the adults. As a token of his good will, Satan has offered to fight the Junior Division champion. Satan, seeing the power of Trunks, devises a plan to get out of it. Prior to their fight, Satan tells Trunks that it is customary to exchange light pre-battle punches as a show of honor. Trunks reels back and lets him have a big one right in the kisser, sending Satan flying into the brick wall across the stadium.

Another new addition to the tournament is the punching machine. Previously, the finalists were decided by eight blocks of contestants battling it out in ordered preliminary matches. The Z Fighters have quite a time with the punching machine, with all of them topping Satan's score with just a tap. After Vegeta demolishes the machine, none of the other scores are given, even though another machine is set up. It is assumed that Great Saiyaman, Videl, Jewel, Killer, Yaboo, Kaioshin, Spopovitch, Kiboto, Mighty Mask (before Trunks and Goten stole his suit), and Butter all qualified. The three unknown contestants on the score list did not qualify (they don't even remotely resemble any of the finalists).

During an intermission after the Junior division rounds, while Goku and gang go out to lunch, Goten and Trunks decide to knock Mighty Mask unconscious and steal his suit. This is probably one of the funniest parts of the Budoukai. Mighty Mask looks hilarious. Trunks and Goten (Goten being on bottom) can never agree on which way to go, are always bumping into things, and are constantly falling flat on their asses.

The first match goes by fairly uneventful. Krill has no problem mopping up Butter (it only takes him one kick). There is a bit of trouble during the second and third matches. Piccolo, sensing Kaioshin's immense strength, throws the match by giving up. Videl has quite a bit of trouble with Spopovitch,. In fact, she nearly dies before Yaboo tells Spopovitch to throw Videl out of the ring to finish the match. During the 4th match, Gohan and Kiboto face off. However, just as the battle gets interesting, Spopovitch and Yaboo fly off with evil energy collected from the match in an effort to awaken Majin Buu. Knowing what's happening, Goku, Kiboto, Gohan, Kaioshin, and Piccolo take off. Videl follows her "boyfriend", and, not wanting to be left out, Kuririn chases after. This instantly disqualifies the contestants.

After much debate among the officials, Mr. Satan interjects and suggests a Battle Royal be held to determine the winner. Only a split second after the match begins, Mighty Mask has knocked Killer out of the ring with just a tap, and Android 18 knocks Jewel out of the ring with a kick. After defeating their attackers, Might Mask and #18 take to the sky to battle it out. Not knowing the true identity of Mighty Mask, #18 is astonished at his power. However, after being knocked into the ground, Trunks and Goten go Super Saiya-jin and fire a VERY powerful blast at #18. Now knowing the true identify of Mighty mask, #18 fires a ki blast at Trunks and Goten. They are at a disagreement over which way to dodge, and #18's ki blast ends up tearing the suit in half, revealing their identity to the crowd. They are then disqualified As #18 returns to the ground, Satan is scared shitless by what he has just witnessed. Android #18 cuts a deal with Satan, in which she will throw the fight to Satan in return for 20,000,000 zeni, which he readily agrees to. As part of Android 18's "master plan", Satan performs his strongest move, the infamous Satan Special Ultra Super Megaton Punch (its just a regular punch), on #18. After asking Satan if that was his strongest attack, to which Satan replies "Yes", Android 18 throws herself out of the ring.
