Arc Synopsis
During his training for the next Tenka’ichi Budōkai, Goku helps out many people in need, defeating many powerful, yet cruel fighters. He faces off against the outlaw brothers Kinkaku and Ginkaku, and their man-eating gourd, befriends the monster Inoshikachō, and battles the evil-hearted Tenshinhan. He even travels to the Demon Realm to save Princess Misa of the Cress Kingdom. Eventually he sets off into the wilderness to finish his training, and in a flash the three years have gone by. With his training complete, Goku rushes off to the 22nd Tenka’ichi Budōkai!
