After giving his life to save the Earth from Cell, Goku finds himself once again in the afterlife. Along with Kaiō, Goku heads to the Dai Kaiō’s planet to try and receive training from the Dai Kaiō, who is said to be the strongest in the afterlife. There Goku meets Paikuhan, the martial arts master of the western galaxy. After the north, east, south, and west Kaiōs are all assembled, the Afterlife Tournament begins! Goku and Paikuhan do well and advance along. Goku defeats Maraiko of the western galaxy, and advances to the finals. Paikuhan also makes it, and the final is set as a showdown between him and Goku.
Though Paikuhan had been going easy on Goku in their fight, he removes his weighted clothing after he realizes Goku’s true strength. Seeing this, Goku becomes a Super Saiyan and faces off against him. However, Goku is heavily damaged by Paikuhan’s special attack, the Thunder Flash, and is in an absolutely desperate pinch. But taking advantage of the opening when Paikuhan fires the technique, Goku blows him away with a Kamehameha. Goku has somehow won the tournament! However, according to the Dai Kaiō’s judgment, the two of them are disqualified for violating the rules. But the truth is that the Dai Kaiō didn’t want to train Goku, who was way too strong for even him…
