Tenshinhan Looking At Yajirobe Or Kami?

[bizness86]

Would Tenshinhan really be exhausted from fighting Yajirobe? Also, it seems as if Tenshinhan is facing Kami, who is further off into the distance. Perhaps both Yajirobe and Tenshinhan are up against Kami...? Which seems to mean that at this time Kami was stronger...

Thoughts?

[Bussani]

Well, he may have been training by himself rather than sparring with either of them. On the other hand, Tenshinhan being out of breath from fighting Yajirobe might not be that strange. Yajirobe was pretty much even with Goku when the two first met, which was right after Goku had fought Tenshinhan. Goku even thought to himself that he'd never met someone as resilient as Yajirobe, which almost seems to imply that he was more impressive than Tenshinhan at that point! The guy may be a lazy coward, but he was freakin' tough when he was first introduced.

Yajirobe prolly has outrageous durability like nappa. Tires people out that fatass.

Is Yaji eating or meditating there?

I always assumed Tien was training by himself right there.

[bizness86]

I'd like to assume that he may be up against Kami, just for the reason that he's facing in his direction. Tenshinhan at Budokai 23 was included in Kamesennin's as the four strongest in the world (Goku, Tenshinhan, Piccolo, Shen). While yajirobe was mentioned to be strong (Krillin), Goku seemed particularly impressed with Tenshinhan on multiple terms; all the while even Tenshinhan was awed by Shen's and Piccolo's battle. I'm assuming that even through training Tenshinhan would have been a bit less powerful than Kami.

I'd assume that Yajirobe is meditating.

I would say that Yaijirobe is pretending to medidate, as Kami's watching them. In fact he thinks of some tasty food Quite plausible scenario, isn't it?

Secondly... no. Tenshinhan is not "fighting" Yajirobe in this scene. Why would he be? Yajirobe is sitting down, not even facing Tenshinhan. Tenshinhan, apparently is just doing his own training in this scene.

Maybe this is how Krillin was able to sneak ahead of Tenshinhan. He hogged Chaotzu to himself, and improved his training by sparring. Whereas Tenshinhan was stuck with Yajirobe, who at no point would cooperate.

Krillin wasn't able to sneak ahead of Tenshinhan,because,after this training Tenshinhan still was the strongest.

On topic,i think Tenshinhan was in a class of his own,therefore,it makes perfect sense that he is training alone or he was sparring with Kami not Yajirobe who is meditating.

If you have bought the manga, would you prefer to bother scanning & upload an image, when you can find the image imidiately with some clicks? Just because he showed us a pirated image doesn't mean that he hasn't bought the manga. Not to mention that Dragon Ball manga isn't available to buy in every single corner of the world, not everyone has credit card to buy it from online stores, and not everyone affords the money to buy the whole manga.

I'll add this:

I own Dragon Ball VIZBIG Vol 3. I own Dragon Ball Z VIZBIG Vol 1, 2, 5-9. I currently await (via mail) Dragon Ball VIZBIG Vol 1, 2, 4, 5. I also await Dragon Ball Z VIZBIG Vol 3, 4, which kinda sucked, because I just literally saw both volumes in a Barnes and Noble, and all instincts told me to grab them and run...

I use an easily accessible copy purely for two reasons:

• convenience.
• I needed no dialogue context; I only needed the illustrations; nothing said on the page was relevant; only the fact that Tenshinhan seems to be facing Kami, whilst Yajirobe is sitting between them.

As for the original post, I'll add that perhaps even Ten and Yajirobe and taking turns with Kami; I don't find it incredibly hard to believe, and it could possibly show room for Kami's and Popo's improvement as well...? Speculative, at best, I suppose, but Tenshinhan is facing Kami...

[Piccolo Daimao]

I never thought that Tenshinhan was looking at anyone in particular. I thought he was just standing there, panting after training.

If he was looking at someone, the perspective seems to suggest that it's God. So perhaps it's either that he was just training by himself, but looking towards God to see if he liked what he was doing, or he was sparring with God.

I think Yajirobe was either eating or meditating. But I always assumed the former. I don't know how it could be interpreted that Yajirobe is doing any kind of physical training in that panel, since he's just sitting on the floor. I don't think Yajirobe took the training that seriously, since he didn't even want to fight the Saiyans in the first place and, clearly uncomfortable, asked God if he could take his weighted clothing off at the end of their training.

And when it showed everyone training (the Earthlings, after they'd completed their training at God's Palace and descended back to the lower realm to hone their skills before the battle), Yajirobe was the only one who didn't have his weighted clothing on and was just eating.

Okay, I have a question: if this is a scan of the Viz manga, how come Mr. Popo has his lips? I can't recall a single printing where they didn't give him facial surgery. The only time they missed it was on a title page during the fight with Nappa and Vegeta.

Perhaps it's not Viz, or a different version of the manga that just took Viz's translation (like Gollancz). Or someone edited it.

[FindKenshi]

It's Viz. Trust me, I own the comic, that most certainly is the work of Viz. What's more, that is older Viz work, back when they were releasing the manga as a "comic" on full 8.5 x 11 paper.

(Note: before I'm "corrected", yes I realize the "comic book" style Viz was releasing wasn't actually 8.5 x 11 exactly, so sue me, lol I'm generalizing here, it was "about that big.")

[FNF]

It looks like Tenshinhan is looking at God in that scene. Maybe he was eager to impress him.

I don't see how you thought he was looking at/training with Yajirobe xD

No, I mean, I have the first four Z volumes from Gollancz, and it's almost exactly like Viz's. I think the main difference is the somewhat reduced quality in paper and maybe a couple of omitted chapter title pages at the end.

[Chibi Mystic Gohan]

It's definitely the old VIZ comic book version. They didn't censor Mr. Popo's lips back then.

[dbgtFO]

It seems like he's looking at God. If I were to guess what he was thinking it'd be:
"Isn't he going to train us himself?"

"Isn't he going to train us himself?"

Or "He's looking over at me...what is he thinking? Does he believe we're doing enough to defeat the Saiyans?"

Okay Kenshi, I'll buy the entire manga boxset. Do you have $787 I could borrow? Or if we could meet up at a Borders near me, 20$ per volume you could lend me? Take your time, I'll wait.
