==Summary==
==Summary==
Piccolo doubts those two were from Earth, but wonders why aliens would be here. Videl asks about this alien business, and Gohan whispers to her that Piccolo's a bit strange, and she believes him because of his complexion. Kuririn wants the drawing to hurry up and start. They continue on toward the backstage area and arrive just in time for the drawings. Kuririn prays to God that he doesn't fight any of his friends in the first round, and Piccolo says God is Dende. Goku looks around, and doesn't think anyone but the pair from before look great. He wonders about the two guys with the "M" on their forehead, and thinks Mighty Mask looks weird.
The [[Tenka'ichi Budōkai Ringside Announcer|announcer]] says that the Adult Division will begin at 1:40 PM, after a thirty minute intermission. [[Kuririn]] suggests they get some food in the meantime. An attendant stops them and says only those who have passed the preliminaries can pass, but Kuririn insists they have passed. Their names are Kuririn, [[Son Goku]], [[No. 18]], [[Vegeta]], and [[Piccolo|Ma Junior]]. Goku asks about "Ma Junior", and Piccolo says that "Piccolo" might be unpleasant. They are allowed through, with the attendant telling them that the match order drawing will be at 1:30. Kuririn says that only them and [[Gohan]] will be any good, and Goku does not have any use for prize money right now. Kuririn says he does not even age while he is dead, and Goku asks if he wants to try it. Kuririn says he is incredibly happy now, so he will pass on the offer.


The announcer says he'll call them all in [Japanese] alphabetical order. The drawing begins and Killa draws #14, Kibito draws #7, Kuririn draws #1, Great Saiyaman draws #8 to put him up against Kibito, No. 18 draws #9, and Shin draws #3. Trunks asks Goten if they know their masked guy's name, but he doesn't. Spopovitch gets called up, but doesn't respond, so Trunks and Goten think that must be their name, and run up. The announcer tells them they're Mighty Mask, as the real Spopovitch comes up and angrily draws #6. Jewel draws next and gets a #16, with Son Goku drawing #11 after him. Videl is called up and she asks about her Papa, and the announcer says that he's resting so he'll draw in his place. Videl draws #5, against Spopovitch. Overhearing this, Goku realizes that she's Mister Satan's daughter, and Kuririn asks Gohan when they're getting married. Puntar draws #2, and Kuririn is relieved to fight him. Vegeta draws #12, against Goku! Vegeta has been waiting a long time for this day. Trunks and Goten argue about whose father will win, as they get called up and draw #13, against Killa. Ma Junior draws #4, against Shin. The announcer then draws for Mister Satan, getting #10, against No. 18. Finally, Yamu draws #15, against Jewel. The match-ups are set!
[[Trunks]] calls [[Goten]] over, and they look at an adult [[Mighty Mask|participant wearing a mask]]. Trunks says he has passed the preliminaries if he is over there, and thinks they can "use" him. They could fit into his clothes, and then fight with the adults dressed as him. Goten says they cannot do that, but Trunks insists, and then runs over to the guy. Trunks tells him a pretty girl wants to talk to him, and leads him behind a building, then knocks him out. They take off his clothes, and Goten thinks they are too small for these. That is why they will both wear it. Trunks sits on Goten's shoulders, and then they put on the outfit, and voila! Goten pokes eye holes through the shirt so he can see, too. And then they run off looking quite odd.


The announcer leads them all to the waiting room, going over the rules again. There is also now a thirty minute time limit per match, due to the increased number of matches. Puntar says he'll only need ten seconds to beat Kuririn, who merely scoffs. The announcer then goes out and announces the start of the Tenka'ichi Budōkai. An attendant tells Satan (who is still recovering) that he'll be in the fifth match, and his opponent is an unknown, yet beautiful girl. Satan sits up excitedly.
Meanwhile, Goku and Vegeta are chowing down on plate after plate of food, as everyone else watches on after finishing. Kuririn wonders if it is okay to eat so much, doubting that dead people even get hungry. Goku says it does not matter if you eat or not in [[Afterlife|That World]], and says the food of the lower world is much yummier. Gohan and [[Videl]] arrive, and Gohan joins in eating a lot, too. Kuririn wonders about [[Saiyan]] stomachs. After finishing up all their food, they head back and Gohan asks Videl if she is on a diet, because she did not eat, but she says nothing. As they walk around, they bump into a strange pair.
 
A very [[Kibito|tall solemn man]], and a [[Shin|smaller guy]] with spiked hair, who is floating. Piccolo and Goku are speechless, as Videl comments on the floating. The little guy says hello to "Son Goku-''san''", explaining that he has heard of him. He has also passed the preliminaries, and hopes to fight against Goku. He doubts he could beat Goku, but he would love to find out how strong he really is. Then he wants to shake Goku's hand. They shake, and the guy says Goku does indeed have a good soul. The pair heads off, and Goku thinks it will not be so easy for them to win after all. Kuririn did not think anything special of them, though.

"A Mysterious Pair" is the four hundred and thirty-seventh chapter of the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. It was first published in Japan in the 1993 #40 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.

Summary

The announcer says that the Adult Division will begin at 1:40 PM, after a thirty minute intermission. Kuririn suggests they get some food in the meantime. An attendant stops them and says only those who have passed the preliminaries can pass, but Kuririn insists they have passed. Their names are Kuririn, Son Goku, No. 18, Vegeta, and Ma Junior. Goku asks about "Ma Junior", and Piccolo says that "Piccolo" might be unpleasant. They are allowed through, with the attendant telling them that the match order drawing will be at 1:30. Kuririn says that only them and Gohan will be any good, and Goku does not have any use for prize money right now. Kuririn says he does not even age while he is dead, and Goku asks if he wants to try it. Kuririn says he is incredibly happy now, so he will pass on the offer.

Trunks calls Goten over, and they look at an adult participant wearing a mask. Trunks says he has passed the preliminaries if he is over there, and thinks they can "use" him. They could fit into his clothes, and then fight with the adults dressed as him. Goten says they cannot do that, but Trunks insists, and then runs over to the guy. Trunks tells him a pretty girl wants to talk to him, and leads him behind a building, then knocks him out. They take off his clothes, and Goten thinks they are too small for these. That is why they will both wear it. Trunks sits on Goten's shoulders, and then they put on the outfit, and voila! Goten pokes eye holes through the shirt so he can see, too. And then they run off looking quite odd.

Meanwhile, Goku and Vegeta are chowing down on plate after plate of food, as everyone else watches on after finishing.
