==Summary==
==Summary==
The announcer reads off the results for those who can't see, with Yamcha noting that Goku will be fighting Vegeta. The first match will begin right right away — Kuririn vs Puntar. The announcer tells the crowd that Kuririn used to compete when he was a kid and did very well, while Puntar had competed at the previous tournament and lost by ring out in the semifinals. The little blonde girl says the man her father's fighting looks really big and strong, but Yamcha assures her that her father is the strongest in the world, of the Earthlings at least. Puntar says he won't hold back, because the Tenka'ichi Budōkai isn't a game, although then he mockingly says that tiny-geezers don't belong here, either. Kuririn sighs and thinks he won't use his full strength against this idiot.
[[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 is a bit strange, and she believes it 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 does not have to fight any of his friends in the first round, and Piccolo says God is [[Dende]]. [[Goku]] looks around, and does not think anyone but the pair from before look great. He wonders about the two guys with the "M" on their forehead, and thinks the masked guy's body has strange proportions.


The match begins and Puntar starts flipping around the ring to show off that not only is he big, but he's also fast, telling Kuririn he won't be able to run away. He dares Kuririn to punch him, and so Kuririn nonchalantly punches him in the gut, smacks him across the face, and then kicks him out of the ring. The announcer is happy to see such strength again, and calls for the second match to begin — Shin vs Ma Junior. The announcer says that this is Shin's first time competing, but Ma Junior had gotten to the finals at an old Budōkai, in an incredible fight that he remembers very well. The announcer asks him not to destroy the ring (again). Some people in the crowd recognize Piccolo as one of the people in the way while Mister Satan fought Cell. Backstage, Vegeta is thinking they'll finally get to see just how great this guy's Battle Power really is.
The [[Tenka'ichi Budōkai Ringside Announcer|announcer]] says he will call them all in (Japanese) alphabetical order. The drawing begins and [[Killa]] draws #14, [[Kibito]] draws #7, Kuririn draws #1, the 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 does not. [[Spopovitch]] gets called up, but does not respond, so Trunks and Goten think that must be their name, and run up. The announcer tells them they are [[Mighty Mask]], as the real Spopovitch comes up and angrily draws #6. [[Jewel]] draws next and gets #16, with Son Goku drawing #11 after him. Videl is called up and she asks about her father, and the announcer says that he is resting, so he will draw in his place. Videl draws #5, against Spopovitch. Overhearing this, Goku realizes that she is [[Mister Satan|Mister Satan's]] daughter, and Kuririn asks Gohan when they are 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!


Piccolo realizes he can't fight this person, and wonders why. "You'll know soon enough. But for now, let's make this a fun game." Piccolo is shocked his thoughts have been read, and then concedes and leaves the ring. Shin thinks, "I see. He used to be this planet's god... Somehow or other, he's beginning to sense who I am..." Shin gets the victory, and Piccolo tells Goku their difference in strength was dimensions apart. Kuririn starts to worry, since he'll have to fight him in the next round. But now for the third match — Videl vs Spopovitch. The crowd chants for Videl, and Gohan wishes her good luck. The announcer tells the crowd that Videl is Mister Satan's daughter, as well as a friend of justice who has foiled many criminals for the police. She also won the Youth Division seven years ago at the previous tournament, when she was a little girl. Spopovitch competed at the last tournament, but now he's come back and changed his image. Shin passes Spopovitch on his way backstage, and glances back at Spopovitch with grave concern.
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 will 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 that he will be in the fifth match, and his opponent is an unknown, yet beautiful girl. Satan sits up excitedly.

"The Match-Ups Are Decided!" is the four hundred and thirty-eighth chapter of the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. It was first published in Japan in the 1993 #41 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.

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 is a bit strange, and she believes it 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 does not have to fight any of his friends in the first round, and Piccolo says God is Dende. Goku looks around, and does not think anyone but the pair from before look great. He wonders about the two guys with the "M" on their forehead, and thinks the masked guy's body has strange proportions.

The announcer says he will call them all in (Japanese) alphabetical order. The drawing begins and Killa draws #14, Kibito draws #7, Kuririn draws #1, the Great Saiyaman draws #8 to put him up against Kibito, No. 18 draws #9, and Shin draws #3.
