Synopsis

Having increased his ability somewhat, Goku sets off for new training. After arriving in the past through the Room of Time, he meets a young Kame-Sen'nin and Tsuru-Sen'nin. He then challenges the pair's master, Mutaito, to a match, but is sent flying with a single thrust. Mutaito teaches Goku about the importance of controlling his ki, and demonstrates the technique of cutting a flowing waterfall with one's ki. Goku tries to copy this technique, but only manages to succeed once, by accident. Goku still needs much more training...
