Synopsis

Three years after Piccolo Daimaō was defeated, Kame-Sen'nin, Bulma, and the others wait for Goku's arrival in front of the registration area for the 23rd Tenka'ichi Budōkai. Goku shows up there, having grown so much as to be unrecognizable! After arriving right before registration closes, Kuririn, Tenshinhan, and the others initially don't recognize Goku either. Having shared a joyful reunion, they all spend the night in a hotel. The next day at the Tenka'ichi Budōkai preliminary grounds, Goku discovers Piccolo's doppelganger, Ma Junior!!
