"The Tenka'ichi Budōkai" is the four hundred and twenty-sixth chapter of the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. It was first published in Japan in the 1993 #28 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.

Summary

Back at Capsule Corp., Gohan tells Bulma that he is going to enter the Tenka'ichi Budōkai because one of his classmates is Mister Satan's daughter... Bulma recognizes Mister Satan as the world fighting champion, who got in the way during the battle with Cell. Gohan says she found out his identity. Nevertheless, helmets or protectors are not allowed at the Tenka'ichi Budōkai, so he needs something else. Bulma has a solution, and gives him a bandanna and sunglasses. Gohan is amazed at how easy that was and asks Trunks what he thinks, but Trunks says "No comment...". Bulma figures Gohan would easily win, but Vegeta thinks otherwise. He insists that if Gohan enters, he will be entering too. He says there used to be a great difference in power between them, but how about now? Gohan has been relaxing during this peaceful time, while he has continued his training. Bulma starts complaining that Vegeta has no job, and neither did Goku, so it must be a Saiyan thing. Trunks thinks it would be awesome for his father and Gohan to fight, and then a very familiar voice says, "I'll enter too!!"

Gohan recognizes it as his father's voice. "That's right! Been a while, guys." Gohan asks how he has been, and Goku says he is as well as someone can be while dead, as he talks to them via Kaiō. Gohan asks if he can really come, and Goku says yeah. He asked the Fortuneteller Crone to let the one day he can return to the living be the day of the Budōkai. Gohan is very happy, Vegeta thinks it will be interesting, and Trunks is confused. Bulma tells Gohan to hurry along and tell his mom, Goten, Kuririn, and everyone else the big news. Before he leaves, Gohan tells Vegeta he should wear a costume like this, to hide his identity, but Vegeta is quite reluctant.

His first stop is at Kame House, and Kuririn is very surprised to hear the news. Gohan points out to the reader that since Kuririn stopped fighting, he also stopped shaving his head like a monk. No. 18 and a little blonde girl are there, too. Kuririn doubts he could win if Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta are all entering, but Gohan says there will be prizes up to fifth place. No. 18 asks how much they could win. The winner gets 10,000,000 zenni, second place gets 5,000,000, third gets 3,000,000, fourth gets 2,000,000, and fifth gets 1,000,000. No. 18 tells Kuririn he will be competing, along with herself. Kuririn asks Gohan not to tell Piccolo about this so he can surely get fifth place, but Gohan cannot do that. Kuririn then asks about Gohan's goofy outfit, but Gohan says he has no fashion sense, insisting it is cool.

Next stop, God's Temple. Piccolo thinks it should be interesting and says he will enter, but Dende will not because he is not a Fighting-Type Namekian. Piccolo asks about Gohan's strange clothes, too, but Gohan tells him they are cool. Gohan flies off, thinking that he does not know where Tenshinhan and Chiaotzu are, and Bulma will contact Yamcha. He figures his mother will be happy to see father, even if only for one day, and this will be Goten's first time seeing him. But he doubts his mother will even let him enter. He would have to take time off from school to train... But that night at dinner, Chi-Chi gets so excited to hear about Goku returning, and worries that she has aged so much. Gohan says he wants to enter, too, talking about the prize money. Chi-Chi then insists he participate, because he and Goku could get first and second for 15,000,000 zenni. She does not even care if he takes time off from school for training. Chi-Chi thinks this is a blessing from the heavens, as very little is left of her dad's fortune. Gohan asks Goten to help him train tomorrow, and Goten says okay. So, the next day, Gohan turns Super Saiyan to start his new training.

 ==Summary==
-Gohan says he needs to get his reflexes back up to speed as he piles some rocks together. He tells Goten to throw the rocks at him from this line, and Goten agrees, as Gohan positions himself. Goten thinks this is awfully close, but Gohan insists that the shorter the distance, the better. Goten thinks he’ll get hurt, but Gohan insists it’s okay and tells him to throw it hard. Goten throws it very hard, and Gohan just barely dodges it. The rock goes crashing through the mountain behind Gohan. Goten thinks that was awesome and that "Big Brother" did great, while Gohan is speechless. Goten prepares to throw more, but Gohan tells him to hold up, as he makes a new line farther back. Goten then resumes throwing the rocks, and Gohan dodges them with ease.
+Back at [[Capsule Corporation|Capsule Corp.]], [[Gohan]] tells [[Bulma]] that he is going to enter the [[Tenka'ichi Budōkai]] because one of his classmates is Mister Satan's [[Videl|daughter]]... Bulma recognizes [[Mister Satan]] as the world fighting champion, who got in the way during the battle with [[Cell]]. Gohan says she found out his identity. Nevertheless, helmets or protectors are not allowed at the Tenka'ichi Budōkai, so he needs something else. Bulma has a solution, and gives him a bandanna and sunglasses. Gohan is amazed at how easy that was and asks [[Trunks]] what he thinks, but Trunks says "No comment...". Bulma figures Gohan would easily win, but [[Vegeta]] thinks otherwise. He insists that if Gohan enters, he will be entering too. He says there used to be a great difference in power between them, but how about now? Gohan has been relaxing during this peaceful time, while he has continued his training. Bulma starts complaining that Vegeta has no job, and neither did [[Goku]], so it must be a [[Saiyan]] thing. Trunks thinks it would be awesome for his father and Gohan to fight, and then a very familiar voice says, "I'll enter too!!"
-Goten then stops throwing and asks if he can be like him, but Gohan doesn’t understand. The ‘Super Saiyan’ thing. Gohan laughs and says that it requires lots of training, plus anger and stuff... Goten suddenly turns Super Saiyan, and Gohan’s jaw drops. Gohan asks how long he’s been able to do that, but Goten doesn’t remember. Gohan can’t believe this, after all the trouble he and their father went through to become Super Saiyan. Gohan says they can spar now, and asks Goten if he knows about that. "Yep! While big brother was studying, mother taught me." He says she saw him turn Super Saiyan once, and got mad because it was bad. Goten then comes at Gohan with a kick, punch, and a lot more hits, all of which Gohan blocks. Gohan ends up in the air, while Goten stays on the ground, because he can’t fly. Gohan thinks it’s weird that he’s become a Super Saiyan already without being able to fly.
+Gohan recognizes it as his father's voice. "That's right! Been a while, guys." Gohan asks how he has been, and Goku says he is as well as someone can be while dead, as he talks to them via [[North Kaiō|Kaiō]]. Gohan asks if he can really come, and Goku says yeah. He asked the [[Fortuneteller Crone]] to let the one day he can return to the living be the day of the Budōkai. Gohan is very happy, Vegeta thinks it will be interesting, and Trunks is confused. Bulma tells Gohan to hurry along and tell his [[Chi-Chi|mom]], [[Goten]], [[Kuririn]], and everyone else the big news. Before he leaves, Gohan tells Vegeta he should wear a costume like this, to hide his identity, but Vegeta is quite reluctant.
-A plane then flies by, and Gohan recognizes it as Videl’s. Gohan realizes that in addition to her, now he has another person to teach to fly. He lands and tells Goten not to show off his strength too much to this girl from his school, especially not Super Saiyan. The two of them run back to the house through the woods, with Goten saying how awesome Gohan was at dodging the rocks. Gohan says Goten has amazing fighting talent, and if he trains, he can maybe enter the Tenka’ichi Budōkai as well. Goten says Trunks is stronger though, at least when they play fight. Gohan worries that the youngsters will quickly pass him up.
+His first stop is at [[Kame House]], and Kuririn is very surprised to hear the news. Gohan points out to the reader that since Kuririn stopped fighting, he also stopped shaving his head like a monk. [[No. 18]] and a [[Marron|little blonde girl]] are there, too. Kuririn doubts he could win if Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta are all entering, but Gohan says there will be prizes up to fifth place. No. 18 asks how much they could win. The winner gets 10,000,000 [[zenni]], second place gets 5,000,000, third gets 3,000,000, fourth gets 2,000,000, and fifth gets 1,000,000. No. 18 tells Kuririn he will be competing, along with herself. Kuririn asks Gohan not to tell [[Piccolo]] about this so he can surely get fifth place, but Gohan cannot do that. Kuririn then asks about Gohan's goofy outfit, but Gohan says he has no fashion sense, insisting it is cool.
-Back at the house, Chi-Chi thinks Videl has come looking for a date just as Gohan and Goten arrive. Videl says she looked him up to find his address and asks Gohan about his absence from school, since he was supposed to be teaching her to fly. Gohan says he will, and explains the situation to his mother — that he learned about the Budōkai through Videl and promised to teach her ''Bukūjutsu''. Chi-Chi tells her not to do anything "naughty" to Gohan as thanks, and Videl angrily grits her teeth and says she doesn’t intend to. Gohan nervously says he just wanted to train quietly...
+Next stop, [[God's Temple]]. Piccolo thinks it should be interesting and says he will enter, but [[Dende]] will not because he is not a Fighting-Type [[Namekian]]. Piccolo asks about Gohan's strange clothes, too, but Gohan tells him they are cool. Gohan flies off, thinking that he does not know where [[Tenshinhan]] and [[Chiaotzu]] are, and Bulma will contact [[Yamcha]].

She does not even care if he takes time off from school for training. Chi-Chi thinks this is a blessing from the heavens, as very little is left of her [[Ox Demon King|dad's]] fortune. Gohan asks Goten to help him train tomorrow, and Goten says okay. So, the next day, Gohan turns [[Super Saiyan]] to start his new training.
