The 21st Tenka'ichi Budōkai is the first martial arts competition in Dragon Ball. At the time of the 21st, the Tenka'ichi Budōkai was held once every five years,[1] but there was such a high number of participants at the 21st, the frequency was changed to three years.[2]

Overview

Background

On the first day of Goku and Kuririn's training with Muten Rōshi, he tells them that if they do not shirk on their training, he will enter them into the Tenka'ichi Budōkai in eight months. He tells them that winning should not be their goal; their goal should only be to enter, and do their best; winning would be unrealistic.[3]

Tournament

Preliminaries

The preliminaries are held in a private hall without any spectators. They narrow the field down from 137 total participants to eight finalists. The participants are divided into four blocks, and two winners from each block proceed to the finals. The preliminary rules are as follows:

  1. Each match will last one minute. If there is no clear victor at the end of one minute, the judges will decide the winner.
  2. Killing is prohibited, as is the use of weapons.
  3. Any of the following will constitute a clear loss:
    • Falling out of the ring.
    • Losing consciousness.
    • Pleading for mercy.
    • Crying.[note 1]

Each contestant draws a slip with a number on it to determine the fighting order.[1][4]

Finals

Notes

  1. This rule is only mentioned in the manga, but no one was disqualified for crying on-screen in the anime or the manga.
