Biography
Tenshinhan's introduction differs between the manga and anime. In a story exclusive to the anime, Tenshinhan and Chiaotzu work together with a creature called Inoshikachō. They have it rampage through villages and then pretend to rescue said villages from it in exchange for money. Son Goku comes along and uncovers the truth, however.[5] In the manga, Tenshinhan and Chiaotzu are first introduced at the 22nd Tenka'ichi Budōkai, as students of the Crane Hermit. Having heard that the Turtle Hermit's students performed well at the previous Tenka'ichi Budōkai, the Crane Hermit wants to prove his superiority to his rival.[6] The Turtle and Crane students clash several times throughout the tournament, with Tenshinhan knocking Yamcha unconscious before deliberately breaking his leg,[7] and Kuririn outwitting Chiaotzu.[8] Goku recognizes the Crane School's Dodonpa technique from when he fought and allegedly killed Tao Pai-pai, the world's deadliest assassin and the Crane Hermit's younger brother. Tenshinhan is shocked that Tao Pai-pai was killed and relays this news to his master, who responds by ordering his students to kill the Turtle Hermit's students in revenge.[9]
Tenshinhan's next match pits him against the Turtle Hermit himself, however, who gradually persuades Tenshinhan to live his life in a more honorable way. The Turtle Hermit even ends up forfeiting the match, baffling the prideful Tenshinhan. Being someone who always seeks to dominate and humiliate his opponents, he cannot believe that any martial artist would ever admit to their own inferiority.[10] Goku is Tenshinhan's opponent in the final match, and they keep outdoing each other. When the Crane Hermit interferes by having Chiaotzu use his psychic powers to paralyze Goku, Tenshinhan yells at him to stop. He no longer approves of his master's dishonorable way of doing things, and wants to win the match with his own strength. The Crane Hermit gets furious and threatens to kill Chiaotzu, but the Turtle Hermit blasts him far away with a Kamehameha, allowing Tenshinhan and Goku to proceed with their match.[11] Tenshinhan unleashes the Kikōhō, a devastating technique that shortens the user's lifespan if it does not outright kill them, to blow up the ring. Whoever touches the ground first now will be considered out of bounds and lose the match, but Tenshinhan can freely float in the air with his Bukūjutsu technique.[12] In a last-ditch effort, Goku propels himself into Tenshinhan to knock him unconscious, but still ends up hitting the ground first. Tenshinhan is the champion of the 22nd Tenka'ichi Budōkai.[13]
