At last it's Goku's turn! The one facing Goku in the fourth match was the powerful opponent Giran!! Goku is knocked around by Giran's stream of unfair attacks! Giran traps Goku in the rubbery Guru-Guru Gum that he shoots from his mouth!! Goku is in an absolutely desperate pinch! Just as he is about to be thrown out of the ring, his chopped-off tail suddenly grows back, and his power multiplies! Seeing this, Giran surrenders!!
