"Tenshinhan, in Anguish!" is the one hundred and thirty-first chapter of the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. It was first published in Japan in the 1987 #31 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.

Summary

Goku goes on about this being dirty, but Tenshinhan does not know what he means. The Turtle Hermit curses the Crane Hermit, as Tenshinhan rushes at Goku. Goku dares him to try that again, and he rushes at Tenshinhan in turn. "Do it, Chiaotzu!" says the Crane Hermit, and Chiaotzu points his finger out at Goku. Goku freezes in place again, and Tenshinhan delivers a hard kick to the face, sending Goku bouncing across the ring. Goku bounces over the edge, while upside down, and so he fires a Kamehameha at the ground to propel himself back into the ring.

Goku kicks off the ground once he lands, and charges at Tenshinhan, and Tenshinhan charges toward Goku as well. "Do it!" Chiaotzu freezes Goku again, giving Tenshinhan another chance to smack Goku down. The announcer bellows, "Whoa, suddenly the tide has turned for contestant Son. He's finally down!!" Goku cannot get back up, seemingly because of Chiaotzu's telekinesis. This time, it seems Tenshinhan has noticed something, and he wonders, "C-could it be..." The Crane Hermit telepathically orders Tenshinhan to kill Goku, and Tenshinhan realizes what is going on.

Tenshinhan telepathically asks Chiaotzu if this is his doing, then telepathically yells at him to undo it. Tenshinhan does not want to win like this. Chiaotzu asks his teacher what to do, and the Crane Hermit telepathically orders Tenshinhan to stop being stupid and kill Goku. After the count of eight, Tenshinhan suddenly yells (aloud) to stop, and Chiaotzu relents, as everyone else wonders what just happened. Goku quickly gets back up, angry, and he charges at Tenshinhan, but the Turtle Hermit yells at him to hold it.

The Crane Hermit is indignant at Tenshinhan for his disobedience, and Tenshinhan explains to him how he just wants to win the match by fighting all on his own, using his own true strength. The Crane Hermit angrily repeats his command. "...I can't kill him... If I kill him, I won't win the match... B-besides, I... don't really want to become a hitman anymore..." The Crane Hermit thinks Tenshinhan has been listening to the Turtle Hermit's claptrap, and yells at Chiaotzu to resume, but Chiaotzu is reluctant. "T... Ten-san is fighting all on his own for the first time... I... I also want to see the match to the end..."

The Crane Hermit is seeing red now, and grabs Chiaotzu and asks who he wants to die, "you or him?" The Turtle Hermit yells at Tenshinhan to move aside, and he fires a Kamehameha at the Crane Hermit, blasting him off into the distance. The Turtle Hermit yells that they can both do as they like with him out of the way. But Tenshinhan feels conflicted for having completely betrayed his teacher, and resolves not to lose this match. Tenshinhan then yells out at Goku to prepare for this next great attack. Chiaotzu cries out at him from the audience, asking Ten-san if he plans to do "that", as Goku readies himself.
