"The Eight Winners are Determined!!" is the one hundred and sixty-eighth chapter of the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. It was first published in Japan in the 1988 #18 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.

Summary

Goku cannot believe this, and Tenshinhan says Tao Pai-pai is supposed to be dead. Tao Pai-pai says he does not die so easily, and explains that he was revived, though it took a while. Kuririn asks Goku who this is, so Goku explains that he is a hitman, as well as the Crane Hermit's little brother. So, he is like Tenshinhan and Chiaotzu's senpai, and Goku was sure he had killed him. Tao Pai-pai says he used all the money he had earned to be revived as a cyborg, as well as getting his power increased exponentially.

Tao Pai-pai does not care about winning the tournament, he just wants to kill Son Goku. And after that, Tenshinhan, who has betrayed them for the Turtle School. Tenshinhan says he has not taken up the Turtle Style, he just realized the Crane School's teachings were no good. Tenshinhan tells him they will fight, and Tao Pai-pai thinks it will be fun.

Piccolo's offspring wins a match by flicking a guy with his finger, and Kuririn says a lot of really amazing people have gathered this time. Goku thinks that this offspring has surpassed the previous Piccolo. Then, Goku has another match, and he easily wins it, so #2 places in the finals. Then #35 (Tenshinhan), #16 (Kuririn), #22 (Yamcha), and #51 (Piccolo's offspring) each place as well. Tao Pai-pai has apparently also placed, and also the cute girl from before, #59. Goku thinks she does seem a bit familiar.

Now there is only one match left. The two contestants are a masked fat dude and a nerd. The nerd charges at the fat dude, and trips, falling on his face, and just misses a punch from the fat dude. The nerd gets back up, and accidentally headbutts the fat dude in the face for a knockout. So, the nerd, #70, places. The announcer then calls the eight finalists over for the lottery.

The fat dude, meanwhile, takes off his hood, revealing that he is... Yajirobe! Yajirobe thinks that nerd was not just a clumsy bastard, then gets changed and leaves with his stuff. The announcer (who now has a little mustache) is prepared to start the lottery, and he screams when he sees Kuririn. The announcer starts praying, and so Kuririn tells him he is not a ghost, he was returned to life. With that aside, the numbers are drawn, and the announcer makes up a chart. The matchups are Tao Pai-pai versus Tenshinhan, Son Goku versus Anonymous Hopeful (the cute girl), Ma Junior (Piccolo's offspring) versus Kuririn, and Shen (the nerdy guy) versus Yamcha.
