Synopsis

The preliminaries result in Goku and the others, Ma Junior, and the mysterious girl all being selected to participate in the main tournament. The fight to determine the last participant is between a fat, masked man, and Shen, a man who gives the outward appearance of being unskilled. It looked like the masked man had the upper hand, but Shen's head hits the man's jaw as Shen turns around, and he wins!! The masked man was in fact Yajirobe, who had disguised himself. And thus the eight participants are finally decided!! The first match is between Tenshinhan and Cyborg Tao Pai-pai, the younger brother of Tenshinhan's master Tsuru-Sen'nin!
