Synopsis

Tenshinhan somehow uses the Shishin no Ken to become four people! They spread to the four corners of the arena, and jointly attack Goku with energy waves!! Goku seems to be in an absolutely desperate pinch, but he says he has seen two weaknesses of the technique. Goku uses the Taiyō-Ken to hide himself with the first weakness, Tenshinhan's overly good eyesight. He then uses lightning speed to knock the four Tenshinhans out of bounds as they wait for their eyes to recover!! It turns out that the second weakness was that by splitting into four people, Tenshinhan's movement and power were reduced.
