			===Demon King Piccolo arc===
			Feeling humbled, Tenshinhan begs Yamcha's forgiveness and offers Goku half of the prize money. Goku declines because he does not understand how to use money, but is missing some of his possessions. While Kuririn goes off to fetch them, a friend of Goku's called [[Lunch]] says she has fallen in love with Tenshinhan's "wildness", but he does not seem inclined to return the feeling. Suddenly, everyone hears Kuririn scream. They find his dead body beside the [[Tenka'ichi Budōkai Ringside Announcer]], who says a [[Tambourine\|monster]] killed Kuririn.<ref>{{Cite manga\|Chp=134}}</ref> This monster turns out to be an underling of the [[Demon King Piccolo]], who had been sealed away long ago by the Turtle and Crane Hermits' master, [[Mutaito]].

The Turtle Hermit attempts to seal him into a [[Denshi Jar\|rice cooker]] with the ''[[Mafūba]]'' technique that Mutaito used, but fails and loses his life.<ref>{{Cite manga\|Chp=146}}</ref> Chiaotzu tries to shout out a wish to [[Shenlong]] before Piccolo can, but also gets killed. Piccolo gets his wish instead, regaining the full power of his youth,<ref>{{Cite manga\|Chp=147}}</ref> and destroys Shenlong for good measure.<ref>{{Cite manga\|Chp=148}}</ref> Determined to take Piccolo down, Tenshinhan practices the ''Mafūba'',<ref>{{Cite manga\|Chp=151}}</ref> but the rice cooker gets cracked and becomes unusable. Tenshinhan resorts to fighting Piccolo head on, but has to get through an underling called [[Drum]] first.<ref>{{Cite manga\|Chp=153}}</ref> When Tenshinhan is about to get killed, Goku suddenly shows up and kills Drum.<ref>{{Cite manga\|Chp=154}}</ref> Having powered up considerably, Goku fights Piccolo and eventually destroys him.<ref>{{Cite manga\|Chp=161}}</ref> Seeking a way to bring Piccolo's victims back to life, Goku meets with [[God]], the creator of the Dragon Balls, who restores Shenlong and grants Goku's wish.<ref>{{Cite manga\|Chp=165}}</ref>

Getting started on the biography

	==Biography==		==Biography==
			Tenshinhan's introduction differs between the manga and anime. In a story exclusive to the anime, Tenshinhan and [[Chiaotzu]] work together with a creature called [[Inoshikachō]]. They have it rampage through villages and then pretend to rescue said villages from it in exchange for money. [[Son Goku]] comes along and uncovers the truth, however.<ref>{{Cite episode\|Series=DB\|Eps=82}}</ref> In the manga, Tenshinhan and Chiaotzu are first introduced at the 22nd [[Tenka'ichi Budōkai]], as students of the [[Crane Hermit]]. Having heard that the [[Turtle Hermit\|Turtle Hermit's]] students performed well at the previous Tenka'ichi Budōkai, the Crane Hermit wants to prove his superiority to his rival.<ref>{{Cite manga\|Chp=113}}</ref> The Turtle and Crane students clash several times throughout the tournament, with Tenshinhan knocking [[Yamcha]] unconscious before deliberately breaking his leg,<ref>{{Cite manga\|Chp=118}}</ref> and [[Kuririn]] outwitting Chiaotzu.<ref>{{Cite manga\|Chp=121}}</ref> Goku recognizes the [[Crane School\|Crane School's]] ''[[Dodonpa]]'' technique from when he fought and allegedly killed [[Tao Pai-pai]], the world's deadliest assassin and the Crane Hermit's younger brother. Tenshinhan is shocked that Tao Pai-pai was killed and relays this news to his master, who responds by ordering his students to kill the Turtle Hermit's students in revenge.<ref>{{Cite manga\|Chp=120}}</ref>

			Tenshinhan's next match pits him against the Turtle Hermit himself, however, who gradually persuades Tenshinhan to live his life in a more honorable way. The Turtle Hermit even ends up forfeiting the match, baffling the prideful Tenshinhan. Being someone who always seeks to dominate and humiliate his opponents, he cannot believe that any martial artist would ever admit to their own inferiority.<ref>{{Cite manga\|Chp=124}}<br>{{Cite manga\|Chp=125}}</ref> Goku is Tenshinhan's opponent in the final match, and they keep outdoing each other. When the Crane Hermit interferes by having Chiaotzu use his psychic powers to [[Paralysis Technique\|paralyze]] Goku, Tenshinhan yells at him to stop. He no longer approves of his master's dishonorable way of doing things, and wants to win the match with his own strength. The Crane Hermit gets furious and threatens to kill Chiaotzu, but the Turtle Hermit blasts him far away with a ''[[Kamehameha]]'', allowing Tenshinhan and Goku to proceed with their match.<ref>{{Cite manga\|Chp=131}}</ref> Tenshinhan unleashes the ''[[Kikōhō]]'', a devastating technique that shortens the user's lifespan if it does not outright kill them, to blow up the ring. Whoever touches the ground first now will be considered out of bounds and lose the match, but Tenshinhan can freely float in the air with his ''[[Bukūjutsu]]'' technique.<ref>{{Cite manga\|Chp=132}}<br>{{Cite manga\|Chp=133}}</ref> In a last-ditch effort, Goku propels himself into Tenshinhan to knock him unconscious, but still ends up hitting the ground first. Tenshinhan is the champion of the 22nd Tenka'ichi Budōkai.<ref>{{Cite manga\|Chp=134}}</ref>
