Preliminary Peril

Goku and Tien Shinhan agree to keep it a secret that Piccolo's spawn is at the tournament. Chi-chi has also entered the tournament. Goku doesn't recognize her at first, enraging her. Chi-chi walks away without telling Goku who she is. Her appearance also distresses Krillin, who is now under the impression that Goku did no training in the past three years and was instead hanging around with women. Yajirobe is also at the tournament, sneaking around, trying to avoid Goku. Chiaotzu rigs the numbers so that no one has to fight each other in the preliminaries. Goku is up first. He is fighting King Choppa again, just like the last tournament. Choppa prepares to fight, but Goku simply stands, seemingly unprepared. This intimidates Choppa. The boys notice that Goku's mind is completely cleared. Goku moves so fast that Choppa can't see him and defeats Choppa with only one tiny chop. Chi-chi is a very strong fighter, as in Yajirobe. All of the protagonists win their fights except Chiaotzu. He appears to have been beaten by Mercenary Tao. Over the years, Tao has become a cyborg in order to live. He seeks vengeance against Goku and Tien.
