Dragonball Z episode 166
title: Goku ni semaru daikessen!  Shin tenkaichi budoukai no nazo]
      [Goku is drawing closer to the big battle!
       The mystery of the new martial arts tournament]
aired: 1992.11.25

Cell said that he would hold the tenkaichi budoukai, and that he just
wanted to see the fear in people's faces.  After Cell left, Trunks got
very mad and let out a lot of energy.

Then Kuririn and Vejiita arrived at the island.  Kuririn was relieved
that Trunks was all right.  Vejiita just flew down to Trunks and asked
about Cell.  Trunks apologized and said that he couldn't defeat Cell.
Vejiita said that he knew Trunks couldn't win.

At Kamisama's place Tenshinhan and Piccolo were shocked.  Bulma was very
worried about Trunks.  She told Piccolo to go help him out.  But Piccolo
said that Trunks was still alive.  Piccolo said that he would have to go
into the room of spirit and time himself.

Trunks told Kuririn and Vejiita about Cell and the tenkaichi budoukai.
Kuririn wondered who would be able to face Cell.  Trunks said that he
would train again in the room.  But Vejiita said that he could do it
alone without Trunks or Goku.  Then number 16 struggled up to them and
said that he would also fight.  Trunks got mad because he was a cyborg
created br Dr. Gero.  But Kuririn went to number 16, and said that he
would carry number 16 to Bulma.  Kuririn told Trunks that number 16 was
different.  He also said that the number 17 and 18 that were sucked up by
Cell were different from the ones Trunks knew in the future.

Goku and Gohan were training as Super Saiya-jin.  After Goku blasted
Gohan, Goku carried Gohan to the bed.  Then Gohan woke up and said sorry.
Goku was going to train some more, but Gohan said that he wanted to go
too.  So Goku said that he would stop for the day.  Then Goku and Gohan
both went to eat.

Vejiita, Trunks, and Kuririn arrived at capsule corporation.  Yamucha,
Kamesennin, Chichi, Chaozu, and others arrived too.  They had received a
call from Bulma, who hadn't arrived yet.  Trunks explained the situation
to everyone.  Since Bulma's mother didn't know what a tenkaichi budoukai
was, Kamesennin (the winner of one of them) explained.

[lots of old scenes from Dragonball, tenkaichi budoukai]

In the first tournament in the Dragonball series, Goku lost to Jackie
Chun (actually Kamesennin).  5 years later, Goku lost to Tenshinhan.
Then 3 years later, Goku beat Piccolo.  There had been no tenkaichi
budoukai since then.

By the end of Kamesennin's story everyone had disappeared, except for
Bulma's mother.

Everyone was upset about Cell playing with them by holding the tenkaichi
budoukai.  But Chichi said that if Cell follows the rules, nobody would
have to die.  Kuririn and Yamucha felt happy as they could enter the
contest without having to worry about dying.  Then Chichi said that if
the world was safe, she didn't want to let Gohan fight.  When Gohan was
born, Goku had promised Chichi to make Gohan a great scholar because the
world was peaceful and they didn't need any more stupid warriors like
Goku.  Chichi wanted to take Gohan away from these bad people so he
wouldn't become a delinquent.

Cell went to the countryside, and chopped up a mountain to create a ring
for the tenkaichi budoukai.  Then Cell flew off toward a TV station.
