The Fate of the Strongest

is one hundred ninety-third chapter of the Dragon Ball manga.
==Cover==
The cover shows Goku and Piccolo in two different boxes, with Piccolo charging towards the bloody Goku. Under the two boxes, are six smaller boxes with the other six finalists of the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament.
==Summary==
Piccolo's Explosive Demon Wave blast keeps coming down at the immobile Goku. The blast hits the ground, and there was a large explosion. When the smoke clears, there is just a crater in the remains of the ring. The crater is completely empty, and Piccolo comes back down to the ground, celebrating Son Goku's death, thinking he has turned to dust.
Goku's friends are sad, as Piccolo continues celebrating his victory. But then Krillin notices something and asks Tien Shinhan what he sees with his great vision. Tien Shinhan spots something; it is Goku, up in the air, a way off. Goku is flying toward Piccolo from behind him, and Tien Shinhan shouts out that it is Flight. Goku continues darting toward Piccolo, and finally connects with a headbutt to Piccolo's gut.
Piccolo is thrown off a distance, coughing up blood, and then he and Goku each hit the ground. Goku asks the World Tournament Announcer if that is not a ring out for Piccolo, and the announcer looks over, seeing that it is indeed. Goku's friends begin to celebrate as they run over toward him, as he is laying all beaten up and bloody in what used to be the ring.

==Trivia==
*In the original Japanese version, chapters 193 and 194 were the start of volume 17. When Viz Media split the manga into Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z (due to their anime adaptations), volume 17 became volume 1 of Dragon Ball Z, and chapters 193 and 194 were moved to Dragon Ball volume 16.
