Return To The Tournament
Goku needs just one more Dragon Ball to wish Upa's father back to life…but the Ball is in the hands of an old enemy! Then, Goku and his friends part ways, promising to meet again in three years at the Tenka'ichi Budôkai, the "Strongest-Under-the-Heavens" Martial Arts Tournament. But this time the competition is stronger than ever: Tenshinhan and Chaozu, the deadly disciples of Tsuru-Sen'nin, the Crane Hermit! Will Kame-Sen'nin's turtle-style kung fu beat crane style? Or will their strange new opponents be triumphant?
===Story===
Legend says whoever gathers the seven magical "Dragon Balls" will be granted any one wish. Son Goku, a young boy from the mountains, first heard the legend from a city girl named Bulma. After many adventures with Bulma, Goku decided he wanted to get stronger, and so he trained under Kame-Sen'nin, the great martial artist. With his new strength he defeated the evil Red Ribbon Army, who has killed many people, including Upa's father Bora. Goku swore to Upa that he would gather the Dragon Balls to wish his father back to life. With the help of the All-Seeing Crone, Goku found the last missing Dragon Ball…in the hands of his old enemy Pilaf!
==Volume introduction by Akira Toriyama==
"I don't think there is anything good about being near-sighted. When you go to the the pool or the beach, you can't see any of the girls in their bikinis! Darn it! Quickly, I'll put on my glasses, but it'll turn out that the girl is actually an old lady! Then I'll take my glasses off as quickly as I can. Once, I went to a mixed-bathing hot spring but I couldn't see anything because I wasn't wearing my glasses. It made my want to cry. Darn this near-sightedness! Everyone please take care of your eyes."
