Ep. 100: Tien uses his four arms and Tri-Beam against Goku in a destructive ring battle.
Aired on February 10, 1988

Tien utilizes his four arms to gain an advantage over Goku, nearly pushing him out of the ring. After a struggle involving headbutts and tail strikes, Goku appears to grow six extra arms to match Tien's four. They fight until simultaneously knocked down, with the count reaching eight before they rise. Goku trips Tien and pulls his legs, causing pain, while Tien chokes Goku with his extra arms before letting go. Tien eventually flips Goku into the wall. Deciding to end the match, Tien instructs Goku to dodge and floats above the ring to fire the Tri-Beam Cannon. The attack destroys the entire ring, leaving a large hole in the ground, and Goku is nowhere to be found when the dust clears.
