Ep. 141: Goku exploits the sensitivity and weakness of Tien's four-body split technique to win the match.
Aired on January 18, 1989

Tien utilizes a technique that divides his body into four distinct entities, resulting in a total of twelve eyes. Goku is initially knocked down by their first attack but uses the moment to identify two critical weaknesses: the twelve eyes are overly sensitive, and each split body possesses only one-fourth of Tien's original strength. Capitalizing on these vulnerabilities, Goku employs Tien's own Taiyoken technique to blind the multiple eyes. He then proceeds to knock all four separate Tiens out of the ring, securing his victory through this strategic exploitation of the opponent's divided form.
