Aired on July 30, 1986
Rain postpones Goku's match, forcing a wait in a bar where opponent Giran creates disturbances. Yamcha warns that Giran cheats. When the fight starts, Giran tricks Goku, punches him, and uses flying Nimbus Cloud to return to bounds after being thrown out. He traps Goku with rock-hard gum and throws him out again, but Goku summons the Nimbus Cloud to save himself. Giran attempts to punch Goku, but Goku dodges as Giran's tail regrows. Empowered by his tail, Giran breaks free from the gum. Astonished by this strength, Giran forfeits the match.
