Ep. 85: Goku and allies face early bracket challenges while tensions rise before the finals.
Aired on October 28, 1987
Goku, Krillin, Yamcha, and Jackie Chun are placed in separate bracket sections, ensuring they do not meet until the finals. Yamcha wins his first match easily, while Krillin feigns difficulty before securing victory. Master Shen’s students, Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu, confront the group, insulting their strength and calling Krillin a midget. High tensions lead Yamcha and Tien to prepare for an immediate fight, but Jackie Chun intervenes, warning that such actions would result in disqualification. Tien subsequently wins his first match quickly. Goku’s turn arrives, pitting him against King Choppa, who previously won the tournament without sustaining a single hit.
