EP 140Goku removes 100 kg of gear to match Tien's speed increase
Jan 11, 1989Tien demonstrates a significant boost in speed, pointing out that Goku has not improved his velocity since the last tournament.

Unable to keep up with his opponent's enhanced speed, Tien has no choice but to employ a new technique known as the 12 eyes.
EP 141Goku exploits the sensitivity and weakness of Tien's four-body split technique to win the match.

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.
