Aired on March 12, 1997
Goku, Pan, and Majuub compete in the 31st World Martial Arts Tournament. Goku enters the Junior Division due to his child form, while Pan joins the Adult Division. Mr. Satan places Pan in the higher bracket to avoid her fighting Goku and to secure her future as World Champion. Goku reaches the finals but is accidentally knocked out after being distracted by Vegeta. Pan advances to the Adult Division semi-finals but forfeits to avoid becoming like her grandfather. Majuub faces Mr. Satan in the finals and gains the upper hand. However, Buu, residing within Majuub, instructs him to let Mr. Satan win because the champion provides hope to the world. Majuub is knocked out, allowing Mr. Satan to retain his title.
