Summary
After an eventful previous match, Panput, a multi-tournament contender for the championship, enters the ring to face Gokū. Despite their credentials, Tenshinhan and Goku are neither intimidated nor overwhelmed. As the match begins, Panput attacks with a powerful punch. However, he stops in front of Gokū’s face, surprised that Gokū didn’t duck, but then wonders that Gokū simply didn’t have time to do so.
Gokū however tells Panputa that his punch just didn’t look powerful . Deciding that Gokū is simply uninformed, Panput demonstrates his own skill and unleashes a flurry of blows into the air. He ends his impressive combo by destroying the wall that Jackie Chun was standing behind. Jackie Chun comments that the match will surely be easier to watch now, while Kuririn notes that Panput just didn’t look as strong as he thought.
After this display, the announcer restarts the match. Panput decides the match will end in 30 seconds; however, with seemingly one blow, Gokū removes the grapple. However, Tenshinhan saw that the attack was indeed – three elbow strikes that moved fast enough to only be perceived as a single attack. Gokū and Kuririn believe that Panput was simply not that skilled, but Jackie Chun refutes this, stating that he was a frighteningly skilled fighter. However, this was only at an ordinary level.
The announcement for the next match is Tenshinhan vs. Jackie Chan; the elder master notes that a new era is beginning. Commenting on Jackie Chun’s nature, Tenshinhan himself decides not to let his guard down. Gokū and Kuririn are oblivious and instead think about what Jackie Chun told them.
