Dragon Ball Vol. 2 — Manga Raw / Buy Official

After clearing the preliminaries, Goku faces Giran's crushing strength and wriggles out of a rubber binding with his stretching power pole and raw improvisation, then trades life-or-death straight punches with Namu, who needs the prize money to save a thirsty village. The wall in the final is disguised Jackie Chun — secretly Master Roshi, entered so his students will not be handed a win — and even clashing Kamehamehas and a full-moon Great Ape crisis share the same ring. Jackie smashes the moon itself to stop the ape, then leaves the ring by a razor-thin decision. Goku leaves knowing there is still a ceiling above him. This is where a master truly hits his student, and the next enemy's scale jumps.
