Very solid episode. Possibly the best fight so far. I love Bluma beating the crap out of Oolong while she cheers. Though since Kamehamehas seem to take a while to pull off, why don't the opponents just move? Or do something to interrupt it?

Poor Yamcha. Puar's cute though.

lol @ Roshi getting revenge.

This was well balanced episode. There was humor and also some pretty cool fighting. It was pretty brutal how Yamucha's leg got broken. I really want to see Goku destroy those fools.

>He must have been his best student

Lol he's in for a huge surprise if he faces Goku xD

Pretty sweet episode, quite a nice fight but he's definitely nothing compared to Goku!

Ah well, too bad for Yamcha. He certainly has improved a shitload, at this point I wouldn't be surprised if he was actually stronger than Krillin. Interesting to see that he could do Kamehameha, I don't think Krillin can do that yet.

Interesting you said that, because I've never thought about who I consider stronger between Kuririn and Yamcha. I think I've always assumed Yamcha up to now, but I'm not sure.

Tien breaking Yamcha's leg was brutal!! I saw Dragon Ball Z first, so it's crazy seeing how cruel Tien is at this point

At least Yamcha put up a good fight, and it wasn't just some effortless curb stomping to hype up Tien.

ten breaking yamuchas leg pretty much sums up his character up until this point: a bit overkill on the evil.

also i love the roshi vs crane rivalry and hope it turns into something interesting

The fight sure was entertaining, definitely one of my top 5 duels from this show. Yamcha was very impressive. Yamcha was astounding to pull off the Kamehameha wave in just three years when it took Master Roshi 50 years to achieve it. Unfortunately, he lost and got off with a nearly broken leg. He did his best, though. Kudos for Yamcha. That said, Tien isn't one to pull his punches. At first, I thought he would win by outside interference courtesy of Chiaotzu, but it seems like Tien truly outclassed Yamcha. But still, that statement Tien made regarding Yamcha being the strongest of the three disciples was quite naive. Goku's strength is on a whole different level. You would think a contender who got second place in the last World's Martial Arts tournament and transformed into a giant ape would get more recognition than that, but oh well.

Bulma and Oolong were having their own fight in the sidelines, lol. And speaking of Chiaotzu, I find his expressions to be disconcerting, and disturbing, like a forlorn child whose murder is in his mind. He is still precious, though.

Was not expecting that kamehameha from Yamucha. Truly one of the greatest fights in the show so far. Tien shows no mercy as well and continues to remain a despicable character. Can't wait for him to face Goku in the finals - hopefully, that will teach him a lesson.

Kamehameha wave!!! Yamcha surely is a shadow of Goku. Even Krillian never did this. But Tien have some special techniques.

Poor Tien! He thinks Yamcha was the best he fought. He was lucky that last time Goku was hungry and tired or he wouldn't be here to fight. Goku fought with demons. Shula himself had trouble against Goku. I would like to see Tien's face when he will fight the real deals.

It is sure almost that Jackie Chun is going to win. I am thinking about Krillian. I don't think he will win against that cheater Chiaotzou.

I wonder which one is the best humor - Bulma beating Ulong or Tien thinking he has beaten the best where Jackie Chun and Goku are still on line, haha!!!

Oh my god. That animation was fucking GORGEOUS. The animation direction for this episode was top-notch.

Goku is real mad. I can't wait to see what happens next.

What an exciting fight but unfortunate finish, with the unnecessary cheap shot of Tien breaking Yamcha's leg. There was some humor with Master Roshi and the Crane Hermit getting into a spat, but it was instigated by the Crane Hermit talking trash. Regarding the next match, I think I know/remember why Man-Wolf is so upset with Jackie Chan (I won't spoil it here) but we'll see. I expect Jackie Chan to beat Man-Wolf but still looking forward to the match.

The fight between Yamcha and Tien was AWESOME. They way that Tien ended that fight really makes you want to see Goku kick his ass.

Yamcha's parallels with a wolf in his fighting style and his Kamehameha were so fucking cool. It's a shame the fight ended the way it did, I didn't think that seeing a broken leg would be as disturbing as it was. The fact that this was only the first battle of the finals has me excited.

One of the funnier episodes, Yamcha got decimated though, feels bad for him. Roshi better not lose next round.
