Awesome fight so far and Goku looked hilarious with Roshis sunglasses on haha. I have a feeling Tien isn't gonna like the fact that Master Shen is having Chiaotzu use his powers to help him win.

I never realized Muten Roshi always wears sunglasses. It seemed weird to me that his students couldn't recognize him only because of his hair, but now it seems a little bit more plausible

Judging from the preview, maybe not
I think one of Goku's friends should handle Chaozu. We'll see if they can figure out who's the culprit

Oh boy what was wrong with Goku? Did he use some kind of psychosis or what was up with that? Either way this sure is one hell of an awesome fight so lets see how it will end!

Well, it's pretty obvious that Shen is forcing Chiaotzu to interfere with the match and it's also pretty obvious that Tien isn't going to like that very much(if he finds out). Chiaotzu follows Tien around wherever he goes so if Tien leaves Shen he'll leave too no questions asked.

Yeah, there is no doubt that Tien will not like at all The Crane Hermit interfering in his battle. Maybe Tien will give him a Dodonpa as a present?

What's up with the weird voice Tien had during his volleyball attack?

Great fight! And quick thinking on Goku's part.
Yamcha over-explaining the sunglasses to Bulma, lol: "The tinted lens of the sunglasses enabled Goku to see Tien's movements..." Yes, we know how sunglasses work. xD

Of course they are cheating, no shock there.

The volleyball scene really highlights how bad these tournaments have been though. Why would he not knock Goku out of the ring with the strike? In general people haven't been trying to knock each other out of the ring and that's weird. Only really in the Fortuneteller Baba Saga did people actually fight in a way that made sense.

i think this might be the best fight so far. so many cool techniques and shocking little moments, and it looks like we're about to head into the best part

This is a great fight so far. I like how Goku utilizes his strategy of battle strength or power level, basically highlighting the fact that Goku uses a certain amount of strength in different situations. With Tien, Goku feels like he could go full out without fearing the consequences of mortally hurting him. That's a nice mentality to have. Goku truly is an exceptional fighter.

It seems like Master Shen decided to take matters into his own hands and interfere with the match. It seemed like he utilized Chiaotzu's technique, most likely originated off Master Shen, and stopped Goku in his tracks, providing an opportunity for Tien to land a hit. Ah, I hope Master Roshi realizes what's going on. He knows Master Shen best out of the gang, after all.

This fight is so intense! Goku really gets to show his true potential. Shame on Tien for underestimating his opponent like that - he truly was in for a surprise. That sunglasses scene though, hahaha.

The fight turned to be awesome!!!

But what was actually cool was Goku's techniques and specially the sunglasses one, haha, poor guy!!! He never thought his cheap technique could be defeated.

However Shen is Cheaper actually. He just used Chiaotzou to help Tien from outside. I don't think even Tien will be happy to know that. This doing was the cheapest in this whole tournament thing. I hope Goku finds out this mess quick and recovers from this.

Shen should die worse than his brother. Both the brothers are cheap.

The most enjoying part in this episode was the mirror image fight. It was like image over image over image. I think even master Roushi was shocked to see this kind of fight.

I called the sunglasses happening lol, Goku looked so cute in them. Also I’m wondering how Tien is going to react to the fact that Chiaotzu helped him out.

First accolade: Goku hitting Tien in the gut
Second accolade: Tien jumping like he's freaking Sonic the Hedgehog.

Seconds appear to last a loooong time in this adaptation, I counted past 10 on both times that Tien got knocked down.
