Turtle vs. Crane The next Tenkaichi Budokai martial art tournament is just around the corner, and an eager Son Goku can't wait to face even tougher fighters for the 'Strongest Under the Heavens' title. Among the contestants include pipsqueak Chaozu and three-eyed Tenshinhan, deadly disciples of Tsuru-Sennin, the Crane Hermit. As it turns out, Tsuru-Sennin is an old rival of Goku's teacher Kame-sennin (also known as the Turtle hemit). What's worse, Tsuru-Sennin orders Chaozu and Tenshinhan to kill the Kame Sennin disciples. Will crane-style kung fu beat out turtle style? As these two martial arts schools duke it out in the tournament ring, things just might turn fatal.
