 Episode #181: Tournament Begins
 
 On the Grand Kai's Planet, Goku tells King Kai about
                        Pikkon's strength. King
 Kai tells him there are warriors that can match Pikkon's
                        strength. As they
 finish walking, all of King Kai's students come out to
                        greet King Kai and
 Goku. King Kai introduces Goku to a few of them,
                        including Olibu, who is from
 Earth like Goku. King Kai tells Goku that everyone must
                        train for 10,000
 years to earn a lesson from the Grand Kai!
 
 Suddenly, the other three Kais walk over to King Kai,
                        making fun of him for
 being dead. Goku wonders how many Kais there are, so
                        Olibu explains it to
 him. After East Kai taunts King Kai some more, West Kai
                        suggests they hold a
 tournament to see who has taught their students the
                        best. The Grand Kai likes
 the idea of a tournament. Then, Grand Kai walks off, and
                        everyone follows.
 Grand Kai shows them the arena, which is actually an
                        area in space.
 
 Goku gets excited about fighting in the tournament, but
                        East Kai questions
 Goku's right to participate. She tells Goku she'll
                        approve his participation
 if he beats her in a race. King Kai tells Goku to beat
                        her. The race begins.
 East Kai is winning at first, but Goku bounces off some
                        meteors and catches
 up with her. Suddenly, East Kai goes into hyper speed!
                        Goku starts flying
 faster and eventually catches up with her again. They
                        both finish at the same
 time. Grand Kai is there waiting for them. He holds up a
                        gold medal for the
 winner, but puts it on himself since he got there first.
 
 As the tournament is about to begin, each of the Kais
                        are encouraging their
 students. Goku is excited that Pikkon will be fighting
                        in the tournament. The
 announcer explains the rules of the tournament to
                        everyone. The crowd starts
 to cheer as the first round begins, which has Olibu
                        fighting a short fighter
 from East Kai's quadrant. Olibu tries to hit him, but
                        can't touch the little
 fighter. When he makes clones of himself, Olibu flies
                        into the air and dodges
 all of them, making them crash into each other, knocking
                        them out. Olibu wins
 the match!
 
 After some more fighting takes place, it's Goku's turn
                        to battle. His oponent
 is Catapee, a fighter from South Kai's quadrant. Catapee
                        tries to hypnotize
 Goku, but Goku flies into the air, but Catapee extends
                        two of his arms and
 drags Goku into his grip. Catapee starts to tickle Goku.
                        Everyone is stunned
 by this method of fighting. Goku is laughing
                        uncontrollably. Suddenly, he
 powers up and sends Catapee flying. Goku tells Catapee
                        that he's not very
 strong. Angry by Goku's remark, Catapee walks towards
                        him and turns into a
 pupa. The announcer says Catapee's going through a stage
                        of metamorphosis. He
 asks South Kai how long it will take for Catapee to
                        evolve. The South Kai
 estimates...1200 years! No one wants to wait that long
                        for the fight to end,
 so Grand Kai announces that Goku wins by default. Goku
                        is happy that he won
 his first fight in the tournament.
