description Dragon Ball: 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament Overview
While the 23rd tournament is often cited, the 22nd is the peak of Dragon Ball's martial arts focus. It features the introduction of Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu, providing a perfect foil to Goku and Krillin. The fights are grounded, technical, and emphasize training and discipline over energy blasts. It captures the pure spirit of martial arts competition before the series shifted into the cosmic power-scaling of Z.
It remains a charming, high-energy arc that defines the roots of the tournament genre.
