"That Satori-san is not only handsome but also strong," Bulma said.
"Hey. Wake up for a moment. Remember you are in a relationship." Oolong reminded her.
"That's right." Yamcha's little pal paur also supported Oolong.
"He abandoned me for months just to train for this lifelong dream that he didn't even tell me about. I thought his wish was to be able to be around a beautiful girl. Not becoming the champion of this Tenkaichi boudokai or whatever." Bulma complained.
"He did know about martial artists like Goku's grandpa Son Gohan. So it's not like it's not out of nowhere." Oolong said but Bulma frowned at him so he just decided to shut up.
Even if he was in right he didn't want to get in a massive argument that would be tiring for him, both physically and mentally.
After all he likes Yamcha as a friend but not enough to the point of having to endure Bulma's talk about why she is justified in everything that she do.

"Who do you think will win young man?" Jackie Chan asked me as Goku's battle began.
"Do you even have to ask? Ofcouse Goku will win." Yamcha replied without being asked but Jackie Chan seems to be satisfied with the answer.
"..." I didn't say anything to him because I knew he already knew the outcome of the fight.
Because despite knowing Goku would struggle since he is the type of guy that only gets powerful opponents in tournaments like this in the end he will always win until he reaches the final.
Goku's opponent was a flying petroductyl-like monster called Giran and he was someone who could not be underestimated.
"Hey. Kid comes here." Giran called out to Goku.
Goku naively approached him but he was slapped away by his large tail when he was close enough.
Goku was sent crashing into the wall. But luckily it was not out of bounds.
"Hahaha." Giran started laughing thinking that he had beaten Goku.
However, his laughter stopped as Goku got up.
"I don't know what you are going to show me. But I don't even want to see it now." Goku replied.
"Now it's my turn," Goku said as he rushed in and punched Giran in the stomach.
Then while Giran was in pain he jumped forward and landed near Giran's tail.
Then grabbed it and threw Giran's whole body into the air despite the difference in size between the two.
"Amazing Son Goku have thrown Giran away despite his little body." The announcer said in joy.
However, Giran was a creature with wings so he was able to fly back onto the stage before a ring out.
"Haha. Ring out is impossible for me." Giran claimed.
"Seriously," Goku said.
"Contestant Giran was thrown out of the ring however his legs did not touch the ground before going back to the stage so he is still in the fight and have not lose yet." The announcer explained to people that might be confused.
"Then I will just make you give up," Goku said.
However, Giran throws something like a liquid substance from his mouth towards Goku's body.
It wrapped around Goku's body and prevented him from moving his arms and legs.
"What is this? I can't move." Goku claimed.
"That is my loopty loop gum," Giran replied.
He then approached Goku and hit him in the head.
"Ouch."
He then smiled after watching Goku being unable to defend himself.
Then he grabbed Goku and raised him above his head.
"What are you going to do?" Goku asked.
"Ofcouse. I am going to throw you out of the ring." Giran replied.
"Hey. Goku is about to lose." Krillin said.
"Hey. Stop. Let's fight fair and square." Goku said.
"Sorry, but you lose," Giran said as he threw Goku out of the ring.
However just as Goku was about to be eliminated by a ring out he called upon the flying Nimbus and was able to get back into the ring.
"Hey. Isn't it cheating?" Giran said to the announcer.
"But you also flew and used a loop-the-loop thing," Goku replied.
"But those things come from my body while yours do not," Giran replied.
There was some truth to Giran's words as despite him fighting a bit dirty he still did not break any official rules.
"This is the first time so this offence is excused. However if you use this again you will be elimited." the announcer said to Goku.
"Haha. Served you right. All you have done is prolong the inevitable." Giran said as he slowly approached Goku.
"Now I will send you flying away but this time with a little present." He said as he started to charge his punch.
However when he threw the punch at Goku, Goku disappeared.
But he was not launched flying away.
"Hey, where did he go?" Giran asked.
Then he looked around to see Goku grabbing onto his hand that he just used to throw a punch using his tail.
"My tail. It grew back." Goku said
"Tail." Giran was confused as he thought Goku was a human and from what he knew normal humans do not have tails.
"That saved me. But if I can't break free from his I will lose this match." Goku said as he got back onto the ring by letting go of Giran's hand that he was grabbing onto using his tail.
Then he broke free of the loopty loop gum using his raw strength despite not being able to do that before.
"That feels great. I knew I felt much better having a tail." Goku said.
Then he tried throwing a kick that destroyed a wall that is connected to the arena.
"Yosh. Awesome." Goku said.
"Now it is counterattack time," Goku yelled out.
However, Giran who knew he was not a match for the stronger Goku waved his white flag.
"I give up." He said.
"Son Goku have won his match. And what a surprise to find out he has a tail." The announcer said.
*****
"I wonder."A thought popped into my mind.
Which is that if Goku still had the tail when Raditz arrived on Earth would he be stronger than he is without one?
And if a Super Saiyan possessed a tail would he be stronger?
Both Vegeta and Goku have already lost their tails when they reached the Super Saiyan milestone and even later generations of Saiyans did not have tails when they became Super Saiyan with the exception of one that was considered an abnormaly.
As someone who lives on Earth, Goku being able to become stronger is always a good sign that I would like to see.
