Tenkaichi Budokai Means...
"Tenkaichi Budokai" is written completely in kanji; if we separate the romaji according to each kanji, it would look like this: "Ten Kai Chi Bu Do Kai"
For those with even rudimentry Japanese, you should be able to recognize that "Ichi" means "one." Here's a word-by-word translation:
Ten - Sky, Heaven Kai - Beneath, under Chi - (Number) One Bu - Martial Arts, fighting technique Do - Way of Kai - Meeting
"Tenka" (Under heaven) is used to refer to "the world," as everything in this world is beneath the skies / under heaven.
"Budo" means martial arts, or "the way (art) of fighting."
Putting the rest together, a fairly concise translation of "Tenkaichi Budokai" would be "The World's Best Martial Artist Tournament."
