Tenkaichi Budoukai


-------------------------------------------------------
This section will explain and tell you everything about Tenkaichi Budoukai
-------------------------------------------------------
First, an explaination of the name "Tenkaichi Budoukai.
"Tenkaichi Budoukai" is written completely in kanji; if we separate the romaji according to each kanji, it would look like this:
"Ten Ka Ichi Bu Dou 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
Ka - Beneath, under
Ichi - (Number) One
Bu - Martial Arts, fighting technique
Dou - 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.

"Budou" means martial arts, or "the way (art) of fighting."
Putting the rest together, a fairly concise translation of "Tenkaichi Budoukai" would be "The World's Best Martial Artist Tournament."

Note: In all the tournaments to follow, Mr. Satan is the champion, while Mr.Buu is the runner-up...Basically Mr. Satan cheats in letting Mr.Buu fight with everyone else first, and then to throw the match to Mr.Satan.
