Master Roshi: As the horde invaded the temple, the young fighters banded together for a final assault. Though hopelessly outnumbered, they were united. And with their combined strength, they offered a formidable defense. Many demons fell that day, and along side them, even more great men...
Master Roshi: His name may sound funny, but I can assure you... There's nothing humerous about that savage beast! With him came darkness and chaos. His minions of terror wreaked havoc upon the land, destroying all in their path with indiscriminate fury...
Master Roshi: This is... this is the crest of King Piccolo. All: King Piccolo? Launch: Piccolo? Someone actually admits to having that name?
Master Roshi: (after Goku takes the Dragonball Rader) Goku, wait! Come back here! Stop! (Goku continues running) Master Roshi:That's an order!
Tournament Announcer: It was a monster! A hideous monster! It took a strange ball covered with stars and a list of the Martial Arts Society. Yamcha: A Dragonball and names?!
Goku: Poor Krillin... he's dead.
