World Martial Arts Tournament Theme - Mezase Tenkaichi

[@SpanishSebas]

Today, March 8th, 2024, the world recieved the news that Akira Toriyama, creator of Dragon Ball and Dr. Slump, died a few days ago. I've seen all the comments you've posted presenting your respects to him on this video and others on my channel. Reading those comments has made me want to join you guys, so I would like to share some thoughts on the matter. It's been almost 13 years since I've uploaded this video. Time surely flies. When I uploaded it, I was a teenager obsessed with Dragon Ball. Today, I'm 29 years old, a boring job and studying a degree in History. And while nowadays I'm not very interested in Super and other new Dragon Ball content, I can't deny that Dragon Ball, and by extension its creator A. Toriyama, had a huge impact in my life, the friends I made along the way and many of my hobbies and passions. It's sad to think that this incredible and imaginative mind is no longer among us. That's why I wanted to join all of you and say: Thank you, Mr. Toriyama. Your work will live forever both on the pages of your manga, the frames of the anime and in the hearts of every man and woman that grew up with the adventures of Son Goku. Rest in Peace.

[@sarcasticsuperjerk18]

It’s amazing you came back to this to say that, this video is my go-to when I want to listen to this song. R.I.P. Toriyama

[@SpanishSebas]

Thank you. It means a lot to me that something I made a long time ago just for fun and to show my passion for one of my favouirte series still makes others happy. Take care ^^​@@sarcasticsuperjerk18

First thing I did after finding out about the news was go here, glad it's still up after 12 years. Fly high Toriyama.

[@lukamaruigi5207]

well spoken my friend, I remember watching your video as a teenager too, Dragonball has been accompanying me for my whole life, we are around the same age. Again thank your for your upload, thank your Toriyama for making my and your childhood as awesome as we can recall. Cheers

[@DangleBlampy]

It's a great series, before they added space, a literal last ditch effort series are known for adding when they can't think of anything else to add. Notice how as soon as z starts, the whole earth ends up just feeling so small. No longer do we get fun adventures around the world dealing with fun dynamic problems, now we have Goku and pals fighting with the powers of gods flying around the planet in half a second and fighting in wastelands.

[@ChefMonke07]

Really? I actually prefer the 21st. Gokū and Kuririn learned a valuable lesson from Muten Roshi in that arc. That same lesson went on to shape their entire character for the rest of the story. Kuririn gained confidence from the fact that he can even be considered strong even if he's not the top dog, while Gokū learned humility by knowing that there will always be someone's stronger. I genuinely love how that arc sets up the main character and his best friend. It's beautiful writing. Although, the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai does have the Turtle School saving a young man's soul from utter corruption by the Crane School so it's still a really good arc. I just prefer the 21st.

[@erichfiedler1481]

The 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai is the best in my opinion, it had the highest stakes at the time, seeing several of our favorite characters all grown up (especially Goku) as well as so many epic fights, and even Goku finally proposing to Chi-Chi

I legitimately - and will forever be upset - that not only did the dub NEVER GET Mezase Tenkaichi - but the Tournament of Power never brought a remixed version of this song back. Ultimate Battle was nice, but this song would have been amazing, especially refreshed with the ToP fighters.

[@ZeBenko]

I absolutely agree with you on the dub. I think it was a major misstep on FUNimation's part. Although, that's more or less a problem I have with their dub of the series in general. In that, not only did they remove Mesaze Tenkaichi, but ALL insert songs. From Dragon Ball Densetsu, to Wolf Hurricane and even Aoki Tabibito-tachi, not a single insert song makes it in, outside of Mezase Tenkaichi being played as an instrumental occasionally. I have a bit of a hard time understanding your latter take, though. By that metric, wouldn't you be just as disappointed that it wasn't used during the 23rd, 25th and 28th Tenkaichi Budokai's in the original series'? I think it would be a cool idea, was just curious what you thought about the other tournaments not doing the same thing and why it's, specifically, the Tournament of Power.

The fact they didn't bring this one back for Trunks vs Goten in the Buu Saga is criminal

[@hibikikyu]

The heart of Dragon Ball has long been lost by that point.

[@hibikikyu]

What I'm saying is that Dragon Ball was once a action comedy story about Goku meeting new different people and unique fighters, becoming stronger, going to tournaments, and fighting the bad guys, while also searching the dragon balls, but by the time of the Buu Saga, it has been something else for a while, it turned into a pure action show with a repetitive story where only Saiyans matter and the earthlings became useless. New bad guy shows up and wants to destroy the earth->Goku's friends are in trouble->Goku appears to save the day, rinse and repeat, that's every arc in DBZ. At least OG Dragon Ball had a story, unique fighters, techniques and fights, and Goku's friendship with his group felt genuine, unlike in DBZ where Goku barely interact with them.

[@oliveiradmdiogo]

@@hibikikyu The earthlings were always useless if you really think about it

[@hibikikyu]

@@oliveiradmdiogo Kinda, but they used to be more more useful and important in OG Dragon Ball. Krillin was Goku's best friend who started out as a mischievous weak kid, Yamcha was Bulma's boyfriend who started out as a bandit, Roshi was the teacher who would enter the tournaments in disguise to test his students, Tenshinhan was a student from Roshi's rival who and became Goku's biggest opponent before the King Piccolo Arc, and then there were also Tao Pai Pai, General Blue, Red Ribbon Army as a whole, Yajirobe, Nam, and Upa. Krillin started as a weakling and managed to become strong enough to pose a challenge to Goku and Piccolo Jr, Yamcha gave Tenshinhan a good fight, Roshi gave Goku an important lesson after barely defeating him, that there were also going to be stronger folks out there in the world, which would make Goku more determined to become stronger. But in DBZ, you get none of that, the only useful earthling is Krillin. Yamcha became a background character and Tenshinhan only gets one moment to shine.

[@Fall-oo6mt]

Gotta be honest. I love where Dragon Ball is today. Yes, that includes loving GT and Super. Idk, the series just manages to entice me so much. But the OG can't be beaten. Z and the others just don't have the same vibe.

[@mangooleh]

Thank you Mr. Toriyama.

1:22 This part captures the soul of DBZ, so good 🤩

[@balboatarandino]

NOT Z DAMN

[@-N.S.G-]

This is not DBZ

[@samsjourneyagainstearth64]

Welcome to the Strongest under the Heavens Tournament, Tenkaichi Budokai!!! Such an awesome and badass name for a tournament .

[@skullrealm4788]

These early tournaments are really special because in those days it was very rare for a main character to lose and goku faced consecutive losses in early db. Actually, if you look at the whole series then you'll notice goku never had a major victory but somehow everyone complains about goku having the spotlight.

[@sensha5470]

He literally doesn’t win any close battles until *piccolo* (who he beats twice). Every other win was one sided.

[@CulturedGamerGuy3595]

This should've been an opening 🔥🔥

[@dracomunoz8296]

Descansé en paz Maestro Akira Toriyama

[@krilkaazzoor9281]

god i LOVE this era of music!!!

[@josh07698]

It really sucks that Toriyama cared way more about power levels and how they work rather than furthering the development of the characters we fell in love with initially.

[@supermysticsonic2]

What?

[@icewarrior4665]

***** I like tien

[@DBZAOTA482]

Josh Ochs To be fair, he introduced the concept to basically prove they're worthless.

[@DBZAOTA482]

***** I wasn't trying to be funny.

[@DBZAOTA482]

***** The comment was aimed at power levels themselves, not the characters.

[@Lyr1s_1-1]

rest in piece legend..

[@animeboy200p2]

Rest in peace Akira toriyama we miss you

[@iuri9161]

2:17 best dragon ball fight of all time!!!

[@Kyleplier]

Gotta love older anime. The insert songs are often 🔥 AF. The 2 best from Dragon Ball are this and the Red Ribbon Army insert IMO.

[@WumboJumbo96]

I agree those are great but what about Day of Destiny Spirit vs Spirit?

[@Kyleplier]

@@WumboJumbo96 I had to look it up. I didn’t realize that’s the name of the song during Gohan’s transformation into Super Saiyan 2. It’s a song that moves me to tears. Especially since it’s an extremely emotional moment for Gohan. Gohan x Videl is my all-time favorite coupling in Dragon Ball. It’s the most natural and realistic romance in the entire franchise. A genuine Slice of Life arc in the series. As I absolutely cannot stand ChiChi. Not only was her and Goku’s marriage a literal shotgun wedding minus the shotgun. My hatred of her really festered after the Saiyan Arc. Here be Goku, every bone in his body broken, nearly dead, and Gohan is merely unconscious and far less injured. In fact he passed out not from his injuries, but from exhaustion. Yet she was ignoring him and speaking ill of him. Like Yajirobe, I wanted to reach into that scene and slug her.

[@downd.stairs2874]

this is hardest it has took me to find a song i kept searching what it had in the lyrics but nothing until now it showed up in my recommended FINALLY!!!!!

[@thetower8577]

Such a badass theme for a tournament.

[@emmanueladhiseno4908]

I've been looking for this music for almost 1 year. And finalyyyy... Finalyyy I found thissss!!!! I'm really happy!!!

[@dubisbetterthansub5254]

Bruce Lee’s *Enter the Dragon* started the trope of an international martial arts tournament that is present in so many other martial arts-based media; Dragon Ball, Bloodsport, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, etc. La pelícuela *Enter the Dragon / Operación Dragón* empezó el tropo de un torneo internacional de artes marciales lo que vemos en muchas otras franquias; Dragon Ball, Bloodsport, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, y otros.

[@albertorodriguez3792]

Goku vs Piccolo jr best fight ever

“Timmy that’s the 5th time your dad died this week”

[@TheLuconic]

Back when dragon ball was all about still, training, technique with some power scaling to really add excitement. Now days it’s only power-scaling, we’ll overpowering and nothing else. Very sad…..

[@bradyexe3238]

Rest in peice Akira toriyama

[@callump1996]

Imagine the level of goosebumps if this song started to play during Goku's little warm-up after taking off his boots, black shirt and wristbands during his rematch with Tien.

[@ghostdude45]

I really wish they had repurposed/rearranged this song for the Cell Games first match up. Would have been a PHENOMENAL opener for Goku vs Cell's warm-up.

[@theultimatetrashman887]

the start of the theme sounds like AU diego brando's theme and damn is it good.

[@brunosantos2019]

Música maravilhosa. Só lembranças boas!

[@jaydenanimeart2440]

I love this song!!! I don’t know why but I always feel good after listening to it for some reason😂

[@dilardo]
