Deadly Battle

Yamcha's fight against See-Through the Invisible Man starts badly and only gets worse. Unable to see his opponent, Yamcha takes hit after hit until he shifts his strategy and begins relying entirely on sound. By listening for footsteps and breathing, he starts to turn the fight around, landing blows on the bewildered invisible fighter.

Krillin and the others amplify the advantage by cheering loudly for See-Through, goading the Invisible Man into responding verbally and giving away his position. Yamcha capitalizes, connecting with solid strikes. But Fortuneteller Baba counters by singing an ear-splitting song, her voice so terrible that it drowns out all other sound. See-Through resumes his assault while Yamcha staggers, disoriented by the noise.

Krillin sends Goku to fetch Master Roshi and Bulma. When they arrive, Krillin executes his plan: he pulls down Bulma's shirt in front of the perverted turtle hermit, causing a massive nosebleed. The blood drenches See-Through, making him fully visible. Yamcha wastes no time, quickly defeating his now-exposed opponent. With three of Baba's fighters remaining, the group moves on to their next arena: the ominous Devil's Toilet.

The plan to reveal See-Through using Master Roshi's nosebleed is peak early Dragon Ball comedy. It is crude, absurd, and completely effective. Krillin's quick thinking under pressure shows that his value to the group goes beyond fighting ability.

Yamcha's decision to fight by sound alone demonstrates real tactical awareness. His ability to adapt mid-battle, shifting from visual to auditory combat, reveals growth from the impulsive desert bandit he once was.

Baba's singing is both hilarious and genuinely menacing as a counter-strategy. She understands that Yamcha's hearing is his only advantage and deliberately neutralizes it. The back-and-forth of tactics makes this one of the most strategically layered fights in the saga.

The transition to the Devil's Toilet introduces a new, more dangerous fighting arena. Unlike the lakeside stage, this chamber features deadly acid below the platform, raising the stakes considerably for the battles ahead.

Baba's willingness to interfere in her own tournament by singing reveals that she is not simply a neutral referee. She is an active participant who bends the rules to protect her fighters, adding an unpredictable element to every remaining match.
