The All-Seeing Crone

A Pit Stop and a Reunion

On the way to Fortuneteller Baba's palace, Kuririn and Goku argue about whether her fortune telling is even real. Yamcha takes one look at Goku's tattered Turtle School uniform and insists they stop in a nearby town for a replacement. A shopkeeper first tries him in a loud golfing outfit, which Goku hates on sight, and eventually agrees to sew him a proper gi. To kill time, Goku hops on Kinto-Un and zips back to Korin Tower to collect Upa from his tipi, promising the boy it will be fine even though Upa has never left the mountain's base.

Arriving at the Palace

When Goku returns with Upa, Kuririn at first mistakes the boy for a cute girl before being corrected. Yamcha loses his temper when Goku tries to change out in the open, but the mood settles once the new gi is on. The group finally locates the palace in the middle of nowhere and discovers they are not the only visitors. A Ghost Usher seems strangely thrilled to see them and asks them to wait their turn. Yamcha observes that every other client is a hulking martial artist, and Kuririn quietly prays they all happen to be from the same dojo.

The Fortuneteller's Price

A nervous wealthy couple leaves unharmed, briefly lifting their hopes, until the strong men return battered and groaning. Led inside, they finally meet Fortuneteller Baba. Goku blurts out that her name is strange, and she snaps that it is merely a nickname. When he explains what they are looking for, she quotes a fee of ten million zeni. Yamcha protests that they cannot afford it, and Baba unveils her true offer: beat all five of her champions in her outdoor arena, and she will tell them for free. Kuririn reminds the others that three of them went deep at the last tournament, and the group agrees to fight.
