The Full Moon Grudge

A Grudge From Years Ago

The announcer reminds the crowd that Jackie Chun took the previous tournament and introduces Man-Wolf, whose lycanthropic change once required the light of a full moon. Jackie struggles to place this snarling stranger until Man-Wolf spits out the reason for his fury: Jackie obliterated the moon during the last Tenkaichi Budokai, stranding him in his wolf body and wrecking his chances with human women. Jackie cheerfully suggests he settle for a wolf girlfriend, but Man-Wolf snaps that he cannot stand hairy women.

Toying With the Wolfman

The match begins and Man-Wolf lunges with wild claw swipes, but Jackie slips under them, vaults over a follow-up, and kicks him cleanly in the back of the head. From the audience Krillin notices that Tien and Chiaotzu are hovering above the ground, and Goku stares in awe at the floating technique. Jackie grows so bored of the rematch that he turns to ogle a pretty spectator, dodging Man-Wolf's charges with barely a glance. When Man-Wolf draws a concealed knife, the announcer calls it a foul, but Jackie simply plucks the blade from him, swings him off of it, and plants the knife in the wall beside him.

A Bone, A Bind, A Transformation

Jackie offers to restore his humanity and pulls a bone from his pocket, tossing it outside the ring. Instinct takes over and Man-Wolf races after it, earning a ring out. Still raging, the wolfman charges back into the arena, only for Jackie to freeze him with a binding technique. With no moon on hand, Jackie calls Krillin over and uses hypnosis to make the little monk's shiny bald head resemble the full moon from the beast's perspective. The illusion works and Man-Wolf reverts to human form, overjoyed. He sprints off to chase women, leaving Jackie privately thinking the wolf face was the better look. The announcer then calls Chiaotzu against the full-moon-headed Krillin.
