Once the young Turtle training under the Mutaito Training Academy, Master Roshi was once known as Earth's "God of Martial Arts", having been the first human to ever climb Korin Tower and being hundreds of years old thanks to his phoenix immortality. Training other legends like Ox King and Grandpa Gohan, his skill is only matched by his perversion. After Son Goku rescued his turtle friend, who at the time was the only other thing living on his small island, he allowed Goku to become his most recent pupil, picking up Krillin on the way after he brought Launch to his island. After eight months of training not only their bodies, but their young minds, he ordered the two to join the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament, joining himself under the name "Jackie Chun" in order to assure that even if they were to win the semi-finals, they would learn the message that there's always someone stronger. Easily besting Yamcha, Krillin, and Nam, he was almost defeated by Goku when the night turned and he became the horrible Oozaru. Standing no chance against the monster itself, he aimed a full power Kamehameha to the moon itself. With both warriors completely exhausted, he challenged the boy to end it in one kick, using his longer legs to his advantage. Following some shenanigans against the Red Ribbon Army and his sister Baba, he entered the tournament once more, this time in order to help change his rival Shen's students, Tien and Chiaotzu. At first evenly matched with Tien, he ultimately forfeited the match, believing Tien to not only be a better match for Goku and Krillin, but that they could teach him the lesson he needed. Having finally raised three fighters capable of surpassing him, he officially stepped down as a fighter, especially after a failed battle against King Piccolo, only stepping back into martial arts when the entire universe needed him. |
