The 3-minute clip shows Gohan dressed in a slightly modified version of his Great Saiyaman outfit. The warrior has come to Bulma for help as he needs a way to disguise himself for the World Martial Arts tournament. The half-human will need to ditch his helmet, and Bulma helps the poor boy whip up a rather exotic disguise. But, judging by Trunk’s salty look, it doesn’t seem like the camouflage works all that well.
The clip goes on to feature the series’ main characters, Vegeta and Goku. The former says he wants to test a theory of his and decides to join the martial arts tournament as well. As for Goku, the off-planet warrior uses King Kai to send a message to his son and friends to tell them he’s in for the event as well.
