Tenkaichi Boudaki
Ten - Sky, Heaven
Ka - Beneath, under
Ichi - [Number] One
Bu - Martial Arts, fighting technique
Dou - Way of
Kai - Meeting
"Tenka" (Under heaven) is used to refer to "the world," as everything in this world is beneath the skies / under heaven.
"Budou" means martial arts, or "the way (art) of fighting."
Putting the rest together, a fairly concise translation of "Tenkaichi Budoukai" would be "The World's Best Martial Artist Tournament."
The 21st Tenkaichi Budoukai:
Champion: Jackie Chun (Kamesennin)
Runner-up: Goku
The 22nd Tenkaichi Budoukai:
Champion: Tien
Runner-up:Goku
The 23rd Tenkaichi Budoukai:
Champion: Goku
Runner-up: Ma Junior (Piccolo)
The Cell Game:
Champion: Gohan
The 24th Tenkaichi Budoukai:
Champion: Mr. Satan
The 25th Tenkaichi Budoukai:
Adult Division Champion: Mr. Satan
Adult Division Runner-up: No. 18
Children Division Champion: Chibi Trunks
Children Division Runner-up: Son Goten
In all the tournaments to follow, Mr. Satan is the champion, while Mr. Buu is the runner-up.. Basically Mr. Satan cheats in letting Mr. Buu fight with everyone else first, and then to throw the match to Mr. Satan.
