Tenkaichi Budoukai
Just what is The Tenkaichi Budoukai? The Tenkaichi Budoukai is a martial arts competition involving the Best Martial Artist in the world. But just what does Tenkaichi Budoukai mean? Tenkaichi Budoukai is written completely in kanji; if we serparate the romaji according to each kanji, it would look like this: "Ten Kai Chi Bu Dou Kai". Heres a word by word explaination:
Ten - Sky, Heaven
Kai - Beneath, Under
Chi - (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".
