In the forest, Goku meets Mousse and is taken to the woodsman's home. Upon hearing his story, Mousse and his family tells Goku about Yaochun, the strongest man around. The grandfather of the family, Korinto, leads Goku to Yaochun who was meditating near a river. Goku asks Yaochun for a fight, to which Yaochun agrees. Despite his large body and strong appearance Yaochun proved to be much weaker than Goku and was quickly defeated, much to Goku's disappointment.
