Arqua
Arqua is matched against Goku in the third round of the Other World Tournament, where he is met with a rough start. Shortly into the match, Arqua transforms the arena into a water environment, giving him somewhat of an advantage in the battle. However, with his strategy combining the Solar Flare and Kamehameha techniques, Goku is able to launch Arqua out of the ring and emerge victorious. After his defeat, Arqua is scolded by East Kai for allegedly ruining her reputation and is ordered to run 1,000 laps around Grand Kai's Mansion. Goku confesses he is impressed with Arqua's abilities (as opposed to his previous opponent) and proposes they one day have a rematch, imposing some joy in the usually melancholy Arqua until East Kai yells at him once again.
Arqua makes an appearance with numerous other fighters surrounding King Kai, Yamcha, and Krillin when the three are following Goku's battle against Kid Buu via King Kai's telepathy.[1]
