"The Fourth Match" (第４試合, Dai-Yon Shiai; Viz "Monster Smash") is the thirty-ninth chapter of the Dragon Ball manga.
Summary
The next battle is revealed to be Gokū versus Monster Giran. As Gilan enters the ring, Gokū is nowhere to be found. As everyone scrambles to find the young boy's whereabouts, he is found to be sleeping and arrives to the match late, much to everyone's bewilderment.
As the battle commences, Giran lands a strong attack on Gokū, but the young boy is shown to be unaffected by the hit, much to the monster's surprise. Gokū then retaliates by landing a critical blow to Giran and throwing him out of the ring to attain victory, but this fails as the monster simply uses his wings to fly back and avoid a ring out.
As Gokū is determined to win the fight, Giran uses his salivation to restrain Gokū's movements, putting the young boy in a difficult predicament.
