- —Master Roshi to Son Goku and Krillin
Master Roshi (real name unknown) is a protagonist from the Dragon Ball series. He appeared in the 102nd episode of Death Battle, Roshi VS Jiraiya, where he fought against Jiraiya and Gamabunta from the Naruto series.
History
Roshi was once a student who trained under the martial artist Mutaito, and also one of the few who made the harrowing climb to train with wise cat Korin, as well as obtain the Sacred Water. Roshi trained under many more, becoming a truly accomplished fighter in his own right. Even after the death of his original master to seal away the demon King Piccolo, Roshi continued to hone his own skills and created his own style of martial art, eventually opening up his own martial arts school called the Turtle School, teaching techniques such as the famous Kamehameha. The seemingly immortal Roshi would then later encounter his prize pupils who would shape the world today: Krillin, and the more renowned of the two, Son Goku.
