Towards the end of the game, the Sculptor is transformed into a demon by his lingering resentment, hatred and karmic debt, forcing Wolf to overcome and defeat him.

The viewer expects this trope to appear, as Goku manages to evade all of Roshi's tactics to defeat him. However, despite Goku having managed to succeed to all of Roshi's attempts, Goku lost to him after he was goaded into a final jump-kick, receiving the brunt of the injury. There's also the fact, because Goku didn't know he was fighting Roshi, he never knew how strong his master actually is. There were some hints that Roshi was much more skilled than he lets on in the series, though it became clear that Goku surpassed him by the 22nd World Tournament. This is PlayedForDrama in the King Piccolo Saga. After losing to Piccolo, Goku goes to Korin and asked him to train him again so he can become stronger than Piccolo. Korin can only tell him that he already surpassed him and he can teach him nothing. By the end of the original ''Dragon Ball'', Goku surpassed all his teachers, including Kami. At the beginning of ''Z'', he needs to become stronger than King Kai just to have a remote chance against the Saiyans since they were stronger than him.
