Story

Punta makes it all the way to the main matches at the 25th Tenkaichi Budokai.
He's a towering bully known for his brutality, and he enters the aforementioned tournament to get revenge for an embarrassing out-of-bounds loss he suffered during the semifinals three years prior.

Punta and Krillin face off in the first round.
Upon seeing his opponent's size, he arrogantly taunts Krillin, boasting, "I'll only need 10 seconds for you!"

(Tale 438)

As soon as their match begins, Punta busts out some fancy backflips to intimidate Krillin! He then quips, "See how quick I am, even at my size?!" to his unimpressed opponent.

(Tale 439)

Determined to show off how tough he is, Punta continues to underestimate his opponent by offering him a free hit, saying, "Gimme a wallop. C'mon, don't be shy!" This ends up backfiring, however, as Krillin takes Punta up on his offer and delivers a devastating punch to his midsection!

(Tale 439)

Krillin follows up with some repeated slaps to the face before snuffing out Punta's chance at winning the tournament with an impressive kick that sends the mustachioed fighter flying! Losing two tournaments in a row by a ring out must be rough, especially for an egotistical meanie like Punta...

Trivia

He loves to taunt his opponents, but he's nothing but a "one-shot character"!

Punta hones in on Krillin before their match because he thinks Goku's pal looks weak and incessantly tries to intimidate him with threats like "I'm sendin' you out on a stretcher!" and "You better make out your will."
Krillin takes it all in his stride, however, and calmly responds, "Those lines scream 'one-shot character.'"
Way to go, Krillin!
