History Recap / DragonBallZAbridgedE57

** 16 tells Krillin that the repairs Capsule Corp. performed upon him make him feel "ten kilograms lighter." It's because they removed the bomb Gero placed in him.

* SitcomArchNemesis: Cell is carrying a grudge against Tien, greeting everyone else amicably but unable to conceal his displeasure when he speaks to him. Reasonable, considering he's the only one to attack Cell that Cell never got a chance to return the favour to.

* IdiotHero: Goku continues to march down into this direction as he reasons that Satan goes first because he's the current World Tournament Champion.

* IntrepidReporter: Jimmy Firecracker
-->'''Jimmy Firecracker:''' Jimmy Firecracker here, live from the Cell Games (presented by Hetap). Because apparently nobody else would take this job. But don't worry about me, because Jimmy Fire [[WaxingLyrical crack corn and he don't]] give a [[PrecisionFStrike f*ck]]. He'll take any job, he'll take every job, he'll take ''your job''. And speaking of jobs, nobody else is here yet. Will Jimmy Firecracker have to get in that ring? Does Jimmy Firecracker gotta come down there and [[BrickJoke SLAP that perfect jawline?!]] ''[car drives up]'' It looks like Cell is saved the wrath of Jimmy Firecracker as his first opponent has arrived.

* FoeRomanceSubtext: In addition to Goku once again gushing over Cell, upon finally meeting Goku, Android 16 begins singing about his hatred of Goku to the tune of "[[Music/{{Foreigner}} I Have Waited So Long]]" in his head, which carries on until TheStinger.

* AdultFear: While Chi-Chi clearly states that she is willing to accept Goku dying again, she doesn't want the same to happen to Gohan.

'''Cell:''' Are you sure about this?\\

'''Satan:''' C-can we cut to commercial?

** 16 tells Krillin that the repairs Capsule Corp. performed upon him make him feel "ten kilograms lighter." [[spoiler:It's because they removed the bomb Gero placed in him.]]

* CurbStompBattle: Just like canon, Cell makes short work of Satan. [[spoiler:It's a lot more painful than in the original, leaving a blood smear.]]

* ContinuityNod: Krillin tells Goku that [[Recap/DragonBallZAbridgedE52 the last time he fought Cell]], he ended up getting [[Manga/DragonBall Tambourine'd]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]Both Cell and Tambourine ended up snapping Krillin's neck[[/labelnote]]

* DeathByAdaptation: In the source material, Piiza, Caroni, and Piroshki arrive just before Hercule fights Cell, with the latter two requesting a chance to take Cell on so that Hercule doesn't waste his energy on the fight. After they get easily beaten, they and Piiza spend the rest of the Cell Games arc hanging around Hercule and trying to avoid getting blown away by the massive amounts of energy being thrown around. Here, Cell simply blows up the helicopter they arrive in before they can even land, and, for good measure, what is probably Caroni's charred corpse lands right in front of Mr. Satan. As an interesting fact, Hercule's students were [[CanonForeigner created by Toei]] exclusively for the anime.

** Krillin snarks to Gohan that Cell should take Hercule out quickly and get him out of their collective hair. As this comment came right after Cell obliterated a helicopter filled with three humans right in front of everyone, Gohan disapproves.

* PrecisionFStrike: Jimmy Firecracker's reaction to getting forcefully shoved out of the way by Hercule.

** Mr. Satan is smacked over to a nearby mountain and leaves a trail of blood as he slides down. Implied to have died at the end, next episode reveals he actually survives.

** Goku once again gushes over how [[FoeYay handsome]] Cell is.

** Once again, "Super Dragon Soul" from the ''Anime/DragonBallKai'' soundtrack is used in a "TheDayTheMusicLied"-type scenario, playing as Mr. Satan charges at Cell, only to be launched into a cliff, just like when Krillin jokingly agreed with Gohan that they should help out Goku against Freeza.
