History Recap / HFILE2

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: When trying to humiliate Cell and establish himself as dominant, Freeza asks Cell which of his genetic sources was a bug man that smells like Petouli. Cell's answer, "Probably Vegeta," actually gets a few chuckles out of the former galactic tyrant.

* BrickJoke: In the beginning, Raditz is filling water jugs, and before they leave for the sharing circle he says he has to feed Guru. In TheStinger, we see Guru drinking from one like a bottle.
* ButtMonkey: Raditz can't catch a break. As shown in a flashback, he didn't make it far on Snake Way before falling off, as shown in ''another'' flashback, he's been used as a giant stretchy toy by Freeza and his men, and Cell laughs at him when he admits to being killed by Piccolo.

-->'''Guru:''' New Nail!? The box is talking again!
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: The whole argument between Freeza and Cell at the end on how unoriginal Cell is compared to Freeza could be easily interpreted as fans of both villains arguing over which one is better.

** The reason why Raditz seems so subdued and no one is trying to escape? The ki suppressors are tracking devices and even if they did escape Hell, there's nowhere to go. Raditz alone tried to escape for years and got nowhere as a result, so he knows that the only way out is through the Ogre's therapy sessions.

* {{Understatement}}: Guru associates his death (which was him being EatenAlive by angry Namekians for causing a genocide) as "Cancel Culture".

* AmbiguouslyGay: Subverted. Burter ends any speculation by outright saying he's "Gay as sunshine."

* TheGhost: Super Kami Guru doesn't show up in the episode itself, only making a brief appearance in TheStinger. When it's his turn in the sharing circle, the ogres contact him via radio.

* RunningGag: One ogre says something in German/an abbreviation, the other translates, and Cell says "Then just say that."

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Freeza and Cell are the only villains privy to the precise details of how Freeza perished. Freeza skirts around the subject when asked, but Cell drops increasing hints that he knows who killed Freeza (beyond "the Super Saiyan"), how he was killed, and [[InsignificantLittleBluePlanet which specific planet]] his death happened on (which Freeza merely refers to as "the planet I deigned to conquer," for the sake of pride).

'''Cell:''' Oh, no, no, no, I’m not trying to ''cut you to pieces'' in front of anyone or anything.\\

* DelayedOhCrap: This is Freeza’s reaction when Cell hints that he knows how he ''really'' died.

Everyone gathers for the sharing circle, which is about how they all died.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Subverted. Burter ends any speculation by outright saying he's "Gay as sunsihne."

* RealityEnsues: Remembering he can regrow lost limbs, Cell tries to cut off the leg with the ki suppressor with a pair of gardening shears. As it turns out, Goz and Mez are not stupid enough to give them the tools to break out that easily.
