Make sure your beam vaporizes him this time!

Burn the corpse and throw holy water on the remains while you're at it. For good measure.

Rare footage of Vegeta actually mourning someone's loss.

I'm not sure which looks more painful between that attack from Cell or 18's kick to Vegeta's arm.

[up][up] Oh, don't you worry, my friend. Don't you worry.

[down] Oh, it is, but on the other hand, it does lead to Gohan atomizing Cell with the Father-Son Kamehameha.

Say, remember when Goku atomized everything above Cell's waist? How did his all-important cluster of head cells allow him to regenerate from that?

Kind of sad how even when mourning the loss of his son, Vegeta still describes his anger in terms of that ol' Saiyan pride.

You know, watching this again as an adult without the Nostalgia Filter, the Cell Saga really does pile on the bullshit.

This was my favorite arc as a kid, but rewatching all of this again as an adult, I think DBZ peaked with Freeza.

I actually do like that everything with Cell's return was pure luck, he admitted as much, and just making the best of good fortune.

Some of it is bullshit, yes, but at least it wasn't a Xanatos Roulette.

Right. At least Cell acknowledges that this is a steaming pile of bullshit that worked handsomely in his favor.

[down][down] I'd have to agree with the Cell Saga being my favorite, though all three sagas had their moments for sure.

[up][up][up]Frieza was my favorite arc, bar none. With the exception of Vegito/Buu, no fight has ever been as awesome to me as Super Saiyan Goku humiliating Frieza.

[up][up]Even the luck doesn't make sense, though. His head nucleus was destroyed by Goku's Instant Transmission Kamehameha, and he still regenerated.

A brilliant writer Toriyama is not, but I still like the whole Cell Saga the most out of anything in the series.

It is pretty funny how he admit he pretty much bullshited his own survival too. Not to many villains will admit to that so give him props.

Also I haven't seen this show in a while so I forgot exactly what the fuck was up with Gohan's arm in the last leg of the fight. I can't believe it was due to trying to save Vegeta of all people.

I do like this last version of Cell, just for taking the combination of namekian regenetation and saiyan death boosts to their logical terrifying extreme.

They could've explained his survival better tho.

Wasn't the whole nucleus thing a Woolseyism and the original explanation a typical From a Single Cell deal?

Even the thing about his core surviving Goku blowing away everything above his waist could be hand waved away with him just saying he can move it throughout his body and did so, before Goku hit him.

He didn't but that's an easy, if maybe somewhat cheap, explanation.

[up]Nope, the exact opposite, in fact.

[down]Frieza was apparently still alive even after Trunks cut him to bits. I could buy Cell inheriting that.

I'm going to go with every cell in Cell's body is a regeneration core. Because hey, Frieza could survive severe dismemberment.

It's not Dub Text. I'm looking at the manga right now. He references the cluster of cells in his head needing to be intact.

Edit: as long as some pieces remain intact, even if they're microscopic.

Now for the TIE: how can a planet just explode like that? Planets are stable because they're gravitationally bound and held up by internal degeneracy pressure. It takes a tremendous amount of energy to blow a planet apart.

The explanation the old Funi dub gave for Cell surviving Goku's attack was the Trope Namer for From a Single Cell, which obviously works a lot better.
