Imagine how impressive Mr. Satan would be in Dragonball era. Goku and such would still beat him, but I could see him getting in a good showing.

Considering what happens in Super, this episode has a really bittersweet tone to it.

Wise of Trunks not to tell his mom that he got one shotted by Cell in the past.

@ Prime: He's definitely a competent martial artist by ordinary human standards. It's just the Power Creep in DBZ that makes him a joke.

[up][up][up] Oh I know! I do think he'd still be a joke in original series though. Even without power creep, Goku and such early on are stronger than him. He's someone who would boast a big game and get taken down easily by Goku or whoever, like many of the other fighters back then.

I kind of wish Trunks just teleported behind her and snapped her neck, that's it.

[up]In the manga it basically was that simple (change neck snap with energy blast to the face).

Edit: Sow what he did just now, without the run around.

@ Great: Hey, if not for Hercule being a credit stealer, the Buu Saga might've turned out a whole lot differently.

@ Rynnec: Tell me about it. Really takes away from any sense of accomplishment one gets from this episode. sad

I also believed 17 & 18 became better people cause they were never humbled by Cell's assault, brutality & adorbson of them. Though Gero prolly turned them on time too not early.

Shouldn't Trunks have checked Gero's lab for Cell? Even if Cell might've already hatched, it couldn't hurt to look.

@ Rynnec: For everything up until the final episode of the arc, I'd wholly agree with you. For Trunks, Mai, and the entire future timeline in said final episode? Uh...

"I am the Ultimate Life Form."

Cell confirmed as lead character designer for Shadow the Hedgehog.

... Wait, they're actually fast forwarding through the Other World Tournament despite it being filler?

[down] Super Kaio-ken was pretty boss. Actually, the entire final battle with Goku and Pikkon wasn't too shabby.

I preferred it when Trunks was single or at the very least not to have Mai of all people as a gf.

Excellent clipshow ending & hey the otherworld tournament is canon. I should re-watch it some day now.

Future Trunks entered the series with a curbstomp, and he left with a curbstomp. Very symmetric.
