Rohan's a normal person with a non-superhuman back, though. I don't think Cheap Trick is strong enough to rip Goku's back off if people looked at Goku's back.

Hmmm. Ok. Lets leave cheap trick out for now. Most of the other dudes I mentioned would probably work.

The Hand could totally kill any Dragon Ball character if used right. It's basically a three inch wide Hakai.

Yep, so would Cream since they do the same thing. Grateful Dead could age them to death, Purple Haze could poison them to death.

Why the flying hell are we talking about sixties psych rock, Cheap Trick, and Atom Heart Mother by Pink Floyd (which isn't even a good album)?

I heard Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner, but he knew it couldn't last. Last I heard he left his home in Tuscon, Arizona for some California grass.

We should probably get back to talking about the abridged series at some point.

I hope that when Cell comes back he says he's gone above and beyond Perfect to become "Super Perfect", and Vegeta makes some kind of callback to the "you're either perfect or you're not me." conversation.

But what if he mocks both Vegeta and Tien and calls himself "Maximum Overperfect"?

As for how he'd know about the conversation he wasn't there for...
Because shut up.

Whenever the next episode comes, I'd like for them to allude to the huge hiatus. Like Krillin looks up and says "Jesus, it's felt like he's been beating him up for months."

Eh, those jokes are funny in the moment but they don't age well. The one from the Frieza arc where Krillin's like, "We're STILL on Namek!" was a good way of doing it because it doesn't have to be about the production schedule. When watching the episodes in order through the archive, you can still get a laugh out of it because of how obnoxiously long the Namek arc felt to Dragon Ball fans.

The Cell Games doesn't have the same reputation. It'd be funny right now, but the humor would be lost when the episode's viewed in order with the others.

  • Trunks: Wait, that doesn't make any sense. How can you be Super Perfect?
  • Cell: ...

  • Cell blasts a hole in Trunks.
  • Cell: Like that, smartass.
  • Vegeta: I'm not impressed! I can do that too! Right, boy?! ...boy?
