Each part sounds like it's going to be longer than a normal episode.

Well, if they're not particularly hopeful of their ability to go beyond the Cell Saga, I can see them wanting to go out with a bang.

I believe they said the episode would total up to about 90 minutes yes?

Probably shorter. Something like an hour and 10.

If it is the finale it is covering quite a bit

Piccolo calling Goku out

Cell Jr

16's death and Super Saiyan 2

Cell vomits 18 and his blowing up

Gohan vs Super Perfect Cell

Epilogue of cell Saga

Piccoro already called Karrtot out...

Was more talking about the time Piccolo calls him out again and Goku wonders if he might have actually made a mistake.

Pffft, are you implying they aren't going to beat that joke into the ground on how much better of a father Piccolo is than Goku, especially when its most relevant in this arc :V

It's not like it would be the first time a joke repeated and would be at least an actual moment when Goku didn't think things through regarding Gohan.

How things went are irrelevant...

If a single thing goes wrong that hasn't been a problem before suddenly does become a problem, there's no way around that.

Kakarotto's plan involved (Cell's provocation and) Gohand being willing to fighting, from Namek saga onward he totally was...even when he was useless.

So there's no blame on his part...

No there is a big difference between someone fighting when required and assuming they love to fight as much as in this case Goku does.

Also terrible idea to give the enemy a heal when you have no reason to make the fight any harder.

Terrible idea to bet the fate of the planet on an untested power that before then was at most a short rage boost before that point.

It was all around a bad plan and is pretty much the main reason the bad dad Goku joke exists to begin with.

Nah, Karrot didn't assume anything about how Gohand feels about fighting...

Regardless of how he actually felt, he still '"would" have fought otherwise he wouldn't be there...

Yeah, Gohan never needed to enjoy fighting to want to fight Cell and save the world. It's why he was training in the first place!

Healing Cell was a bad idea, but it was because of Goku's confidence in Gohan that he did it. It was also a bad idea for Goku not to tell Gohan beforehand, buuuuuut... Goku really intended to beat Cell if possible. If not, then pbviously it'd fall on one of the others who had been preparing for it. Gohan is one of them.

The only surprise is that Gohan is stronger than Goku, and he would have known that if he actually believed Goku when Goku said how strong he is.

Goku straight up admits he did a bad thing in that scene. There's no need to defend him.

Goku screwed up but it doesn't make him a bad dad/person

And how much he screwed up is ridiculously overblown

Honestly its rather sweet by Saiyan logic.

Goku had so much faith in his son that it didn't matter if Cell was at max-power. His son would have kicked his ass no matter what.

Isn't cell mostly out to show he is better than everyone else in the long run minus his blow up the earth part that doesn't make much sense as an objective?

No, he also mentions he enjoys terrorizing people, he holds the Cell Games to give people a countdown to their demise in addition to wanting to fight Goku at his best.

I am going to guess the terrorizing people comes from his Saiyan and Frezia DNA.
