That was a good episode. Cell had me laughing quite a bit.

^^^ Wait... why would Goku have Cell's power during Ginger Town to compare to anyway - given that he was slipping in and out of unconsciousness at that point. Wouldn't it make more sense for them to have a general, but not precise (as Piccolo was surprised at the extent of his improvement, but not the idea that he would have improved in the first place), assessment of how Cell was growing?

I don't remember them only getting brief senses of Cell being established as them being unable to actually get an idea of his power (IIRC, it's only brought up in the context of them being unable to confront him before he hides his power and escapes, though I could be wrong).

Because when they fail to catch Cell, Piccolo says he's probably gotten stronger - he doesn't actually know, which would mean he hasn't felt Cell's full power again.

Also Goku was still sensing what was going on the whole time, apparently.

Vegeta and Trunks had also referred to Cell's ki as being absurdly large / stupendous although that might not mean anything since people do occasionally refer to ki weaker than theirs that way simply because by the standards of the verse they're all pretty OP.

I kinda like how Yamcha's apparently the only person that wasn't included in Cell.

I forget, did Cell include Gohan in its formation?

I can't tell whether or not he does in the abridged version. They didn't mention it in this episode.

Cell didn't include Gohan or Trunks. In the manga, IIRC, Cell was just Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Freeza and Cold.

"He can do the Kamehameha?! Only Goku can do that! And Gohan! And Master Roshi. And Krillin. And Yamcha. And me that one time I tried it out just to see if I could...."

I liked that bit. XD

I thought Gohan didn't learn the Kamehameha until he trains in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with Goku and before then he uses the Masenko. Come to think of it, Gohan really doesn't fight much between Goku vs Frieza and Gohan vs Cell outside of filler (Garlic Jr. is filler afterall.) outside of saving Piccolo from Dr.Gero/Android 20's sneak attack to absorb energy.

[up][up][up] In the episode, Krillin mentions sensing himself. Gohan mentions sensing everyone they know. Except Yamcha.

In the Funimation dub he's mentioned to have the cells from Krillin, Gohan, Nappa, and Tien Shinhan as well.

Yamcha just died too fast for the spybot to track his power.

And Gero wasn't able to make a robot who could penetrate the walls of non-continuity surrounding Christmas Tree of Might.

Dr. Gero could have gotten data on Yamcha after he came back to life, but assumed that including Yamcha might make Cell weaker.

[up][up][up]How could he have Nappa's DNA? What, did Gero give him a mustache trim? Did one of Nappa's deep-fried remains land near his lab? Did Funi just throw that in to explain why Cell can do one of Nappa's moves in some filler episode?

Well hey as far as the anime is concerned Nappa's DNA could have been from some blood that was spilled from any of the various injuries he took.

I thought Gero had, like, a robot mosquito thing or something that was collecting samples by drinking the fighters' blood?

Something like that? No?

It flew around and collected cells (as well as recorded footage) but it wasn't shown directly picking them up from the fighters or anything. To be discreet it probably just scraped stuff off the ground.

It'd make Cell more vulnerable to getting Saibaman'd.
