[up]Well, he has an awesome moment coming. Then it's back to the sidelines. I can see it now. Tien holding down Cell while 18 sits their watching it.

They really aren't being subtle with Cell and 18 are they...

I can't see the new episode on their site with this labtop I'm now using. I'll wait for youtube.

[up][up]Imperfect Cell is an immature child. I doubt he even knows the meaning of the word subtle.

I thought the opening seemed different.

I hope they depart from canon and bring 16 back in some way after his death.

When he said he was 10% of Goku's DNA, I assume what he meant was that 10% of what makes him him is Goku DNA.

The distended chests have been hilarious. Cell's four teeth as well.

I gotta say, though I like the Megas XLR soundtrack, I feel they use it too much.

Not going to lie, had the warm and fuzzies over Android 16 being the catalyst behind 17 and 18's Heel–Face Turn.

Favorite gag of the episode was 16 affirming that he was an Android when Cell tried to absorb him, and Cell's subtle Oh, Crap! response.

To quote some great lines:

Walk towards it!

That's one of those lines you wish you could have come up with yourself, but is hard to set up in context.

Nail gu-

Oh. Gotta be a little faster there Big green.evil grin

No he wouldn't! And he's smarter than I am!

Ouch. Being out'logiced by Goku. You know, that part makes me think that rathe than making things worse for Goku and Gohan, they might actually improve their relationship. Who knows, maybe they'll have Goku straight up tell Gohan he's stronger and that if he can't win, Gohan will need to do it.

17 and 18 both giving the same reasons about why they are staying is kinda funny. 16 using the fact that Cell has some of Goku's DNA as an excuse to wreck him is something I always assumed was canon (though it's more my own fanon then anything else), and Chi-Chi still gets to bring the logical option.

I'm looking forward to next week, though I'm also expecting Semi-Perfect Cell to have a really stupid sounding voice.

Well they did give a sample of what his voice would sound like, and they did say it'd basically be that he had a bag of dicks in his mouth, so pretty much just imagine Murderface.

Be funny if they go with his voice sounding like 17 for a bit before settling.

Of piss them off by giving a Hope Spot of 17's voice Fighting from the Inside before he reveals 17 is gone.

He pulled that trick in the source, after all.

But yeah, we already know what to expect.

EDIT: Oh god, just noticed they used Smoochum's cry for Semi-perfect Cell in the after credits gag.

Thats what it was, that was killing me.

Also scyther's for Imperfect Cell. I hope that's a Brick Joke when he becomes Perfect.

They could do what they did with Nappa the Executive Producer in Season 2.

Two Androids Play?

17 and 18 both giving the same reasons about why they are staying is kinda funny.

While I already liked both of them since the aftermath of their first fight with Vegeta, this episode really made me think they were... cool. Seriously, though, it was a nice showing for them - even if they make bad decisions, it's because they ultimately are who they are.

It's especially funny because the original has both of them, especially 18, standing around doing jack shit for no reason while everyone constantly tells them to run away.

Of piss them off by giving a Hope Spot of 17's voice Fighting from the Inside before he reveals 17 is gone.

I believe he does that in the anime (I don't remember whether he also does in the manga - and I don't have the exact book on me atm). Depending on how they feel about it, TFS might throw that in.

17 and 18's Heel–Face Turn was so great. They really needed that. We know they're not the same people from the HOT future. At least, not really.

It's going to make Krillin deciding not to kill 18 make more sense.

In fact, that's what I've noticed TFS does. They look at the things that make no sense in character, and they provide explanations for it.

I thought it was funny that 16 gave the same reason to them as to why he wasn't doing anything.

Kaiser just confirmed on Kanzenshuu that Cell isn't going to hear 17 and 18's voices in his head, like Piccolo.

Thank god. That was one of those jokes everyone seemed to want, but I thought it would be too much.

I love how Kaiser, Kirran and Lani love Online's lore as much as I do.

Everyone becomes a teacher.

I love their reaction to Neo Ginyu Force.

I'm glad they won't do that with Cell. It's really out of place there.

The only way I could see 17 and 18 being in Cell's head not being a bit too much of a tension breaker would be if they instead played it as something very terrifying and tragic instead. Which would probably be a bit too much in the opposite direction for them.

Holy audio desync, Batman!

Dumplin 29 was still good, despite that, though.

Nappa becoming the new Ginyu is a cool idea. He is a Saiyan, after all. Just gotta level grind him for a while.

I have a message from another time...
