It IS really hard to imagine that the bug thingy from earlier, this big brutish idiot, and his stupid perfect form are all the same guy. At least Frieza's forms don't change too much in voice and are still recognizable in appearance.

Aw man, this episode was awesome.

I think my favourite thing was Goku's reaction to Vegeta. It explains a lot. Is that how everyone hears Vegeta?

Also, geez, Goku was surprisingly Genre Savvy in this episode. And actually kind of awesome. "Oh, and Cell? You're gonna die." *teleports away*

And Tenshinhan was amazing. "Kiko f*** yourself!"

That basically is how everyone hears Vegeta.

It's how I hear Vegeta.

At times it seems like it's how Toriyama hears Vegeta. It's almost definitely how Toei hears Vegeta.

I bet it's even how Vegeta hears Vegeta at some points. He just rambles whatever comes to mind as long as it includes his buzzwords.

...On another note, I don't think I liked how Popo said "he dead" this time.

It made me a little uncomfortable. Felt slightly racist.

I mean. Granted, given the fact that Mr. Popo's design exists. And Semi-Perfect Cell's design. It's not the worst thing.

Still. I don't think I agree with their decisions in writing that, or Lani's in voicing it.

Really? I hear "he dead" all the time regardless of speaker's race. It's not that uncommon a shortened phrase.

[up]*6: For a while I had the theory that TFS Cell, while not getting any less sadistic or gluttonous in nature, would get less immature and more controlled as he transformed, since Imperfect Cell reminds me of a teenager half the time.

I think part of it is Lani's delivery.

I dunno. It stood out to me this time. More than the slightly uncomfortable background racism that usually accompanies Mr. Popo.

I doubt it was deliberate, I just wish they'd been slightly more careful and consistent with Popo's performance.

Yeah, you could make a game out of his buzzwords.

Superior, inferior, pride, low-class, warrior, prince, Saiyan, elite, super-elite, super Saiyan, super-elite super Saiyan... Get a few more, and you could string together a good game of Vegeta Bingo.

I feel like that whole Super Saiyan speech he gives Frieza in the abridged version just wins instantly.

You could make a bingo game with that speech alone.

He almost repeated it word for word in this episode!

I loved "chill yourself before you kill yourself" and "oh, and Cell? You're gonna die". That was delivered so well.[lol]

I thought he sounded kinda Freeza, actually.

I loved episode 48, it was amazing. My favourite moments are definitely Goku telling Cell he's going to die and how Vegeta sounds from Goku's point of view, which as unnoun said is how most people probably hear Vegeta. Semi-Perfect Cell is definitely proving to be funny, that's for sure.

I do like that Team Four Star has Tien basically throwing a giant tantrum because he's not as powerful as the Saiyans or Piccolo and never will be, it'll certainly be interesting to see how he develops further.

That was pretty good, even if it seemed a bit rushed.

Also, I did not expect that from Goku.

Well Goku has his breaking points.

Recall how serious he got when he went Super Saiyan.

When you pushed the right button, Nice Goku tags out, even if silly Goku never does.

[up] Of course, then he had to say "I'm going to break you...like a Kit Kat Bar."

But serious Goku is really, REALLY cool when it happens. After all, O.O.C. Is Serious Business.

Not that silly Goku isn't great, too.

I loved this episode. Cell asking Tien if Krillin was busy, Tien gets to be badass, Goku forgot his powers, Chiaoutzu's snark, Goku telling Cell he's going to die... there's a lot of good stuff in this episode.

Hell, not spoke. Was seen onscreen?
