I'm not sure which joke I like more between 16 "Senzu heals physical wounds", Goku the fighting genius, and Cell impression of Trunks. Great episode.

What was the track playing when Trunks a cell started fight?

The part of the episode was obviously all of Cell's trash talking.

The best part was Krillin ragging on Vegeta.

The thing I think I like most about the part where Cell explains why Trunks's form won't work and that "anyone can do it" is that it subtly foreshadows the fact that Perfect Cell later makes the exact same mistake against Gohan.

I love the "No one will remember you" part of the episode.

As of Super, Frieza and Majin Buu are things the God of destruction remember. No one in Super remembers Cell lol.

I hope they make some sort of reference to Bills, though. Maybe in the Broly movie? Where King Vegeta appears?

Also I remember there was someone on the Resurrection of F tv tropes page scared of Cell being revived like Frieza.

Frieza had an empire of underlings. Him being revived makes sense, but the power up is another matter we won't discuss here. Cell had probably Tom from Myspace, and even he doesn't care after being killed.

Kuririn didn't own Vegeta. He tried to make light of Vegeta's situation to make him feel better and unintentionally pissed him off.

Anyway, this is a really good episode. TFS are really good at combat banter and I really like Cell's responses to everything Trunks said.

edit: I think my favourite line is the "I'm trying 16!"

As I've mentioned before, Cell never trained, and he can make Cell Jrs with Super (Saiyan) capability. Given FOUR MONTHS training after that Super Saiyan God ritual, he should be able to go Super God Gold Cell.

What If? he did that after Beerus arrived on Earth? What if Beerus and Whis were sampled for Cell's DNA?

Questions for another day...

"Oh look at me, I'm Trunks! Please love me, daddy!"

It seems a little early to call it, but I do think I like Cell more than Freeza.

Which is saying a lot.

My favourite line would be "You can not fathom the amount of dead men behind me". It's a good play on words, and a reminder just exactly how evil and powerful Cell is.

I think my favorite Cell one-liner was:

Trunks: This battle was over before it began.
Krillin: Badass.

He said "badass?" I thought he said "that ass", as in, Krillin was pissed about Trunks hurting him.

Why does anyone ever listen to the villain speeches or believe anything they say?

Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.

So I ended up checking out that Vegeta Doujin that Lani mentioned in one of the TFS Plays and the bits that I found were pretty interesting. The whole "What if Vegeta was the Saiyan sent to Earth instead of Goku."

I actually really dug how the writer handled Goku in that series too.

[up] Here ya go.

It's not fully translated, but you can make some of what's happening. The gist of it since Goku and Vegeta has a role reversal is that, because Vegeta started off stronger than Goku, he actually steam rolls through most enemies and come the Saiyan saga, Goku ends up being the first person he's faced that is stronger than himself.

And even though Goku is more Bardock-like in personality here, he still enjoys fighting strong opponents, even finding himself coaching Vegeta into getting stronger as they fight.

I'm not a fan of when writers skip all of Dragon Ball, even if it does make total sense here.

Why would Goku be stronger than him? The only reason Goku was even able to compete with Vegeta's natural in-born specialness was because of the experiences he had on Earth raising his level of both skill and strength at a phenomenal rate. Even then, he was still less than half of Vegeta's strength and had to use the Kaioken to compensate. And even then, he still got crushed because Vgeta's spontaneous power-up was stronger than Goku's too.

A Goku who never learned to hone his power through training, never drank the magic power-up water, never trained under Kaio-sama and learned the Kaioken and Genki-Dama, etc. should be a pushover for Vegeta.
