That nightmare was legitimately chilling; I feel like this almost every episode, but I really liked this one. #Cell Games

Fuck, Taka's Cell is frustratingly good for fic writers.

If Cell could cut up things with his mind why did he never use that on anybody?

The power is clearly pretty low. Unless you're wondering why he didn't use it on fighters that are way beneath him, in which case he might as well just punch them.

Because, troper, everyone is beneath him. [Aside Glance on the word "fighters"]

Plus going out of one's way to use their powers in creatively vicious ways in a fight is more Freeza's thing.

But also Vegeta's. And Goku's.

And Goku is a fighter who answers most things in a fight with a simple punch.

I actually did like the rationale they gave for Chichi being a Beloved Smother. I have to imagine that she didn't envision herself having to mooch of her dad all her life just to get buy so it's pretty understandable why she doesn't want Gohan to end up like Goku.

Well she won't have to worry, because that's not going to happen :V And I know they're going to take the piss out of Gohan for becoming a nerd too.

Chi-Chi punking Vegeta was pretty great though "D-don't make me come over there, (grumble)"

Anyone else like Vegeta and Trunks bonding over Krillin and 16 bonding? I thought it was pretty great.

I liked when Krillin called Gohan the third-strongest person he knew and Vegeta asked, "Who's the fourth?"

There is no right answer to that question, Krillin. Run away fast.

That threw me because I wasn't sure who 1 and 2 were. I settled on it being Cell, Goku, Gohan, but Vegeta settling for fourth sounds... odd.

[up] Krillin was ranking Trunks and Goku above Gohan there, the gag being that tough Vegeta is the weakest Saiyan.

It's weird, since up to that point Gohan was nowhere near that strong.

Perhaps the rank was Popo > Goku > Gohan > Vegeta?tongue

Anyway, who wants to bet that when Cell destroys the ring it will be over some OCD issue rather than simply expanding the fighting area? If I recall, the ring suffers some slight damage part way through the fight and I can imagine Cell trying to ignore it before blowing it up.

We are all made of star stuff. Very, very weird star stuff.

Yeah, that fourth strongest is funny, but if you think about it, it makes no sense. As far as he knows at that time, Goku, Trunks, Piccolo, Vegeta, possibly Popo, and quite probably himself and some of the humans, not to mention 16 and Cell, are stronger.

I'm really excited to see what they do with Mr. Satan. I wonder what they'll do for his voice. The Death Battle guy maybe?

If it weren't for Racoom, I'd expect a full-on Macho Man Randy Savage impression. Or Hulk Hogan.

Plot twist: Turns out Dwayne Johnson is a huge TFS fan and volunteered to voice Hercule.

I can't image Krillin views any humans (including himself) as even close to Gohan even with the viewpoint he should have at this point.

I'm thinking Abridged Hercule would be a genuine hero trying to stop Cell but no one takes him seriously at all.

Yea, the "strongest" gag didn't really make much sense to me either.

I do wonder how they're going to portray Hercule though and something tells me we're going to get Broly a little bit after Goku and Gohan get out of the Time Chamber.
