I don't think I ever minded Nickelback. Thought a lot of their songs were okay, if forgettable. I remember being surprised when I first learned that they were the memetically terrible band.

Well, that dark time in our lives has come to an end.

Now, to the next topic:

How many more episodes until the seasons over, probably like six? Think they'll start making them longer, because it seems like it.

Now, to the next topic:

Predictions for the Cell Games?

Who wants to bet that the small imperfection in the ring comes back again during the games? I'm guessing that Cell is either distracted by it while No Selling Hercule's attacks, or that it irks him into blowing up the ring.

Also, what are the odds that Hercule takes after Nappa a bit too much not to be noticeable to Vegeta?

I'm expecting the next episodes to be:

55: Goku and Gohan come out of the Time Chamber, Goku shows half strength to Korin and is told that he's screwed, Piccolo goes into the Time Chamber, and Goku gets Dende for God.

56: Goku and Gohan enjoy their 10 days before the Cell Games.

57: Cell Games begin and Hercule Satan fights Cell.

58: Goku fights Cell.

59: Gohan steps up to fight Cell, and everyone gets their asses kicked by Cell Jrs.

60 (in three parts): SS2 Gohan vs Cell.

That looks pretty reasonable.

While Cell getting frustrated over a green tile is all but certain, the real question is where it happens. It could be what he's noticing while Mr. Satan is pathetically trying to harm him, or it could be his impetus for blowing up the arena.

Or it could just be a one-off joke between the characters.

  • Vegeta: Why is that tile green?
  • Cell: We're not talking about that.

It's not green, it's half size.

While it would be funny to see a call back to it, it'd also be illogical. It'd be more fitting for his character to fix it immediately after returning from his press announcement.

Cell's idea of fixing it is to f*ck off and go build another one. He can't do that right now. He already gave the world the location of this ring. He's stuck with it, warts and all.

It makes much less sense for someone obsessed with perfection to have an obvious flaw that we know bothers them and not do anything about it for a week than it does for them to just fix it.

wonder if they will do any of the filler before the Cellgames.

Cell doesn't seem the type who consider replacing the flaw as fixing things. Either it comes out perfect or it's not perfect no matter what you do, hence why he had to keep starting over.

Even if he replaced the tile, he'd know that it used to be wrong, and that would continue to bother him.

This is the same guy who literally began life as imperfect, and his original life's mission was to find what he needed to complete himself, and along the way absorbed random people who were nothing to him.

The irony is what makes it delicious. Although, he could just make a new ring and telekinetically move it the location he told everyone.

Well, they weren't exactly nothing to him. He needed those random people in order to increase his battle power to the point that he could actually take the Androids in a fight.

No point hunting them down if 18 effortlessly rips his tail off, strangles him with it, and then obliterates the entire thing in a single blast while 17 watches and chews popcorn.

Saying that it's hypocritical for Cell to consider the ring imperfect when he started imperfect is like saying that the ring is doomed to be imperfect from the start because it was once a mountain. It's not that it was originally imperfect that bugs him, it's that something went wrong in the process of making it perfect that taints it for him.

Oh.

I bet Gohan's gonna pound that Berserk Button during their fight.

I'm looking forward to it.

I think Goku's going to pound that Goten button soon.

Unless Super 13 really did erase him from existence.

Well, I suppose I have to take some of the blame for that joke. Really set myself up on that one.

Don't worry. Goten's fine....accept...didn't they say there was someone they'd be cutting from the series a while back?

.....0_0

Naw. I'm sure Goten will be ok. He's too important to the Buu arc, since he's half of Gotenks.

I will say, I like the implication that at some point Goku actually wanted to spend time and have sex with his wife. Because moments like that are decidedly rare.

At the end of Super 13, they used Senzus to heal Goku's nuts up so Goten should be fine. He kinda needed a few, though.

Aren't they canon in the abridged continuity?
