Yeah but, as the reporter asked, "How'd you know about the parts you weren't there for?"

  • Gero might have done his homework but... he can't possibly have known that Bulma shot Goku in the head, or have known anything that happened on Namek, as the show explicitly pokes fun at with Gero demanding to know what it is.
    • And even if he did why would Cell know? Why would Gero care to program that into him? This isn't the Animus.
  • Cell even makes fun of Vegeta crying in front of Freeza. And mentions Guru.

None of that makes sense. But it was just a CallBack to Freeza and I completely forgot about that scene.

Again, Cell remembers everything from all the people he's made out of, so he remembers getting shot in the face by Bulma from Goku's perspective, and he remembers Vegeta crying in front of Freeza from both Vegeta and Freeza's perspectives.

My final thought on the detanator is that It's just another example of people claiming TFS improved something without having a proper handle on how the situation was presented in the first place.

I've already explained why and Saiga elaborsted even furthur.

Gero hasn't even heard of Namek. How would his creation know anything about what happened there?

Also: I would think that even if it were true it would depend on when the DNA was acquired, and I'm pretty sure Vegeta's samples were mentioned to all be from the Saiyan Saga in the anime.

Freeza's DNZ and his father's DNA would have been taken during their very brief visit to Earth. In the anime Cell even comments on how lucky it was that they came to Earth, otherwise they never would have been able to get their DNA. But I don't see how having someone's DNA makes you able to remember stuff that happened to that person. Unless Cell is a Goa'uld.

I don't mind the joke, I'm pointing out that people trying to justify it shouldn't bother. It doesn't make sense, oh well, move on with it.

I was half-expecting that whole sequence to end with Cell not killing anyone and then revealing that the reporter's name was Toriyama.

Oh man, this episode. Goku sex life, Cell recounting the whole story of dragon ball, Asshole Dende. Hilarious. [lol]

My favorite moment was Goku informing Bulma Chichi is pregnant and her reaction. Just... that, really made me smile.

We haven't gotten to see it a lot, what with Goku being dead most of the time, away, or far from Bulma. But just that little interaction still shows how close they are.

Also Gero's Son. Damn. Right in the feels.

The original footage for Gero's son was great. Also Goku realizing that sex makes babies was really funny to me.

The film with Gero's son felt really out of place and pointless to me.

How did Goku forget that sex makes babies? He had Gohan before.

The way the footage of Gero's sun was explained was incredibly awkward. The reference to 18 and 17's names was much better handled.

The original explanation Toriyama gave was such a huge Voodoo Shark anyway. As if having your entire organization and dreams crushed by one person isn't enough for someone to seek revenge.[lol]

Shit, Gero's son is in an illegal army that is trying to take over the world and has committed many atrocities. No feels from me.

Why would Gero even put that file in, protected or not?
