EPISODE REVIEWS

Krillin is the realest friend for dragging Vegeta away while he was unconscious even though Vegeta treats him like garbage most of the time and never says thank you

yuji_itadori_134

I felt so bad for Trunks because he was clearly hiding his true power just to protect the pride of his father, but then his plan totally backfired and it was wild seeing him bulk up like that, and the speed drawback makes sense even if it sucks to watch Cell just laugh in his face while he struggled to move

Cell is way more terrifying when he just stands there and analyzes the power instead of screaming because he knew Trunks messed up the speed balance before Trunks even realized it

Cell mocking Vegeta while he was face down in the dirt was the highlight because the prince of all saiyans really thought he was invincible until the perfect form showed up

griffith_the_hawk

When Trunks started powering up like that, I swear I nearly broke my TV remote from throwing it at the screen, I just wanted to see Cell get obliterated already! The way they ended it right then felt so unfair, making me wait another whole week for the actual showdown is just cruel.

That buff form looks scary and strong but it is completely useless if you cannot actually touch your opponent and Cell just making fun of the lack of speed was brutal

I thought Trunks turned into Broly for a second with those massive muscles but Cell just toyed with him because he became way too slow to land a single hit on that bug man

rimuru_ruler_151

Vegeta getting humbled by Cell after all that trash talking was actually satisfying because his ego is getting everyone killed and he really needs a reality check right now

It was nice to see Krillin stepping up to help, and Trunks giving up his own healing for Vegeta shows he has a better heart than his dad ever will
