EPISODE REVIEWS

guts_the_swordsman_189

I can't get over how bleak the future timeline scenes feel, especially with the way the androids were just casually destroying cities and killing everyone. It actually feels like a horror movie compared to the main show and seeing Future Gohan struggle against them made me realize how much pressure Trunks has been dealing with this whole time trying to change things

It is so brutal seeing Yajirobe and the others get taken down in the flashbacks and it makes the stakes for this fight with Cell feel so much heavier

The contrast between the present fight and those dark memories of the future really shows why Trunks is so desperate to win even if he makes mistakes with his power

kagamine_twins_495

The way Cell just toys with Trunks while he gets all bulky and slow makes it so obvious that brute strength is useless and Goku was totally right about that form

griffith_the_hawk

Seeing Future Gohan actually show up was such a highlight because you finally see the mentor who had to carry the world alone before he died

I really felt for Trunks watching those flashbacks and seeing how the androids just wiped everyone out like it was nothing and his timeline is just a total nightmare
