The Cell Game
Episodes 161-199

I don't guarantee that these episode titles are correct. I can only go by what little Japanese I know, the shortened title given by most of my fansubs (it only gives half the title), and other episode lists. I will be replacing these titles with the official titles that Daimao uses on the DVDs as they become available.

161. Super Vegeta in Grave Danger!! The Completely Perfect Terror Draws Near!!
Vegeta finally gets a crack at Perfect Cell, and finds that Perfection has far surpassed the levels of the Legendary Super Saiya-jin. Vegeta goes on an offensive only to find that his power is nothing to Cell's, and even when he hits a weak point on Cell with an incredible kick, Cell is completely unfazed.

162. Break Through the Limits of the Super Saiya-jin!! Trunks Summons a Storm
Vegeta finally plays his trump card. As Cell stands below, completely sure of himself, Vegeta rises into the air and begins raising his ki up. Finally, he attacks with his Final Flash. Unfortunately, only part of the right side of Cell's body is destroyed, and he simply regenerates it. After Vegeta gets beaten up, Trunks goes insane and his ki begins to rise despite his efforts to control it. In fact, Kuririn even fears that he's going to lose his mind as Goku did when he changed into an Oozaru.

163. Save Your Father!! Trunks' Anger Scorches the Heavens
Super Saiya-jin Trunks takes on Perfect Cell. He allows himself to be beaten for a while, allowing Kuririn an opportunity to rescue the unconscious Vegeta. After Kuririn and Vegeta are clear, Trunks begins to raise his ki and goes Ultimate Super Saiya-jin Stage 3 (otherwise known as True Ultimate SSJ), and the real battle begins.

164. Future of Despair!! The Man Who Lived Through Hell, Trunks
The fight continues as Trunks and Cell trade stories of the past (er, future?). Trunks once again describes for us the hellish future from which he comes, and Cell tells us all about the Earth of the future that lacked Artificial Humans for absorbing. Finally, during a pause in the battle, Cell actually admits that Trunks is stronger, but still remains quite sure of himself, and predicts his own victory.

165. Weakness in Super Trunks! Cell's Very Shocking Statement
Trunks and Cell continue their battle. Trunks begins to end up on the losing end, and finally, it becomes apparent why. In his current state, though Trunks' strength exceeds Cell, he's incredibly slow. Trunks, realizing victory is out of reach, phases out of Super Saiya-jin and allows Cell to kill him. However, rather than kill him, Cell inquires as to whether or not Trunks could become even more powerful than he is now in just as short an amount of time, and when Trunks replies that he wouldn't know unless he tried, Cell announces Cell's Game, a fighting tournament not unlike the Tenkaichi Budokai, except that Cell will always be the opponent.

166. Goku Informed of the Great Battle!! Myth of a New Tenkaichi Budokai
Let me just say that title is really shaky, so I wouldn't trust the first half of it if I were you. Anyway, Trunks relates his story to Kuririn and Vegeta and everyone prepares for Cell's Game. Everyone meets up at Capsule Corporation, where Number 16 undergoes repairs. Meanwhile, Goku and Gohan continue their training in the Room of Spirit and Time, and Cell builds a stage for his tournament.

167. Viewer Rating 100%!! Live Coverage of the Deadly Cell Game
Cell borrows a television station to announce his tournament to the world, and training continues inside the Room of Spirit and Time.

168. The Super Power of Goku and Gohan... Increase Your Power To the Max
Son Goku and Gohan emerge from the Room of Spirit and Time. After a nice snack, Goku checks up on Cell. They size each other up, then Goku returns to God's Shrine, where he announces, to everyone else's shock (including Gohan's) that they've no need for the Room of Spirit and Time again, and that their nine days of training on Earth will be more than sufficient.

169. Goku's Composure?! Just Relax and Wait for the Cell Game
Goku pays Karin a visit where he shows off the results of his training. However, his ki is so immense that Karin fears the entire tower will break apart if Goku continues, so he's forced to stop at what he states is about half of his power. Both decide that, though he is incredibly strong, he's probably still not any match for Cell. After visiting Karin, Goku and Gohan go to Kame House to retrieve Chichi, who is completely shocked to see Gohan a Super Saiya-jin.

170. The Fighters Relax... The Girl, the Lie, and Gohan's Decision
Gohan goes out to get some spices for Chichi and happens upon a town where a rich man is building a Shelter Dome to protect everyone from Cell. However, the people are practically being forced to help out by the man's thugs. Gohan sides with an old man and his granddaughter who are against the Shelter Dome, and Gohan meets Tao Pai Pai. Upon finding out that Gohan is Son Goku's son, Tao Pai Pai flees. Gohan destroys the Shelter Dome, and then Goku arrives looking for him.

171. The Hidden Strength!! When Gohan Was a Baby
While preparing for Gohan's birthday party (it's not really his birthday, but he aged a year in the Room of Spirit and Time), Chichi happens upon an old Son family photo album. She flips through it, recalling different events of Gohan's past. Finally, it's time for the party, but Gohan accidentally destroys his entire cake.

172. Find a New God!! Goku's Shunkan Idou
After the military launches an attack on Cell that goes completely to hell, Goku decides that it's necessary to find a new God to revive the Dragon Balls. He attempts to teleport to New Namek, but finds that he can't sense ki that far away, so he seeks assistance from Kaiousama.

173. Dende's First Job!! Revive the Dragon Balls
Goku teleports to New Namek with help from Kaiousama, where he finds a Namekseijin who's willing to become God of the Earth, and it just happens to be Dende. He takes Dende back to Kaiousama's planet, then to Earth. Back on Earth, Dende is reunited with Kuririn and Gohan. He revives Shenlon and the search for the Dragon Balls begins.

174. Wisely Snatching the Dragon Balls!? Mr. Satan Shows his Stuff
Pretty damn sure that title is completely wrong, but I'll fix it when the official title comes out. Anyway, Goku runs around collecting Dragon Balls, and the champion of the 24th Tenkaichi Budokai, Mr. Satan, steps forward claiming that he will defeat Cell and save the world.

175. Prelude to the Final Battle!! Mr. Satan Will Fight First
Everyone slowly arrives at Cell's Game. First, Mr. Satan and his entourage. Then, Vegeta, followed shortly by Number 16. After Number 16 came the rest of the Z Senshi. Mr. Satan remains completely confident in the presence of the strongest forces in the universe.

176. Here Comes Satan's Army!! Mr. Satan Is Beaten By a Single Hit
Some of Satan's fans arrive and decide they'll fight first so that their teacher doesn't even have to get his hands dirty. After they both lose miserably, Satan himself goes up to fight Cell, but unfortunately for the world, he..."slips" and flies several hundred meters off the stage. Oh yeah, and Cell might have hit him, but it was all because he slipped, really. After that disgusting display, the Legendary Super Saiya-jin, Son Goku, steps up onto the stage.

177. Goku and Cell Square Off!! The Completely Exciting Cell's Game
Satan makes up an excuse for the world audience while Goku and Cell begin the real fight. They seem about even as the fight progresses, and later when Goku begins to raise his ki, Satan and the reporter are completely stunned by his golden glow.

178. Direct Hit on Earth!! Cell's Kamehameha
As the battle continues, Cell decides to show off some of the different techniques he knows. Finally, he comes to Kamehameha, and Goku is forced to fly away so that his Kamehameha will go into space, rather than attacking the Earth.

179. Lose or Die?! Goku's Secret Turnabout Plans
And still, the battle goes on. Goku finally comes up with a plan. While Cell waits on the ground, Goku flies into the air and begins to charge up a full-power Kamehameha. To everyone's shock, he seems to be prepared to fire it straight down at Cell and the Earth. However, for most of the power up, Cell remains confident that Goku will in fact not harm the Earth like this. Much to his surprise, Goku's Kamehameha continues to charge, but at the last second, Goku teleports right in front of Cell and hits him with a full-power Kamehameha from inches away, no harm done to the planet.

180. The End of the Desperate Struggle!! Goku's Surrender!?
Cell regenerates everything destroyed by the Kamehameha (basically, everything above his waist) and the battle resumes. Goku more and more begins to appear on the lower end of the spectrum, and to everyone's shock, he finally surrenders.

181. Someone Who Will Succeed the Strongest... His Name is Gohan
Goku asks if he can nominate the next contestant, and Cell allows him to, but says that because Trunks, Vegeta, and Piccolo are all weaker than he, Goku shouldn't nominate them. Stunning everyone, Goku ignored all three of them and called on Gohan. Despite argument from the other Z Senshi, Goku holds to his plan and convinces Gohan to at least give it a try. Gohan goes in and raises his ki, which, though higher than everyone expected, still doesn't exactly make them hopeful for Earth's future. Finally, the fight begins and Gohan appears to be relatively well matched with Cell until Cell decides to use his full speed and their differences quickly become apparent.

182. Gohan, Get Mad · Release the Sleeping Power Within
Gohan gets beaten up pretty badly, but states that he has confidence in his ability to beat Cell. Cell is incredulous, and Gohan explains that he understands why Goku chose him. Throughout his entire life (we get to see flashbacks as he explains specific scenes), he's always experienced enormous power boosts when angered. Cell doesn't believe him, but sets out to make him angry all the same. Must be those Saiya-jin cells.

183. Miniature Threats!! The Cell Juniors
Cell finds that physical attacks on Gohan don't make him angry enough to reach this new level of power, so he resorts to another possibility. Number 16 attacks him, but after finding his self-destruct device was removed, Cell simply blows him apart. Then, using Piccolo's ability to create offspring, he spits out seven Cell Juniors and has them attack the Z Senshi on the cliff.

184. Number 16's Last Words!! Super Gohan Is Born
The Z Senshi continue their futile struggle against the Cell Juniors, and Gohan's anger level continues to rise, but not over the breaking point. Meanwhile, Number 16's head, which landed near Satan's crew, asks to be taken to Son Gohan. Everyone says not to do it, but Satan is ashamed enough as it is and agrees to help out in this way. He carries the head over, then tosses it to Gohan. The head gives a small speech before Cell destroys it. Number 16's final and decisive death ends it all, and Gohan's anger explodes in an incredible display that stops everything.

185. Anger Exploding Into Power!! Cell Juniors Destroyed
Gohan's ki continues to rise and he becomes the first Z Senshi (perhaps the first Saiya-jin) ever to reach Super Saiya-jin level 2. He takes back the senzu, which Cell had previously stolen, then quickly and easily kills each Cell Junior in a single hit. Finally, he moves in on Cell himself.

186. Cell Is KOed!! Gohan's Incredible Two Punches
Perfect Cell quickly finds that he's no match for Super Saiya-jin 2 Son Gohan. Gohan has far surpassed him in every category. Cell finally gets angry and begins to raise his ki as high as he can. In response, Gohan cripples him with just two punches. What a bad ass, eh?

187. A Disaster For Cell!! The Perfect Body Breaks Down
Well, the second half of that title is probably wrong, but being that it's not all translated on my fansub and my Japanese is...quite lacking... Anyway, as Gohan continues to throw Cell around, Cell decides to throw a giant Kamehameha from the sky. Gohan counters with an even stronger Kamehameha, and both blasts fly straight at Cell. His body is left in a shambles, but he easily regenerates everthing. He undergoes a transformation somewhat like Ultimate Super Saiya-jin Stage 3 in which he becomes immensely strong, but very slow. Gohan very easily dodges each hit, and Gohan still manages to deal quite a blow with a strong kick to the face. Cell's body begins to break down and Number 18 is spit out.

188. Bye Bye, Everyone! Goku's Final Teleportation
With Number 18 gone, Cell is left in his medium stage. Now any of the non-human Z Senshi could take him without trouble. Recognizing how little his chances of winning are, Cell goes for broke and begins to bloat up into a giant bomb that will destroy the entire planet. Too late to do anything about it, Gohan falls to his knees, completely hopeless. Goku, on the other hand, comes up with a strategy of his own. He says his goodbyes to everyone, then talks to Gohan personally before teleporting Cell to Kaiousama's planet. Cell self-destructs, killing himself, Goku, Kaiousama, Gregory, and Bubbles. Oh no, not Bubbles! However, back on Earth, a great force suddenly returns. Trunks falls dead with a hole in his chest... Cell survived, and he now possesses both a permanent Perfect form and the ability to teleport.

189. A Nightmare Is Reborn!! The Absolute Terror
Cell tells his story of survival. When it finishes, Vegeta becomes incredibly angry and launches an all out attack on Cell. He can't believe that he, the Prince of the Saiya-jin, has been outdone by a low-class warrior like Son Goku or his son. However, the whole attack is for naught when Vegeta finds that Cell has emerged without a scratch. Cell launches a counterattack of his own in the form of a giant ki blast. Vegeta is dead for sure until Gohan jumps to his aid. The attack leaves Vegeta alive, but Gohan without use of his left arm, which is now shredded and bloody. Cell prepares to end it all with a Kamehameha.

190. From Father to Son!! Goku's Spirit Passed Down
Gohan has completely given up and accepted that death is imminent. Cell decides we all need to hear his life story AGAIN, so he tells it. He finally gets ready to fire Kamehameha and destroy everything when Goku contacts Gohan telepathically via Kaiousama. Goku encourages Gohan to fight back and says that a Saiya-jin never gives up. Though unsure of his own abilities, Gohan complies with his father's wishes and begins raising his ki, much to the surprise of everyone else present. Finally, both of them fire their Kamehameha's simultaneously.

191. The Fight Is Over... Thank You, Son Goku
The two Kamehameha's meet in the middle, and neither is able to overtake the other. Cell's is obviously the more powerful, though, because when they're not at a 50/50 standing, it's because Cell's has gained ground over Gohan's. From the afterlife, Goku cheers his son on and encourages him to dig deeper, and that he can generate more power than this. Fed up with their helplessness, the other Z Senshi step in to assist Gohan, despite the futility of their attacks. Cell easily bats them all away without taking his focus from Gohan, until the Prince of the Saiya-jin steps in. While the blast itself is not damaging, it draws his attention away. Son Gohan puts all he's got into his Kamehameha, and it finally overtakes Cell's. Cell is completely vaporized down to the very last cell, finally dead for good.

192. I'll Be Training In the Other World!! A Smiling Farewell
The Z Senshi go to God's Shrine, where Number 18 regains consciousness and Shenlon is summoned. Shenlon confirms what the Z Senshi already knew - Son Goku cannot be revived. Trunks is resurrected, and everyone says their goodbyes.

193. Trunks, Leaving for the Future
The scene at God's Shrine wraps up and Trunks heads back to Capsule Corporation for the night. The next day, everyone shows up (including Goku's spirit) to wish Trunks goodbye. Trunks climbs into his time machine and goes back to the future.

194. I'll Protect the Future!! Trunks Eradicates Number 17, Number 18, and Cell
Trunks tells Mirai Bulma about what happened while he was away. Over the radio, they hear about another Artificial Human attack. Trunks takes off his jacket and prepares to go fight them. Bulma is still not sure he should, but he assures her he's fine and he goes. After arriving there, he finds the Artificial Humans as confident as ever, but he quickly puts them in their place with his new strength. Then, much later, Cell arrives to steal the time machine as Trunks prepares to go back in time to let the Z Senshi know that the Artificial Humans have been destroyed. Trunks, knowing what's supposed to happen, calls out to Cell from behind the wall. He and Cell go off to another location away from the city, and Trunks easily kills Cell. Peace returns to Earth after 20 years.

195. The Strongest in the Other World - Goku Confronts the Ginyu Tokusentai, Freezer, and Cell
Goku and Kaiousama travel to Dai Kaiousama's planet to meet Dai Kaiousama and see if he'll train Goku. While they're there, Goku meets Paikuhan, another warrior who looks and acts a lot like Piccolo. While meeting with Dai Kaiousama, they're told that Cell is making trouble in Hell, and Goku and Paikuhan go off to fix things. Goku easily takes on the Ginyu Tokusentai then gets ready for Freezer, King Cold, and Cell. Cell attacks Goku and everyone is shocked when Paikuhan effortlessly knocks him away. Freezer and company are defeated and locked up and all is well again in Hell.

196. An Assembly of Fighters from All Eras... Goku Enters Dai Kaiousama's Tournament
Dai Kaiousama decides to hold an Anoyo-ichi Budokai, saying he will personally train the winner. Everyone is excited about the possibility of being trained by Dai Kaiousama. Then, well, the tournament begins. Victories of note in the first round are those of Olive, Paikuhan, and of course, Son Goku.

197. Hold Your Breath! The Goku Hurricane
The tournament continues. Goku's opponent is a fish man who seems pretty weak until he floods the ring with water. Suddenly, he has an overwhelming advantage and things look bleak for Goku. However, with a Taiyo-ken, Goku finally escapes the water, then with a Kamehameha, manages to win the battle. Olive and Paikuhan fight next, and after a fierce battle, Paikuhan comes out on top.

198. The Final Round!! Goku and Paikuhan!?
Son Goku has one more opponent before he can reach the championship, and when he finally wins, it's time for him to fight Paikuhan. Kaiousama makes a bet with West Kaiou. If Goku wins, Kaiousama get's West Kaiou-sei. If Paikuhan wins, Kaiousama will be West Kaiou's slave forever. Finally, the battle begins. They seem more or less evenly matched. Paikuhan seems a bit stronger at first, but Goku comes back midway through the fight. Finally, they take a quick break so that Paikuhan can relieve himself of all his weighted clothes. Goku then takes the opportunity to turn Super Saiya-jin.

199. What? Disqualification!! Full Power Kamehameha
The battle finally ends with what appears to be Goku's win. However, Dai Kaiousama claims that both he and Paikuhan were disqualified after stepping out of the ring simultaneously when they both used their legs to catapult themselves off the ceiling. Thus, neither Kaiou wins his bet and no one will be trained by Dai Kaiousama.
