I really felt for Krillin when he smashed that remote because he saw 18 as more than a machine and it showed how much of a good guy he actually is even if it was risky

Poor Trunks is the only one with any common sense left and he has to deal with his dad being a maniac while Krillin loses his mind over a girl

I have such mixed feelings about what Krillin did because on one hand he showed so much mercy to 18, and it was beautiful, but on the other hand he basically handed Cell the victory on a silver platter and I just sat there staring at my screen when the remote broke and I really hope this doesn't kill everyone

Watching Goku and Gohan relax in the middle of all this stress is such a Goku thing to do and it shows how much he trusts their progress in the chamber
sophia_ascart_167
The pride on Vegeta is actually insane, and he really thinks he can take on a perfect Cell without any help, and he is going to regret that so much
chika_fujiwara_162
Krillin chose love over the entire planet and that is such a heavy burden for one guy but also he is a total idiot for doing it right now
kamaitachi_killer_60
Trunks was really trying his best to talk sense into his dad but Vegeta was too busy being a narcissist and the outcome of that was really hard to watch
wiseman_381
Gohan is starting to look like a monster in the time chamber and the way Goku is pushing him is great but that bath scene was a weirdly chill moment given the chaos
hawks_eye_387
My heart actually broke for Krillin when he looked at 18 and decided he couldn't kill her but man he really just doomed everyone and that was hard to watch
dodomeki_dreamer
Vegeta is the most frustrating person alive and he really just stood there and let Cell go find 18 because he wants a better fight and he is being so selfish
rei_hino_373
I cannot believe Krillin just smashed the remote and he let his feelings get in the way while the whole world is at stake and now Cell is actually going to do it
tanuki_trickster_41
Watching Vegeta stand in the way of Trunks just to let Cell evolve makes people want to scream because his arrogance is going to be the death of everyone
daemon_coder
Goku telling Gohan that resting is just as important as training was a nice break from all the stress and it shows how much he has grown as a teacher
joseph_joestar
Android 18 was just standing there looking confused while Krillin destroyed her only hope for survival and it was such a heavy moment to witness
ganondorf_262
Vegeta is actually the worst for helping Cell, and his pride is a problem when he is actively sabotaging the only person trying to save the future
gen_gunpowder_159
My heart actually sank when Krillin stomped on that remote because I knew things were about to go south but he really does love her already and it is kind of sweet
tatsumaki_tornado
Trunks is the only one with a brain in this show and watching him get blocked by his own dad while Cell is right there is the most frustrating thing ever
sailor_moon
I really felt for Krillin when he was looking at Android 18 and he just couldn't bring himself to blow her up, even if it meant letting Cell reach his final form. It is such a human mistake to make and even though it is probably going to get everyone killed I still appreciate that he stayed true to his heart
isekaibro
Why is Krillin being so dense and the entire world is on the line and he decides to save a killer robot instead of just pressing the button to end it
monk_maz_koshia_296
Vegeta is making me so mad right now because he is letting Cell win just to satisfy his own ego and it is painful to watch Trunks try to be the only sane person there
EPISODE CONTEXT
Sitting deep in the Cell Saga, episode 158 comes after the Androids have been introduced and the threat of Cell's perfection looms large over the Z Fighters. Krillin's personal conflict here is a direct consequence of events involving Android 18 and adds a critical human element to the saga's escalation toward Cell's final form. What happens in this episode has meaningful ripple effects on the trajectory of the Cell Games arc that follows.
