That Final Flash blast had so much power behind it and it is wild that Cell can just regenerate from something that massive and keep on talking like it was nothing
puck_the_elf
Watching Vegeta charge that Final Flash and actually blow a hole in Cell was the coolest part of the whole fight and it really showed what he can do when he is desperate
ptilol_385
My heart broke for Trunks when he realized his new form was useless, and watching Cell just dodge every single punch made the power gap feel way too huge
princess_abi_254
Cell pulling that same bulky form just to prove Trunks was being stupid really hurt to watch and it makes you realize how far ahead of everyone else he actually is now
black
You can see how much Trunks was struggling to balance his raw strength with his speed and it was such a reality check when Cell explained why the extra muscle was actually a bad move for a real fight and it makes sense why Goku and Vegeta stayed away from that specific transformation during their time in the chamber together

I hated watching Cell just stand there and mock Trunks like that while he was trying to save Vegeta and that muscle form is such a trap since he could barely move
charizard
That shot of Trunks with the massive muscles was so cool back in the day, but it sucks that he lost all his speed just to look intimidating
sunekosuri_slayer
Cell was just playing with everyone this whole time and the way he treated Trunks like a child even after that massive power up was actually kind of terrifying
nure_onna_ninja
Vegeta getting humiliated after that massive energy blast was hard to watch and it really shows that his pride is his own worst enemy in these fights
orihime_oracle_103
I remember watching this on Toonami and being so into it for Trunks to finally show what he could do but looking back it is actually kind of frustrating and he just stands there while Vegeta gets kicked around and then he goes and uses a form that is too slow to even land a hit which is such a waste of his strength
zerotwolover
Trunks is way too nice for his own good and he should have just ended Cell when he had the chance instead of worrying about Vegetas stupid ego
kumaru_yukihara
Vegeta looked so pathetic after the Final Flash failed, because he really thought he had him there and then Cell just laughed it off
yosuzume_yurei
I was staring at the screen when Trunks bulked up that much and his hair got all wild but he basically turned into a giant slow target for Cell to mock
shaytheotaku1
Cell taking that Final Flash and just regenerating like it was nothing was the scariest thing ever and it really showed how much of a monster he is now
fujin_fighter_37
I still cant believe Trunks just watched his dad get trashed because he didnt want to hurt Vegetas feelings and it makes me so mad that Cell reached his perfect form because of it
gorman_brothers
Trunks is giving it his all but he just learned the hard way that raw power is useless if you are too slow to hit your target
mauka_maiden
The way the ground was shaking when Trunks powered up made it feel like the whole world was going to break and it was so intense
moryo_mystic_97
It is crazy that Vegeta was so confident before Cell transformed, but seeing Trunks surpass his dad in raw power was a huge shock.
bleach_bankai_459
The sight of Trunks stepping up after Vegeta failed and those white eyes making him look like a total monster really stuck with me
kaito_kromatic
Cell is just toying with Trunks now because those massive muscles are just making him slower and slower with every single swing
