QUICK TAKES
rubeus
That Kamehameha from Gohan should have ended it but Cell just regenerating from a few cells left over is such a cheap move
tatsumaki_tornado
Cell tried that massive muscle form that Trunks used earlier and it failed just as hard this time because he was way too slow to even graze Gohan
majora
I think the way Cell puffed up his muscles just made him a bigger target, and Gohan proved it by kicking the android right out of him
gladion_352
Cell puking out Android 18 after Gohan's attack was easily one of the most disgusting things I've seen in Dragon Ball Z, I swear. My jaw actually dropped at how graphic it was. But then I realized it meant she was free, which was such a relief!
groudon
It was actually pretty shocking to see Cell revert back to his semi-perfect form after he spit out Android 18, and Krillin better be ready to move fast if he wants to save her. Gohan is being way too arrogant right now by ignoring Goku, and I really hope that his ego doesnt end up costing everyone their lives
pierce
Cell reverted back to that weird bug look because Gohan kicked the perfect right out of him and it was so satisfying
tanuki_trickster_41
I really hated how Gohan was just standing there letting Cell suffer instead of finishing him like Goku said and now everything is going to go wrong
gino_weinberg_176
I couldnt believe Gohan was just dodging every single punch like it was nothing while Cell was screaming in total frustration about being weak
mikasasimp
Gohan has become a total monster with this new power and he looks like he actually enjoys watching Cell struggle for his life
adachigahara_ace_11
Goku is actually the voice of reason for once telling his kid to stop playing with his food before something terrible happens
trunks_traveler_85
I can't believe Gohan just caught those Destructo Discs with his bare hands and broke them like they were nothing and it is actually terrifying how much stronger he is than Cell right now
saix
Piccolo yelling at Gohan to quit playing around and finish the fight was the most relatable thing ever since the kid is clearly letting all that power go to his head
chad_champion
Gohan telling Cell he wants him to feel the same pain he caused everyone else is such a dark turn for him, especially since he could just blow him up right now
tifa_lockhart_400
Watching Cell revert to that goofy semi perfect form after Gohan punched the android out of him was the most embarrassing moment for a villain in this entire series
hange_hero
Goku seeing Gohan transform in the chamber for a second was such a relief for me because I finally get why he was so chill during the whole Cell Games
lance_328
It was so satisfying to watch Cell lose his mind and start using those amateur moves from the other guys because he realized Gohan is on a totally different level
queen_nehelenia
I am honestly kind of worried about Gohan because he is acting so cold and mean to Cell right now even if the guy deserves it, Goku and Piccolo are literally begging him to just end the fight but he wants to make him suffer and that usually ends badly in this show, seeing Cell turn into that weird bulky mess was gross
jun_jun_389
The way Gohan just stood there and swatted away that planet destroying blast like it was a fly made Cell look like a complete amateur
sanji_savant
Cell was talking all that trash about being perfect and then he ends up puking up 18 and turning back into that ugly second form after one kick to the stomach
nukekubi_nemesis_63
I can not believe Gohan is just standing there letting Cell suffer instead of finishing the job because Piccolo and Goku are right about him being too arrogant now
