[@soulbade-x9709]

If you're wondering why Goku didn't just teleport back to Earth after bringing Cell to King Kai's planet, that's because in the manga the moment Goku got Cell there, Cell instantly exploded. The anime likes to drag that second out, also there was no conversation between King Kai and Goku at that moment.

[@josiahgregg1209]

Yeah, for this specific scene I wish they made it instant, but it's still great

[@CitrusBlur]

It would also make Goku look pretty rotten as a person if he just teleported away and left King Kai/Bubbles/Gregory to die on their own. He wouldn't do that to them. He'd be prepared to go down with them.

[@mikedensen5515]

Now i know why, thank mate

[@fatty1040]

Cool story. My dad was the one who watched DBZ before me and when i was born he would show me episodes on VHS. We only had the first season. Later when DVDs became a bigger thing we managed to gather all orange boxset seasons and he watched till Gohan went to highschool. Unfortunately he passed away when i was 10, He always told me i was Gohan and He was Goku and this episode always reminds me of him. I remember one time he got sick and he told me "Dont worry im gonna come back as a super saiyan" and he got better.

This was one of the saddest deaths in DBZ. Goku sacrificed himself as well as King Kai and his planet just to save the Earth from Cell's explosion.

I feel like this arc taught a very important lesson, cherish the time you have, especially with family, because you never know what could happen. Goku believed that good would win in the end, no matter what, so rather than be stressed, he wanted to spend the little time that Cell had given before the tournament to be with his family. Whether or not he was certain of victory, more importantly he was aware that lives were on the line, including, or should I say, especially his own.

Now this is one of my favorite drawn episodes and the emotions you really feel the sadness of Goku's sacrifice

[@MrOuran369]

I remember being 8 years old watching this episode. It messed with me big time cause Goku was one of those rare animated characters you never expected to sacrifice his life so honorably. And hearing Gohan screaming "Daddy!" is heartbreaking and haunting. Cell's return took me by surprise. I can recall getting frustrating shouting, "Why won't you die!" And that technique Cell used, it was Frieza's death beam, the same one used on Vegeta on Namek. But taking out Trunks, Cell did intentionally since he's the one fighter equal to Cell and doesn't want him interfering with his fight with Gohan. But if Cell was really smart, he would have taken out the Ace in the Hole, Gohan. But since this is Cell we're talking about, he probably wants to finish off Gohan on his own terms. But I suppose that's the price you pay for having Frieza's cells, mostly Frieza's pride he inherited. Next episode is bat shit crazy when it's revealed how Cell survived.

@baris Tee Anime Remember King Kai is a god not mortal, although he's a god he can still die. Also in the manga when Goku teleported to king kai's planet Cell blew up immediately, so he didn't have time to teleport away. The Anime just threw a little bit more into it. And even if he had a couple seconds he would've had to grab king kai and gang concentrate on a ki signature from earth to teleport away, simply not enough time.

to be honest, there was a great point made that several z fighters can take on that imperfect version of cell. theyre all recharged from the senzu bean and continue yelling at gohan to finish it when they are fully capable of doing it themselves. goku in particular. in mere super saiyan form he kept up with perfect cell for a while. imperfect cell would stand no chance. not sure what happened there.

[@nightwingman666]

Gohan proved he was indeed a saiyan. He had a chance to beat Cell but he got drunk on his power so Cell could self destruct. Goku as usual made the sacrifice play and what’s more since he was brought back to life already he can’t be wised back again. That moment when he said goodbye he thought deeply and looked at his friends and knew he had to do. But what more in the end it was for nothing Cell survived and now he’s stronger than ever now and he’s not playing anymore given he one-shot Trunks.

[@killer92173]

For me, what got me the most when Gohan screamed, "DADDYYYYYYYY!!!" after Goku's sacrifice.

[@raz1327]

What's so interesting about the Cell Games arc is how much it sets up the new status quo for the Buu saga. Introducing Satan, Chi Chi getting pregnant, Goku dying, 18 being rescued.

[@brandonwyman9125]

So the important thing to notice about this scene with Cell and Gohan. Everyone keeps saying Gohan let the power go to his head, and he was torturing/toying with Cell. Piccolo even mentions it later in DBS telling Gohan he let the power go to his head during this scene and with a later villain in DBZ. But that’s actually wrong. Gohan didn’t let the power go to his head, at least not initially (and certainly not intentionally). When he first gets Cell to revert to his previous stage, he is trying to get Cell to give up, to realize he is completely outclassed, and to surrender. Piccolo mentions before Gohan ascends that Gohan isn’t like Goku, he doesn’t thirst for battle. Android 16 even says he is gentle, he doesn’t like to hurt others. At this point, Gohan doesn’t want to kill Cell, he wants him to surrender. Later when they try to get Gohan to finish it and he says “I think I’ll let him suffer”, it isn’t about torture. He wants Cell to suffer, in the realization that he is helpless against Gohan the same way the people of earth were helpless against Cell. He wants him to experience the same pain, fear, and suffering he inflicted upon others because he wants him to give up. It isn’t about power going to his head, he wants Cell to understand what he did from the other side of the mirror. Goku always showed mercy to his enemies and never killed unless he absolutely had to, and that’s the image Gohan has in his mind. He wants to be like his dad, he wants to be merciful and doesn’t want to kill Cell unless he has to, but he does want Cell to suffer and experience the same things he inflicted on others as a sort of punishment.

[@douglashtang]

15:52;I think King Kai is a lesser deity, and not really a mortal. King Kai is not a mortal, but he's also mortal. The English language can be interesting sometimes. Being mortal means you can't escape death. Being mortal also means you aren't deity. Hey Madison please don't read this part. Deities can die too, if you remember Old Kai. Old Kai is a deity, he can't die of old age because most deities have longevity, but can still die if he's killed (or trade life). Deities call those who are not deities mortals, but deities can still die because they don't have immortality. (Zamasu kills all the deities in future Trunks' timeline)

[@Deined]

Man, does Madison _always_ get this worked up in emotional moments in shows? 😆😛 Also, I don't know if this has been pointed out, but the whole brief conversation between Goku and King Kai didn't happen in the manga. In the manga, Goku just barely had enough time to apologize to King Kai before Cell exploded. This is in case some were wondering why Goku didn't just 'port King Kai, Bubbles, and Gregory out before the explosion. Another thought: given that Goku needed to focus on a power signature before using Instant Transmission, he could've instead focused on the spirits of, say, King Piccolo, Raditz, or Frieza, and instead transmitted Cell to Hel ... um, HFIL.

[@SuperMario_1994]

To help answer Madison’s questions: From the manga perspective, Goku didn’t have time to leave with King Kai and company since it was instantaneous when he got to King Kai’s planet. With Cell on why he survived(I may be wrong since I don’t remember this entirely): Frieza and King Cold’s durability. Frieza did survive a planet’s explosion for example. If there’s any spec of cells left over, it will grow and Cell will regenerate due to Piccolo’s DNA and why every cell must be completely neutralized. If not, the cycle will continue and he’ll end up regenerating again(and it also makes sense to why Cell survived and was able to regenerate from the damage Goku inflicted with the Warp Kamehameha as much as I personally hated it 😂). Add insult to injury, he’ll be back stronger due to the Saiyan DNA via zenkai boosts.

The location of King Kai's planet is mentioned, documented and shown several times throughout the anime to be "at the end of snake way" quite literally a few hundred meters above the tail end it seems so in this episode the depiction of it being all blown up in the middle of a dark space with starts behind it is incorrect. Now snake way itself begins in "other world" or basically the check in station by King Yemma who's in charge of the processing & sentencing of beings souls. So, you either have to die or have some anime hacks like Kami when he was the guardian of earth or Fortuneteller Baba with her floating ball both of which have demonstrated the ability to go there. Now Goku's hack is of course the "instant transmission" which btw King Kai also knows how to use as he showed it to Goku a few episodes back when he went there seeking his help to find New Namek planet to go kidnap (i mean recruit) Dende to be Earth's new guardian. I believe his response to Goku was "i would have shown you how but you never asked" in typical anime nonsensical logic. 1. Cell's explosion could have been contained if Gohand or the rest of the Z Squad combined would have just encapsulated Cell in some giant ki ball barrier/shield then just pushed him out into space to blow, the ki ball strength would have held cuz at this point in his imperfect worn out beaten state he was tens of times weaker than Gohan and even weaker than half the Z fighters present namely (Goku, Trunks, Vegeta and mayyyyybe Piccolo) so containing that caliber of a blast should have been well within their ability to do but the episode didn't call for a solution to stopping it, it called for a sacrifice so that's what we got. To the best of my knowledge I believe don't quote me but I believe Goku can create energy shields even as a child when he battled Piccolo's dad King Piccolo way back in Dragon Ball era I just don't know if he could expand it or apply to others not just himself. Shooot maybe Piccolo should have made himself giant and just ate Cell and contained the blast in his stomach who the hell knows but if he survived and if his head was still intact he could just regenerate but in all honesty Cell was pretty damn huge as is, not sure Piccolo could grow to that required size but if he's anything like the other Namekian Lord Slug then maybe? This is what we get when we try to rationalize approaches to solving problems with anime folks, we go down a dark shoulda/coulda/woulda/ road with no end.. lol. It didn't happen cuz the writers didn't want it, it's that simple. Too bad Cell didn't puke out Android 17 instead, he could have done the barrier idea no problem and with the help of the others they could have ki blasted that crap out into space but we all know Krillin needed to get back his peace of a** so that too didn't play out. 2. Finally Goku "could have" left King Kai's planet and as a matter of fact so could King Kai himself since he knew instant transmission, they could have both fled and taken Bubbles and Gregory with them or left them behind as collateral damage but didn't. Goku wouldn't run away while dropping a nuke that kill his friends and mentor so he had to stay back and pay the price of his own actions and again King Kai didn't leave cuz he was either slow or just simply anime bs didn't call for him surviving and you'll understand in future episodes why so he could continue to mentor Goku and go on to have new adventures setting up the Buu Saga down the road. Frankly at the end of the day don't try to rationalize anime it doesn't have to make sense sometimes, it only moves in one direction and that's in whichever way Toriyama feels.

Thank you for the elaborate comment! I appreciate the time you put into this! I agree with your conclusive point - no need to rationalize things too much!

The fact that cell lost his complete power and he still able to generate enough energy to destroy the Earth show's how powerful of a villain cell was when. And when Cell came back as Perfect Cell and the announcer said oh no Celll has come back stronger then ever and he's up for another round of evil. will Cell have the last laugh after all find out on the next action-packed episode of DRAGON BALL Z!!!! And then the music hits I love that ending.

[@avinashshaheed9597]

DBZ was originally supposed to end with the cell saga. The forecaster 2 episodes ago didn't say for nothing. "Did the role of the earths' protector pass from father to son?" And here Goku dies. Unable to be brought back with the dragonballs. Truly cementing the ending with a firm, yes, to that question.

[@markorandjelovic2897]

Gohan wanted to live over Cell so that Cell would suffer more, and like any child he disobeyed his father to destroy him but like any normal parent Goku did not blame his son, but again sacrificed himself for the good of the whole universe which led to this for a son to lose his father and for his friends to lose Goku, I'm just sorry Madison, hang in there girl 🙂👊

You know a famous and hilarious TFS line comes in when goku tps cell to king Kai’s planet, as he appears he says “Hey king Kai where should I bring ce-“ as cell blows them all to hell lol

“Goodbye…my son.” That just rips your heart into a million pieces. Goku passed the torch and he expressed his love and pride for his son in just three words. And Gohan’s tearful cry of “DADDYYYY!” at the end just made it that much more heartbreaking. Imagine the pain of knowing that despite all of your power, how much you’ve progressed, you still couldn’t save someone you love. Tragic doesn’t even begin to describe it.

[@sanguinephoenix4946]

Love how y’all genuinely enjoy this 😊

It always sucks to see Goku die although it's kinda neat to see what he does when he is dead. Poor Gohan but his job isn't done yet.

[@Mr-Buds82]

i remember this with my mouth wide open that I couldn't believe what was happening that Gohan became so arrogant and the outcome of it! it hit me so hard i was mad at gohan! for that.😅but still he was a bad ass😁.

[@gaborkiss650]

“Can’t he leave now?” Oh Madison, if you’d know how many of us have been asking that for how long…

[@genzowakabayashi2766]

Well, i think we've been thrugh this many times. DBZ presentation of passing time is kinda difficult... in reality propably Goku had split second to get back in and he might not had time to use Instant Transmission that quick again besides... Cell could by that time figure out how it works and touch him, roll over him or something... Goku couldn't make such a risk. Kurririn was the first one to get on his knees when information about Goku strikes Z-Fighters and he yells out the loudest... he propably got himself together quicker as he got more time :D but I think he went thrugh quicker since he was on with Gohan thrugh so many battles and he's Goku's best friend; he felt that it was right thing to do, just like Goku would've done

This episode and later finial atonement are the saddest in the whole show
