It was a very neat detail to include latam dub for this specific part 1:55:03. According to the voice actress, Laura Torres, she did it in one take. And because that day she entered the studio with a big emotional charge (maybe from things from her personal life, who knows) and in the context of N16 death and the growing pain Gohan was feeling, Laura released all those emotions in a big organic scream, feeling exactly the same as Gohan in that moment. From the depths of her heart, she became a Super Saiyan too.

So future Bulma would not have known about there being 4 androids since it didn't happen that way in her timeline.

[@Conflict-ff5pi]

I think Trunks as a character is a pretty clear indicator that, at least at the time, Toriyama was pretty well aware of the tropes his series had created by that point, since Trunks himself seems poised to subvert and counteract all those tropes. Killing his opponents as fast as possible, not allowing them to power themselves up, attacking them mid transformation, even him using a weapon at this point in the series is a vastly different way of fighting compared to anybody else, the last person who used a weapon in a fight was Yajirobe an entire 2 arcs ago. Since it suggests Trunk's isn't actually a martial artist like everyone else, he's a warrior who's only aim in a fight is to kill the other person, not improve himself.

[@justinarzola4584]

Trunks is kind of like a Stand- In for the audience for when the Z Fighters do something dumb like letting Cell powering up or transforming.

[@haruhirogrimgar6047]

That is part of why everyone adores the future trunks movie. The way he and Gohan fight is just so much more cathartic.

[@DanEMO592]

Nobody talks enough about how touching it was that 18 refused to leave 16 in his time of need.

As always, the part where different dubs are used is simply on another level of amazing, 16's speech is heartrending obviously, but for me the real clincher is Gohan's raging scream at 1:55:03, where at first it's the Latin Spanish version (Laura Torres) but then it transitions to Colleen Clinkenbeard's scream from Kai. THAT, right there, goes beyond ascending.

[@eddnav]

Laura just nailed it, absolutely insane.

[@GohanLSSJ2]

Actually it seems to transition to Stephanie Nadolny's scream from the OG Z dub instead.

[@jjjjjaabari313]

Considering it's Gokus big send-off having his former rivals and enemies come together to save his son is so amazing.

[@zexalbrony4799]

Agreed. And like the other comment said, it's an amazing addition to what was Goku's send-off. Despite, Goku not really being a hero of justice, as he himself admits in this saga at the end Gohan is more suited to that role than he ever was, and despite his flaw of always wanting to fight the strongest, he is still a good person, who has Mark detailed in the Freeza saga video, knows the important and value of life, and has in turn taught that to his former rivals and enemies so here they stand, trying to do the right thing and try to help Gohon just like they would Goku, and while they do fail until Vegeta makes his move, it is still a powerful and great moment that shows not only Gohon, not only Vegeta, but everyone is trying to carry on in Goku's place. He has inspired them all to be better.

[@UnStorm]

I want to thank the editor of this video for the sequence at 1:53:45 . I know it follows the other sequences from the previous arcs of the review series, but this one feels more special to me. The choice of cover is absolutely perfect and so is the way the editing was made to fit the song itself. The recopilation of previous instances where Gohan was afraid to fight, where he unleashed his rage towards his opponents, until we focus back to the moment at hand, 16's dialogue with varying languages, again, not an unfamiliar sight in this series but still managing to reach to the hearts of fans watching these videos, who watched this series as kids on their native languages. And, of course, ending with the scream of Laura Torres, the VA for Teen Gohan in the Latin American dub, which i grew up with. It is a scream that not only rivals Mazako Nozawa's, but it might as well surpass it. Having that scream echo as the song continues and the memories of a more innocent Gohan flash before our eyes, it was enough to make me shed a tear. I thank the editor for not only making perhaps the most emotional edit yet, but also giving the Latin American dub of Dragon Ball Z (specifically that particular moment) the recognition and respect it deserves. I love Mazako Nozawa. I love the Japanese dub, and it's my preferred way of watching Dragon Ball. But sometimes I am reminded that the dub of my people sometimes managed to go places and resonate with people when a lot of other dubs could not.

Hey Mark, I've been following your videos for quite some time now. Initially what drew me to your channel was the interesting insight with which you reviewed the different sections/characters of Dragon Ball. What keeps me coming back is your passion and dedication to your craft. You have this unique power of helping us view these stories in a new light while simultaneously re-experiencing some of our most cherished core memories. I'm not afraid to admit that I've been brought to tears several times by the love and respect you've demonstrated in these videos. You have never once shown an ounce of arrogance and have time and again acknowledged that people can have varying opinions while still having a mutual adoration for the story. When I read the comments on your videos, I can see that there are thousands of people who are moved by your content in exactly the same way. When I saw the montage of clips during Gohan's ascension to SSJ2, I kid you not, I literally said the words "Oh my God" and completely broke down in tears. Through your work, I understand the sheer impact art can have on people. You and your team have truly created something special here. I'm sure there are times when this line of work is absolutely brutal, I was particularly sad to see the ordeal you went through last year and I'm so happy to see you bounce back from it all. If you ever have days where you feel regret or second thoughts about your decision going into this, I hope you remember how grateful we all are that you chose to do so.

I've always said that Goku making Gohan fight Cell was akin to a dad seeing that his son had potential to be a star athlete and signing him up for a team in school, ignoring that his son isn't actually interested in sports. And that his son was only doing it because he didn't want to disappoint his dad.

[@mikeclark7026]

If that son was about to play the Monstars for the fate of the planet, sure. People who demean this decision are insane, Goku DIDN’T HAVE A CHOICE. And yes, he may not have understood his son, but even if he did, this was still the only way. The planet had 10 days left before it was blown up, no one else can get remotely close enough in training in that time, even with the chamber. Once Goku went to Korin and he told him how he stacked up to Cell, Goku knew that Earth only had one hope.

[@tynanpreece5539]

@@mikeclark7026I think the one issue I have is that, at no point does Goku explicitly explain the plan to Gohan. Gohan is clearly surprised and caught off guard by the decision. That’s why it’s a dumb decision, though not the dumbest in the arc by far

[@jordanread5829]

Toriyama seamlessly transitioning between the meddling behind the scenes is indeed a triumph. Android 20 rushing back to his lab to release more powerful, but insubordinate minions after the loss of 19? Clever. Cell needing to absorb 17 and 18 to become perfect, while also exploring the dangers of time travel and how that power can be exploited by evil? On top of showing just how far Dr Gero will go for revenge, to the point of playing God by creating something like Cell? Amazing.

[@jp3813]

The best storytellers can take inspiration from unexpected situations. Like Steven Spielberg making Jaws scarier due to the mechanical shark not working.

[@fiucik1]

Actually I'd say that idea of making Cell the way, that he needs to absorb androids to become perfect is kinda dumb if you think about it. Why not make Cell perfect in the first place? How come, that he gains power from absorbing people(as in organic tissue) and androids alike? If so, why did he exactly had to absorb No17 and 18? Why not absorb for example No16? Ok, that dude is huge, but how about unconscious Vegeta, why not absorb yielding Trunks? The whole idea of Cell having absorb exactly these 2 androids is kinda a stretch if you ask me? And speaking of plotholes, why didn't Goku finish off Cell when Gohan was playing with him. I mean after he spitted out No18 his power dropped to a level when Goku, Vegeta, Trunks or even Picolo would have ended him in a matter of seconds. Why plea with Gohan to take Cell out of his misery, when Goku could have just stepped up and carry out the deeds himself?

[@jp3813]

@@fiucik1 Well, the entire franchise is filled w/ such stretches, especially since the Dragon Balls could've made things much easier for each arc. I always got the impression that the creation of Cell took Gero to unexpected places. That the latter wasn't completely in control of his creations. Hence, his death. As for the others not stepping in, I believe it's due to the combination of them being weakened by the Cell Juniors, Gohan being extremely dominant, not knowing that Cell had anything left up his sleeve, and the arrangement of fighting him one-on-one.

[@fiucik1]

@@jp3813 True, but I still think that Cell just needing to absorb Androids 17 and 18 is a little bit too convenient of a plot device... And as far as I recall, they already got the senzu beans after Gohan despatched Cell Jrs. So if Goku was so concerned about Gohan playing with Cell for too long, he could have just finished him on his own. Like he did with Frieza in Super(although that actually sucked)...

[@jp3813]

@@fiucik1 The one w/ Freeza in Super was a do-over. Before the rewind, Goku failed in protecting the Earth. Hence, that's pretty consistent w/ his decisions in the Cell arc. Like I said, it was a combination of factors. I actually think "inconvenient" is the word to describe the absorption of 17 & 18. The easier plot point would be that Cell just gets stronger as he matures and he time traveled to foil Trunks' mission. 19 & 20 get killed off; 16, 17, & 18 eventually become allied w/ the Z-Fighters; and Cell becomes the main villain.
