Episode Information

Episode Synopsis

Cell musters all of his power and attacks Vegeta, but even these attacks don’t hit Vegeta, who begins to knock Cell around. Cell can’t believe the extreme gap between their powers. Displaying his overwhelming power, Vegeta looks down upon Cell as not even being worth killing. With no hand left to play, and with his pride shattered, all Cell can do is complain that he would definitely not lose if he were to reach his perfect form. Hearing this, Vegeta’s fighting spirit stirs. Cell uses the Saiyan instinct to seek strong opponents to stir up Vegeta. Meanwhile, having discovered No. 16 and 18, Kuririn approaches them with the emergency stop controller. But Kuririn has fallen in love with No. 18 and smashes the controller!
