I'm guessing this is the final batch of episodes. There's only 19 episodes left!

It could just be a total tease and have one new episode and be like "TUNE IN NOVEMBER __ WHEN THE DRAGON BALL Z KAI SAGA COMES TO AN END".

I remember when they aired one of the Freeza episodes after a long break only to have the next actual batch of episodes not air til over a month later.

That would kind of suck if its only one episode but at least we will be able to finally hear Daemon Clarke's Perfect Cell voice in Kai.

I thought the new episode was supposed to air on October 10th but it looks like it was delayed until October 17th. Oh well its only an extra seven days.

Episode 80 is up on Nicktoons

http://nicktoons.nick.com/videos/clip/d ... art-a.html

In the link, replace "cart-a" with "cart-b" and "cart-c", etc. to get to the other parts of the episode.

Yeah...Perfect Cell sounds way too close to Semi-Perfect Cell for my taste. Hopefully it'll be like Z where the first couple of episodes for Perfect cell are strange until he gets it down properly.

I must say I am disappointed with Daemon Clarke's Perfect Cell's voice. As much as I was looking forward to it there seemed to be something off about it. I really WANT to love the voice but I just can't.

However, I really loved Chris Sabat's performance of Vegeta in this episode so that was good..

Damn, Clarke's Perfect Cell was a huge disappointment. He sounds so off. I was worried this might happen after hearing how awful his Cell was in Burst Limit.

Just watched the first half. I love Coleen's performance when she tells Goku he's too soft, and that he's a crappy teacher.

You know, if I'd never heard Dameon's original Perfect Cell, I'd be more than OK with this voice. Especially considering how close it is to Norio's version.

Honestly? I like it.

You know, I'm starting to wonder, are they trying to have the voice actors only imitate their japanese counterparts instead of letting them do their own thing? Because Dameon sounds like he's making a lot of the same slip ups Norio was making in the japanese version of this show, i.e., sounding flat and dull when screaming for #18 to come out of her hiding place, sounding too much like Semi-Perfect Cell as Perfect Cell, etc...

Same, he really does sound more like Wakamoto.

You know, I don't think his Perfect Cell voice sounded that bad, at least later in the Episode. At first, I thought he sounded like a mix between Abridged Guru and Johnny Bravo, but he started recapturing that charm later.

That's actually why I initially thought that Burst Limit was the game where Cell was voiced by someone doing an impression of Clarke, while in Raging Blast it actually was him.

I didn't like Clarke's Cell in this episode either, obviously he'll get back into the character later, but for some reason I'm starting to wish Travis Willingham would have gotten to voice Cell in Kai.

Yeah, what happened? He sounds like an impressionist than the actual guy!

I don't know why people are disliking Dameon Clarke's new Cell voice.
He sounds like a proper villain this time (and a good one at that) instead of a gay-club bartender (don't ask).

He sounds so...menacing.

Maybe Nicktoons will show the last episodes regularly until the final 5, which they will air them everyday of the week up until the finale.

Or just combine the last 3 or 4 episodes together and still do the final 5 though it would be final 8 or 9....
