Episode Information

Episode Synopsis

Even Cell is unable to move at the rapid fire of the Shin Kikōhō. No. 16 and 18 escape during this time. After Tenshinhan uses up all of his energy and Cell is about to finish him off, Goku teleports there. He challenges Cell, saying that he will definitely defeat him in one day. Saving Tenshinhan and the barely alive Piccolo, Goku teleports to God’s temple, while Cell chases after No. 18. Trunks and Vegeta have finally finished their training in the Room of Spirit and Time. Having powered up, the two of them change into the battle armor that Bulma has brought, and fly off from God’s temple in order to defeat Cell and the artificial humans. Fleeing from Cell, No. 18 and 16 hide themselves in one of many islands, but Cell begins completely destroying these islands.
