I hope that's not the sound clip of the actual scream, because if it is, then I can't help but feel a little underwhelmed by it. Maybe I just built myself up for it too much or something.

The scream is a little disappointing to be honest.

Relax. They obviously potted down the sound of the scream for the commercial. The real deal will probably be much louder and better.

Now that you mention it, it does sound a lot like they clipped
this scream and overlaid it on the SSJ2 Gohan shot in that promo. Cool, I've got nothing to worry about, then.

It's definitely a different scream than the one in episode 90 if you listen closely.

This. It just sounds underwhelming because of all the music in the background. The real thing should be much better.

No, they're just not showing episode 97 until the new year. 98's not gonna air, as far as we know.
But considering GT's supposed to start airing one week after episode 97 airs, the chances of episode 98 ever airing are low.

It might air the same day as 97.

Well this pretty much sums up the fate of
Kai. I guess it means that Episode 97 airs Christmas Eve?

The action continues as Gohan and the rest of the Saiyans battle out against the powerful Cell, but nothing seems to be slowing him down. Can the Saiyans defeat this ultimate warrior and save the Earth from total destruction? Tell us your thoughts!

Obviously the "Lost Episode" in question is Episode 98. So can someone please (and I'll do it too if I see it) post the code shown to Episode 98 in case we miss it on TV. Guess the true finale won't even air on American TV.

Yeah, someone should post the codes here, smart move on their part in calling it a lost episode, it'll make people want to watch it more, bad move for people who can't catch the episode as it premieres.

Clinkenbeard's scream was awesome. They just didn't mix it right. They should have potted it up a bit.

Awesome. Much better than that horrible, horrible internal monologue from the old dub.

Could of done a bit better with the scream, but otherwise I'm not disappointing.
I still don't like the music they used for that scene. Really underwhelming if you ask me .
