Alright folks, this is it. The ending of volume 35 and the Cell arc is below. Now we're entering the realm that even MangaPolo on YouTube hasn't touched: the Boo arc. If there's anything you want me to keep an eye out for as I'm going through these just let me know. No promises if I'm getting started on the rest tonight, but don't be surprised if you see another post or two.
Chapter 415 - "A Message From Son Goku"
Chapter 416 - "Kamehameha vs Kamehameha: A Final Showdown"
Chapter 417 - "The Grand Finale"
Chapter 418 - "Farewell, Warriors"
Chapter 419 - "One More Conclusion"
Chapter 420 - "Peace for the Future…"

I don't think yellow Kamehamehas will ever NOT bother me. :crazy:

I like it better than I do blue. Though I think Blue should be Super Kamehameha. But if that happens then Z era always would have blue :lol:

I do like how they acknowledged that it was base Goku and not SS Goku, who helped in the Kamehameha struggle.

Yellow matches the auras far better, and it's during the Cell Games that the Kamehameha design changes to become part of the user's aura, so anything else wouldn't work I don't think. Although the Kamehameha/Galick Gun clash did look terrible with both attacks being yellow.

What color is Cell's larva form and his core after his self destruction? Can't actually see the former in the first image, and the latter got skipped over to when he was already reformed in the second image:

I get a perverse pleasure out of all these alternate color schemes from the anime. There's nothing inherently wrong with things like Gohan's belt and wristbands being red, or Kuririn's shirt being red, or Babidi's... skirt...? being blue, but I'll take anything I can get.

I should apologize for the quality of the tournament arc. Some of those have as little as 7 previews. There are so many funny but different moments and by choosing one I sacrifice the others. But a lot of those panels are similar for pages on end and it would be boring (at least to me) to see multiple panels of the same people.

Chapter 451 - "The Demon Beast Yakon’s Feast"
Chapter 452 - "Dabra Takes the Stage!!"
Chapter 453 - "The Fate of the Finals"
Chapter 454 - "The Winner is Decided!!!"
Chapter 455 - "An Evil Heart is Found"

Anyone else feel like there's a lack of atmosphere in these? Something just feels "off" about the sky. I swear it's the same shade of blue in every panel throughout the series.
