"Defeat or Death?!" is the four hundredth chapter of the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. It was first published in Japan in the 1992 #51 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.

Summary

Cell delivers a hard punch to Goku's face, and then goes for another, but Goku ducks it and kicks Cell into the air. Goku teleports up in the air behind Cell, and strikes at him, but it was just an afterimage. The real Cell is behind Goku now, and he swats at him, but Goku just barely dodges. They float there in mid-air, while Satan and the announcer wonder where they went, and Kuririn is amazed at their speed. Cell says he did not think it would be this fun, and he would hate for it to end from a ring-out. He says he will remove ring-outs being a loss from the rules, since they have no need for it. Goku screams down at everyone to get away from the ring, as Cell points his hands down at the ring, preparing to destroy it.

There is a giant boom, and just like that a big hole appears in the ground where the ring used to be. Everyone has made it to safety though, with No. 16 having taken care of Satan and the others. He tells them to leave, they are in the way, but they will not listen. Cell and Goku both land on the ground, and Cell says now the whole ground will be their ring. And now, victory will be decided by either giving up, or death. Goku agrees they should get to it. Cell fires a blast, but Goku dodges it. Cell fires another, and Goku dodges again. Cell fires a whole bunch this time, and Goku does his best to dodge them all, then he takes to the air.

Goku begins to power up a Kamehameha, but Cell says Goku would never fire one from there. "If you do, the Earth itself will be in danger!!" But Goku continues charging up his attack. As the attack is nearly finished, Cell begins to look terrified, realizing Goku is actually going to fire the Kamehameha at him and the Earth!

 "'''Defeat or Death?!'''" is the four hundredth chapter of the ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' manga series by [[Akira Toriyama]]. It was first published in Japan in the 1992 #51 issue of Shueisha's ''[[Weekly Shōnen Jump]]''.
 ==Summary==
-Goku is still mid-air, aiming down at Cell, and Piccolo wonders if he really intends to fire that full power ''Kamehameha''. Kuririn thinks he won't, since the Earth would get blown up, and Cell doubts it too. Goku doesn't halt, and Cell and Vegeta both realize he does intend to fire it. But then Goku suddenly teleports and appears right in front of Cell, and he fires the ''Kamehameha'' full on. Cell is blown away, and when the smoke clears, Cell's headless, armless body is laying on the ground. Yamcha gets really excited, but Trunks and Kuririn don't. Satan thinks he did fairly well. Goku thinks Cell still has a lot of ''ki'' left for being in that condition, and Kuririn yells that Cell will probably revive himself.

The real Cell is behind Goku now, and he swats at him, but Goku just barely dodges.

Goku screams down at everyone to get away from the ring, as Cell points his hands down at the ring, preparing to destroy it.
-The remains of Cell hops back to its feet, then sprouts out a new head and arms and everything. The announcer and Satan freak out, while Goku realizes he can regenerate himself. Cell says just like Piccolo. Goku didn't think he could really win so easily, but at least now Cell's ''ki'' has dropped a lot. Cell notes that Goku's ''ki'' has also dropped a lot, and he's breathing hard. Cell advises Goku not to do anymore pointless attacks, so he doesn't use up his strength and make the fight boring. Goku agrees, and charges at Cell with a punch, but Cell dodges. Goku blocks a kick, but then takes a hit to the face.
+There is a giant boom, and just like that a big hole appears in the ground where the ring used to be.
