"Son Goku's Puzzling Behavior" is the four hundred and second chapter of the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. It was first published in Japan in the 1993 #01 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.

Summary

Cell punches Goku, sending him crashing into a nearby mountain. Cell charges after him, as Goku bursts out of the rubble and fires a whole bunch of blasts. Cell puts up a huge barrier to stop them all, as people around the world watch on TV. An old couple says that looks like Chi-Chi's husband. Bulma is watching with the Turtle Hermit at Kame House, and she thinks Goku is doing great. The Turtle Hermit does not, though. "Goku can't win... Not only that, but I can see that he's fighting while knowing this. I don't know what he has planned, but..." The barrier is gone now, and Goku is panting really hard. Cell says Goku's strength looks to have gone down, and says he can have a senzu if he wants. That will make this an even greater fight.

Trunks yells at Kuririn to do like he says and give Goku a senzu, then he will definitely win. Vegeta yells at Trunks to shut up, saying he has no Saiyan pride. Kakarrot would probably rather die than win like that. Right now, he is not even fighting for the Earth's sake. "It pisses me off to admit it, but with just that special training, I couldn't surpass Kakarrot. That bastard's a genius. But, Cell is one or two steps higher than the present Kakarrot." Trunks asks what they are supposed to do, be quiet and watch? "Aren't you the one that's always saying, 'He must be planning something.' Have some faith in him." Cell asks Goku if he cannot eat a senzu because of his pride, and that Goku's chances of winning would go up a bit if he recovered his full power.

Goku says nothing, then smirks, lands, and the aura around him disappears. "I give up! This is a submission! I know your strength very well now! So I'll stop." Everyone is shocked, and the cameraman relays to Satan and the announcer that he said he is giving up. Cell asks Son Goku if he realizes what this means. If there is no one left to fight in the Cell Games, everyone on the Earth will die. Goku says there is still someone left to fight him, but Cell says it makes no difference, Vegeta and Trunks are not even as strong as Goku is. The announcer tells Mister Satan it is his turn again, and Satan freaks out. But, oh no, Satan suddenly gets a stomach cramp. Too bad... Goku asks if it is okay for him to pick the next person to fight, and Cell realizes he is serious about giving up. Vegeta wonders what the hell is going on, since there is nobody who can win.

 "'''Son Goku's Puzzling Behavior'''" is the four hundred and second chapter of the ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' manga series by [[Akira Toriyama]]. It was first published in Japan in the 1993 #01 issue of Shueisha's ''[[Weekly Shōnen Jump]]''.
 ==Summary==
-Goku says this fight should end the Cell Games. If this person can't win, no one can. Everyone wonders who he means. Goku says that now after having fought against Cell, he's sure this person can win. So he's going to leave it all up to this next person. Cell asks if he's saying that this person is stronger than him (Cell), and Goku says yeah. Cell wants to know who it is, then. (Hopefully it's not Mister Satan, who still has a stomach ache.) Goku says, "It's your turn, Gohan!!" Everyone is shocked, including Gohan. Piccolo thinks Goku's an idiot, wanting to watch his own son die. The cameraman relays that he said it's "Gohan's turn", and the announcer thinks he's being careless, wanting to take a break to have ''bentō'' at a time like this. (''gohan'' also means rice/meal).
+[[Cell]] punches [[Goku]], sending him crashing into a nearby mountain. Cell charges after him, as Goku bursts out of the rubble and fires a whole bunch of blasts. Cell puts up a huge [[Barrier|barrier]] to stop them all, as people around the world watch on TV. An old couple says that looks like [[Chi-Chi|Chi-Chi's]] husband. [[Bulma]] is watching with the [[Turtle Hermit]] at [[Kame House]], and she thinks Goku is doing great. The Turtle Hermit does not, though. "Goku can't win... Not only that, but I can see that he's fighting while knowing this. I don't know what he has planned, but..." The barrier is gone now, and Goku is panting really hard. Cell says Goku's strength looks to have gone down, and says he can have a [[Senzu|senzu]] if he wants. That will make this an even greater fight.
-Goku flies over to the cliff where everyone is standing now, and asks Gohan if he can do it. Gohan is surprised, and Piccolo says of course Gohan can't fight. Goku says Gohan's a lot stronger than they think, and he's always been able to keep up with them. Not even Goku was like that when he was a kid. Kuririn doubts he could really be that strong though. Goku says in the Room of Spirit and Time, Gohan's deeply sealed away dormant powers started to come out. Goku says to Gohan that he didn't think the fight between him and Cell was that great, right? "No, I didn't think so. But, neither of you were fighting all out, right?" Goku says he doesn't know about Cell, but he was going all out. But to Gohan, it felt like Goku was doing shoddily. Piccolo asks if that's true, and Gohan says yes. Vegeta can't believe that brat is so strong. Goku tells Gohan to do it, restore peace to the world so he can become a scholar.
+[[Future Trunks|Trunks]] yells at [[Kuririn]] to do like he says and give Goku a senzu, then he will definitely win. [[Vegeta]] yells at Trunks to shut up, saying he has no [[Saiyan]] pride. Kakarrot would probably rather die than win like that. Right now, he is not even fighting for the [[Earth|Earth's]] sake. "It pisses me off to admit it, but with just that special training, I couldn't surpass Kakarrot. That bastard's a genius. But, Cell is one or two steps higher than the present Kakarrot." Trunks asks what they are supposed to do, be quiet and watch? "Aren't you the one that's always saying, 'He must be planning something.' Have some faith in him." Cell asks Goku if he cannot eat a senzu because of his pride, and that Goku's chances of winning would go up a bit if he recovered his full power.
-Gohan agrees, then takes off his mantle and flies over toward Cell. Goku asks Kuririn for a senzu, and then tosses it to Cell. He tells Cell to eat it, and Kuririn thinks he's crazy. Goku just wants the fight to be fair. Cell thinks they'll regret that, and eats the senzu. Cell feels his full strength again, and Piccolo thinks Goku's being reckless. But then Gohan starts to power up, blowing everyone away.
+Goku says nothing, then smirks, lands, and the aura around him disappears. "I give up! This is a submission! I know your strength very well now! So I'll stop." Everyone is shocked, and the [[ZTV Cameraman|cameraman]] relays to [[Mister Satan|Satan]] and the [[ZTV Reporter|announcer]] that he said he is giving up. Cell asks Son Goku if he realizes what this means. If there is no one left to fight in the [[Cell Games]], everyone on the Earth will die. Goku says there is still someone left to fight him, but Cell says it makes no difference, Vegeta and Trunks are not even as strong as Goku is.
