Goku, Gohan, and Chi-Chi are having a picnic next to a lake, and Goku points out a huge fish in the lake. Gohan asks if it's okay to be this carefree, and Goku tells him not to worry, it'll probably all work out. Gohan doesn't like the "probably", but Goku assures him they can win, so there's no point in training anymore. Chi-Chi tells them their lunch is ready, so they go to eat. Some time passes, and then they're driving down a road. Goku says that all the shops are closed, and Chi-Chi says it's because they think they're all going to die in seven days, so they're not working. Then a newsman comes on over the radio, and Goku says there's someone working. The newsman says the Royal Army is on its way to 28 KS Point 5 to attack the monster called Cell. Goku yells at them to stop, since they'll just be killed.
Piccolo asks why he won't go back in, and Goku says he won't get anywhere in there since it's too harsh on the body; getting plenty of rest will be better. Vegeta thinks the room was too rough for even the great Kakarrot. Goku says all that pointless work on the body is just painful, not training. But he has no problem if they want to go in there, there's still room for them to work in there. Vegeta doesn't like how Kakarrot is talking like his strength is greater than his. Goku says it's much greater, and Vegeta freaks out. Goku wishes them all good luck, and says they'll meet again at the tournament. He flies off, and Gohan follows. On their way down toward Earth, Goku says they'll make a quick stop, and they drop in on Karin.


A bunch of tanks, planes, and soldiers approach Cell's ring, and the foolish army has arrived. Cell flies out of the ring, and someone says he's getting away. Cell lands on a nearby mountain, thinking he just doesn't want his ring to get destroyed. Someone yells not to let him get away, and to start the offensive. A bunch of tanks and missiles are fired at Cell, and Goku's family is listening to the play-by-play on the radio. The commander calls for the attacks to cease, as they've done enough. But, when the smoke clears, Cell is completely unscathed. Everyone tries to retreat, but Cell just waves his hand, and blows them all up. Cell thinks that was a waste of time, as Goku turns off the radio. Goku tells Chi-Chi and Gohan to go home, he has business with Piccolo. He then steps out of the car and teleports away.
They say hello to Karin, and to Yajirobe. Yajirobe says he ain't entering that tournament no matter what, and Goku says that's not why he came. Karin says terrible things are happening to the Earth, and Goku says Cell's even more incredible now that he's reached his perfect form. Karin thinks Goku looks really calm even so, and asks if he discovered something wonderful in the Room of Spirit and Time. Goku kind of laughs it off, and Gohan wonders if he really did discover something, but he was with his father the whole time. Goku asks Karin if he knows how strong Cell is, and Karin says not really, but he could estimate it. Goku asks him to try and compare Cell's to his own, he'll raise his ''ki''.


When Goku arrives at God's Palace, the first thing he asks is if Piccolo has been in the Room of Spirit and Time too (Vegeta must be in there now), since his level has gone way up. Piccolo says that he has, but he doubts he's any match for Cell and Goku affirms it. Piccolo smirks and says he's really blunt, and then asks why he came here. Goku asks Piccolo if he and God can split again now that they've reunited, since he wants to return all the people that Cell killed back to life. Piccolo says no, they've split once and can't do it again. Goku had figured not, and then says he wants to find the planet the surviving Namekians went to. Surely someone there would be willing to come to Earth. Then they'd have another God, and the Dragon Balls would be restored!
Tenshinhan wonders if Goku and Gohan were really Super Saiyans, since they seemed so natural. Piccolo says they definitely were, but they seem to be training by staying at an ordinary everyday level. Trunks thinks it must be so they could do an even more incredible transformation when it's time to battle, but Vegeta says no. Vegeta explains that they've deduced that that state is best, because if they get accustomed to it, then they can up their battle power with little strain to the body. Then all of a sudden, at Karin's place, Goku starts to power up. He nearly blows Karin and Yajirobe away, and Karin yells at him to stop. The others at God's Palace feel Goku's ''ki'', and can't believe it.
 
Goku tells Karin this is half his power, and Karin thinks it's crazy to be that strong. Gohan thinks, "So this is how amazing father has gotten..." Now Goku asks him to compare him to Cell. Karin gets silent, and then says this is just a guess, but Cell is a bit greater. Goku realizes his own estimation was correct, and thanks Karin. He touches Gohan on the shoulder and the two teleport away. Yajirobe thinks Goku ain't human anymore, while Karin wonders why Goku's so calm. Vegeta, meanwhile, is pissed at Kakarrot for always being one step ahead of him, and yells at Piccolo to hurry up and go in the room. Goku and Gohan arrive at Kame House, and Goku says they'll get Chi-Chi and go home. There, they'll have three days of rest, three days of training, and then another three days of rest. Gohan wonders if all this is really good and Goku says to just go get his mom. Chi-Chi screams when she sees Gohan's hair color, thinking he's turned into a delinquent. There are nine days until the Cell Games...

Summary

Piccolo asks why he won't go back in, and Goku says he won't get anywhere in there since it's too harsh on the body; getting plenty of rest will be better. Vegeta thinks the room was too rough for even the great Kakarrot. Goku says all that pointless work on the body is just painful, not training. But he has no problem if they want to go in there, there's still room for them to work in there. Vegeta doesn't like how Kakarrot is talking like his strength is greater than his. Goku says it's much greater, and Vegeta freaks out. Goku wishes them all good luck, and says they'll meet again at the tournament. He flies off, and Gohan follows. On their way down toward Earth, Goku says they'll make a quick stop, and they drop in on Karin.

They say hello to Karin, and to Yajirobe. Yajirobe says he ain't entering that tournament no matter what, and Goku says that's not why he came. Karin says terrible things are happening to the Earth, and Goku says Cell's even more incredible now that he's reached his perfect form. Karin thinks Goku looks really calm even so, and asks if he discovered something wonderful in the Room of Spirit and Time. Goku kind of laughs it off, and Gohan wonders if he really did discover something, but he was with his father the whole time. Goku asks Karin if he knows how strong Cell is, and Karin says not really, but he could estimate it. Goku asks him to try and compare Cell's to his own, he'll raise his ki.

Tenshinhan wonders if Goku and Gohan were really Super Saiyans, since they seemed so natural. Piccolo says they definitely were, but they seem to be training by staying at an ordinary everyday level. Trunks thinks it must be so they could do an even more incredible transformation when it's time to battle, but Vegeta says no.
