The world falls into panic as people clamor to take refuge from Cell! At Capsule Corporation's laboratory, Bulma and her father repair No. 16. Goku emerges with Gohan from the Room of Spirit and Time, and after hearing of the Cell Games from Trunks and the others, he teleports to Cell, who is waiting at the tournament grounds. He then returns after confirming Cell's power-up, and announces that he will train with Gohan in the lower realm for the next nine days. Vegeta and the others are astonished!

Notes

  • While analyzing Android 16's programming, snippets of the real world BASIC programming language are displayed. BASIC was a popular language for teaching young people how to code; its inclusion in the anime may be either to present a programming language that young adults would recognize, or to depict Dr. Gero's development style in a humorous and childlike way.
  • In that same sequence, brief monochrome depictions can be seen of key events and locations in the series: Goku as a child firing a kamehameha, Goku fighting Nappa, Kame House, Goku firing a kamehameha at Freeza while using kaiōken, Goku collecting ki for a Genki-Dama, Goku's home on Mount Paozu, and Goku fighting against Freeza as a Super Saiyan.
