Original subtitles

[NARRATOR] On the last episode of Dragon Ball Z,

the wicked Cell Jrs. drove our heroes

straight into the dirt!

Enduring hit after brutal hit,

the powerful Z Fighters were beaten and broken,

left to die in the lonely desert ring.

Not even Piccolo or the Super Saiyans

could turn back the dreadful attackers.

[NARRATOR] With a painful gasp of realization,

Goku began to think he'd been wrong about his son.

[NARRATOR] And through all the horror, Gohan watched!

[CELL] Now take your anger and feed off of it

before it's too late for your friends!

[NARRATOR] Meanwhile, Mr. Satan showed a sliver of courage

as he answered the body-less 16's plea

and threw him into the battle,

for the exploded android had one last message for the young boy.

[ANDROID 16] Gohan, let it go.

I do know how you feel, Gohan,

but it is not a sin to fight for the right cause

for there are those who words alone will not reach.

Let it go.

[NARRATOR] And then, with a swift and fatal step,

16's head was crushed before Gohan's eyes.

[NARRATOR] And the light of the gentle Android faded.

[CELL] Yet another fighter you could have saved.

[NARRATOR] Before his death,

16 asked Gohan to protect all the life he loved.

To let go of his restraints and fight.

And now he will.

If there was a button to press, Cell has pressed it.

If there was a final wall, Cell has torn it down.

For the gentleness in Gohan has flown away!

And the power has awoken.

[GOHAN screams]

[NARRATOR] Today, on Dragon Ball Z!

[GOHAN screams]

[screaming continues]

[CELL chuckles]

[VEGETA gasps]

It's unreal!

This is it!

[GOHAN growls]

[PICCOLO] Gohan's releasing his energy!

[KRILLIN] G-Gohan...

[GOHAN growling]

That a boy, Gohan.

[CELL laughs]

So, that's it, huh?

[CELL] You are making the same mistake Trunks did, boy!

Don't think you can beat me just by powering up.

Huh...?

[CELL JR. 3 giggles]

[TRUNKS grunts]

[screaming]

[KRILLIN yells]

[YAMCHA grunting]

[VEGETA grunts]

[CELL JR. 1 giggles]

[VEGETA yells]

[ANNOUNCER & MR. SATAN whimper]

[GOKU chuckles weakly]

[GOKU grunting]

[GOHAN] Stop it!

Huh...?

[GOHAN] That's enough!!

[screaming]

[YAMCHA grunts]

[PICCOLO yells]

[GOHAN] Tell them to stop it!

[CELL gasps]

That's the way.

Let it all go!

[GOHAN growls]

[GOHAN screams]

Incredible!

[screaming continues]

[GOKU chuckles]

Ohhhhh.

Oh no, this whole place is gonna blow!

[screaming]

[CROWD gasping]

[BOTH gasp]

[CHICHI screams]

[OX-KING yells]

[MR. SATAN groans, ANNOUNCER whimpers]

[VEGETA gasps]

[CELL JR. 7 gasps]

[GOKU chuckles]

[GOHAN] I can never forgive you for what you've done!

[CELL stammers]

[CELL gasps]

[CELL] At last you've come out of hiding.

Now the game will really get exciting!

[GOHAN] No games.

[CELL gasps]

H-How did you?!

[CELL] The Senzu Beans! How did you get them?!

[CELL growls]

[growling]

[screaming]

[CELL gasps]

After all the time we've spent trying to kill these things,

he does it in one blow!

[TRUNKS] Gohan, you're amazing!

[GOKU chuckles weakly]

I told you so!

[PICCOLO grunts]

G-Gohan...

[CELL JRs. gasp]

[CELL gasps]

But how...?!

He's so fast!

He did it right!

He increased his strength without losing speed!

[BOTH growl]

[giggling]

[giggling continues]

[giggling]

[BOTH gasp]

[CELL JR. 6 growls]

Gohan... Don't worry about me...

Just do what'cha gotta do!

Do it, Gohan!

[CELL JR. 6 gasps]

[GOHAN snarls]

I-I can't believe what I'm seeing!

[GOKU chuckles weakly]

[CELL growls]

[CHICHI] Wh-What happened...?

[OX-KING] ChiChi! Oh good, you're alright!

Did anything happen to my precious Gohan?!

Please, you've have to tell me!

I don't know.

He was building up his power and then the TV went on the fritz!

Oh, my brave, little warrior!

He's too young to be fighting!

He should be at home studying!

But no, he had to listen to his father instead of me!

Hey!

Your son Gohan is no longer a baby!

Why, he's transcended Goku

and he's become an honorable warrior!

I know it's hard for you to accept,

but both your husband and son are battling

to save this entire planet!

Without them, we're gone!

Oh sure, I wish it was me instead of him,

but Gohan is the only hope we have left!

C'mon, ChiChi. Everything will be okay.

[CHICHI] Is there more?

Or are you done preaching to me?

[OX-KING whimpers]

But, ChiChi--!

[OX-KING gasps]

[CHICHI growls]

Get out of here!

[CHICHI grunts]

[OX-KING gasps]

You're saying I don't know my own son?!

You think just by saving the Earth,

he'll be able to get into a good school?!

And then what? You think he'll be able to get a descent job?!

You're the one who doesn't have a clue!

[OX-KING] Alright, ChiChi, just calm down!

[CHICHI] You want ME to calm down?!

Someone else can fight those stupid battles!

I just don't want him to be a hooligan!

Goku, you bring me back my baby right now!

Huh...?

[thinking] So this is the power Goku was bragging about!

Hmph!

Well, let's just see it against all five of them!

[GOHAN yells]

[grunting]

[GOHAN grunts]

No one's watching me!

Don't they realize that I'm the real star of this show?!

I'm the one who threw that guy's head over there!

This is all because of me!

He... could win!

I don't believe it!

Ladies and gentlemen,

that brave little kid is fighting a valiant battle

against a throng of blood thirsty Mini-Cells!

Hey, would you keep rolling you amateur?!

B-But I can't! It's all broken!

Well, fix it then!

Don't you realize we're missing the scoop of the century?!

[growling]

[screaming]

[GOHAN yells]

[grunting]

[GOHAN yells]

[VEGETA] He just blew all those creatures off

with nothing but his energy!

[TRUNKS] And look at him! He's perfectly calm!

It's like he hasn't even warmed up yet!

Goku, are you okay?

Uhh, yeah...

[PICCOLO grunts]

Didn't I tell you so? He's going to do it, Piccolo.

[GOKU chuckles]

[PICCOLO growls]

Gohan...

[screaming]

[CELL JR.] Destructo-Disc!

[CELL JR.] Kamehame... HA!

[CELL JR.] Special beam cannon!

Tri-Beam... HA!

[CELL JR. gasps]

[GOHAN screams]

[CELL JRs. screaming]

I said before, I could never forgive you!

[GOHAN growls]

[CELL JR. screams]

[GOHAN grunts]

[CELL JR. screams]

[GOHAN grunts]

[CELL JR. gasps]

[CELL JR. gasps]

[CELL JR. grunts]

[CELL snarls]

[growling]

Look at what you've done!

[PICCOLO] Nothing is holding Gohan back now.

He's finally learned how to tap into his power at will!

Now it's time to pay, Cell.

You're going to face up to your crimes.

Pass these around, Trunks!

Huh...?

Sure.

[CELL gasps]

[CELL growls]

[NARRATOR] And so, the demonstration has been made!

After releasing his incredible hidden power,

Gohan has erased all seven of the vicious Cell Jrs.

without the slightest difficulty.

Now he moves to a bigger and better enemy:

the mighty Cell himself!

Are the predictions of Goku correct?

Can Gohan indeed put an end to Cell

and all of his tormenting games?

Has the role of the planet's protector been passed on

from father... to son?

The climactic battle begins,

next time on Dragon Ball Z!
