"A Raging Semi" is the twentieth episode of the third season of Team Four Star's DragonBall Z Abridged and is the fiftieth episode overall. It was first uploaded to YouTube on September 16, 2015.
Plot[]
In the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Gohan is trying to become a Super Saiyan but is getting nowhere. Goku believes he's getting it but tells him that in order to become a Super Saiyan, he must have strong raw emotion. He then uses his experience on Namek as an example, even though Gohan says he was there, causing Goku to ask why he didn't become a Super Saiyan if he saw what he just said.
Meanwhile, Vegeta still has his fist inside Cell, who asks him to remove it. Vegeta complies, but it hurts Cell, who asks for a moment. However, Vegeta attacks Cell and causes the cliff to collapse into the water and Trunks almost falls in. Android 18, watching this, is surprised that Vegeta is strong enough to take on Cell when he couldn't take on her before, something Android 16, due to his damages, can't find. Vegeta mocks Cell's attempts to hit him and knocks him against a wall. An angry Cell charges up, getting the notice of Krillin who realizes the androids are on the island. Vegeta allows Cell to give him a free punch, which he does so immediately, but Vegeta doesn't even flinch from it. Cell is shocked that Vegeta has gotten stronger thanks to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and fires a Galick Gun against him.
Up on Kami lookout, Piccolo and Tenshinhan wonder if they're rooting for Vegeta, or against Cell. Bulma tries to defend Vegeta, but the two shoot it down reminding her that he left her a single mother. However, she is quick to counter that she's rich (being heiress to Capsule Corp) and therefore can afford literally anything she needs to care for baby Trunks. Neither can refute this, so they refocus on the battle.
Vegeta isn't too impressed by Cell's attack, and beats Cell some more into the water. Krillin seeing this, finds the androids and debates whether to detonate 18. Vegeta tries to find Cell, but he gets grappled by him. Vegeta grabs Cell's tail and kicks him against a boulder wall. Cell can't believe this is happening to him and refuses to believe Vegeta is stronger. Vegeta rubs more salt in the wounds by remarking that Trunks is almost as strong as him, even though he makes more snide remarks against him regarding his hair color. Cell then whines that he just wants to become perfect, causing Vegeta to break his body and spirit. Before Vegeta can finish him, Cell says if Vegeta arrived later, he would have been in his perfect form, and would be more of a challenge. Vegeta takes this in interest, much to Trunks horror.
Meanwhile in the chamber, Goku and Gohan relax in a bath, with Gohan remarking that it's nice being with him. Goku reminds him that they still need to not hold back and plays splash attack with his son. Goku however goes too far and fires a Kamehameha at Gohan.

Trivia[]
- After seven years, Dragon Ball Z Abridged has reached its 50th episode.
- Cell whining about wanting to become Perfect is like how Vegeta whined about wanting to become a Super Saiyan. Though considering Vegeta's DNA is inside Cell, this isn't surprising.
- Not only is Cell's ass capable of speaking, it has the same voice as his Imperfect form.
- This scene was inspired by WeeklyTubeShow's video: P*ccolo: Last Fan Standing, in which Imperfect Cell also talks out his ass.
- Cell explains that its due to Vegeta's DNA that he "talks out his ass"
- Vegeta is genuinely disturbed to see this.
- This is the first time someone (Vegeta) speaks during the ending screen.
- Goku questioning why Gohan didn't go super Saiyan can be explained easily. Goku has been through tons of battle and emotional trauma with his childhood than Gohan; so he had the experience necessary.
- Vegeta says "sure you can" to Semi-Perfect Cell before performing a "Shoryuken" at him. Another reference to the Street Fighter series.
- This could be a reference to how Freeza using a Shoryuken against King Vegeta.
- In the Canadian subs, Caulifla is mentioned when Goku says that Gohan just can't power up to become a Super Saiyan

Episode Transcription (English)[]
GOHAN: Aaah! Aaaaahh!! Aaaaaaahhh!!! Aaaaaaaaahhhh!!!!
GOKU: Good try, Gohan! But you can't just power up and become a Super Saiyan. It comes from pure, raw, emotion. You know where *I* was when I became a Super Saiyan?
GOHAN: Yes, you--
GOKU: I was on Namek. I thought I'd finally defeated Freezer with the Spirit Bomb. But as it turns out... he was *still alive*!
GOHAN: Dad, I was ther--
GOKU: He killed Vegeta, and he killed Krillin,
GOHAN: I saw everythi--
GOKU: Piccolo⊠tripped or... something⊠It was pretty bad for everyone. Then, he threatened to do the same to MY SON! Oh hey, you were there! Why didn't you go Super Saiyan?
GOHAN: (Sigh)
SEMI-PERFECT CELL: Stop fisting me!
VEGETA: Okay.
SeP CELL: HURRHG! Not all at once! Just... can I⊠have a minute...?
VEGETA: Sure you can.
SeP CELL: Well, thank you. That's appreciaâ [Struck by a Shoryuken] D'AH-AAUGH...!
VEGETA: C-C-C-COMBO!
TRUNKS: (Sigh)
"ANDROID" 18: Wait, so I beat Vegeta...
ANDROID 16 [off-screen]: Data not found.
18: But now Vegeta is wrecking Cell...
16 [o-s]: Data not found.
18: Okay, do you have anything substantial to add to this?
16: ...Do you?
18: ...Data not found.
SeP CELL: Hurrrargh!
VEGETA: Ya know, maybe if you'd actually TRAINED instead of gorging yourself on a worthless species, your punches might actually hit a little closer to home.
SeP CELL: (Cries of pain)
SeP CELL: (Cries of pain)
CELL'S ASS [as Imp. Cell]: Hahahaha, ah, this is an unfortunate turn of events.
VEGETA [genuinely disturbed]: Did you just... talk out your ass?
SeP CELL: Well... to be fair, Vegeta, you are part of my DNA.
VEGETA: Oo, that is the closest thing you've done to damage since I've gotten here.
SeP CELL: Allow me to fix that...
KRILLIN: Is that Cell or Vegeta? Dun' matter; steering clear o' that. Except, if I were a bettin' boy, that's⊠...probably where the Androids are. Stealth Mode, don't fail me now.
SeP CELL: There we are. Now, do you understand, Vegeta?
VEGETA: What I understand is I'm about to pound you so hard, the boy's mother is going to be jealous.
TRUNKS: Oh, can we not?!
VEGETA: But, if it makes you feel any better, I'll give you one free shot. But I'm warning you, if you waste i--
SeP CELL: UURGH!
VEGETA: (Chuckling) *you're gonna regret it*...
SeP CELL: ...How? Hooww?! How did you get this strong?!
VEGETA: I trained *all* day yesterday.
SeP CELL: Oh, you think you're being *cute*!
VEGETA: Bitch, I'm adorable.
SeP CELL: Fine! Then how about THIS?! GALICK GUN...
VEGETA: Hohoho, and that's just precious...
SeP CELL: FIRRRRE!!!
TENSHINHAN: So we're *actually* rooting for Vegeta?
PICCOLO: Let's be honest - we're rooting *against* Cell.
TENSHINHAN: What do we do if he wins?
PICCOLO: Which one?
TENSHINHAN: Which one is worse?
BABY TRUNKS: (Making baby noises) BULMA: Ya know, Vegeta might be⊠...*is* a total ass, but he's not *that* bad.
TENSHINHAN: Says the woman he left a single mother.
BULMA: Please, I'm rich; it's hardly the same.
PICCOLO: Really, him leaving was probably for the best.
BABY TRUNKS: Wohhh... BULMA: Wow! Really?!
PICCOLO: What? Would you really trust Vegeta with a baby?
BULMA: Well, not *my* baby...
TENSHINHAN: And there you go.
SeP CELL: (Mentally) '"Look at me, I'm Vegeta! I'm the Prince of all Saiyans! And I both wear, and *am*, a unitar--"'
VEGETA: You call THAT a Galick Gun? Dear God, get it together.
SeP CELL: I WILL END YOU!
VEGETA: You'll die trying.
SeP CELL: (Screaming)
KRILLIN: (Mentally) 'Eesh... somehow I actually feel kinda bad for *Cell*... Oh well, should probably start lookin' for the Androids. Aaand found 'em. Man, I am REALLY good at this⊠Okay, Krillin⊠Mission... (Gulp)... *Start*.'
VEGETA: I know I kicked him into the water somewhere⊠Damn it, he's pulling a bald one on me and hiding his energy⊠Urgh, if I were a disgusting bug-man, where would I--
SeP CELL: SURPRISE! Looky what I caught! A walking, talking Napoleon complex. Huurgh...!
VEGETA: And looky what I caught!
SeP CELL: Oh no, *not again*!
VEGETA: So, what do you do with this... *thing*?
SeP CELL: I drink people!
VEGETA: Were you trying to drink me?
SeP CELL: N-n... no! ...Yes. (Groans in pain) Raarhhg--!
VEGETA: You feel that? That's what honesty feels like.
SeP CELL: This... this is all wrong⊠You can't be this strong! Nothing about this makes sense!
VEGETA: Well if THAT'S wracking your brain, try drinking this in: It may pain me to say it, but the boy over there is actually almost as strong as I am. Then again, unlike you, he's HALF me.
SeP CELL: What?!
VEGETA: 'Course the other half is his mother⊠I mean, look at that hair!
TRUNKS: I--
VEGETA: YOU LOOK LIKE A FRUIT!
TRUNKS: Y-you--
VEGETA: And not like a homosexual, I mean like a literal, walking fruit! ...EGGPLANT!
SeP CELL: DAMN IIIIIIIT! I want to be perfect! I wanna! I wanna, I wanna, I wannaâ [muffled] I wanna-ha-ha-ha-ha-haaaa...
VEGETA: Excellent, I've broken both your body *and* your spirit. Time to die.
SeP CELL: If only you had showed up just a minute later⊠I would've had Eighteen⊠Then NOBODY could've stopped me!
VEGETA: ...Oh really?
TRUNKS: Nooo...
SeP CELL: Vegeta⊠I would've destroyed you without a second thought...
TRUNKS: ...Nooo!
VEGETA: ...Go on.
TRUNKS: NooooOOOO--!

GOKU: Right? I like training too.
GOHAN: Hm...
