Tagline[]
"This time on Dragon ball Z Abridged. Cell has achieved his Perfect form, and Vegeta finally gets the challenge he deserves! Will Goku and Gohan make it out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber in time to fix everything?"
Summary[]
In the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Goku and Gohan, both in Super Saiyan mode, are sparring with each other. Goku says he's glad he has Gohan as a good sparring partner, since he doesn't know Trunks very well and is starting to think Vegeta doesn't like him. The two power down, and prepare to eat lunch, only to see that they caused a bit of damage to the living space. Gohan tries to laugh it off, but Goku freaks out that he just broke Mr. Popo's sixth rule, which is to never break Popo's things.
Back on Earth, Trunks is still powering up and screaming, causing Cell to remark he has some strong lungs. Krillin shows concern over Trunks but gets zapped when he tries touching him. Piccolo senses everything and tells Bulma that Vegeta's okay, and that Trunks is fighting Cell, causing her to think that he meant Present Trunks. Trunks finishes powering up and gives Krillin a Senzu Bean with the instructions to take Vegeta away from the battlefield and heal him. Trunks is confident about finishing this fight as Krillin and Vegeta leave. Cell goads Trunks into powering up even further with the knowledge that he let Future Gohan die at the androidsâ hands, causing Trunks to power up even more in outrage. Tien and Piccolo feel the energy, causing Tien to get infuriated that had Trunks used it before, he could've killed Cell, Android 18, or Vegeta, the latter being because he deserved something for the day he'd endured.
As Trunks powers up, Cell tells him how he came to the past. Since multiverse theory is a bitch, Cell explains that in another timeline, Trunks was able to defeat the androids. However, when he was going to go back to the past and celebrate, Cell appeared and killed him. He then shrunk to his larva state and used the time machine to travel a year before Trunks showed up the first time, and burrowed underground. This means that Trunks is responsible for Cell being here, though this resolves Trunks to fix another mistake. After powering up to his Third Grade Super Saiyan, Trunks wails on Cell. Cell is impressed by this turn of events, and continues to fight, with Android 16 cheering for Trunks. Trunks manages to push Cell against a wall, but Cell states that Trunks confidence is like his father's, and that he'll never defeat him with that form.
Back in the time chamber, Goku is in the same form as Trunks, but explains to Gohan that while its strength is unmatched, the energy causes the body to mass up. And without any compensation, that means a 50% increase in strength, but a 75% decrease in speed and maneuverability. In short, he can't hit anyone in this form (Which surprises Gohan because it was the first smart thing Goku has ever said). Cell confirms this, dodging Trunk's attacks, and revealing he let Trunks win thus far out of pity. Trunks is frustrated that this is happening, but Cell explains that Trunks is still a novice whose been with fighters that had more experience in a week than what he has had in his entire life. Cell even mentions that when Goku was around Trunks age, he already defeated an entire army, several demons, and even sent a rabbit to the moon. Even worse, Trunks' form isn't new, as Cell shows off himself, complete with a terrible, but accurate impression of the hybrid, and adds that Vegeta could do it too, leaving Trunks with a huge kick in the balls, metaphorically speaking. A mentally defeated Trunks powers down and tells Cell to finish him off. However, he states that Goku can still defeat him, and save the world without anyone knowing who he was, and that he'd be forgotten. This sparks Cell's interest and decides not to kill Trunks. Instead, he decides to prepare his televised revolution, and leaves a shocked Trunks and a damaged Android 16 behind, that latter of which asks for the channel.
Meanwhile, Krillin gives an unconscious Vegeta a Senzu Bean that wakes him up. Vegeta at first boast that he was still alive because Cell must have been too afraid of him, trying to keep his pride intact, before Krillin reminds him that none of the other Z-Fighters are there and that it is just them two, causing Vegeta to break down that even with his training and new level, he still couldn't defeat Cell, causing Krillin to sympathies with him over his limits. Krillin jokes that his neck was still stiff from when Cell kicked him, bringing a smile to Vegeta as the two shared a laugh, further joking that if he had a dime for every time he got his ass kicked he wouldn't be in crippling debt. But like the idiot he is, Krillin blows it when he says, and I quote, "But-But if I'd gotten a beatdown like that, man, I would've hung up my gloves, my blue spandex, and my ridiculously pointy hair," causing Vegeta to punch him in the face.

Episode Transcription (English)[]
[Techno music; sounds of ki attacks]
GOKU: Boy, I'm glad you're a Super Saiyan now; I've needed a good training partner! I don't know Trunks very well, and Vegeta's always so busy... and angry. I'm not gonna lie; sometimes, I think he doesn't like me. I mean, who wouldn't like *me*?
GOHAN: Maybe you're just too good.
GOKU: Na-haw, I'm just Goku! And speaking of Goku, IT'S LUNCH TI--!
GOHAN: Well, guess we don't know what time it is anymore, huh? (Chuckling)
GOHAN: (Chuckling)
GOKU [to himself]: Don't break Popo's stuff
GOHAN: (Calming down)
GOKU [to himself]: Don't break Popo's stuff don't break Popo's stuff
GOHAN: Uh... Dad?
GOKU [to himself]: Don't break Popo's stuff don't break Popo's stuff don't break Popo's stuff
GOHAN: âŠ
GOKU [to himself]: Don't break Popo's stuff don't break Popo's stuff don't break Popo's stuff don't break Popo's stuff
GOHAN: What're you muttering?
GOKU [to himself]: Don't break Popo's stuff don't break Popo's stuff don't break Popo's stuff don't break Popo's stuff don't break Popo's stuff
GOKU [Shouting]: SIXTH RULE OF POPO'S TRAINING!
[â« "Cha-La Head-Cha-La" â«]
TRUNKS: Aaaaaaaaahhhh!!!!
PERFECT CELL: Good Lord, the lungs on that boy! [Trunks continues to yell during his power-up]
KRILLIN: You OK, Trunks? You, uh, doin' good on airâ {ZAP} dehyeyeyagh!
PICCOLO: And *there's* the twist.
BULMA: Not to be a broken record, but...
PICCOLO: Right, so uh, no worries, your uh⊠...huh, I was gonna say husband, but⊠...well, I was gonna say boyfriend, but--
TENSHINHAN: Your baby-daddy is still breathing.
PICCOLO: Yeah, barely.
BULMA: Well, that's a relief.
PICCOLO: On the other hand, Trunks is about to fight Cell.
BULMA: What?! But he's just a baby! Oh-hoh, right... the future one⊠But he's just a baby!
KRILLIN: OK, ya done?
TRUNKS: Yeah, yeah, I'm, I'm so sorry about that!
KRILLIN: Hey man, it's fine.
TRUNKS: My power was rising, I couldn't control it.
KRILLIN: No, it's good, go kill him!
TRUNKS: Definitely didn't do that because you spared the Android or anything...
KRILLIN: Well, obviously. ...Right?
PER. CELL: You know, if I had a watch, I'd be looking at my wrist reeaaally condescendingly right now...
TRUNKS: Krillin, take this. Give it to my father.
KRILLIN: You... sure you won't need it?
TRUNKS: No. This battle was over before it began.
KRILLIN: BAD-ASS!
PER. CELL: Also accurate!
ANDROID 16: Trunks! Senzu beans heal physical damage! Only therapy will aid emotional trauma.
PER. CELL: Oh, please. There's not a shrink qualified enough to deal with that hot mess. And, speaking of shrink...
KRILLIN: Here it comes...
PER. CELL: Krillin, go kiss the Prince's booboos. The big boys need to talk.
KRILLIN: Fine, whatever. Leave ya to it. [To Vegeta] Say goodbye, Vegeta!
VEGETA: (Gurgling)
TRUNKS: I'm going to make you pay in blood for what you did to him!
PER. CELL: Oh don't lie, boy scout; that *must* have been catharsis by proxy. (Chuckle) He's gonna be waking up for the next five years in a cold *sweat* remembering today!
TRUNKS: I'm not a psychopath like--
PER. CELL: Kind of like you!
TRUNKS: Like me??
PER. CELL: Does Gohan know, by the way?
TRUNKS: Does he know what?
PER. CELL: That you let him die.
TRUNKS: I'm going to power up now.
PER. CELL: I'd be disappointed if you didn't!
TRUNKS: (Yelling)
TENSHINHAN: That's Trunks?!
PICCOLO: Yeah, pretty astonishing, isn't it?
TENSHINHAN: It's in*furiating*!
PICCOLO: Why? Because the gap keeps widening?
TENSHINHAN: Because he could've: A) Killed Android 18 B) Killed Cell Or C) Killed Vegeta!
PICCOLO: Why Vegeta?
TENSHINHAN: Because I deserve SOMETHING today!
[Trunks' screaming continues]
PER. CELL: That's right, keep it coming, boy! I want a *real* fight this time!
TRUNKS: Don't you worry! I'll show you just how much stronger I am than my father!
PER. CELL: Your fathe--? Oh, no, I'm sorry, I wasn't being specific. I'm referring to the *last* time we met. Of course you wouldn't remember, because you weren't there. (Chuckle) I mean, you were, buuuuttt~...
TRUNKS: GET TO THE POINT!
PER. CELL: Alright kiddo, tell me: What do you know about time travel?
TRUNKS: Less than I should...
PER. CELL: Well, how do you suppose I got here?
TRUNKS: Well, my Time Machine, obviously.
PER. CELL: Ya-huh; and how do you think I *got* said Time Machine?
TRUNKS: ...I don't wanna answer that...
PER. CELL: Here's the thing: Multiverse theory's a *bitch*. Fact is, you - or at least, another you - traveled to the past, saved the world, came back to your future, and finally defeated the Androids. Congratulations, son. You *won*!
TRUNKS: But wait, then when did you--
PER. CELL: So you decided to *celebrate*! Head back to the past, get your hair ruffled, and finally get that *thumbs up* from daddy dearest! But you made one. Fatal. Mistake. You took away what was *mine*!
[Flashback Trunks screaming]
PER. CELL: Unfortunately, I couldn't fit in your Time Machine, so I had to revert to my larval stage, made the trip to a year before *you* showed up, burrowed underground for four years, and w-well... the rest is history.
TRUNKS: Then... you're here...!
PER. CELL: Because of *you*! But please don't beat yourself up. (Chuckle) You're just a child, playing hero... complete with spandex.
TRUNKS: And you are just another mistake that I have to correct.
[Powering up]
[Cell chuckles (again)]
[Trunks continues to yell (again)]
PER. CELL: I'm impressed! Behind all that angst and ridiculous hair, there's a real fighter!
TRUNKS: And behind all that insufferable smarm is a *dead man*!
PER. CELL: Trunks... you couldn't fathom the amount of dead men behind me!
16: Go, unreasonably buff bird!
TRUNKS: Now that might not have done a lot of damage⊠but *damn* did it feel good!
PER. CELL: Oh-ho-ho~? Am I sensing an iota of pride? Guess the apple doesn't fall far if ya *shake* the tree hard enough!
TRUNKS: That snark isn't going to save you while I'm taking you apart. If you haven't noticed, I've LITERALLY got you against the wall.
PER. CELL: And don't think I don't appreciate the effort. By a wide margin, you're packing more of a wallop than daddy ever did! However... you will never... *ever*... defeat me with that form.
GOHAN [off-screen]: But why? It's so *strong*!
GOKU: Oh yeah! In raw power, it can't be beat. But the amount of concentrated energy causes an extreme expansion in mass. The body can't compensate. And while you'll see a fifty percent power increase, you'll see a seventy-five percent *de*crease in speed AND mobility. You'd never hit your opponent.
GOHAN: Did-did you...? What just...?
GOKU: Whoop, sorry! Was thinkin' about fightin'.
GOHAN: I'm not sure what just happened.
GOKU: Silly Gohan! In a lame-man's terms:
PER. CELL: You. Can't. Hit me.
TRUNKS: Then what do you call the last five minutes?!
PER. CELL: PityâŠ
TRUNKS: Hrrrgh!
16: Trunks! Do not worry! He is just playing you.
[Perfect Cell hums to himself under Trunks' ineffectual onslaught]
16: Correction: He's *been* playing you.
TRUNKS: Why?! T-*how*?!
PER. CELL: Because you're green.
TRUNKS: ...Wait, you mean...
PER. CELL: No, not like me you idiot; as in, you're a novice, an amateur! You're surrounded by fighters who have seen more action in a week than you've seen in your ENTIRE LIFE. Hell, at your age, Goku had defeated an entire army, several demons, and sent a rabbit to the moon!
TRUNKS: Did... did you make that last one u--?
PER. CELL: And the worst part of it is, that form isn't even new. Watch. "Look at me, I'm Trunks! Please love me Daaaad~!" See? Anyone can do it.
TRUNKS: ...That's a terrible impression.
16 [o-s]: But not inaccurate!
TRUNKS: Why are you still here?!
PER. CELL: For God's sake, I bet even your *father* can do it; he's just not stupid enough to try! And as we've seen today, that threshold is vast⊠Now, how about you come on down, stop using that useless form⊠...and quit wasting everyone's time? Jeez, I can't tell which is more shattered; your father's body or your spirit...
TRUNKS: Just get it over with and kill me already...
PER. CELL: Whoa, and spirit it is! Seriously bucko, way to bring down the mood.
TRUNKS: Is this all just a game to you?!
PER. CELL: A game? Hardly. If this were a game, I'd be having fun... or killing Goku. Now *that* sounds like a good time.
16: That still doesn't make us friends!
PER. CELL: I'M TRYING, SIXTEEN!
TRUNKS: Fine! Go ahead. Fight Goku. But when he wins, and when YOU DIE⊠NOBODY... is going to remember you.
PER. CELL: Huh⊠Alright; change of plans. Turn that frown upside-down, boy scout! You're not dying today.
TRUNKS: What in the...? WHY?
PER. CELL: Careful, junior; don't want that gift horse to *bite you*! You've just given me an idea is all. What *would* I accomplish killing you here? No... the whole world needs to see what it's created.
TRUNKS: Oh, what the *hell* are you planning now?!
PER. CELL: *My revolution*... Go take care of your daddy. And make sure to check the news!
16 [o-s]: ...WHAT CHANNEL?!
[â« Closing theme (DBZ intermission) â«]
KRILLIN: Well, time to see how well Senzu beans do with a broken spine!
VEGETA: (Groans) {GULP}
VEGETA: (Gasp) Where am I?! What happened?!
KRILLIN: You *may* have blacked out a little bit...
VEGETA: But I'm still alive! H-he must have realized his mistake and run away⊠(Slight chuckle)
KRILLIN: Dude, c'mon, it's just me.
VEGETA: I... I don't get it... I trained so hard... I reached a new level...! And yet...!
KRILLIN: *Trust* me man, I get you. I mean, my neck's still stiff from earlier.
VEGETA: (Sniff)... Heh.
KRILLIN: I mean, if I had a dime for every time I had my ass kicked, I might not be in crippling debt! (Laughing)
VEGETA: (Laughing)
KRILLIN: But, but if I had gotten a beat down like that, *man*,
VEGETA: (Still laughing)
KRILLIN: I would've hung up my gloves,
VEGETA: (Calms down)
KRILLIN: my blue spandex,
VEGETA: Hnnn!
KRILLIN: and my ridiculously pointy hair! Hahaha, ah-ha, ahâ heeeyy you're not laughing anymore...!
{THUMP} [Krillin's usual noises]
KRILLIN: Could I get a dime for that?
TRUNKS: Um... hey... um, if you liked the video, please like and subscribe⊠And uh... uh... check out... the gaming channel? Uh, they're... playing Doom! Um⊠Oh! And, uh, the Tenkaichi Ironman Budokai Abridgathon. Where you can be the best abridger ever! Uh, maybe... I guess...? Sorry... I guess it's just a little weird that I'm not... *dead*... Oh, uh, they also have a patreon... and... shirts over on sharkrobot.com... huh⊠Well, uh... if you don't mind me, I'm gonna go uh... I'm gonna go have a sit.
