Summary

On Beerus’s planet, Beerus warns that Cell has grown much stronger in the seven days Goku trained, and Whis hints that Goku may be surprised by how Cell looks; Goku decides he is ready, promising Beerus a rematch afterwards (ep 0025 00:01:31–00:04:26). Whis drops him on Earth, about four miles from Cell; Goku turns down his old gi — a gift from Master Roshi, whose killer is still on the planet — and keeps the destroyer’s outfit (ep 0025 00:04:46–00:06:39). In a ruined city, Dr. Gero — spared by Vegito — urges Cell to stop absorbing humans and find Goku (ep 0025 00:07:13–00:07:56). Goku arrives; Gero blames him for the Red Ribbon Army’s fall and says he lost his humanity waiting decades for revenge (ep 0025 00:08:25–00:10:03). Cell turns around as Perfect Cell: since 17 and 18 had been destroyed, Gero built two near-identical replacement androids for him to absorb, and he has absorbed everyone in the city (ep 0025 00:10:24–00:14:25). Mr. Satan bursts in to fight “the monster”, and Gero runs him through; his last word is for Videl (ep 0025 00:15:26–00:18:07). In fury Goku seizes Gero’s bloody hand and erases him with a Hakai (ep 0025 00:18:54–00:19:55). Grieving his “father”, Cell powers up beyond Super Saiyan 2 — Goku senses Vegeta’s, Piccolo’s and Gohan’s energy in him — and Goku answers with his own Super Saiyan 2 (ep 0025 00:19:57–00:22:46). They trade blows evenly until Cell knocks Goku into a building and mocks Gohan’s last moments (ep 0025 00:23:39–00:29:05). Goku bursts out in mastered Ultra Instinct — and Cell enters mastered Ultra Instinct too: “Now let the real Cell games begin” (ep 0025 00:29:29–00:31:16).

Uncertainties

  • Goku’s opening line to Whis (00:01:03) is missing from the transcript.
  • The two replacement androids aren’t named or shown being absorbed.
  • Goku senses Piccolo’s energy in Cell (00:22:03) though Cell erased Piccolo with a Hakai (ep 0020 00:32:28); Cell’s built-in Piccolo cells may explain it (ep 0027 00:23:35) (inferred). See retcons.
  • “Ultra Cell” is the narration’s name for this Cell from here on (00:23:44, 00:30:56).
