After the vicious battle against Freiza, our heroes prepare for the future
that Trunks warned them about. Three years remain before the coming of the
Androids that were said to wreck the future...
(*1)After years of anguish from a defeat that took place decades ago, Dr.
Gero continues to plot revenge against the character who destroyed Red Ribbon
and ruined him- Gokou. (*3)Dr. Gero begins a project, but the development was
taking too long, so he abandoned the project and left the computer running
the program...
Everyone is training to get ready for the Androids that Trunks warned them
about. Gohan, Goku, and Piccolo train in the mountains. Vegeta trains
himself under to 450 times the gravity of Earth in the gravity sector of
Capsule 3, keeping in mind that his main goal is to get stronger than Gokou.
Yamcha, Krillan, Tenshinhan, and Chauzu also undergo rigorous training to
prepare for the future.
Three years pass...
Android Saga...
Goku, Gohan, and Piccolo fly to the southern island 90 km away from where
Trunks appeared to regroup with the others. They encounter Klilyn on the way
and everyone lands to meet with Yamcha and Tenshinhan (Chauzu was left behind
because he wasn't strong enough to be of any use in fighing.) Bulma is also
there holding a baby, to whom is introduced as her child, Trunks. Bulma says
that she is there to see what the Androids look like. Everyone except Goku
and Piccolo becomes startled that the baby is Vegeta's kid. Yajirobe flies in on
a hovercraft to give the warrioris a bag of senzu beans from Karin.
Everyone looks at the city below the cliff in which they stand on but see no
signs of the Androids.
Yajirobe is leaving and his ship mysteriously explodes. The Z Warriors
separate to investigate while Gohan brings Yajirobe to safety. Two mysterious
figurs, Androids 19 and 20 jump around the city killing the people they pass
by. Yamcha unknowingly encounters the strange figures in his search for the
androids. Android 20 grabs Yamcha by the mouth, stealing energy in the myst,
and jabs a hand through him. The others sense Yamcha's troubling ki and
arrive to the scene. Klilyn takes Yamcha's body back to Bulma for senzu.
Gokou, Tenshinhan, Piccolo, and the Androids fly off to more deserted areas
for better fighting grounds.
The Androids request to stop at Stone Mountain. Piccolo sees it as the
androids' advantage for fighting because they can hide in the mountain mazes
if they lose the battle. Gokou and Android 19 battle first. Gokou has the
advantage, but doesn't do too well even in Super Saiyan level.
Yamcha is revived with a senzu. He tells Bulma that the androids have the ability
to absorb energy. Gohan, Klilyn, and Yamcha then go to warn their comrades
of this factor. Android 19 absorbs part of Gokou's energy via Gokou's
kamehameha before he is warned of the androids' ability. Gokou suddenly
suffers from his heart failure and collapses. Android 19 beats Gokou around
and then begins to absorb the remains of Gokou.
Vegeta leaps in to save Gokou, saying that it will be he who will be the one
to defeat Kakarot. To everyone's surprise, Vegeta powers up into Super Saiyan
mode too. He tells how during training, he relaized that the training methods
were not going to be good enough to defeat Gokou, so he got angry and turned
into a Super Saiyan. Yamcha goes and takes Gokou back to Master Roshi's place
to recover. Vegeta beats Android 19 and purposely lets him steal some of his
energy. Then, he kills the android off. Android 20 watches and realizes how
he miscalculated the power levels of the Z Warriors. Thinking that he will
lose to Vegeta, Android 20 runs away. Vegeta demands a senzu to restore his
energy and then pursuits after his target. Everyone joins in the hunt.
Trunks returns from the future and looks for the Z Warriors. Seeing the
decapitulated head of Android 19, he realizes that the Z Warriors were
fighting the wrong androids.
Android 20 sees that he's been surrounded and makes a move to absorb
Piccolo's energy. Gohan comes and saves him, and Piccolo is restored back to
full energy with a senzu. Android 20 is surrouned again and is about to be
killed. Trunks also arrives to the scene, telling that Androids 19 and 20 are
not the ones that will terrorize the future. Bulma flies in with baby Trunks
and Yajirobe. Dr. Gero shatters the ship with a fireball to create a
diversion for escape.
Trunks rescues his mother and his baby self. Bulma tells the identity of the
android she saw. Android 20 is really Dr. Gero, who created Android 19
which he used in turn to make himself into an android. Trunks tells that
Androids 19 and 20 are the wrong set of androids to fight. Androids 17 and 18
are the real targets, but are not yet awake. Gohan carries Bulma, baby
Trunks, and Yajirobe to fly back home. Everyone else flies off to destroy Dr.
Gero's lab before Androids 17 and 18 can be unleashed. Dr. Gero realizes this
plan and also races towards his lab.
Dr. Gero, knowing the hidden location of his lab, gets to it faster than the
Z Warriors. The Z Warriors catch up, but by the time they reach the lab
Androids 17 and 18 have already been released. Everyone watches the androids.
Androids 17 and 18 make a mess of their creator's laboratory and then Android
17 slices Dr. Gero's head off before crushing it. Androids 17 and 18 also
head to the pod of another android and release him, Android 16. Finally, they
head to face the Z Warriors. In a remote area, Androids 17 and 18 easily beat
Tenshinhan, Piccolo, Trunks, and Vegeta. Android 16 refuses to fight, saying
that he was created to destroy Gokou only. Klilyn, too scared to fight,
watches the horror. The androids head to Klilyn and tell him that the Z
Warriors are not dead yet. They confess that everything is a game, and that
they'll be glad to fight their enemies again once they get stronger.
Non-Perfect Cell Saga...
The Z Warriors suspect the Androids of coming to Gokou's house to kill him
and move Gokou to the Kame House. (*3)On the journey, Bulma contacts the crew
and tells our the discovery of an abandoned time machine much like Trunks',
but Trunks has his machine a capsule with him. He tells that Bulma only made
one capsule in the future, and Trunks and Gohan fly in to investigate.
Nearly, the shell of a creature hatched not too long ago is discovered. In a
closeby town, the mysterious creature is absorbing everyone.
Piccolo sees that the only way to defeat the Androids would be to power up
dramatically, and decides to fuse back with Kami. (*4)Kami, watcher of the
earth, watches an enemy unlike any other attack Gingertown. Victims are
completely consumed, and no one is spared. Kami tells Piccolo that the earch
does not need a god now, but a super powered being. (*5)The two fuse with
Piccolo as the base, and the two become one again.
Piccolo flies to the town with the strange evil being who is absorbing
everyone. (All the inhabitants of the town have vanished and only empty
clothing remain.) The being hatched from the time machine shows itself.
(*6)The two fight. Cell holds Piccolo captive and absorbs an arm. Piccolo
breaks free and demands to know more about his opponent before he loses his
life to it. Cell yields to what he believes to be Piccolo's final wish before
he absorbs him. It introduces itself as Cell, another one of Dr. Gero's
creations. When Trunks returned to the future and killed Androids 17 and 18
of that time, Cell killed Trunks and stole his time machine to return to the
past where the Androids were still alive. Cell reveals about how Dr. Gero
abandoned the project on him but left the computer on to develop him on its
own. In order to reach perfect form, he needed the beings of two figures
crucial to the powerup- Androids 17 and 18. As newly hatched, he needed
energy. That is why he has been absorbing people. Piccolo laughs and tells
that he won't let Cell reach perfect form. (*7)Then, he tears off his useless
limb and regenerates his arm. The two fight again, but Cell escapes the town
to enter other parts of the city, where he contiues to kill for energy.
Piccolo and his comrades hunt for Cell before it is too late...
The Androids are heading for Gokou's house via car and trashing any unlucky
cities they pass by.When they finally reach Gokou's house, they find it
abandoned and then slowly travel to Kame's House, thinking the whole process
of "hunt and kill Goku"a game.
(*2)Gokou recovers from his illness and, hearing everything while asleep,
prepares to join in fighitng. He teleports for Gohan and then to Vegeta and
Trunks' location, telling of a place where they can train for one year in one
day. Everyone goes to Sky Palace and enter the Room of Spirit and Time,
where time passes by slower. Only two people can train at a time in the room.
Vegeta and Trunks enter first.
After devouring many civilians, Cell grows strong enough to face the Androids
and head for them.
The Androids reached the Kame House. The Non-Saiyan Z Warriors are there and
Piccolo stalls. Piccolo and the Androids fly to a nearly island and battles
Android 17 while the remaining Androids watch. As the two fight, Cell reaches
them. Cell easily beats Piccolo and heads for Android 17. (*8)Android 17
knows nothing about Cell and attempts to bully him, but Cell also easily
beats the android.
Before Cell is able to absorb Android 17, Android 16 joins the fight.
(*9)Android 16 overwhelms Cell. Cell becomes buried in a pile of rubble, but
emerges atop Android 17 and absorbs him. Cell changes into form 2. Cell
becomes stronger than Android 16 and shatters him. Then, he heads for Android
18 and devours her, reaching Perfect Form.
Meanwhile...
The training in the Room of Spirit and Time is complete and the Saiyan
warriors emerge stronger than ever. The parts of Android 16 are gathered and
Bulma rebuilds him to fight as a Z Warrior. Everyone is ready to face Cell
again.
Cell Game...
A tournament is held to fight Cell in what is known as the "Cell Game". In
this "game", if Cell wins he will destroy the earth. Gokou and Cell battle to
a standstill. The battle gets intense, but Gokou suddenly surrenders and
tells Gohan to take his place. Gokou gives Cell a senzu bean to make it fair
for Cell and Gohan enters the ring. Everyone is shocked at what Gokou did.
Gohan tells that he understands why his father is making him fight. He tells
that whenever he gets angry, he powers up unbelievably. Cell boasts that he
wants to see this hidden strength of Gohan's and begins torturing him to make
him angry. Gokou calmly watches while Gohan is still not angry enough to
fight back. Gohan is getting beaten badly but Gokou tells his comrades to
just watch and wait. Android 16, a robot, has no "ki" so he can't be sensed.
The android silently walks to Cell and puts him into a lock-hold Android 16
tells everyone to clear out because he will ignite the doomsday device that
Dr. Gero placed in his creations as a backup plan. Klilyn shouts that it
won't work because Bulma removed the bomb when he rebuild the robot. Cell
laughs and shatters Android 16 again.
Cell grows tired of this and threatens to harm the spectators- Gokou, Vegeta,
Trunks, Klilyn, Tenshin-han, Yamcha, and Piccolo. Cell flies to Klilyn to
steals his bag of senzu beans and heads back to Gohan. He counts seven
spectators and, from his tail, spits out seven miniature blue duplicates of
himself. The Cell Juniors are born. Gohan watches desperately as the seven
little monsters fly towards his comrades. Gokou, too weak to fight after
fighting Cell, is unable to fend off the Juniors. The other Z Warriors get
beaten as well. Gohan only watches in distress, seeing that it's because of
him that Cell afflicted the attacks upon his comrades.
In the background, Sataan, his disciples, a reporter, and a camera-man have
been boardcasting the fight. Android 16's head was thrown in the direction of
Satan. The head begins to talk and request that it be brought close to Gohan,
telling that this is the only way that the world can be saved. After much
reluctance, Satan cowardly carries the head across the battlefield, throws it
in front of Gohan, and hides behind a rock again. Android 16's head
encourages Gohan to fight. Cell sees the touching scene and splatters the
head with a foot. The death of Android 16 triggers the hidden rage in Gohan
and Gohan powers up to Super Saiyan level 2, surpassing the limits of the
ordinary Super Saiyan level. Gohan steals the senzu back from Cell and then
single-handed kills all Cell Juniors.
Gohan heads for Cell and bullies him. Cell powers up to 100% and attacks, but
is still unable to defeat Gohan. With a kick in the body, Cell spits Android
18 back out and degrades back into form 2. Seeing no way to win in an even
weaker form, Cell activates his self-destruct sequence (the bomb in his body)
so that the planet will go with him. To save the Earth, Gokou teleports Cell
to Kaiou's planet. (*11)Cell explodes and Kaiou's tiny planet gets ruined.
Gokou, Kaiou, Bubbles, and Gregory die at the cost of saving the earth.
The Z Warriors stand stunned at what happened, not knowing whether to mourn
the loss of Gokou or cheer the victory that the earth has been saved. An
unexpected fireball flies out and pierces through Trunks. Trunks dies before
he hits the ground. Cell, in perfect form, appears smiling. The Z Warriors
must face Cell again, without Gokou.
Cell tells that when he exploded, the nucleus of one of his brain cells
survived. From the cell, mitosis was possible and he was able to regenerate
his entire body. Cell boasts that he was also able to rebuild himself in
perfect form, commenting that it may be the work of the Saiyan cells in
possesses. Saiyans grow stronger each time they reach the brink of death, and
likewise with these cells, Cell is now stronger. Vegeta becomes outraged and
shoots hundreds of fireballs at Cell. The smoke clears and reveals Cell
unscathed. Cell flies over and knocks Vegeta out. Then, he aims a fireball at
Vegeta's helpless body and shoots. Gohan intervenes the blast to save
Vegeta's life, taking the blast for him. Gohan gets back up with half his
body bloody.
Cell and Gohan blast Kamehameha blasts at each other and a fireball duel is
followed to see who can hold out longer. Cell's fireball begins to overwhelm
Gohan's, but Gohan simply tries to hold out without much effort of fighting
back. Through Kaiou, Gokou yells to encourage his son. The remaining Z
Warriors (Yamcha, Tenshin-han, Klilyn, and Piccolo) shoot fireballs at Cell
to try to help Gohan, but Cell's aura blows them away each time. Vegeta wakes
back up and flies above Cell, telling himself that it is impossible for low
class Saiyans (Gokou and Gohan) to be stronger than him, an elite warrior and
also Prince of all Saiyans. He charges up a fireball and blasts it at Cell.
In this distraction, Gokou tells Gohan that now's his chance. Gohan
strengthens his fireball and overwhelms Cell, disintegrating the monster in
the blast.
The Z Warriors cheer over this victory and head to Sky Palace. Vegeta
staggers away in disbelief that Gohan is stronger than he. (*11)Sataan and
the news reporters revive back to consciousness. Sataan, seeing the area
empty, takes advantage and takes credit for killing Cell, taking titles for
"The World Champion who saved the world from Cell" and "The Strongest Man in
the Universe".
As the world parades for Sataan, the Z Warriors are in Sky Palace. Dende
heals Gohan and Trunks. Android 18 awakens. The Z Warriors threaten to kill
her, but Klilyn tells them not to. Android 18 flees. The warriors yell at
Klilyn for his decision, but then tease that he has a crush on her. The
dragonballs have been gathered. (*12)Three wishes are permitted. A wish is
made to remove the bombs in the Androids. Another is made to revive all those
killed by Cell. However, Gokou is still dead. Through Kaiou, Gokou tells that
it is okay. The Z Warriors all reflect on Gokou's life.
Sataan emerges a hero. Gohan breaks the news about Gokou to his mother.
Seven years pass, and Gohan is 16...
