Well you could make the argument he didn't want to draw attention to himself before he was ready, as he couldn't handle Cell yet and he might have knowledge of the lookout.

Having him search for 17,18 keeps him busy.

I don't know how they keep getting better and better. The only way they could disappoint me at this point I think is if they just don't do the Buu saga.


This right here.

They don't need to do the whole Buu Saga for me. Just do the Gohan Highschool and Videl stuff and that's all I would need to be sated.

Cell's semi-perfect voice seemed a bit...inconsistent (maybe the point?). One minute he had a distinct warble to it, the next he sounded pretty much like what I expect Perfect Cell to sound like.

He would. I do like Goku even admitted it his fault Kid Buu happened because he held back on Fat Buu because he wanted Gohan and the others to defeat him instead.

For what it's worth as far as Goku just ITing the Androids away from Cell, I can see how that logically wouldn't work. Until Cell attacks them, the Androids are mostly just interested in killing Goku, are all probably powerful enough to do so individually, let alone if they teamed up on him, and have no real reason to sit down and listen to Goku. Then Cell, the strongest guy not currently hypertonically taming lions, shows up and the Androids don't fully appreciate how dangerous he is until it's too late. Then the surviving Androids go into hiding, and Goku can't find them because he can't sense them. Then Vegeta shows up and can beat the poo poo out of Cell and Krillen shows up and can blow 18 the gently caress up and Goku really has no reason to use IT to save 18 because at that point only an astonishingly bad sequence of decisions from the Z fighters can save Cell.

Of course, cue Vegeta.

Also, by the time Vegeta gets there, Goku's also hypertonically taming lions, so IT is off the table.

Yeah but... when Piccolo gets blasted through the chest, Goku could've intervened then, no? He sorta didn't bother until Tien was biting it as well. I guess the only difference is he thought Piccolo was dead, but for Tien he knew he was just expending his energy really fast. Still better than observing considering how safe he seemed finally stepping in.

To be honest we don't really know how strong Goku was in comparison to the Androids. During his battle with 19 his Power Level was plummeting due to the heart virus. I think it was implied he and Vegeta were pretty close, but there's no real evidence either way.

He can IT to Piccolo because he can sense him, but he can't IT to the Androids because he can't sense them, so even if they were amenable to sitting quietly atop the lookout and calling a truce with Goku and pals, he probably wouldn't be able to warp them out before Cell beats him up.

I'm 90% sure he meant metaphorically, because he holds the fate of Android 18 in his hands and that's pretty drat heavy.

I guess I don't know enough about IT to comment. I thought he could just use it visually i.e. he sees an android after IT'ing to Piccolo and then IT's to the Android. But maybe the ki sensing component is required.

To be fair he probably would've gotten in Piccolo's way earlier. And maybe he couldn't IT to Piccolo right after because he couldn't sense his energy anymore, which would add to the whole 'can't IT without an energy target' thing. He knew Tien would get his rear end kicked so he stepped in then... and I guess by then Piccolo came out of the water and started being sense-able too?

Actually gently caress it, 17 and 18 are cyborgs. Goku should be able to sense them! :aaaaa:

By the way, they should play the Krillin thing straight. Not everything needs to be a joke. It could turn out that Krillin's terrible decision is funnier anyway based on the reactions.

As for Cell's voice, I like it. I'm glad that didn't make him sound stupid... yet. He's still intimidating right now. Maybe he'll regress to a dumber voice when he starts getting his rear end kicked.

I think it's stated that Goku needs to sense a person's ki to be able to teleport over there.

Except what you say about 17 and 18 being cyborgs holds true, now that I think about it. The Z Fighters ought to be able to sense them!

Also kinda helps he did this voice in one of those cons when they asked how he would voice all three forms of Cell.

His 2nd form of Cell isn't far off from the original video he gave a tease of.

49: Vegeta and Trunks confront Cell, Krillen meets up with 18 and tries to save her instead of making her blow up.

50: Cell getting the poo poo kicked out him makes an alliance with Vegeta, with Trunks losing his poo poo, more Krillen and 18 hijinks...

yeah that sounds about right.
