[NARRATOR] Last time on Dragon Ball Z,

Gohan felt sure he had failed,

and that the Earth would soon be lost.

But then came a voice.

[GOKU] You've got to be joking!

Giving up already?

Well, that's nothing like the Gohan I know!

Dad, where are you?

[NARRATOR] Teleporting Cell to King Kai's planet

before the monster self-destructed,

Goku managed to save the Earth from certain doom...

...at the cost of his own life.

Trust yourself, Gohan. It may feel like Cell weakened you,

but what's really draining all your strength is your own doubt.

Okay! It's all starting to become clear now, Dad.

I only have one arm, but that's all I need!

[NARRATOR] Revitalized by his father's vote of confidence,

Gohan buckled down for one last run,

powering up to fire Goku's own choice technique,

the deadly Kamehameha Wave!

Kaa...

Meeh...

[NARRATOR] The two explosive fighters

have taken their stances,

with power levels shooting far beyond

anything the Earth has ever seen.

It's the final shoot-out between giants

and one thing is for sure,

only one will survive the day!

--[GOKU] Meeh... --[GOHAN] Meeh...

Now you die!

That's way too big! Let's go!

Gohan.

[CELL cackles]

[KRILLIN screams]

They're gonna change the shape of the whole planet!

Cell!

Oh! There's no use trying to get away from him!

[MR. SATAN] It's a trick! It's all a trick, I swear!

Someday I'll bring it all to light! I will!

I can't believe that you're still saying that!

[screaming]

Cell's decided to kill us all now!

There's no hope for us I tell ya'!

[DENDE] Cell is stronger than ever before!

I hate to believe it, but not even Gohan can fight him now!

I wasn't a good guardian! I couldn't protect the Earth!

[CHICHI] Gohan!

[GOKU] Gohan! Hang in there!

This must be hard for you with all those wounds.

I'm sure this makes them burn!

Gohan's losing it. He's being overtaken.

And now this is where you end!

I must admit, your kid is one doozy of a fighter!

[GOKU] What's the matter, Gohan?

You already have all the power you need!

Just bring it out!

I can't! I can't keep this up!

I just can't hack it, Dad!

It's too much for me to handle, I'm just a kid!

I haven't changed! Not at all!

[GOKU] Will you stop attacking yourself?!

I don't know where you got it in your head that

there's something wrong with you, 'cause there's not!

You've saved my life and our friends' lives so many times

And you're going to do it again! Right now!

What on Earth are you mumbling about?

Chanting a little prayer before you die?

[GOKU] Let it out, Gohan! Do it now!

[TIEN] It's huge!

[YAMCHA] They just won't give it up!

One will!

You fool!

Don't you realize yet you're up against the perfect weapon!

No way!

Too strong!

[GOKU] Now what?! I've already told him to give all he's got!

Wait! What if he's still--

[GOKU] Gohan!

If anywhere in your mind you're holding back

because you're worried about the planet, forget about it!

[GOKU] All the damage you do to the Earth

can be fixed with the Dragon Balls!

So don't hold anything back! Got it?

Yeah, but I...

Yes! I can feel you slipping!

Gohan.

I'm coming, Gohan!

No wait!

[KRILLIN] Piccolo!

He's really gonna go through with it!

Masenko-ha!

Piccolo...

Piccolo!

Go...

Go-Gohan...

[VEGETA] That's right! Good, Piccolo!

Where did Piccolo's brain go?

To think he could save Gohan all by himself!

[TIEN] He didn't think he could, but he tried to anyway!

[YAMCHA] Oh, I get it!

Tien! Don't tell me you're gonna go and pull a Piccolo on me!

Sorry, Krillin, but it's just not my style

to wait for death without putting up a decent fight!

Because you're a man of honor,

and a little pigheaded!

Maybe so, but I've always liked the sound,

of that honor excuse more.

Hey, Krillin, I'll leave Trunks with you.

Now you're going?!

Let's roll!

[KRILLIN] I guess playing it safe is one thing

we'll never learn!

[KRILLIN] I hope you and Trunks will be fine

on your own for now!

You know, 18, it really was nice seeing you again!

Even if it was for just a moment!

Foolish, really! I mean it's not like they'll make a difference!

[GOKU] Dig deeper, Gohan! It's still not enough!

These are your last minutes, boy!

So try to make them count!

[PICCOLO] Special Beam Cannon!

Tri-beam!

Haaa!

Please, guys! Not too close! Be careful!

[GOKU] Gohan! They can take care of themselves!

Focus on your energy, Son!

I'm trying!

Would you stop interfering?!

Could this actually work?

You're all so anxious to die, aren't you?!

Well all you had to do was ask!

[GOHAN] He hurt them...

He hurt them!

[GOHAN yells]

No, Gohan, I won't let you die all alone out there.

'Cause, kid, you were the first person to ever show me what

it means to have a friend.

Don't know why I'm getting up again...

It'd be much easier to keel over!

I know back in the day, I never would've done this!

Guess I only have Goku and Gohan to blame!

Those two guys really changed me for keeps.

And you know, someday, I'll get them for that.

[TIEN] Surpassing Goku has been my goal

ever since I became a Martial Artist.

Without him, there's no way I would've come this far!

And how did I repay him? I stood there and watched him die!

I will not make the same mistake with his son!

[YAMCHA] Goku, I hope you know how great a kid you've got!

Like father, like son, right? Well, I won't let you down!

[VEGETA] It's not fear that's holding me back!

It's... it's just...

[CELL] Why can't you people just stay down?

Gohan! Raise it higher! You can win this one!

They just keep lining up to die!

[VEGETA yells]

No chance! You have no chance!

Oh, no! The Earth is gonna blow!

Gohan!

We tried!

We're all sorry, Goku!

We all did our very best to be heroes like you but--

Just not enough!

[DENDE] Gohan!

You can't take my Gohan away from me!

He's my baby and no one can take him away!

Right! You can't take him 'cause he's Goku's son!

He can't be beaten!

[GOKU] Release it, Gohan! Release everything!

Remember all the pain he's caused!

The people's he's hurt! Now make that your power!

Say goodbye!

Vegeta!

Now's your chance!

[GOHAN yells]

[CELL screams]

[CELL] I'm perfect!

[CELL screams]

[GOHAN panting]

He... did it!

Cell's energy has completely vanished!

But, you mean we're really safe again?

Yeah, bud, it looks like it!

Oh man. It's been a few years

since the last time I heard someone say that.

[CHICHI] He did it! He did it! My Gohan did it!

[KING KAI] Well, Goku, your war is finally over.

[GOKU] Yeah...

[GOKU] Gohan, I'm so proud of you.

[GOHAN chuckles]

[NARRATOR] At last, the terror known as Cell

has been silenced forever.

The battle is won, and the world is safe once more.

Thank you, Goku, for all that you gave.

The Earth will miss you.
