I have to admit even though this is the ONLY time Tien is actually useful in this entire series it still makes him pretty awesome.

Damn 17 got absorbed by Cell and he transformed! Tenshinhan did managed to make a nice blown to Cell but alas this wasn't as effective as I thought, this ain't good at all if cell now also consumes 18 things might really get out of hand!

At least they gave Tien his own moment. A lot of the characters from Dragonball kind of already had their own moment in the limelight so I guess that's why they're more in the background now.

Fuck yeah Tien. Gotta love him. Neo Tri Beam is such a cool move. Anyway, this episode brings an end to the Imperfect Cell Saga.

Loved this one, for a while I thought that they should use more of their techniques,– especially afterimage which is undeservedly forgotten most of the time, although Shin-Kikoho is a great technique, too,– instead of plain slugfests and ki blasts. It especially applies to the Earthlings who are not that powerful in the sense of battle power alone. Taiyo-ken that Kuririn uses in episode 146 is another good example of how they can compete with more powerful enemies with their techniques alone

As I watched preview, I just now realized it: Goku could instantaneously move to Cell, take Artificial Humans with him, and instantaneously move somewhere again. With Artificial Humans not dissipating any ki, Cell wouldn't be able to find them. Moving to another planet would be ideal (Yardrat for example, he knows some folks from there). Problem solved

It was great to see that Tien made a difference. He almost never gets to shine because of how powerful the enemies all the time.

16 was doing well, but his downfall was inevitable. The title made it clear... "Goodbye, Android 17" or whatever it was.

Kinda hate the titles being shown sometimes.

Tien finally gets to make a stand. He's been so flustered in the beginning so he rushed to the field just to be a sideliner again as fear hit him.

Glad he gets a "Hero Moment" of his own. Now get the heck away from there Android 16 & 18.

Oh noes, 17 is down! I didn't expect him to go so soon. Cell's new design looks and sounds pretty interesting and incredibly powerful compared to 16, who he was just equal with.

Tien's showing examples of why I like him so much. His techniques are awesome, and he's basically putting his life on the line to stop Cell's prefect form. However, it won't last and Tien might even die.

17 and 18 seem to never wanna leave for some reason. 16 has the right idea, but he just gets ignored half the time. It's what cost 17 his life, and what might cost 18 her life too if she doesn't fucking fly away right now.

Note to self: Try to avoid reading episode titles in Anime.

Cell upgraded with C17, looks like Batman now, lol. Still has this funny squeaky walking sound though ... xD

Tenshinhan is actually helpful here, I couldn't remember this part and was sure he would get inhaled by Cell. But it was painful to see how long C16+C18 wait before they finally leave.

Of course, Android 17 just had to get arrogant and let himself get absorbed so needlessly. He always had a penchant for not listening to Android 16's remarks. He may have been a cool character of mine, but he sort of had that coming for him. And Cell's second transformation, his semi-perfect state, is even uglier than before. No, he looks downright ridiculous. What's with that face? I can't take him seriously at all. At least, in his imperfect form, he emitted a sense of dread in a fitting disgusting manner. Still, now that he managed to evolve, poor Android 16 is no match for him now.

Look at Tien go! He is putting on some work. He may not be killing him, but his efforts are certainly buying the Androids some time to escape, an essential act that Android 18 is failing to do so. But seriously, Tien is truly brave.

Oh no! 17 and 18 are fools. What were they thinking? Because of their foolishness Cell got stronger. And 18 is still there inviting Cell to eat her! 16 is way to smarter than those two. Thanks to Tien they at least have time to run away if they do it or at least 18. Tien should have done this before. However at least he is keeping that hideous monster busy. However that abomination at least doesn't looks that bad.

It still amaze me how good the animation is in this series. The fight between Cell and Android 16 was damn good
