Not a bad episode. So we are only really getting two more eps of this? I feel really sad on that. Maybe they can end it on a great high note like I always thought the Frieza arc was supposed to be the last one.

I thought part's of Kai's soundtrack was hit with plagiarism? If that is true, then that will explain its absence.

Felt a bit weird to hear the original OST (they only thought about changing it after 96 eps ?!)
The scene where Vegeta apologize to Gohan was really a surprise

kinda wish this had happened when gohan went ssj2...IMO not using "ummei no hi" was a disgrace...that song made the scene that much more epic.

incase you don't know, the music composer was fired because he ripped off someone's music.

I think the old OST is better, but it doesn't fit Kai's fast pacing, many BGMs were out of place
Anyways, very good episode

I understand why they did it, but wow that was jarring, especially this late in the game with the series supposedly coming to an end.

They could have made the remake show more epic for much more faster pace. Afterall still an awesome series of all time.

Well I have no attachments to either soundtrack and wouldn't have even noticed the difference myself without visiting this thread, so obviously I'm not complaining. Actually, I loved everything about this episode. I always liked how Cell was defeated and to see it all again at a slightly faster pace was great.

actually felt that switching the music to the old right at the end is kinda a cool way to pay homage to the original airing of the series. still wish ummei no hi made its epic appearance in the ssj2 scene, but i spose i could always cut that in if i had the initiative

i didnt like the new(?) OST's, it really crapped up the mood and sounded too happy, specially when we were in a tense situation.
i knw they were caught plagerising, but couldnt they do that for atleast 2-3 more and than get in trouble?

Bleh. The sudden change in soundtrack made me REALLY sad. I was never a fan of the original's score, and the way it was used in this one cemented it.

Well, I'm damn glad I've got 95/97 episodes using the new score, even if there are some plagiarized tracks in there. I was really looking forward to hearing "The Victor's Dance" used, too...

Well I like the original music and Kai's music, and this episode was good the same. The animations for the Kamehamehas were fantastic!

Pretty much. I watched the original DBZ in English with the Faulconer soundtrack so I didn't notice any change between the two. I am planning on rewatching DBZ with the original OST though.

Man that was bloody amazing, the level of emotion involved in the whole Cell games is unreal and its easily my favorite Saga of the franchise.

A huge sacrifice but in general an amazing ending of this arc! Really my most favourite arc of the whole franchise I must say not only because how intense it is and how much every character grows in this arc, but also because of the amazing voice acting performance of Wakamoto Norio!

Really looking forwards to see what the last episode of this "first part" of Dragonball Kai has to offer and really looking forwards to see the second part of this shortened version of Dragonball Z. Looking quite forwards to see what's next.

to hear vegeta apologising is probably the start of the best part of the episode xD

that was huge emotional, and great ending and fitting for the cell games (the perfect cell arc though ending next one), though i remember the impact was better in dbz, it still made great justice to the franchise and fitting development for gohan as a kid, because in the whole buu saga i really hate gohan.

Is it bad that I was just as sad when Cell died as when Goku died. Cell is my favorite villain in the franchise and he is the only one to not make a canon recurring appearance goddamn it XD.

This episode was epic. I loved seeing everyone give it all they had to take down Cell even when he became Super Perfect. Everyone other than gohan might have been out of their league, but it was the thought that counts! Colleen is such a fantastic VA and it's more than self evident here.
