I doubt Cell will really abide by that rule.

Another terrible Dragon Ball recap. Sigh, how disappointing. Goku LOST to Tien, it wasn't a draw. Not only that but Goku didn't marry Chi-Chi until the last episode of Dragon Ball. Anyway, this episode is the beginning of the Cell Games saga.

That's what subtitles say

Well yeah, Goku rather only publicly proposed to Chichi

However, the fighting ring was lost, and the Tenkaichi Tournament has not been held since then. And that was... let's see, how many years ago now?

A little bit more than 9 years, if I'm not mistaken

Cell for Landscape Artist :P I guess he's fond of the 'open arena' kind. Don't have any boundaries. (Like a wrestling ring typically)

Master Roshi's telling's of the Martial Arts Tournament was quite interesting... if that's why the Tourney was killed though... in like 10+ years, shouldn't they have gotten the funding to rebuild? :o

I think they didn't bother rebuilding because the power level of the competitors had gotten so high. Probably would have been an insurance nightmare since the crowd was endangered so often the last couple of times!

That's not what the Z Fighters thought ;). But personally I loved the old tournaments in the original DB.

I also love how casual/family like they are at Capsule Corp ion this episode. Chi Chi again in angry/annoying mode, and do they really believe the old rules are intact still with Cell? Seems a bit naive to me :D

What makes the Z Fighters think that Cell will abide by the rules of the tournament? His villainous nature and merciless intentions and desires to humiliate the Z Fighters and prove himself to be the most powerful creature in the universe would make anyone think that rules won't apply to Cell. For expert fighters, they sure get a bit naive in their way of thinking sometimes.

Chi-Chi's logic escapes me. What's the use of Gohan's training if it is not utilized? While I do understand her concern for her only son's wellbeing, I doubt Gohan will have any of her assertive nature.

Cell got his Vegeta cells rising inside him. A thirst for battle is just Vegetas character. Hope he understands what tournaments mean. But what if there he doesn't puts the rule that stops killing opponents?

However good thing they got more time to get trained. Don't know but seemed like Vegeta cared for Trunks. I think Trunks needs some training from his mother that how to talk with a Vegeta. She is good at it.

Oh, by the way, Goku was more adorable in the flashbacks. Even more than Gohan now. Though they look same.

Of course. Since Piccolo and Tien were hanging around that room, I figured they would go there eventually.
Vegeta and Trunks want to go back too
No.16 will join us too!!!! Hell yeah

Who sent the invitation to Capsule Corporation again?
Wow. We've got almost our entire cast gathered here.

Lmao when Yamcha says he will do something, I laugh now
Vegeta still being a bish
Damn everyone went away, not listening to Roshi

Lmao, Cell Games would have him with rules
Wow. We get to see baby Gohan!
Roshi is a delinquent too!

Cell Construction has begun.

Btw, does anyone remember this show is called "DRAGON BALL" Z T_T
