**Cell Games Saga** Ep. 166 - 194 Well here we are, what many consider to be the highest peak of the DBZ series. It starts off slow with the focus being the heroes' training in preparation for their battle with Cell. After that however it's nonstop action with a Goku vs Cell fight and ending with Gohan's classic battle against Cell. Finally after being hinted throughout the entire series Gohan's incredible hidden power is released and he is raised to a whole new level making everyone else look like they're insignificant specks of dust, his power and brutality just constantly rises as his fight with Cell goes on and you just can't wait to see what he'll do next. I especially liked how he stomped through all of the Cell Jrs and ended up making Cell have a baby tantrum. Oh and unlike Goku's fight with Frieza, Gohan and Cell's bout thankfully does not feel like it's dragging on for a week. I can definitely see why so many love this chapter of DBZ, but it's just such a shame though that Gohan just seems to go downhill from here. While they don't really get to do anything, all of the side characters trying so hard to help Gohan at the end was very heartwarming in my opinion and I'm also very glad that we actually get a very nice closure episode for Trunks. There's not much I can say about Cell here that I didn't already say in the season 5 comments but he's definitely a lot more despicable than he was before. Every moment he toys with Gohan or Vegeta really makes you hate him even more and gets you rooting more and more for Gohan, like you just can't wait to see Cell die, his defeat is probably the most satisfying defeat I have seen so far in the Dragon Ball franchise. My only gripes are: That this is officially the saga that forever marks every non-Saiyan character as completely useless in my opinion. Just about every character fell under the butt-monkey trope just to emphasize how worthless they are compared to Cell and Gohan. Which I just find to be such a shame since I definitely came to really like certain characters such as Krillin, Tien and Piccolo, especially after seeing their great moments in the original Dragon Ball. The fact that the big "passing on the torch" theme the ending of this saga had eventually ends up being shot in the foot irritates me quite a bit. If I'm being 100% honest I found Gohan's cockiness and how he starts toying with Cell to be a bit out of character, that seemed more like a Vegeta thing. [**# of Fillers:** 3 Eps.] Unsurprisingly these fillers are just boring. The only thing that was somewhat memorable was the return of General Tao but nothing great really came out of it. The fillers in this series just aren't anything special at all in my opinion.
