Best DBZ Fights #1

Goku & Gohan vs. Cell

Manga: Chapters 203 - 222, Volumes 18 - 19 Anime: Episodes 177 - 191 (Kai: 88 - 96)

Maybe I'm cheating by including pretty much the entirety of the Cell Games here, but the phases all flow into one another and connect together seamlessly. We have Goku fighting Cell with both of them nearly perfectly matched but Cell proving far more durable, then Goku unexpectedly tagging Gohan in to fight in his place with the prior battle being revealed to have been for Gohan's benefit so that he could observe how Cell fought, then the reversal where Cell gets the upper hand and unleashes Cell Jr.s to pummel all of Gohan's friends which leads to Android 16's heart-wrenching sacrifice, then Gohan destroying all of the Cell Jrs. and utterly curb-stomping Cell, then Cell becoming Semi-Perfect once more only to attempt a kamikaze attack that would take Earth with him leading to Goku sacrificing his life for a second time to prevent this, and then Cell coming back from his seeming demise as Super Perfect Cell who has enough power to destroy the universe, culminating in the iconic Kamehameha vs. Kamehameha beam struggle where Gohan performs the move with just one arm while Goku's spirit lends his assistance. It's just incredible action, from start to finish.

What are y'all's thoughts about DBS chapter 96? It was okay to me. But there is some good and "bad."

(Didn't post this when I made it either. Think I got lazy or forgetful with this one.)

BAD:

When Orange Piccolo punches Gamma 2. The start up was weak & it looked like it lacked impact. Art was fine, but the flow of motion was... It left a lot to be desired.

The panel where Pan kicks Carmine is just bad. It was taken straight from the film so the posing isn't bad. What's bad is that it cuts off the top half of Pan's head. Paneling could've been better. Get rid of panel 5 from page 16 and move panel 1 from page 17 to page 16. That would make it look better.

The joke about Gohan not being able to see could've been shortened. First he couldn't tell who Goten & Trunks were. That's fine. Chuck it up to Gohan not seeing them for a while and couldn't recognize them without his glasses. But with Krillin... Can't Gohan just recognize Krillin's voice? It ain't like Krillin's changed. Then Gohan drops the senzu because he can't see. The joke was a bit overemphasized & stretched out. Either get rid of the instance with Goten & Trunks or the one with Krillin. The film had Gohan search for his glasses and then drop a senzu. That's it. But that's just my personal opinion. Others may feel it was the right amount of jokes & wasn't over emphasized at all.

The Gammas vs Cell Max felt a bit stiff (art wise) with the combat. I would suggest more motion blur instead of speed lines. The speed lines don't always work to convey movement for every pose. It has to be the right angle and such.

Trunks is missing teeth...

GOOD:

Hedo chasing Magenta in the carts was a neat alteration. But Hedo still doesn't feel like a guy who was somewhat manipulated like he was in the film. Hedo in the manga was a little terrorist. He attacked a school, attempted murder on kids other than super powered ones like Goten & Trunks, damaged property, & body snatching.

Magenta telling Hedo to wait when he's taking off his suit was funny to me.

Cell Max was drawn really well & detailed in that close up when the giant creature shouts. Idk why ppl were trying to say Toriyama did that. Toyotaro's thing is to do a lot of detail on a few panels.

Piccolo's angry face when Gohan dropped the senzu was funny. Now I do wonder if Toriyama had his hand in that panel.

The Saiyamen X part at the end... Its whatever. I don't mind it. I just didn't like the prequel story about the Saiyamen X. The next chapter will likely have my attention more than this one did. Goten & Trunks fighting Cell Max before they fuse is kinda interesting. IF they fuse in the manga (they do). Or they may get the fusion right (they don't). The Gammas & the others fighting should be interesting too. I bet the chapter will end right before Gohan transforms into his Beast mode or right after (I was wrong, Toyo stretches the story a bit more).

However... I suspect Krillin drop-kicking Cell Max won't happen in the manga (I was right). Toyo might make Krillin the comic relief instead of Gotenks. So that means taking positive scenes away from Krillin & giving it to another character (scenes were taken away). But he will likely have the scene where he saves 18 with a Kienzan still (yup). Worst case scenario, Toyo will make the Kienzan break when it hits Cell Max to reference an inaccurate filler scene in DBZ. (Didn't happen thankfully. But what happened was subpar compared to the film)

Hmph. All right, then. I'll let you off. The life you have ahead of you is torture enough.

Now then. I'll have to get you two some battle clothes. They'll provide some protection.

[everymangavegeta]

Heh heh heh... It would be easy to blow you pests away right now.

The medical machines in this room are older, but they should be adequate. Pity I destroyed the newer models.
