Dragonball Z Episode 188: Bye-Bye Everyone! Goku's Last Teleportation

(original, Japanese episode)

Cell reverts back to his second form from his perfect form. He tries desperately to hit Gohan but receives another blow to the sternum for his efforts. Krillin and Piccolo both yell at Gohan to finish it, but he still wants to torture Cell. Cell walks backward in fear but slips into a hole, catching the edge with his hand. Gohan stomps on the hand and kicks Cell in the face, knocking him into the hole. Cell tries to fly out but receives an elbow to the face. Now Goku yells again at Gohan to finish it off. Cell powers up and begins to blow up like a balloon. He says he will explode and destroy the entire earth with him. Gohan realizes his mistake and was about to attack, but Cell says it’s too late. Gohan falls to his hands and knees, wishing he had listened to his father and killed Cell, but now he is powerless. Cell laughs hysterically, but Goku has a plan. He tells everyone goodbye and teleports in front of Cell. Placing a hand on Cell, he tells his son to apologize to Chi-Chi for not being there for her and says his goodbye. He teleports Cell off of Earth and onto King Kai’s planet much to Kai’s displeasure. Goku apologizes to his master as Cell screams in anger and explodes, blowing up the tiny planet. Goku, Kai, Bubbles, and Gregory all die in the blast.

All the Z fighters begin to mourn the death of Goku. Gohan begins to cry and scream for his departed father. Krillin tries to comfort Gohan and tells him to stop blaming himself and how Goku was proud of him. Next, he goes to the aid of the unconscious Android 18, picking her up off the ground.

Up on Snake Way, Kai is screaming at Goku for killing him and blowing up his home. Goku asks about Cell and why he isn’t there with them. Kai discovers that Cell is still alive!

On Earth, Vegeta tells Krillin to kill No. 18, but he refuses. The wind picks up again, and Cell has returned! He fires a blast that rips a hole into Trunks’ chest, sending the boy flying. Vegeta is enraged. Cell is back again, and he is in his Perfect Form!
