Well I m Off to Go Die Again Dbza Die Again

"I feel similar a man dying of thirst watching some other man drown."

—Krillin, as Goku keeps getting worn out with Chi-Chi

Original Airdate: November 25, 2016

"A Hell of a flop to drop", indeed.

Equally the Z Fighters set up for the Jail cell Games, Goku brings an old acquaintance from Namek to Earth in order to observe a replacement for Kami while as well learning that a new fellow member of the Son family is coming his and Chichi's way. Meanwhile, Bulma and Dr. Briefs encounter a shocking revelation from Android 16's data files.

---

Ƶ5,000 says it's tropes:

• Adaptation Expansion: The DBZA crew throws in totally new footage to expand on Android 16's character. See Drama Flop beneath.
• Adaptational Jerkass: Played for Laughs with Goku. In the canon version, he travels to New Namek looking for a new guardian and explains the situation to all the Namekians, who then allow him take Dende with him back to Earth. Here, he casually teleports to New Namek while everyone else is discussing the need to find the planet kickoff, and kidnaps Dende offscreen before taking him dorsum to Earth, not even sure if he tin can do the task before taking him.
• Babies Brand Everything Better: Chi-Chi is much more than friendly with Goku after learning that she is now pregnant with Goten.
• Badass Avowal: Mr. Satan gives one during his press conference announcing his entry into the Cell Games:

  Mr. Satan: At present listen here, Cell. I know why you gave everyone a week to prepare for your little tournament, it's so y'all can spend the terminal seven days on Globe praying that Mr. Satan wouldn't show up! (Crowd cheers). Then after I eat my Jimmy John's, and beverage my Hetap, and f*** my hot Asian wife! (Oversupply thank you again) I'chiliad gonna squash you like the Issues. You. Are.

• The Bet: Dr. Briefs makes a bet with Bulma, proverb he thinks that a video file found in Android 16's memory banks is interracial porn. They instead notice footage of Goku (inadvertently) killing Dr. Gero's son, equally well as the schematics of the bomb implanted in his body.

  Bulma: By the way, you owe me Ƶ5,000.
  Dr. Briefs: Ahh, girl of a bastard!

• Brick Joke: A 56-episode one.

  Goku: Bulma! Sex activity makes babies!
  [Baby Trunks yawns]
  Bulma: I'm well aware.

• Roughshod Honesty: Popo tells Dende exactly how bad being Kami will be if he takes the job.

  Popo: As the creator of the Dragon Balls, you shall assume the throne of Kami, Guardian of this planet. Nobody'due south thankful, in that location are no days off and no-one always visits.
  Dende: (disgusted tone) Ugh, sounds like beingness a parent.

• Butt-Monkey: When Cell is telling the whole story of the Dragon Ball series up to that point to the reporter, he gets to the function where Goku is revealed to be an alien, then skips ahead a yr to Nappa and Vegeta. The reporter asks what happened to Goku'south blood brother and Jail cell casually says "Oh, he died" in disinterest. He later talks near Vegeta and informs the reporter almost the Saiyan being a "cartoon characters". He later expresses some disappointment that the prince was later on revived.
• Phone call-Dorsum:
  • Once once more, a villain is asked, "How did you know almost the parts you lot weren't there for?" In this context, The KBC reporter is asking only how Cell knows everything that happened from Dragon Ball up to this episode.
  • Vegeta going insane in three days likewise happened to Piccolo in the previous episode, except Vegeta didn't accept Nail and Kami to speak to, and Mr. Popo only changed the dilation after Piccolo's turn.
  • Dende says, "Hey" to Gohan in the exact same manner that he did in the second Kai special.
• Phone call-Forward: During one of their sessions, Goku describes Chi-Chi as telling him to "Become for ten", an allusion to Goten's name.
• Claiming Seeker: Why Goku endures Chi-Chi's marathon sexual practice sessions.
• Companion Cube: Due to losing his mind while in the Hyperbolic Time Bedchamber, Vegeta paints a volleyball in Nappa's likeness and talks to him as if he's actually there.
• Crazy-Prepared: When Dende modifies the Earth Dragon Balls to grant two wishes, every bit opposed to three due to the demand to revive multiple people at in one case. Every bit a merchandise-off, he also prevents anyone from using them to wish for immortality, in function to prevent some other Immortality Seeker like Freeza from abusing Shenron'southward power.
• Deadline News: Cell agrees to an interview with a Boob tube reporter where he explains his origins and by extension, the entire Dragon Ball saga up until that indicate. The interview actually goes quite well and it seems the reporter will arrive out okay... Until Prison cell kills him for forgetting to address him as, "Mr. Perfect Cell."
• Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: Dende outright threatens Mr. Popo if he calls him "Piddling Green" again. Popo actually respects him for this.

  Mr. Popo: Well I'thou going to call you lot Little Green.
  Dende: Your funeral.
  Mr. Popo: (literally cracks a smiling for the first time since Kami died) I like you.

• Double Entendre: When talking with Krillin most Chi-Chi trying to make him go for more orgasms.

  Goku: Well yous know what they say, a Saiyan gets stronger every time he comes (yawn) back from the brink of death.

• Drama Bomb: It'due south revealed in this episode that Gero'due south son, whom Android 16 was modeled afterwards, was killed during Goku's attack on the Red Ribbon Army's headquarters, and thus explaining a great deal in Dr. Gero's obsession with killing Goku. Bulma and her male parent lampshade this:

  Bulma: Jesus…
  Dr. Briefs: Yeah… that's a hell of a flop to drop.

• Fan Wank: In-universe, oddly, the episode seems to fix a plothole from the original series - that beingness, Vegeta not mastering the Full Power Super Saiyan despite knowing how to do it and having years in the Time Bedroom to effigy it out. In this version, Vegeta went crazy within the Time Bedroom after only three days and Popo had turned off the fourth dimension dilation, which wouldn't leave him enough time to practise much of anything.
• Funny Background Issue:
  • When Dende does his whistle to Gohan, you can hear Piccolo say "ow" in the background.
  • Gohan reads the opening card, conspicuously uncomfortable from the distinct pounding sound in the background.
• Become Mad from the Isolation: Piccolo is non the only one hallucinating in the Time Chamber. Vegeta has as well started hallucinating after simply three days, except he has completely lost his listen due to not having Nail or Kami in his head to converse with. Mister Popo fifty-fifty says going in there lone is a big mistake, implying this volition happen to anyone who enters the Time Bedchamber lonely.
• A God Am I: His initial protestations aside, Dende shortly takes upon his new role as Earth'due south Guardian with glee, and takes a page from his Elder's playbook by demanding to be addressed equally, "Super Kami Dende."
• Innocently Insensitive:
  • A downplayed example. Krillin is bothered by Goku lament almost how much he and Chi-Chi take been having sexual practice lately, while Goku remains oblivious. Krillin is actually polite plenty to give Goku communication, but does bring upwards his own troubles with women in a subtle manner.
  • A much more than direct instance is when Gohan brings up how they don't accept Dragon Balls around Trunks, who responds with bitter sarcasm at the prospect of a world without Dragon Balls. Of course, given that it was Gohan, considering what Gohan was to him in the future and also what Gohan sacrificed for him, Trunks chop-chop lets it slide.

    Gohan: We live in a world without dragon balls now!
    Trunks: Oh yeah, that sounds terrible. I'm then sorry.
    Gohan: Information technology'due south alright. we'll manage.
    Trunks: ...I can't stay mad at you.

• Killed Mid-Judgement: Gero's son is killed by young Goku'due south Kamehameha right every bit he is hastily wrapping up his video log:

  Gero's Son : Okay sorry nearly this, Dad. Gotta run. Love you. Proficient luck with that whole cyborg— (Video stops right equally Goku unleashes the Kamehameha)

• Know When to Fold 'Em: Krillin decides to leave the fate of the world to Goku, as the world is doomed anyhow if he loses and Krillin knows he tin never catch up.
• Locked Out of the Loop: Nobody bothered to tell Bulma the Dragon Balls were gone until subsequently they got them back. Goku informs her of this before heading out and she asks "await, we didn't have Dragon Balls?" in defoliation before getting back to work.
• Mook Horror Evidence: The one from the original Dragon Ball is played upwardly with Gero's son'due south terminal video. Complete with the Carmine Ribbon Army soldier calling Goku some matter.
• Mythology Gag:
  • Piccolo's offscreen "ow" when Dende wolf-whistles at Gohan, and Dende's following comment that "That hurt me more than than it injure you", are both references to the sensitivity of Namekian hearing as established in the Lord Slug movie.
• Oblivious to Love: Gohan has yet to reciprocate Dende's obvious crush on him.
• Oh, Crap!:
  • Goku when Chi-Chi catches him at Kame House and yells at him for leaving the chamber.
  • Piccolo once Mr. Popo mentions that Vegeta's first mistake was going into the fourth dimension bedchamber alone. Having gone in lonely himself (at to the lowest degree PHYSICALLY alone, considering Nail and Kami) and suffered hallucinations after only three days, he realizes that this will happen to anyone who goes in alone.
• Oh, My Gods!: Dende gets this idea as he settles into Kami's role

  Dende: Oh, give thanks God! Or I guess I should start maxim, "Me!"

• Pun: We discover out where Goten got his name from; Chi-Chi tries to become Goku to beat his record of "nine times" by yelling "Go for ten!"
• Rage Breaking Point: Dende finally loses information technology when Krillin starts calling him "Petty Green" again and smacks him with Kami's pikestaff, before enervating Krillin address him by his existent name:

  Dende: You Will Phone call ME DENDE! DENDE! SAY It! SAY MY Name!
  Krillin: (terrified) Dende! Dende!
  Dende: No… Super Kami Dende.

• Running Gagged: Equally mentioned above, Dende makes Krillin finally stop using the "Little Light-green" nickname on him.
• Sanity Slippage:
  • After just iii days alone in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Vegeta's mental state has already deteriorated to the point he's conversing (and fighting) with inanimate objects. What'due south worse, Popo adjusted the time dilation and so that one day in the Sleeping accommodation equals ane solar day in real time (perhaps as continued retribution for Vegeta calling him "blackness human being" in the previous episode). Meaning that information technology but took three days in real time as opposed to in the diluted time effect for Vegeta to kickoff losing his mind during his isolation whilst grooming.
  • Compare that with Piccolo. Information technology'southward likely Popo only adjusted the dilation for Vegeta, meaning Piccolo's three days were even so three days, but every bit the start of the year that normally occurs inside, meaning only about 12 minutes or so in real time exterior the chamber. Plus, having Nail and Kami in his caput gave him actual people to interact with. Lastly, information technology's implied that they but started hallucinating by day 3 which translates to 12 minutes or so outside, when Vegeta already lost it by day 3 in real time.
• Wham Episode: In add-on to Dende condign the new Guardian of Globe after Kami went back to being a role of Piccolo, information technology'southward revealed that Dr. Gero'south desire for revenge on Goku, which led to the cosmos of the Androids and Cell, is the result of Goku killing Gero'southward son when the quondam destroyed the Red Ribbon Army'due south HQ.
• Wham Line: When Bulma hears the recording date from the video log she uncovered, she struggles to call back why that date in particular was so familiar ^notation It's the day Goku ended the Red Ribbon Army in Dragon Ball. Nigh the stop of the recording we hear this:

  Ruby-red Ribbon Soldier: (Alarms clarion) Hey, get your ass moving! Some affair is tearing its mode through the compound, we gotta get!
  Kid Goku: KA... ME... HA... ME...

• Worth It: Dende hurts his own Namekian ears by giving a whistle to Gohan, but is content having done so.

  Piccolo: Ow!
  Dende: That hurt me more than than it injure you.

• Yous Got Spunk!: Popo declares he will phone call Dende "Piddling Green". Dende'southward response? "Your funeral". Popo's response? Actual respect.

Reporter: Well, thank you for your time, Perfect Cell.
(Cell frowns, and so blasts the reporter)
Cell: MISTER Perfect Prison cell.
