Ep. 80: Gohan Achieves Super Saiyan as Vegeta Fights Cell and Krillin Is Defeated

Gohan urges Goku to train seriously, prompting Goku to transform into a Super Saiyan and launch a Kamehameha. Reflecting on past failures, Gohan becomes enraged and achieves the Super Saiyan form for the first time. On the battlefield, Vegeta dismisses Cell’s Perfect Form as unchanged. Krillin attacks Cell with a Kienzan after absorbing Android #18, but the assault fails. Cell kicks Krillin, nearly killing him until Trunks intervenes with a Senzu bean. Vegeta engages Cell but quickly realizes his power is vastly inferior. While fighting, Krillin and Trunks discuss Trunks hiding his true strength, which exceeds Vegeta’s, to protect his father’s pride. Trunks intends to confront Cell only after Vegeta falls unconscious to keep his abilities secret.
