Goku and Cell clash as both unleash their full power in an intense battle
Jan 9, 2011Super Saiyan Goku and Cell engage in combat, prompting Gohan and Vegeta to recognize that neither fighter has yet reached their maximum potential. Both combatants subsequently elevate their power levels to the highest possible limit. Following a short exchange, Cell employs techniques borrowed from other warriors, including Tien's Multi-Form, Piccolo's Makankosappo, and Frieza's heat-seeking Kienzan. Goku successfully counters each of these assaults. Cell then charges a full-power Kamehameha capable of destroying the Earth, but Goku redirects the blast into the sky and uses Instant Transmission to return to the arena. Ultimately, Cell's speed becomes too great for Goku to match.

Goku and Cell clash at maximum speed as Cell destroys the ring to force a fight to the death.
Jan 16, 2011Goku and Cell fight at a pace too fast for most spectators to see, trading heavy blows while their power levels remain equal. To prevent a ring-out victory, Cell destroys the arena, forcing the combat to continue until one fighter dies or surrenders. The intensity escalates as Goku ascends into the sky to charge a massive Kamehameha. Observers believe he is bluffing, as the attack would destroy the Earth from that height. Instead, Goku uses Instant Transmission to teleport directly in front of Cell, firing the blast at point-blank range. While the world celebrates Cell's apparent defeat, the android's lower half regenerates. Although both fighters have depleted significant energy, Cell gains the upper hand as Goku has expended even more power. Desperate, Goku unleashes a barrage of ki blasts to end the conflict.
