Aired on May 12, 1993
Enraged by Android 16's destruction, Gohan begins to ascend to Super Saiyan 2. Cell initially believes Gohan is repeating Trunks' mistake of merely powering up, but Gohan completes the transformation, astonishing the Z Fighters. Fully powered, Gohan surprises Cell by snatching the Senzu bean bag before Cell realizes it. He then attacks the Cell Juniors, destroying each with a single blow. Trunks notes that Gohan increased his strength without losing speed. After eliminating the Juniors, Gohan gives the Senzu beans to Trunks to distribute to the wounded Z Fighters and proceeds to face Cell himself.
