Episode 52

Goku: Alrighty Gohan, I hope you got plenty of sleep, 'cause today, we're gonna do some *special* training!

Gohan: This is going to be utterly terrifying or completely silly, isn't it? There is no in-between with you.

Goku: Naaaw, we're just gonna focus on a little bit of basic combat training that Piccolo told me you've been struggling with.

Gohan: No, you aren't...!

Goku: Today, I'ma teach you... HOW TO DODGE!

Gohan: I *really* don't think you--

Goku: YAAAAAAAAAHH!!

Gohan: HUEH!

Goku: NOW, this is gonna be a Super Saiyan blast!

Goku: As a non-Super Saiyan, you have no option but TO DODGE IT!

Gohan: Dad, you really need to listen--!

Goku: Because if you don't dodge this, you'll almost certainly, probably, definitely die!

Gohan: DAD, I'M SERIOUS!!

Goku: Reaaady? Aaaaaaaand...!

Gohan: 'Damn you, Pavlov...'

Goku: HAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Gohan: Huuh...

Gohan: ...huh... ggh... uhh...

Gohan: ...hugggh...!

Gohan: 'Mr. Piccolo!'

Gohan: 'Krillin!'

Gohan: 'Anyone?!'

Gohan: 'No... nobody is here to save me this time...'

Gohan: '...to save me like always...'

Gohan: '...I can't run from this...'

Gohan: '...I can't dodge this...'

Gohan: '...but if I can't dodge...'

Gohan: '...IF I CAN'T DODGE...'

Gohan: '...THEN...!'

Gohan: UUUUGGHAAAAAAAAAAHH!!

Goku: Whoa!

Goku: EEEEEEE!!

Goku: Well, look at you! And for a moment there, I thought you were *actually* gonna dodge.

Goku: Good thing that was only half strength, or...

Goku: Yeah, the first time is pretty intense...

Goku: *My* first time was with Freezer, and *boy*, was that rough!

Goku: ...So who wants a haircut~?

Goku: ♫ CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA ♫

Goku: ♫ Egao urutora zetto de ♫ (With a smile that’s Ultra-Z)

Goku: ♫ Kyô mo ai-yai-yai-yai-yai~ ♫ (Even today is ai-yai-yai-yai-yai~)

Goku: ♫ Sparking! [fading echo] ♫

Trunks: (Gasp)

Vegeta: (Grunt of approval)

Krillin: (Holding back tears angrily)

Perfect Cell: So, who's first?

Krillin: GIVE HER BACK!

Krillin: (Gasp)

Krillin: Uh!

Perfect Cell: Ah... a volunteer.

Krillin: UGHH!

Trunks: Krillin! Are you OK?!

Krillin: (High pitch wheezing)

Trunks: Do you need a Senzu bean?!

Krillin: (Continues wheezing)

Trunks: You're right; that is a stupid question.

Perfect Cell: Hey!

Android 16: Hello.

Perfect Cell: So, are we cool?

Android 16: You ate my family!

Perfect Cell: Hey, don't lose your head! They were my family too.

Vegeta: So ya broke the bald one's neck. BRAAA-VO! I hope you're not *too* proud of yourself.

Perfect Cell: Oh, Prince. I am proud. Not of that, no... but of you.

Perfect Cell: It takes a big man - not necessarily a tall one - to do what you did.

Perfect Cell: Sticking to your guns and just *throwing* everyone's lives away!

Perfect Cell: And for that, I tip my...

Perfect Cell: Huh... what *is* that on my head? Would you call it a crown?

Perfect Cell: Sixteen, would you call this a crown?

Android 16: I hate you.

Perfect Cell: We'll call it a crown.

Krillin: (Gasping for breath)

Trunks: Oh good, the Senzu worked.

Trunks: You know, it's too bad you don't have Saiyan biology; at this point you'd probably be unstoppable.

Krillin: (Panting)

Krillin: I know, right?! Also, Vegeta's gonna die.

Trunks: What? How do you--

Krillin: Trunks, do you have *any* idea how many times I've been hit by someone stronger than me since I became an adult?

Trunks: How would I know that?

Krillin: Every time! Barring your mother and Chi-Chi, literally. Every. Time!

Trunks: And?

Krillin: And I know when someone's holding back... *Trunks*.

Trunks: OK, I can explain.

Krillin: I don't think you can.

Vegeta: All right, "Perfect" Cell...

Perfect Cell: Mmh, love the ring to that..

Vegeta: I'm going to enjoy wearing down the knuckles on these gloves.

Perfect Cell: OK, I know that wasn't supposed to sound sexual, but--

Vegeta: Now if you don't mind, it's time to turn your little coming out party into a funeral.

Perfect Cell: Aaand time's up.

Vegeta: Uh...?

Perfect Cell: Prince, while there's absolutely nothing I'd rather do than stand here and listen to you bluster at me 'til the heat death of the universe...

Vegeta: Hmmmummm!

Perfect Cell: I literally have a million better things to do. So here's the deal:

Perfect Cell: I want you to hit me as hard as you can.

Vegeta: Oh, is that righ--

Perfect Cell: Now hold on, you might have misheard me.

Vegeta: Hmph.

Perfect Cell: Not "half as hard", not some arbitrary percentage...

Perfect Cell: I want you. To hit me. As hard. As. You. Can!

Vegeta: And if I don't play along?

Perfect Cell: Well, then I guess your father was right about you--

Vegeta: RAAAAAARGH!

Vegeta: Ugh! Uhh!

Perfect Cell: Ooooo, consider that nerve *touched*!

Vegeta: Wha--?!

Vegeta: Ugh? How?!

Perfect Cell: Because, Prince... like a soon-to-be-broken man once said:

Vegeta: Ugh! WAAAAAAUGH! UGHH! AUGH! ERGH! ERGH! AAGH!

Vegeta: Grr-urh...!

Vegeta: I'm OK...! I'ma... I'mmaah... ffuuuuuuuu--

Krillin: You've been holding back this entire time!

Trunks: OK, you're right!

Trunks: When I was training in the Time Chamber, I found a way to surpass my father.

Trunks: But he doesn't know! And if he found out...

Krillin: Then he'd be *mad* at you?! Listen, I like the guy, but his default emotion is "angry"!

Trunks: It's more than anger, it's pride! It would shatter him!

Krillin: And because of that, Eighteen HAD TO DIE?!

Trunks: What does it matter?! That was your plan the entire...

Trunks: ...oh.

Trunks: Shit.

Trunks: Wait, where is my father?

Vegeta: (Gasp), Haaaah, haah... (Pant)

Perfect Cell: See, Prince, that's what you get for not listening.

Vegeta: (Panting)

Perfect Cell: But, since I know you have trouble following directions,

Vegeta: (Panting)

Perfect Cell: I'm gonna give you one last chance.

Perfect Cell: You. Me. Hard as you can.

Perfect Cell: Are we clear?

Vegeta: *Crystal*.

Krillin: Maybe you should tell him before he does something completely reckless.

Trunks: There is literally nothing left that he could do to make this situation worse. Save blowing up the *planet*.

Vegeta: Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Vegeta: AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

Trunks: He is going to blow up the planet (!)

Krillin: BUT I LIVE HERE!

Perfect Cell: Hoho, that's much better! I can actually *feel* that.

Vegeta: In mere moments, all you'll be feeling... IS OBLIVION!!

Perfect Cell: That, or disappointment. Go ahead... flip that coin.

Vegeta: Raarrgh!

Trunks: FATHER! Your pride isn't worth destroying the *planet*! Come on!

Krillin: Waayy past the bargaining stage here...

Vegeta: FINAALL FLAAAASH!!!

Perfect Cell: Aw, how cute, he named it--OH SHIT!

Krillin: Ah, cool. He missed the planet.

Trunks: Thank God, he's not completely insane. "Completely" being the operative word.

Vegeta: Hahh... hahh... *hard enough for you*?

Perfect Cell: (Gasping and groaning)

Krillin: Bonus! It actually did something.

Trunks: See? Everything worked out. I mean, he's not dead but, it's a start.

Perfect Cell: (Gasping and groaning)

Vegeta: (Malicious laughter)

Perfect Cell: You... you think this is funny?

Vegeta: (Signature evil laughter)

Perfect Cell: You think this is funnyyyyy?!?

Perfect Cell: It's not... as funny...

Perfect Cell: ...as your face.

Vegeta: (Stops laughing)

Vegeta: Huwoh...!

Vegeta: Hu-ohh...!

Trunks: HOLY...

Krillin: ...SHIT!

Perfect Cell: You know, it might sound weird, but I kinda liked the old arm better.

Perfect Cell: Oh well. I'll just have to brrreak it in!

Vegeta: (Screaming)

Vegeta: WHY WON'T YOU DIE?!?

Perfect Cell: Prince... has this *ever* worked?

Vegeta: (Shocked grunt)

Vegeta: Waaagh-waah-ck!

Perfect Cell: Don't need to answer that.

Krillin: OK Trunks, you're out of excuses now. He's gonna kill your Dad.

Trunks: Y-you don't know that... he could just knock him unconscious, and then I'll--

Krillin: WE DON'T HAVE DRAGON BALLS, TRUNKS!

Perfect Cell: Some advice, Prince... for the future:

Perfect Cell: Next time, why don't you remember your place like the rest of them...

Perfect Cell: And wait for Goku?

Vegeta: DORRAAGH!!

Perfect Cell: K.O.!

Perfect Cell: I win~

Perfect Cell: Perfect.

Perfect Cell: Hm?

Trunks: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...!

Perfect Cell: Oh.

Perfect Cell: Here comes a new challenger...

Goku: Mmm, *yeah*! Charred meat with no seasoning. Just how Grandpa used to mak--

Goku: Gohan~, what did I tell you about controlling your power level?

Gohan: Well I'm sorry Dad, I'm just not used to my new strength yet.

Goku: No excuses Gohan. You have to eat. And just because the fridge *magically* restocks, doesn't mean we can waste valuable food.

Gohan: Uh, Dad? I think your hair is on fir--

Goku: Don't change the subject, Gohan.
