IMAGINE being 8 years old... Watching this live.. Just knowing that goku would beat this unstoppable monster.. And then Watching gohan come in and just flip the entire script.. I remember those days
I wondered what really would've happen tbh. Like, I doubt Cell was gonna just.. go away but at the same time imagine if fr just was like "Ight imma head out then" and the entire saga is over. You see in super playing checkers with King Kia and shit.
@@baileyfall4757 Not gonna lie, I would have really enjoyed that. Cell is one of my more favorite villains from the series and wish to see him a bit more.
Watch it frame by frame, he literally spins it up like a tornado. Starts rotation in horizontal flight position and then turns the momentum towards a vertical axis to kick the snot out of Cell. F***ing awesome.
"I'm behind you now Goku, am I too fast for you?" "I'm behind you now Cell, am I too fast for you?" "Ahh but that's where you're mistaken, for I am now behind you." "You'd be wrong about that, because I'm behind you now!"
Bruh Goku’s balance at the edge of the ring at 1:39 is superb. Even cell looked frustrated. Those years as a tournament fighter as kid are really sharp here. Super needs to get to this crisp, electric fighting choreography again :/
@@maxhydekyle2425 my favorite part is ofc SSJ2 Goku vs SSJ2 Caulifla and Kale. When Kale got Goku in that arm lock and Caulifla basically went into a boxing stance and went in
MASTER INSATIABLE not really gohan didn’t have his guard up cause he didn’t want to fight so there was no effort on his part to at all to do anything related to the fight till 16 died then he tried a little more as in went ssj2 and demolished the cell jrs and cell and when cell returned again gohan could have killed him faster he just didn’t trust himself to not blow up the planet again he was way stronger than cell even when he returned
@@East_Texas_Gaming moving faster than the eyed can perceive, you also also need to understand that these fights should be thought as super fast, a fight that is minutes in the anime is just seconds in "reality", it just kinda slows down to make it clear what the hell is going on since they are truly fast. Those aren't teleports since it's a technique that literally only Goku and maybe a few others learned, you can't just disappear in DragonBall
@@mihailcirlig8187 yup the only one capable of disappearing is Goku with the instant transmission, but he needs to do the finger thingy and concentration before teleporting. iirc this was the afterimage technique, something only extremely fast fighters could do.
Cell was the only Dragon Ball Z villain that actually got in everyone’s heads. Buu and Freeza just pissed the lot off. But cell genuinely played mind games with all of them.
honestly this is one of the strongest examples of why hand drawn traditional animation can bring a level of creativity that vector flash animation can't
+Zarcon ? I don't see how. There is nothing particularly revolutionary about this scene, and there is nothing here creatively that can't be done using vectored animation(because guess what? Its still hand drawn).
+daquan94 I agree that this is neat, but I don't really think its something worth emulating, especially since there are loads of animators that have produced scenes that are far far stronger than this one from a technical standpoint, and were also far more effective visually.
I love how even though Cell knows he's stronger than Goku, he still doesn't want to let Goku go on a spree and knock him out of bounds. He's fighting more reactively and not underestimating his opponent with the small amount of space he's given. The animation is able to showcase Cell's intelligence in an organic way, without actually doing this through dialogue. It's just a brilliant fight all around. The worst thing they did with this fight was destroy the arena. That was the single most engaging aspect of it
I'm glad the ring was there for Hercule's figjt & Goku's first round Nice to get rid of the ring after those for contrasting and to let them show their feats of strength
It would have been interesting to see this more if Cell had fought the other fighters, it's really odd that the tournament was built up, went through the effort to make and detail this fight, and then scrap it immediately.
I think it would be more interesting to watch the ring getting slowly destroyed as the fight gets more intense, then they having no choice but to change the rules
This fight is perfect because of how much non-stop fighting it is. Constantly alternating attacks, feints and tricks. Fast, dynamic. Doens't stop until the end. No talking not even taunting, just pure fighting. This is how a 100% serious fight between two superpowered martial artists at the same level would go down.
listen throughout the video like at 1:21 the soundtrack suddenly changes, in the actual episode the scene changes to the bystanders comments n mr satan and the other fighters also at 0:59 i finely remember mr satan and the brodcaster going "huh where'd they go?" "mr satan how do u explain this?" "they must be using tricks" n then some other shi happens and THEN it cuts back to the fighting. This video jus took all the good parts from an actually dragged out scene.
@@thecringekid1929 Cell has the cells of the greatest martial artists in the world! He is going toe to toe with a legendary martial artist how the hell is Cell not a martial artist.
Really? I thought it was good, but I never felt it was that intense. If this is the best fight sequence in Z, Super's animation is definitely better. For example, Goku and Trunks vs Black and Zamasu, Vegito vs Zamasu, Goku UI vs Jiren (first), and the end of Goku and Jiren's latest battle. In fact, Goku vs Jiren in general in Episode 130 was probably the best animated fight scene in Dragon Ball, at least in terms of consistency.
Alan J nah all of supers animation is bad. everything is too static, nothing has impact and you don’t get a good sense of movement. In other words it isn’t really fluid ever. The art is good but the animation is overall lazy and subpar.
Are you kidding? There's a good sense of movement in may fights! In Vegito vs Zamasu, almost every blow has impact (save for a few rapid kicks), and Super definitely occasionally has really fluid animation. Just see some of the fights I talked about, and you'll see some of the most fluid Dragon ball animation. I'd especially say this is true for the first and last fights I mentioned.
NyQuiiL Cold & Flu that’s because gohan vs cell was Gohan dodging the entire time, hitting cell 2 times to demolish him, the usual power ups, and the kamehameha
Gohan vs. Cell wasn't really a fight. Just Cell beating down Gohan for a bit, then SSJ2 Gohan beating down Cell for a bit, then the kamehameha. Still love it though.
I mean this 2:36 is the crispest part of the series, while cell saga was the peak of the show. This part specifically did do everything right, but as a whole? Thats a diff story completely.
Dude... This was the 90s! Everyone else wouldn't touch this level of animation till the 2000s. Like it or not, most of us old heads in anime owe our love of it to toonami and their line up. Dbz, Yu Yu Hakusho, Gundam wing/g Gundam, ruroni Kenshin the wandering samurai, tenchi muyo, zoids, etc! The best time of my life!
@@vagiasthanasis Akira was a movie.. and had a movie budget and everyone knows movies of specific anime always have better anime.. and did ghost in the shell come out in the 80s? I don't think it did..
@@truly_I_say Ghost in the shell came out in 1995 and I dont care if akira had a movie budget, you said none could touch this level of animation till 2000 and you were clearly wrong
This fight is so perfect not only does it present the peak of what two of the strongest fighters can do with their speed and precision but also shows that while on par Goku is on a noticeable back foot throughout the encounter if you pay attention. He really was giving his best and was clearly not going to win. So good work to the animators for capturing that detail.
@@marnixmaximus3053 He'd have fought valiantly and ultimately lost had the fight continued. It seems Goku's strategy during the fight was to go for a ring out. Only when Cell blew up the arena did it become apparent Cell wasn't gonna be the type of person to accept defeat on a technicality, Goku fought for a bit longer before deciding to quit, since it was essentially gonna be a fight to the death one he couldn't win but Gohan could. Chances are withdrawing being the smarter move because had Gohan seen Goku get beaten it may not have allowed him to tap into his power he might have been too shocked and wasn't quite their yet.
the thing that makes this fight is the timing of the shots. they recover from blows very quickly, but you always get a short moment of them grimacing from a hit before they counterattack, and it makes the pacing of the fight so much better, and really makes it feel like a struggle rather than just endless blocking and punching
unknown guy Because frieza is more popular in Japan. But if u want a better one, then it's this: cell only acts in his best interest, which is to prove that he is the most perfect being in existance. What better way to do that than betray your own team? Or assimilate contestants? If he were to have been nearly killed in the ToP, it might have taken Beerus, Jiren, or even MUI Goku to kill him again, because he can regenerate from asingle cell and become at least twice, if not more, as strong as before. And what if he took Jiren by surprise, and consumed him, huh?
It actually happens in Super, MUI Goku vs Super Jiren, and is a prime example of how much smoother the animation is in this fight comparatively. For Reference - 53:08 in this video czcams.com/video/-xq8Za31i1I/video.html
Even though it’s over the top as all hell I love how during this section of the fight they show how far Goku is pushed. The part where he has to back flip after his double leg kick and barely even touches the ground before taking off shows just how desperate the fight is getting. Cell is so fast and so strong that there is zero room for error. In my opinion this was Gokus best fight. The only other fight that can compare to the sheer grit of this in the entire series would be Piccolo versus 17. I miss the style DBZ had. Even if it was just mindless dumb action it could draw you in and make you really care about what was going on just with little touches like facial expressions, and body language.
Honestly he was also having Gohan watch him fight first, so Gohan could see how Cell fought. I don't know if that effected his mindset during the fight or not.
@@wadaahal-rifai8165 how can you be a dragon ball fan,have Goku as a profile picture and hate dbz. That doesen't match. People like you made me stop watching anime
The ataata is in the Japanese and this English dub. Im assuming you clicked this video and instantly commented this without even listening to the audio.
There's a reason why many consider this episode of the Goku vs Cell fight and the 17 vs Piccolo battle the best fights in all of DBZ. Nothing beats a fight where the opponents counter each other blow for blow and pull out creative ways to land or dodge attacks and being seemingly evenly matched. I never understood why people thought the Gohan vs Cell fight was good.
@@friendlyneighborhoodcollec5928 Then why was Goku confident that he could finish Cell when Piccolo talked sense into him for putting Gohan against Cell ?
I remeber when this first aired on Toonami. That is was all I was thinking about, was this episode with Cell and I literally ran from my fucking bus stop, dropped my school bag and changed the channel, this fight was the best thing a 10 year old could have ever experience EVER!!! THANK YOU DBZ AND THANK YOU TOONAMI!!!!!
@@ze_kangz932 I seriously doubt that it was him that made them mainstream since they didnt become mainstream until way after dragonball. There were cool anime both before and after dragonball as well.
@@vagiasthanasis Those cool animés I know some of them(fist of the north star, Nadia, Astro boy...) but DB was the very first to be a massive success, which showed that Anime can be a genre of media on its own and inspired many mangakas to make thier own hits. You need to stop hating and give credit where it's due :)
@@ze_kangz932 I am not the one who doesnt give credit where its due. Did you read the first reply? "THE FATHER OF ALL ANIME?" You guys are the ones atributing every othe mangaka or cartoonist efforts to Toriyama... Even taking what Tezuka accomplished and giving it to him. No,Toriyama was good but he was not the one responsible for making anime a thing.
This part of the fight makes me genuinely feel bad for the person who animated before it. Before this part, Cell and Goku were fighting, but the animation is so stiff and uninteresting. Then this part comes in with flawless and fluid animation that shows their intensity in a fight, as well as their brilliant technique. One of the best fights in the show.
i can not believe i forgot about this fight tbh, seeing it now, its fucking incredible lol. cell using his technique against him and it was pissing goku off at 0:51
This is the best fight in the show. Had Gohan actually fought Super Perfect Cell after he returned, that might have been better. But sadly they went straight to the beam struggle
Yes, that's my only complaint with this saga, it would've been much better if Gohan and everyone else had an epic fight against Cell, and then, when they are all fucked up, proceed with the beam struggle.
KurasakiBleachigo1 idk cause of he lost against an injured Gohan it wouldn't been a for sure win against Gohan and he seemed pretty confident he could fight the powered up cell before his injury
nnightkingj He lost to Gohan because of a surprise attack from Vegeta. And while Gohan might have a bit more raw power than Cell, Cell is a much better fighter. So he wins in anything that isnt a beam struggle
My favorite part about this entire fight was Cell's innate respect for Goku. He had a high enough regard for him that he purposefully holds back in order to fully enjoy their fight. Cell knew from the beginning that he was stronger than Goku. He could have demolished Goku without breaking much of a sweat, and yet he went out of his way to keep the fight as even as he could. Goku was Cell's favorite opponent and the only one that he truly respected. Cell literally pulled a Goku for the sake of enjoying his fight with Goku, lol.
What I really like about this fight is how Goku moves between clashes. It’s especially obvious at 1:46, where he looks like he’s bouncing around on the moon or something. When you think about it, it makes a lot of sense considering that he spent an entire year in the Time Chamber, which is stated to have a much higher gravity than that of Earth. His body acclimated to the intense gravity, and now that he’s in normal Earth gravity it feels like nothing at all! It’s that attention to detail that really gets me with this.
🗣If you watch at 2x speed it btter represents the true speed goku and cell were actually fighting 🫠 So beautiful, if only the whole series sped up fights scenes
Anybody else love the sound design in dragon ball too. The teleport sounds, the sounds of them spinning threw the air, the punches landing even the landing noises are on point.
Absolutely unbelievable piece. The music, the choreography, the animation. You can sense not only is Goku fighting for the planet’s future, but that he is relishing testing himself. He’s at his peak, and you can see the skills he possesses. That kick at 1:27 is incredible.
This fight truly felt like two super powered martial artists during it out, a trait all the best fights in the series share and something that a lot of the fights nowadays really lack
Back when Goku knew when to get serious. Yeah, notice how he isn't smiling like a complete idiot? He's angry, frustrated, going all out, he realizes the actual stakes here.
yea but he was smiling while giving cell a senzu bean and fixing his son to get beat down lmao. also, goku has never smiled during the climax of any dbs fight.

Jazz Mazz bruh I've seen all of super. But the stakes never feel as high as they do in z. U can't almost feel the punches like u do in z. It's cool to look at some of the fights but they didn't put nearly as much effort into the series as they did with z and that's not debatable
+Robert Holmes I agree with that first part. Super is pretty dull for the most part. Keep hearing the second part, don't ever get it. I'm rewatching Z, and yes, there are awesome scenes, but the punches never really felt more or less powerful, or impactful, at least animation wise. The only real difference I would say, is in atmosphere. Kukichi is easily the best OST creator on the show and his tracks all of Sumitomo's out of the park, especially when they're well placed. As for the effort thing, that's pretty much straight up bullshit. Though it didn't always translate into on screen results, its been described at length that pretty much no effort was spared in improving the production of the show, and it certainly shows in the TOP, which has a lot of the best animated fights and moments in the TV franchise, a lot of the scenes being better than anything animated in Z. The reason why a lot of the time, these efforts often went to waste, was due to the horrible planning and pre-production that effected the show since its conception to its very end. www.sakugabooru.com/data/080da71f7c83ac8d64cde706c8693799.mp4 www.sakugabooru.com/data/a7eeb02d693eb20249277f88c26c0656.mp4 www.sakugabooru.com/data/9aa94b93c1f18a54f797639d2da3582c.mp4 www.sakugabooru.com/data/8d15f94127b676f9a30ed5917f5724a7.mp4 www.sakugabooru.com/data/25377e34f46c322668bf4e627748a662.mp4 www.sakugabooru.com/data/5d9c93ec32c116af11e8f79ad311a5b6.mp4 www.sakugabooru.com/data/78f7ebd9cd82c68a9b04985a274e33fc.mp4 www.sakugabooru.com/data/07fba098aa4cb05a347b45e3e2b51581.mp4 www.sakugabooru.com/data/8ada0ea13b67f5a378b6e84848c25504.mp4 www.sakugabooru.com/data/e261c9165846b51e54e24a9c780339a8.mp4 www.sakugabooru.com/data/b6e14c7e4986140866dd39f3ccb94969.mp4 www.sakugabooru.com/data/e726f6325e3f8b7339bcaefe49860cf5.mp4 In my eyes, Super is a really tragic show. Not in the sense it was bad, but because it was bad when it really had the potential to better, which I think is better demonstrated in the stark contrast in quality between episodes 123-129 in comparison to 130 and 131.
Also, where in dragon ball super did u feel like anything might not work out. In super, u were always like "oh he's strong, I wonder how they'll beat him" not "holy shit this character is about to get fucked up and I'm worried"
What I like about this scene is that cell was always way stronger than Goku but didn't power up to max but rather tried to beat Goku, who is a fighting genius, at his own game with fighting intuition and techniques. Instead of making it a power blowout he turned it into a game of chess
@@HHH_3 Bro was watching Dragon Ball Y. Cell was stronger than Goku, not by some crazy margin like twice as strong. But he was stronger and could have defeated Goku quicker if he used his full strength. Also Gohan's SSJ2 wasn't just a 2x amp. It was 2x plus an additional rage boost. Which explains why Gohan being around Goku level, was able to clown on Cell who was definitely stronger than Goku. 2x alone would not be enough to explain the beat down that happened.
0:30 is so badass. Hands down best animation of any fight scene in DB. I really don't get what the hype is with DBS combat, the art style is just flashier
This choreography is so good... I honestly really miss this animation and choreography. Its an actual fight instead of what they have in DBS. Lots of dodging, there’s force behind the hits, lots of fast paced attacks and movement. It just makes for an all around better fight scene.
100% the case. DBS feels like they dont weigh anything or something. Less dust, debris, shaking, etc. etc. DBS just feels so shallow and cheap compared to this.
@@thembones1895 Yeah, the choreography is actual fighting. It's not just showing us two people hitting really fast. There's fully fledged fights in DBZ.
@@terrydubuisson4209 Not on this caliber though. I'd have to say SOME of the fights were well choreographed but 90% of them were not anywhere near this level of choreography.
Man, Super was good but it NEVER had a SINGLE fight scene like this or against Frieza on Namek or SS3 Goku vs. Kid Buu. Super had good fight sequences/fight scenes (Goku Black/Zamasu vs. Future Trunks/Goku, SS Blue Goku vs. Hit, SSB Vegeta wailing on SSR Black, Goku/Frieza/17 vs. Jiren just to name a few) but never solid FIGHTS I'm talking like Z where some fights would be 2-3+ episodes (didn't have to be over 10 like against Frieza but you know what I mean).
@@akhil6826 dbs broly had the art style but animation wise while it was above all of DBS it still isn't up here with this Cell fight. And you're also comparing a movie production with a weekly anime production lmfao And no, MUI Goku vs Jiren was not better animated than this.
He lost when goku blew half of his body off therefore making goku the last man standing. Cell can change the rules cause he made the cell games tournament happen.
ItzLit XXIII Last man standing as in last man still alive, nothing said that Cell couldn’t regenerate. Piccolo was in there as well and there are ways to regain strength in the middle of the fight so it’s not as if it only applies to Cell.
Cell took the OoB rule out of the book by blowing up the ring prior to touching the ground. Also regeneration is far from illegal so aside from blowing up the ring, Cell played perfectly fair.

honestly this is one of the strongest examples of why hand drawn traditional animation can bring a level of creativity that vector flash animation can't
+Zarcon
?
I don't see how. There is nothing particularly revolutionary about this scene, and there is nothing here creatively that can't be done using vectored animation(because guess what? Its still hand drawn).
Jazz Mazz well it hasn’t been done... the black goku arc had its moments same with Jiren but wasn’t as neat as this,
+daquan94
I agree that this is neat, but I don't really think its something worth emulating, especially since there are loads of animators that have produced scenes that are far far stronger than this one from a technical standpoint, and were also far more effective visually.
Guys check this goku vs cell full fight :czcams.com/video/tel0xNIq6Mw/video.html

@@Rexollator same situation bro lamo
I love how even though Cell knows he's stronger than Goku, he still doesn't want to let Goku go on a spree and knock him out of bounds. He's fighting more reactively and not underestimating his opponent with the small amount of space he's given. The animation is able to showcase Cell's intelligence in an organic way, without actually doing this through dialogue. It's just a brilliant fight all around. The worst thing they did with this fight was destroy the arena. That was the single most engaging aspect of it
I'm glad the ring was there for Hercule's figjt & Goku's first round
Nice to get rid of the ring after those for contrasting and to let them show their feats of strength
It would have been interesting to see this more if Cell had fought the other fighters, it's really odd that the tournament was built up, went through the effort to make and detail this fight, and then scrap it immediately.
@@hyperion3145 wouldn't be fair, yamcha would beat him
I think it would be more interesting to watch the ring getting slowly destroyed as the fight gets more intense, then they having no choice but to change the rules
@@jpebrz I agree
This fight is perfect because of how much non-stop fighting it is. Constantly alternating attacks, feints and tricks. Fast, dynamic. Doens't stop until the end. No talking not even taunting, just pure fighting.
This is how a 100% serious fight between two superpowered martial artists at the same level would go down.
listen throughout the video like at 1:21 the soundtrack suddenly changes, in the actual episode the scene changes to the bystanders comments n mr satan and the other fighters
also at 0:59 i finely remember mr satan and the brodcaster going "huh where'd they go?" "mr satan how do u explain this?" "they must be using tricks" n then some other shi happens and THEN it cuts back to the fighting. This video jus took all the good parts from an actually dragged out scene.
You do realize this is only 2 minutes of an hour long fight. There's plenty of what you just talked about in this fight.
This is just the good part
To be fair cell isn’t a martial artist and Goku really even face like one anymore after db
@@thecringekid1929 Cell has the cells of the greatest martial artists in the world! He is going toe to toe with a legendary martial artist how the hell is Cell not a martial artist.

Hands down the best fight sequence in Z for me
LJ Agreed, absolutely did
Yesss, this one and the fight of Goku and Vegeta vs Metal Cooler in the movie are my favorites of all Dragon Ball
Really? I thought it was good, but I never felt it was that intense. If this is the best fight sequence in Z, Super's animation is definitely better. For example, Goku and Trunks vs Black and Zamasu, Vegito vs Zamasu, Goku UI vs Jiren (first), and the end of Goku and Jiren's latest battle. In fact, Goku vs Jiren in general in Episode 130 was probably the best animated fight scene in Dragon Ball, at least in terms of consistency.
Alan J nah all of supers animation is bad. everything is too static, nothing has impact and you don’t get a good sense of movement. In other words it isn’t really fluid ever. The art is good but the animation is overall lazy and subpar.
Are you kidding? There's a good sense of movement in may fights! In Vegito vs Zamasu, almost every blow has impact (save for a few rapid kicks), and Super definitely occasionally has really fluid animation. Just see some of the fights I talked about, and you'll see some of the most fluid Dragon ball animation. I'd especially say this is true for the first and last fights I mentioned.
And people have the audacity to say super is better than Z…..It could never compare

This fight was actually a lot better than Cell vs Gohan.
NyQuiiL Cold & Flu that’s because gohan vs cell was Gohan dodging the entire time, hitting cell 2 times to demolish him, the usual power ups, and the kamehameha
Had Gohan fought Cell after he returned, that might not have been the case. But they went straight to the Kamehameha, which is such a shame
NyQuiiL Cold & Flu U buggin
Gohan vs. Cell wasn't really a fight. Just Cell beating down Gohan for a bit, then SSJ2 Gohan beating down Cell for a bit, then the kamehameha. Still love it though.

This fight is so perfect not only does it present the peak of what two of the strongest fighters can do with their speed and precision but also shows that while on par Goku is on a noticeable back foot throughout the encounter if you pay attention. He really was giving his best and was clearly not going to win. So good work to the animators for capturing that detail.
Finally! Someone other than myself finally sees it! Good eye dude.
You can really see at some points that Goku doesn't have the edge.
@@marnixmaximus3053 He'd have fought valiantly and ultimately lost had the fight continued. It seems Goku's strategy during the fight was to go for a ring out. Only when Cell blew up the arena did it become apparent Cell wasn't gonna be the type of person to accept defeat on a technicality, Goku fought for a bit longer before deciding to quit, since it was essentially gonna be a fight to the death one he couldn't win but Gohan could.
Chances are withdrawing being the smarter move because had Gohan seen Goku get beaten it may not have allowed him to tap into his power he might have been too shocked and wasn't quite their yet.
It's especially telling after they trade hits at 1:51. It lingers on Goku more than it does Cell, as if to say 'our hero's in *big* trouble'.
Procession? You mean precision?
the thing that makes this fight is the timing of the shots. they recover from blows very quickly, but you always get a short moment of them grimacing from a hit before they counterattack, and it makes the pacing of the fight so much better, and really makes it feel like a struggle rather than just endless blocking and punching
1:27 so far the hardest kick i've seen in dbz.

The way Goku flips around to kick Cell when he appears behind him is just so... I want that to happen in super.
It's like a "Woaw!"
Spencer Cox how come they didn't pick cell to join universe 7 in the tournament
unknown guy
Because frieza is more popular in Japan.
But if u want a better one, then it's this: cell only acts in his best interest, which is to prove that he is the most perfect being in existance. What better way to do that than betray your own team? Or assimilate contestants?
If he were to have been nearly killed in the ToP, it might have taken Beerus, Jiren, or even MUI Goku to kill him again, because he can regenerate from asingle cell and become at least twice, if not more, as strong as before.
And what if he took Jiren by surprise, and consumed him, huh?
Spencer Cox cuz super is a cash grab and frieza is more popular and profitable. That’s all.
@@spencercox7931 its crazy that cell blocked that shit its like this two had an ultra instinct
It actually happens in Super, MUI Goku vs Super Jiren, and is a prime example of how much smoother the animation is in this fight comparatively. For Reference - 53:08 in this video
czcams.com/video/-xq8Za31i1I/video.html
Even though it’s over the top as all hell I love how during this section of the fight they show how far Goku is pushed. The part where he has to back flip after his double leg kick and barely even touches the ground before taking off shows just how desperate the fight is getting. Cell is so fast and so strong that there is zero room for error. In my opinion this was Gokus best fight. The only other fight that can compare to the sheer grit of this in the entire series would be Piccolo versus 17. I miss the style DBZ had. Even if it was just mindless dumb action it could draw you in and make you really care about what was going on just with little touches like facial expressions, and body language.
Nice analysis. I always like that small detail of Goku BARELY touching the ground before speeding up again.
The close fights are infinitely more interesting than one sided stomp - new transformation - one sided stomp - new transformation - one sided stomp
Nostalgiatard spotted. Shame, you had it going until you said "I miss"
La pelea de Goku SSJ3 vs Kid Buu también es fenomenal
Honestly he was also having Gohan watch him fight first, so Gohan could see how Cell fought. I don't know if that effected his mindset during the fight or not.

There's a reason why many consider this episode of the Goku vs Cell fight and the 17 vs Piccolo battle the best fights in all of DBZ. Nothing beats a fight where the opponents counter each other blow for blow and pull out creative ways to land or dodge attacks and being seemingly evenly matched. I never understood why people thought the Gohan vs Cell fight was good.
I know right?

This part of the fight makes me genuinely feel bad for the person who animated before it. Before this part, Cell and Goku were fighting, but the animation is so stiff and uninteresting.

nnightkingj true gohan would've won..not considering having the back up from the rest of the z fighters
nnightkingj He lost to Gohan because of a surprise attack from Vegeta. And while Gohan might have a bit more raw power than Cell, Cell is a much better fighter. So he wins in anything that isnt a beam struggle

My favorite part about this entire fight was Cell's innate respect for Goku. He had a high enough regard for him that he purposefully holds back in order to fully enjoy their fight.
Cell knew from the beginning that he was stronger than Goku. He could have demolished Goku without breaking much of a sweat, and yet he went out of his way to keep the fight as even as he could. Goku was Cell's favorite opponent and the only one that he truly respected.
Cell literally pulled a Goku for the sake of enjoying his fight with Goku, lol.
Todo un sayanjin
He has Goku’s dna
Can we just appreciate this kick and how slick Goku hit Cell with it
1:27
What I really like about this fight is how Goku moves between clashes.
It’s especially obvious at 1:46, where he looks like he’s bouncing around on the moon or something.
When you think about it, it makes a lot of sense considering that he spent an entire year in the Time Chamber, which is stated to have a much higher gravity than that of Earth. His body acclimated to the intense gravity, and now that he’s in normal Earth gravity it feels like nothing at all! It’s that attention to detail that really gets me with this.
you forgot to mention that his boots, wristbands, and shirt are weighted
🗣If you watch at 2x speed it btter represents the true speed goku and cell were actually fighting 🫠 So beautiful, if only the whole series sped up fights scenes

Absolutely unbelievable piece. The music, the choreography, the animation. You can sense not only is Goku fighting for the planet’s future, but that he is relishing testing himself. He’s at his peak, and you can see the skills he possesses. That kick at 1:27 is incredible.

Jazz Mazz bruh I've seen all of super. But the stakes never feel as high as they do in z. U can't almost feel the punches like u do in z. It's cool to look at some of the fights but they didn't put nearly as much effort into the series as they did with z and that's not debatable
+Robert Holmes
I agree with that first part. Super is pretty dull for the most part.
Keep hearing the second part, don't ever get it. I'm rewatching Z, and yes, there are awesome scenes, but the punches never really felt more or less powerful, or impactful, at least animation wise. The only real difference I would say, is in atmosphere. Kukichi is easily the best OST creator on the show and his tracks all of Sumitomo's out of the park, especially when they're well placed.
As for the effort thing, that's pretty much straight up bullshit. Though it didn't always translate into on screen results, its been described at length that pretty much no effort was spared in improving the production of the show, and it certainly shows in the TOP, which has a lot of the best animated fights and moments in the TV franchise, a lot of the scenes being better than anything animated in Z. The reason why a lot of the time, these efforts often went to waste, was due to the horrible planning and pre-production that effected the show since its conception to its very end.

In my eyes, Super is a really tragic show. Not in the sense it was bad, but because it was bad when it really had the potential to better, which I think is better demonstrated in the stark contrast in quality between episodes 123-129 in comparison to 130 and 131.
Jazz Mazz 130 and 131 were the only actually good episodes of DBS imo and the only decent fight, but it’s still nowhere as good as a DBZ fight.
Also, where in dragon ball super did u feel like anything might not work out. In super, u were always like "oh he's strong, I wonder how they'll beat him" not "holy shit this character is about to get fucked up and I'm worried"
God this fight..... there isn't a single fight in the history of dbz with this kind of energy and intensity. I wish more of the fights were like this.
goku vs frieza to me was better as it was very iconic.
Adrian Laney well there's goku vs majin vegeta and uub and kid buu
Goku vs kid buu was pretty good. Same with piccolo vs 17
Alex Tomlinson pay attention to what he said..no sequence in the frieza fight was even as close as this
Vegeta vs Recoome.
The animation of this entire fight scene>>>>>>>>>>>>>DBS
Do you have any idea what animation is? Animations are bruh moves and DBS is too superior
@@arielcervantes6174 Delusional boy .. What ever it is ? It's better than super .. I mean seriously who tf like seeing those plastic faces characters
shut up you fool
dbs is trash and garbage Animation
dbz always be the best @@arielcervantes6174
R.I.P LEGEND😢😢😢
I always loved the sequence at 1:48 !!
Cell lands on a push up position bloody awesome too.
0:57 love how both move so fast.
What I like about this scene is that cell was always way stronger than Goku but didn't power up to max but rather tried to beat Goku, who is a fighting genius, at his own game with fighting intuition and techniques. Instead of making it a power blowout he turned it into a game of chess
I’d like to point out that cell had the advantage for most of this scrap, as goku is needing to play more passively while fighting cell
Cell wasn't way stronger. It was a draw..Goku would eventually beat him if they kept fighting
@@HHH_3 yeah no lol. Only SS2 gohan could beat Cell that time
But then he lets the Freeza in him win and blows up the ring, letting him use power to defeat Goku.
@@HHH_3 Bro was watching Dragon Ball Y. Cell was stronger than Goku, not by some crazy margin like twice as strong. But he was stronger and could have defeated Goku quicker if he used his full strength. Also Gohan's SSJ2 wasn't just a 2x amp. It was 2x plus an additional rage boost. Which explains why Gohan being around Goku level, was able to clown on Cell who was definitely stronger than Goku. 2x alone would not be enough to explain the beat down that happened.
0:35 I’ve always loved that kick. The way the anticipation leads into a great arc with the foot and proceeding to settle on such a dynamic pose
0:30 is so badass. Hands down best animation of any fight scene in DB. I really don't get what the hype is with DBS combat, the art style is just flashier
This is what Super was missng, Super just look so stiff with their movements that it's hard to take it seriously
Super has this in some of there fights.
The windup to that kick at 1:27 is the best part.
1:27 that kick is so lovely
one of the most badass kicks
Still holds up. And better than most of the fights in Super by far.
Jiren vs Goku???
ukog nos he said most not all
ukog nos Goku vs Cell > Goku vs Jiren
+Marton Nagy
In terms of what?
Its certainly not better animated.
Jazz Mazz It's actually is better animated.
I am always blown away by how well choreographed this part is. So well done.
Really sucks that Studio Cockpit left the series after Z, Masunaga really spiced up the animation and especially the art when he came around.
0:45 always makes me crack up. Cell has fastest jab in the west
0:09 to 1:16 has the best soundtrack for a fight at that speed. Wish they did music like that in super
do you know what the ost is called for that sequence
Bookmarking this in case someone answers
@@akashicays same
@@fuostae5063 the music is piccolo vs 17 from the american soundtrack
This choreography is so good... I honestly really miss this animation and choreography. Its an actual fight instead of what they have in DBS. Lots of dodging, there’s force behind the hits, lots of fast paced attacks and movement. It just makes for an all around better fight scene.
100% the case. DBS feels like they dont weigh anything or something. Less dust, debris, shaking, etc. etc. DBS just feels so shallow and cheap compared to this.
@@thembones1895 Yeah, the choreography is actual fighting. It's not just showing us two people hitting really fast. There's fully fledged fights in DBZ.
@@VotingHarmony dbs had plenty of well choreographed fights
@@terrydubuisson4209 Not on this caliber though. I'd have to say SOME of the fights were well choreographed but 90% of them were not anywhere near this level of choreography.
DBS Broly is just amazing.
Had to come see this cuz my eyes were hurting from watching goku vs zamasu
Man, Super was good but it NEVER had a SINGLE fight scene like this or against Frieza on Namek or SS3 Goku vs. Kid Buu.
Super had good fight sequences/fight scenes (Goku Black/Zamasu vs. Future Trunks/Goku, SS Blue Goku vs. Hit, SSB Vegeta wailing on SSR Black, Goku/Frieza/17 vs. Jiren just to name a few) but never solid FIGHTS I'm talking like Z where some fights would be 2-3+ episodes (didn't have to be over 10 like against Frieza but you know what I mean).
Episode 65,128, 129, 130, 131.
The Haves and the Have Nots Review FOR THE FIRST TIME SOMEONE SAID IN A DBZ VIDEO "Super is good" YESSSSSSSS
I would argue that the last couple episodes of Super were roughly up to this level of quality. Unfortunately, it was too little too late.
Stephen Ball but it will come back
Yup. I actually felt the fights in Super were quite disappointing by most comparisons, but this is my fav DB fight ever.
This dub, the Bruce falconer music…just how I remembered it as a kid…my precious childhood right there.
R I.P. Goat
The fear of defeat, the feelings of mystery, the sensation of vehemence, fighting really is something!
This animation is excellent.
This two and half minute video is better than the entirety of DB Super.
Ur just stupid, look at dbs broly and ui goku vs jiren
@@akhil6826 Broly Is Too Overpowered That It Doesn't Make Sense And Goku V Jiren Was Good But It Didn't Had The Same Tension As Goku V Cell
Well said.
@@akhil6826 not really many people doesn't even like dbs
@@akhil6826 dbs broly had the art style but animation wise while it was above all of DBS it still isn't up here with this Cell fight. And you're also comparing a movie production with a weekly anime production lmfao
And no, MUI Goku vs Jiren was not better animated than this.
1:38 one of my favorite parts of the fight
Akira,thank you for everything! R.I.P
0:45
That’s such an intense machine gun punches. Cell giving Goku as little time as possible to recover
So Cell officially lost right there. You can't just change the rules in the middle of a fight, and Cell touched the ground first. Goku beat Cell.
He lost when goku blew half of his body off therefore making goku the last man standing. Cell can change the rules cause he made the cell games tournament happen.
ItzLit XXIII
Last man standing as in last man still alive, nothing said that Cell couldn’t regenerate. Piccolo was in there as well and there are ways to regain strength in the middle of the fight so it’s not as if it only applies to Cell.
Cell took the OoB rule out of the book by blowing up the ring prior to touching the ground. Also regeneration is far from illegal so aside from blowing up the ring, Cell played perfectly fair.
@@blessedxxiii5583 Goku """"killed"""" cell so Goku Is a out
I didnt said "If u kill me u Will win"
This here is the most underrated fight in Dragon Ball 🙌
do you even know what underrated means ?
MisterPikol he does not
I would say 17 vs piccolo and goku vs Ginyu were the most underrated fights in dragon ball z
@@BigBlack20 Goten vs Trunks
@@AlanBec3 that was more like a sparring match than anything but i see what you mean
Love the way this was edited. This part of the fight was the best. Great job! 👍🏼
Back when animation has heart and soul
Nostalgia googles right folks.
I miss this type of fighting. In DBS its all just about being fast and flashy. This fight had finesse and style.
& these supertards have the audacity to say brighter lights & prettier colors equals better quality 🤮
Watch this at 2x speed, its like watching it in real life if you were at the tournament watching them fight
AkatsukiXI you crazy it would be infinte time faster
Its probably how the weaker fighters see it: They can still tell what is happening, but its like on fast-forward.
Yo that was crazy
did as you mentioned. almost died of laughing with cells gatling gun fist 00:45 XD
This real intensity of goku is so much more heartfelt than the “I’m not going to let you destroy my planet”! Dbz super goku
Rip the creator of anime itself
Osamu Tezuka?
@@vagiasthanasis nah not him specifically but Akira helped anime grow because most anime like Naruto and any 1990s animes were inspired by dragon ball
@@ChristopherPortorreal-ol2mj and Toriyama was inspired by Tezuka who was inspired by disney
@@vagiasthanasis astro boy from 1960 did have some similarities to Disney
Fight choreography is absolutely legendary
