Spoilers for this title

Quick recap

During the ten-day wait, Goku rests as a Super Saiyan and spends time with his family; Mr. Satan, the world champion, shows up at the Cell Games and gets knocked out of the ring. Goku fights Cell evenly, then gives up and passes the turn to Gohan, convinced his son hides greater power. Cell spawns Cell Juniors that attack the others and crushes Android 16's head. Rage turns Gohan into a Super Saiyan 2, and he tears the monster apart. Cell tries to explode and take Earth with him, so Goku teleports him to King Kai's planet and dies. Cell returns, kills Trunks and falls to Gohan's Kamehameha, helped by his father. Goku decides to stay dead.
