Tomorrow, I Am Going To Pulverize You!! Goku's Challenge

     Tenshinhan continues to hold off Cell with his Shin Kikoho. Cell tries to fly out of the crater, but Tenshinhan keeps pushing him back down. Tenshinhan turns to No. 16 and No. 18 and tells them to hurry up and run away. No. 18 helps No. 16 get up, and the two of them fly away from the island. Cell tries to go after them, but Tenshinhan pins him down with another Kikoho. At the Kame House, everyone feels Tenshinhan's Ki rapidly dropping, and urge for him to quit. Chaozu suddenly comes out of nowhere and asks them if Tenshinhan is going to die. Yamucha and Chaozu try to go help him out, but Kamesennin says that they would only add to the casualties if they went  In the Heavenly Realm, Goku also urges for Tenshinhan to stop using the Kikoho. Tenshinhan finally begins to lose his power and fires a final Kikoho. He falls to the ground, and lies there. Motionless. Cell eventually creeps out of the crater and curses No. 18 for escaping. He goes over to Tenshinhan and says that it is an embarrassment that someone such as he had held him back so long. He notes that Tenshinhan cannot even move, and kicks him a short distance. In the Heavenly Realm, Goku feels the drop in Tenshinhan's Ki and teleports to the battlefield. Meanwhile, Cell raises his arm and prepares to eradicate Tenshinhan. Suddenly, Goku appears in front of his friend with an angry look on his face.

    Cell recognizes Goku right off the bat. Goku tells Cell that he knows there is no way that he could even hope to stand a chance against him in a battle. He says that although he is too weak now, he will return tomorrow and defeat Cell. Cell laughs at such a witty remark, but his look turns serious when he hears Goku mention that he can still feel Piccolo's faint Ki. Goku grabs Tenshinhan and teleports over to the shoreline. He sees Piccolo's nearly-dead body barely clinging to the island, and goes to help him up. He puts Piccolo over his shoulders and grabs Tenshinhan. Cell says that Goku won't even get the chance to fight tomorrow, because he is going to kill him now. Cell flies toward Goku, but seconds before Cell connects with Goku, Goku vanishes. Cell says that Goku is not his concern right now, and flies off to locate No. 18. Meanwhile, Kuririn finally catches up with Buruma and receives the shutoff controller. Buruma says that in order for it to work, he has to get within ten meters of them. She also says that she made battle suits like Vegeta's for everyone, and asks him to take them to everyone. Kuririn tells her that everyone is gathered at Kami-sama's Temple above Karin-To tower, and asks her to deliver them to everyone. She says that she'll do that, and asks Kuririn to destroy the Artificial Humans in return. In the Heavenly Realm, Piccolo and Tenshinhan are each given a Senzu. Goku tells Tenshinhan that he was too reckless, and Piccolo chimes in that he thinks that Cell is too strong for any of them.

    Just then, Mister Popo comes forth telling everyone that Vegeta and Trunks are about to come out of the Room of Spirit and Time. Everyone runs over to see Trunks and Vegeta come out.
