Few random thoughts on ep. 95:
- I always wondered why Goku didn't just teleport away with King Kaio and co. after he took Cell to their planet. He just stood around chatting while continuing to touch Cell's belly. :\ - This is now at least the second time Gohan has personally saved Vegeta's ungrateful kiester (see Planet Namek and Recoome). - Dunno if it was new music or not, but I dug the cello pieces throughout the episode. Touching. Again, you come through with the stats. =)

More I think of it the more I can accept this being the end. It really was probably the perfect point to end the series. The Buu saga is obviously still Dragonball, even though it is my least favorite I still love it, but at the same time I really do feel it makes more sense for Dragonball to end at Cell.
Anyways that was one of my favorite Vegeta scenes in the series, too bad he got owned so easily. Next episode should be great with everyone attacking at once, another reason it feels like a proper grand finale. |

^You can't be serious!? DBZ can't end without the closure of Vegeta's pride! That's why the Buu Saga rocks! Vegeta ends the rivalry and with that ties a red-ribbon on the series^^...
Seriously though, Vegeta explaining to the ki's why he turned to the darkside to fight Goku is the most penultimate moment for me, I wanted to see how they were gonna reshape that scene where he kills all those people in the stadium...If the series ends now, everyone gets closure BUT VEGETA! Not on my watch! Funi, make it happen!

True there was more completion of Vegeta's story in the Buu saga, but I think he gets a nice ending point here as well, trying to avenge his son like that. It's really the first time we see him showing love or care for anyone else, and it's good since it's his son in this case. More specifically his son who had to grow up without him being there; it's actually quite touching for something that happens in Dragonball.
See, I don't really think Vegeta's rivalry was the focal point of his character. I thought it was his evolution from a villain to good-intentioned anti-hero, which is pretty much achieved during this past episode. I do think the Gohan/Goku passing the torch on, with Cell being the 'ultimate villain' created from every formidable fighter, Gohan achieving the hidden power they allude to from the beginning of Z, and then everyone pitching in to help defeat Cell makes this saga the most logical ending point. Again I still love the Buu saga, I'm just saying I think this makes more sense as an ending. |

One thing that got me is that I remembered Trunks dying instantly when the Death Beam hit him. However, Kai shows that he clearly suffered with a hole in his chest for like five minutes while Cell was explaining things before finally croaking.

At least he gets his revenge, albeit with a parallel version, against Cell when he returns to his own time. Really hope they can squeeze that storyline in before Kai ends. |

Don't know if you guys have heard about this, but Toei Animation Admits Plagiarisms in BGMs of Dragon Ball Kai.
