Just bad execution. Goku should've been beaten to a pulp and and then Cell would get ready to destroy the Earth and then Goku tells him that Gohan will be the next fighter. Then Cell reveals that he wasn't even trying and shows his true power which practically heals himself. The rest of the fight plays out the same. I still think 16's death triggering Gohan works because kindred spirits.

>The rest of the fight plays out the same.

But Gohan vs Cell had literally no redeeming qualities whatsoever

No, that would be Goku vs Frieza after the latter did that “5 minutes” shit.

Goku vs Freeza at least had decent fight choreography, which is more than Gohan vs Cell can say.

Just read the manga

100% yes. Then again they was no hype, build or motivation behind any of it. At all. Infact Gohan was out of story 87% of the arc and didn't even meet any villain till then. And only hit 5 moves the entire time. Trash.

>no motivation

Cell was gonna destroy the world, Gohan needed to stop him

It’s pretty poorly thought out but there are a few choice moments where it sticks the landing, which is why it’s so memorable. 16 and Gohan have no relationship before this but Toriyama’s artwork is good enough to convince you in the moment. If you ripped out all the dialogue in the arc and just kept the art the story might actually improve.

>are a few choice moments where it sticks the landing

Name some.
