The Cell Arc fucking sucked

It required literally everyone to be a retard in order for it to work out
>They had to make Bulma a retard and go get blasted by Gero which let him escape
>They had to make 18 a retard by not running away while Cell was fighting Piccolo and 17
>They had to make Trunks a retard by not killing 18 in the present, the girl responsible for turning his timeline into the Holocaust, when he had the chance.
>They had to make Krillin a retard by him choosing not to kill 18 cause she kissed him once
>They had to make Goku a retard by giving Cell a sensu bean
>They had to make Gohan a retard by not killing Cell immediately after turning SSJ2
>They had to make Vegeta a retard by him charging at Cell without a second thought after he one-shot Trunks.
>Cell randomly learned to teleport out of convenience for the plot

The Buu Arc is also full of plot holes, but at least Buu as a character is pretty fun to watch. Cell lost any sort of originality after becoming perfect and just became a Frieza clone.

I guess this happened cause Toriyama kept being fucked around by the editors who wouldn't let him write the story he wanted to do, and thus created a clusterfuck made specifically for marketing hype.

>Cell randomly learned to teleport out of convenience for the plot
This
Although l enjoy many things of Cell's arc and Buu's arc, DBZ should've ended with SSJ Goku dying on Namek along with Frieza

>watching cell arc after the games are announced

that's gonna be a big no from me

>They had to make Bulma a retard and go get blasted by Gero which let him escape
That's kinda dumb but it's okay. Gero probably could've escaped another way. That's just one way of making this possible.
>They had to make Trunks a retard by not killing 18 in the present, the girl responsible for turning his timeline into the Holocaust, when he had the chance.
He never got the chance to.
>They had to make Krillin a retard by him choosing not to kill 18 cause she kissed him once
That's not the issue. The issue was destroying the remote instead of keeping it if Cell spotted them.
>They had to make Goku a retard by giving Cell a sensu bean
Didn't change shit. If anything, that was a smart move on Goku's side so Cell would keep up the game.

>They had to make Gohan a retard by not killing Cell immediately after turning SSJ2
>They had to make Vegeta a retard by him charging at Cell without a second thought after he one-shot Trunks.
Character development.

>Cell randomly learned to teleport out of convenience for the plot
That's pretty stupid but it has a point at least.

>They had to make 18 a retard by not running away while Cell was fighting Piccolo and 17
Yeah that's bad.

Vegeta being a retard for arrogance is perfectly in character
Krilling going full retard for pussy, is also perfectly in character

That's all I have to say.

>watch

Opinion discarded, subhuman. But yeah Cell arc is the worst one

Reminder that in the manga ONLY base vegeta helped gohan in the beam struggle while everyone else who was at full health sat by like cucks.

>Krilling going full retard for pussy, is also perfectly in character
Krillen both had no interest in marriage and was easily the most clever fighter in DB. Him breaking the remote was out of character for him.

Non-retard, passing through.

But it wasn't arrogance. He just got butthurt from Cell killing Trunks and decided to go full retard.

>was easily the most clever fighter in DB
That's like being the least retarded person on the short bus

>Trunks never got the chance to.
After he kicked Vegeta back and attacked Semi-perfect Cell, he went over to 18 and told her to get out of there. Rather than, y'know, just one-shot her.

>That's not the issue. The issue was destroying the remote instead of keeping it if Cell spotted them.
True, but that still makes Krillin a moron since he decided to crush the remote rather than just keep it around.

>After he kicked Vegeta back and attacked Semi-perfect Cell, he went over to 18 and told her to get out of there.
Anime only

I agree. Trunks showing up is cool and Gohan going SS2 and handing Cell his butt his cool. Everything in-between that is terrible.

Also
>splitting Bulma and Yamcha and making Vegeta and Bulma a couple just to spawn another Saiyan
>bringing time travel into the story to bring the kid into the plot immediately
>making said manufactured Saiyan immediately a Super Saiyan
>making Freeza into a total jobber
>power creeping so hard every human character useless for the rest of the story
>giving Goku space AIDS
>constantly humiliating Vegeta at any given opportunity
There is actually more but basically fuck he Cell arc.
Based.

Would have been a good time for him to go SSJ2

I remember seeing first form cell and thinking, holy crap he must be related to Piccolo!

How do you think Cell became perfect?

>but at least Buu as a character is pretty fun to watch
Hello retard

Tenshinhan was the least retarded in that moment but if it stopped Cell's second form why didn't he start using the Kikoho before he absorbed 17

>the new LR teen gohan is trash

cell banner only

enter the best character in this arc

THIS, except it's the best arc.

the secret is the entirety of Dragon Ball actually sucked.
It's a manga being written by a gag author who doesn't want to be serious and just wants to do gags, but his ability to draw and panel fight scenes was good enough to captivate generations but it never matched his writing ability because at the end of the day he only wanted to write gags and draw what he wanted, so actually planning shit out actually gets on his nerves.

Why did Roshi receive so much love in the ToP while Krillin and Tenshinhan got shit on? Also I know Super wants to treat Yamcha as though being a failure was always the plan with him, but it feels like they're just rationalizing all the bad writing decisions that made him look that way.

that all of DB after the Freiza arc
