Description
After regeneration, Cell uses Instant Transmission to return to Earth just moments after his seeming death, announcing his presence by killing Future Trunks with a single shot. Vegeta, shocked by the death of his son, launches a furious assault on Cell; it is in vain, though, as Cell is unaffected by the attack and quickly knocks vegeta down and plans to finish him with a ki blast, but Gohan intervenes and takes the full force of it himself, as a result, damaging his left arm. Cell wastes no time after this and fires a Massive kamehameha at Gohan, hoping to destroy him along with the planet. Gohan, with Spiritual assistance from his father Son Goku, Blasts a super kamehameha wave with only his right arm. The two blasts meet in conflict, and a power struggle between Gohan and Cell ensues. Cell has the upper hand when the Z Fighters jump in. Their attacks do not affect Cell, though, and he maintains his blast. The only attack that affects Cell at all is a powerful blast from Vegeta which throws Cell off, and allows Gohan to destroy him, thus ending the Cell Games.
Though Gohan is effectively the winner of the tournament, the "official" winner is Mr. Satan, since Gohan and the Z Fighters fly off almost immediately after Cell's defeat and Mr. Satan claims that he defeated Cell single-handedly after Cell beat the other fighters. Despite the impossibility of this story's validity, Mr. Satan is easily believed by the populace and considered the true winner of the Cell Games (thus saving the Z Fighters from media pressure). Following the Cell Games, the Dragon Balls are used to revive Future Trunks, Android 17, and most of Cell's victims, save for Goku, King Kai, Bubbles, and Gregory who remain in Other World.
