DBZ Episode 172

From Dragon Ball Encyclopedia, the ''Dragon Ball'' wiki

"Piccolo emerges from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber as a much more powerful warrior, and Vegeta takes his place inside to begin his training. As Cell awaits the start of the games, the Royal Military shows up to try and stop him. Of course, their attempts are futile, and Cell smites the entire force. Goku, wanting to bring all of these innocent people back to life, decides to locate the remaining Nameks and ask one of them to become the new guardian of Earth." cannot be used as a page name in this wiki.

A New Guardian is the seventh episode of the Cell Games Saga and the one hundred seventy-second overall episode in the uncut version Dragon Ball Z series. The original Japanese title is "Kamisama wo Sagasidase!! Goku, Dai Shunkan Idou" (神様を探し出せ!! 悟空、大瞬間移動). The episode first aired on January 27, 1993. It's original American air date was November 21, 2000.

Summary[edit]

With the day of the tournament drawing near, Goku seems oddly relaxed, that is until someone decides it's time to take the bull by the horns, rather than wait for the commencement of the Cell Games, the military try one last ditch effort to destroy the destroyer, but unfortunately for them a swift upper hand has them all missing in action. The loss is too much to bare for Goku, but bringing them back would require new Dragon Balls.

Trivia[edit]

  • This episode has the first instance of breaking the Fourth Wall in the entire anime. When the army announced that they had Cell on the run, he turned to the camera and explained that he just didn't want them to blow up his ring, blatantly breaking the fourth wall.
