Summary

The episode starts out with Super Vegeta finishing off a punch on Cell. Then Vegeta continues toying with Semi-Perfect Cell. After a few punches, Vegeta swings Semi-Perfect Cell into an island. Future Trunks is thinking how powerful Vegeta is and thinks about the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and how it could change. Then you see if in a fire and he is burning up. He sees his father about to die and he runs over to him only to be punched in the face by him. Then the flames go away and Future Trunks realizes it was not real. Meanwhile, On Kami's Lookout, Bulma is asking what is happening with Vegeta. Tien says he is winning and Piccolo is thinking that Vegeta is toying with Semi-Perfect Cell and it might give Semi-Perfect Cell time to absorb Android 18. Then, inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Gohan is increasing his power level, trying to become a Super Saiyan. Goku says that it takes more than increasing your power level and you should have a meaning instead of doing it just to do it. Goku tells Gohan to imagine Semi-Perfect Cell is killing Goku and his friends. Gohan says he has never seen Cell so Goku tells him to think of Frieza instead. Gohan imagines Frieza killing Krillin, then Piccolo getting hit by a laser beam. Then he thinks of Dende dying and Goku as a Super Saiyan stuck on Namek until it explodes. Gohan’s hair then turns yellow for a few seconds then he falls down. Then, back with Super Vegeta, Semi-Perfect Cell punches Vegeta then throws him down. Then he looks at Future Trunks and wonders what he is looking at. Then Vegeta comes up and punches Semi-Perfect Cell until you see little dents in him. Semi-Perfect Cell powers up and Android 16 says Semi-Perfect Cell’s power level is increasing. He then punches Vegeta hard in the face and starts laughing. Then Vegeta looks up with a little blood coming from his lip and says that while in the time chamber, he became Super Vegeta and Semi-Perfect Cell is no match for him.
