SummaryEdit

At the start of the episode, Cell blows up the Earth's Military. Goku soon uses his Instant Transmission to get to King Kai because he thought if he got Earth a new Guardian the Dragon Balls would come back. King Kai locates the Nameks. He teleports to where they are. After some talk Dende agrees to be the Guardian of Earth. Goku brings Dende to Kami's Lookout.

Meanwhile it is announced that Mr. Satan, the world champion, will fight Cell in the Cell Games.

Soon they are about to create a Dragon when Goku asks, “Can it be powerful enough to bring back everybody Cell defeated?”

Dende says, “Yes, but then it will only be able to grant 2 wishes.” Mr. Popo gets a stone Dragon and Dende makes the new Dragon Balls and the Dragon Balls fly off. Goku goes collecting the Dragon Balls and finds two. The picture cuts to Perfect Cell waiting for the tournament.

TriviaEdit

Chi-Chi says no one knows how to drive a car, but Krillin was shown driving with Maron in a previous episode, and Chi-Chi herself was shown driving a hovercar during the Saiyan Saga.
In the uncut version, Mr. Satan is introduced as Hercule Satan.
Gohan is shown wearing just a white shirt when Goku Instant Transmissions him and Krillin to the lookout, but a scene later when they get there he's back to wearing the clothes Piccolo gave him.
