Overview
Edit
They were in Gingertown, recording, as Imperfect Cell attacked but did not get proper footage of him, and they also reported on the aftermath of Cell's absorption of Gingertown's inhabitants. Later on, a crew from ZTV's KBC News TV show reported at the Cell Games for as long as they were able. When Mr. Satan feigned illness after his defeat at the hands of Cell, the ZTV crew was skeptical, but maintained to viewers that Mr. Satan was indeed combating a deadly sickness.



Added by Jeangabin666Due to the superhuman speeds at which Goku and Cell moved during their match in the tournament and the constant barrage of energy attacks being used, the ZTV crew was unable to track their movements with a camera, leading to numerous complaints from viewers. Later, when Gohan fought Cell, most of the ZTV crew's equipment was either destroyed or lost and they were forced to discontinue broadcasting through most of the battle, which kept most of the world ignorant of the battle's true victor. Jimmy Firecracker and the cameraman Lionel from the Cell Games were present at Mr. Satan's victory parade.



Added by Jeangabin666ZTV also covered X.S. Cash's Intergalactic World Tournament; the world tournament featured in the movie Dragon Ball Z: Bojack Unbound and during which Tony, a cameraman, was knocked out by one of the Intergalactic Fighters.
ZTV would later produce a reenactment of the Cell Games, though it was heavily influenced by Mr. Satan's (inaccurate) retelling of the events. In ZTV's reenactment, Cell and the Z Fighters are portrayed as weak tricksters. After Cell defeated his competition and announced his intent to blow up the Earth, Mr. Satan arrived on the scene and effortlessly defeated Cell. The film ended with the Z Fighters expressing envy over Mr. Satan's fighting skills, Cell exploding and Mr. Satan stating that "justice always wins".
