    [S5] Episode 108 – Perfect Cell Unleashed! Favorite Moments & Epic Battles from the DBZ Cell Saga | ft. Josh (DAS)

    Hey what’s up, anime lovers! It’s ya boy Raysean, and welcome back to the Raysean Gadson Anime Podcast—aka R-GAP!Today, we’re continuing our Dragon Ball Z marathon with an absolute banger—episodes 150 to 160, where we witness the birth of Perfect Cell! I’m joined by my guy Josh from DAS, and we’re breaking down our Top 5 favorite moments, one thing we didn’t vibe with, and everything in between. We kick things off with Cell interrupting the epic fight between Android 17 and Piccolo, thanking Piccolo for unintentionally leading him right to the androids. Piccolo warns 17, but it’s already too late—Cell’s on a mission. Android 16 steps up to stall him, nearly pulling off a victory, but Cell’s Z-Fighter DNA lets him regenerate. He absorbs 17, knocks out 16, and sets his sights on 18. Tien puts his life on the line to slow him down, and just when things get critical, Goku steps in to save the day—buying time for a real showdown. Meanwhile, Vegeta and Trunks are deep in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, leveling up and unlocking that Super Vegeta energy. Vegeta goes head-to-head with Cell and starts dominating—until Cell tempts him with the chance to fight his perfect form. And we all know Vegeta’s pride can’t resist a challenge… Krillin, caught between love and duty, destroys the controller that could've stopped Android 18—because yes, my guy caught feelings. Cell ends up absorbing 18, triggering natural disasters, and BOOM—Perfect Cell is here. He casually kicks Krillin near-death and doesn’t even break a sweat. 🔥 It’s wild. It’s emotional. It’s classic DBZ chaos, and we’re breaking it all down for you! If you enjoyed this episode, don’t forget to LIKE, SHARE, and FOLLOW the podcast!Make sure to check out our previous episodes in the DBZ marathon to stay caught up with all the hype leading up to this moment.
