History Recap / DragonBallZAbridgedE48

** When Tien first shows up to try and stop Cell, the bio-android mockingly asks him if "Krillin was busy", echoing the Neighborhood Cluck version of Dead Zone when Goku asked Krillin in turn if "Chiaotzu was busy".

* {{Angrish}}: Considering how "super nettled" Cell is when he is reduced to this twice: First when Tien's pounding him so hard and frequently with the Kikoho blasts Cell can only yell out "ANGRY!" as he's getting hit. The second time when Goku uses Instant Transmission to save Tien and Piccolo from Cell causing a confused Cell to burst out "'''I have so many questions!'''"

* BadImpressionists: Cell attempts to trick 18 into letting him absorb her by manipulating his voice to sound like 17's happy being inside him...unfortunately "17's" uncharacteristically speaking like a JiveTurkey. When 18 calls Cell out on this, he [[LampshadeHanging points out]] that he just met the two of them in the previous episode.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: 18 threatens to activate her detonator in order to prevent Cell from absorbing her. Cell's more focused on the fact that 18 has a bomb in her boob (though she claims it's in her chest).

** When the Z-Fighters are talking about how they've died in the past, Chi-Chi mentions she hasn't died yet. Chiaotzu tells her she will some time soon, considering who she hangs out with. Had the show covered the Buu saga, Chiaotzu would have been proven right by Super Buu.

'''Chiaotzu:''' Died. Yes. Jesus, [[DeathIsCheap we've literally all done it]].\\

* PrecisionFStrike: Tien lets loose with a trifecta right before attacking Cell. See the page quote.

* RageBreakingPoint: Tien pretty much invokes this after being [[OutOfFocus on the sidelines]] for too long.
-->'''Tien:''' No! I am not a spectator! I AM A WARRIOR!!!

* {{Angrish}}: Goke senses from the Lookout how "super nettled" Cell is when he is reduced to this twice: First when Tien's pounding him so hard and frequently with the Kikoho blasts Cell can only yell out "ANGRY!" as he's getting hit. The second time when Goku uses Instant Transmission to save Tien and Piccolo from Cell causing a confused Cell to burst out "'''I have so many questions!'''"

-->'''Krillin:''' So, what you're saying is I have to get... close?

The second time when Goku uses Instant Transmission to save Tien and Piccolo from Cell causing a confused Cell to burst out "'''I have so many questions!'''"

* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Goku's halfway through explaining to Gohan how difficult it's going to be to fly towards Tien's location in time to save him from Cell before using Instant Transmission to get there instead. Gohan and Mr. Popo [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] this:

* HeroicRROD: Tien exhausts himself holding off Cell, but Goku extracts him before he is killed. It also comes with a DelayedReaction:

-->'''Krillin:''' Oh, I'm gonna get ''all up in that''.\\

->"''Yeah... well, you know what?! [[ClusterFBomb F**k power levels! F**k Super Saiyans!]] '''AND F**K YOU''''' '''''SHIN!''''' ''''' KIKŌHŌ!!'''''"

** Tien manages to give another one after he runs out of energy and Cell decides to finish him for costing Cell his prey.

* ConversationalTroping: Before trying to finish him off, Cell notes to Tien that repeatedly yelling "Kikōhō" was "a pretty sad choice of last words".
-->'''Cell:''' But to be fair, [[ImpliedDeathThreat it's far from the worst decision you've made today!]]\\
'''Tien:''' [[DefiantToTheEnd Ki…kō...]][[PrecisionFStrike f*ck yourself...!]]\\
'''Cell:''' Aw, see? That's the spirit.

* ConversationalTroping: Before trying to finish him off, Cell notes to Tien that repeatedly yelling "Kikōhō" was "[[FamousLastWords a pretty sad choice of last words]]".

* FamousLastWords: {{Discussed}} by Semi-Perfect Cell:
-->'''Cell:''' You know, if you want my personal opinion, "Kikōhō" is a pretty sad choice of last words. But to be fair, [[ImpliedDeathThreat it's far from the worst decision you've made today!]]\\
'''Tien:''' Kikō-f*ck yourself…!\\
'''Cell:''' Aw, see? That's the spirit!
