Dragon Ball Z Season 1 quotes

They keep on cheating with these second grade illusions. They clearly have no respect for the martial arts.

Let's get a professional opinion from Earth's greatest fighter. What do you think of this action packed match so far, Mr. Satan?

Uh...not bad. Ha ha ha ha ha.

Uh, thanks. Mr. Satan, ladies and gentlemen...a man of few words but with large fists.

[after Cell splits into four separate bodies and attacks Goku at the same time] This is the best magic trick I've ever seen.

There's no way you can beat me with your stolen fighting techniques. Now, give up.

Cell

Hmph. No, not yet. It's over when I say it's over.

[after Goku dodges a Kamehameha from Cell] You know, that blast would've completely destroyed the Earth if I hadn't flown up and diverted it.

Cell

Yeah, maybe so. But I knew you would do something heroic to save it.

Heh heh. Oh I see, so you were counting on me.

Cell

Well don't get the wrong idea. I don't care one bit about this planet or its filthy people. But without it, there'd be no one to kill!

[about Goku and Cell] There they are! They're right there in the ring. [Pointing to a crack on the ground] They're hiding in that broken part over there. It's another one of their tricks.

Dende

There's trouble down there but I can't seem to focus on it. My mind is too clouded.

Dende, you sure remind me of Kami. He used to stand in that very same spot as he tried to make sense of the Earth.

Dende

Did he really?

Oh yes. [pause] There's no need to be upset. Like the former guardians before you, it will take some time before you are comfortable with your new role as guardian of the Earth. Just relax, Dende. Stop doubting your own abilities and start listening with your mind. Calm your thoughts. Now, what do you see?

Dende

The tournament is still on. It's a fierce battle.

See, you did it.

Dende

Yes. Thank you Mister Popo. I know I'll never be able to replace Kami but I will try my best. I promise. I just wish there was something more that I could do. I feel so helpless. This tournament will decide the fate of the Earth and all I can do for now is watch and leave it to Goku. I may be this planet's guardian, but he is its hero.

It is time for all of you to evacuate...right now.

I don't think so, pal. This show must go on. Besides, we still have to let our champion have his shot at Cell.

Cell

Now the whole desert is our ring. Let's say the last one standing wins the game.

I see. So it's a fight to the finish.

Cell

Would you have it any other way?

No, I guess not.

[to Gregory and Bubbles] Say, would either of you care to make a wager on this tournament?

Cell has come out swinging and the unknown challenger seems to be using his face to block. That's gotta hurt.

[after Hercule slams face first into a boulder and gets stuck] Maestro, are you okay? Shall I give you a hand?

[while stuck in the boulder] Uh, no. No problem here. Just gettin' warmed up, that's all.

What a man! Hercule, you are something else getting warmed up for battle like that! So that's how you do it! That's how you keep in such great shape!

[still stuck] You know me...always ready for action.

Cell

Are you feeling tired, Goku? You've lost a lot of strength. Heh heh heh. Why don't you take a breather? Perhaps one of those senzu beans would help you.

Piccolo

[after Trunks suggests that Goku take a senzu bean] We will wait.

Trunks

We'll wait for what? He needs a senzu bean!

Vegeta

Quiet, boy! Where is your honor!? Like all pure-blooded Saiyans, Kakarot would rather die fighting than win with one of those disgraceful senzu beans as his crutch! Kakarot trained in the hyperbolic time chamber just as we did! Now let's see what he can do!

Trunks

No, we can't. Goku doesn't have the strength. Don't you see what will happen if he keeps going like this?

Vegeta

If this goes on...then he will die.

Trunks

Uh!

Tien

Uh!

Yamcha

Uh!

Vegeta

But, that will be his decision. It is painfully clear at this point that no one among this group is stronger than Kakarot is. Not even myself. So he deserves to have the fight of a true warrior. And that means...to the death!

Trunks

While we all just stand here and watch? I won't be part of it!

Vegeta

Aren't you the one who has never stopped talking about how great a hero Kakarot is? If you have so much faith in him, then wait and see what he will do.

Cell

[to Goku] I can feel your power slipping away, Goku. I don't think you can last much longer. Heh heh heh heh. You know it's hardly worth my effort to finish you off now, but I wouldn't want to disappoint the television audience because I know they want to see a real champion. The next battle we engage in will be your last, Goku.
