Episode 179 - Free the Future

Episode 179 is called “Free the Future”. It is about Trunks and his return to the future. The first thing Trunks does is that he meets his mother at Capsule Corp. Trunks tells Future Bulma about Cell and the Cell Games and Goku’s sacrifice. Bulma was stunned when Trunks told the part of when Vegeta went berserk over him. Trunks said by and went to see the androids. In another part of town, Androids 17 and 18 (Dr. Gero still had Android 16 in his pod) were wreaking havoc. Android 18 was mad at Android 17 for the guy she thought was cute aka Krillin. She complains that he kills everything beautiful. While the Androids were playing a little bit of “Blast the earthlings”, Trunks arrived. Androids 17 and 18 were smirking at Trunks, remembering that Trunks tried to destroy the Androids in SS earlier, but he couldn’t. Trunks fought Android 18 and was weakining her by the second. Android 18 fired lots of blasts, but Trunks dodged them all and said, “This is for Gohan!” and fires a blast at her. Android 18 is destroyed and Trunks kills Android 17 with one blast. When Trunks returns to Capsule Corp. and was about to go into the past, Cell (in his first form) was sneaking behind him. Trunks tells Bulma to go inside and tells Cell all about him.Cell tells Trunks that he cannot destroy him, because he can’t destroy the androids. But Trunks told Cell he destroyed the androids, and Cell freaked out. They fought on a meadow and Cell was getting his butt kicked. When Cell powered up for a Kamehahmeha, Trunks fired a blast and killed Cell. In heaven, King Kai was building a house inside a tree. When Goku, Bubbles, and Gregory were finished playing a game, Goku accidentally knocked over the house. Goku said they should hit the road, and Goku, King Kai, Bubbles, and Gregory set off to the other world.

 ---------

In today’s episode, Trunks went back to his time (the future) and killed android 17&18 and Cell. But before doing so, he had some tea with his mom (Bulma) and told her how Vegeta went all out on Cell when Cell killed him. Bulma was surprised at this news because it was nothing like the Vegeta she knew. Then after Trunks beat Cell, it went to Gokou, King Kai, Bubbles, and Gregory. King Kai was building a house wile Bubbles (the monkey) and Gregory (the grasshopper) were trying to catch Gokou. But they just ran in to each other in the end. Gokou accidentally broke the house went he patted it. Gokou said sorry and suggested the go to the other world to meet new people. The episode ended with Gokou pushing King Kai forward, with Bubbles and Gregory following, down Snake Way to the Check in Station.

Rating: 9 ½ out of 10

This wasn’t as intense of an episode as some of the ones I’ve seen recently, but it was pretty good. Plus, it focused of Trunks, one of my favorite DBZ characters.

Anyway, here’s what happened: Trunks goes back to his own time and tells his mother, Bulma, about his adventure in the past. Then, an announcement comes over the radio saying that Androids 17 & 18 had destroyed an interstate. Trunks powers up into Super Sayin mode and flies off to fight them. With his improved powers, Trunks was able to block and dodge all of the androids attacks easily. He kicks them around for awhile, then blows them up.

Afterwards, Trunks dons the Sayin suit that Bulma made for him in the past and prepares to go back in time once more to tell the Z Fighters about his victory over the androids, but he knows that there’s one loose end he needs to tie up and that’s Cell. He knows that the monster is waiting to kill him and take his time machine, and this time he’s ready for him. In his imperfect form, Cell is no match for Trunks, even when he uses the Kamehameha wave. Trunks blows him up like he did the androids. Now, the future world is safe.

The episode ends with King Kai building a house in heaven while Goku plays around with Gregory and Bubbles. After Kai finishes the house, Goku tells him that it looks strong, but when he puts his hand on it, the house collapses. Goku then suggests that they all go visit the other world. King Kai agrees and the four of them pack up and head out. That’s basically all that happened.

This episode starts off by showing the chaotic future in which Trunks still lives. People are fleeing from the Androids, 17 and 18. The scene cuts and show Trunks finally returning home, and Bulma is  overjoyed to see him. Trunks tells his mother all that happened while he was in the past. Bulma is shocked at how Vegeta went all out when Trunks was killed. As the two settle down to some tea, a radio announcement says the two androids are attacking the city Trunks and Bulma are in.He arrives to the scene just in time to save an old man from the merciless android 17, who looked up when Trunks landed.Trunks goes SSJ2 and 18 goes for the attack. Trunks easily dodges the android’s blows, then punches her through a few buildings. 17 now joins the batlle, but Trunks easily dodges ths both of them.Trunks was enraged, he yelled out”THIS IS FOR YOU GOHAN!!” and destroyed 18 with a single hand! 17 was shocked at how Trunks beat 18, but he ws also clearly afraid. Trunks yelled,” YOU THINK  THIS IS ALL ABOUT YOU?!? WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE PEOPLE YOU KILLED!” and destroyed 17! Trunks was not yet ready to celebrate, because there was one last person to beat.................Cell.

As he was about to leave to tell everyone in the past about the androids, Trunks suddenly told Bulma to go inside. Bulma went inside, and Cell stepped out.Trunks blasted Cell away, and flew after him. Trunks went SSJ2, and proved the imperfect Cell to be no match for him.Cell attempted to absorb Trunks, butTrunks grabbed his tail, swung Cell around, and threw him inot the sky. Cell said it was time he destroyed Trunks and he said  “KA..ME..HA..ME..HA!” But Trunks had launched his own attack, and made Cell go boom, bam, bye-bye. As he looked up at the sky, he said “ Thank you father, Gohan, and especially you, Goku”

Hiya! This review is for:

Dragonball Z English Dubbed Episode 179-Free the Future

The episode begins with our heroes preparing for Trunks' departure in his
time machine. When Trunks says goodbye everyone is dressed up in "Sunday
Duds" kind of clothing. Then Trunks vanishes. Everyone is a little sad. We
see Trunks flying through the space-time continuum. When he arrives in his
timeline, we see Androids 17 and 18 attacking a city. They seem to be
pretending to be playing a little game. A huge crowd of innocent people is
running away. "It's a stampede! Looks like it's time for bonus points!", 17
exclaims. They both fire ki blasts at the crowd. The big crowd of people
runs away. Then 17 says, "Hey, check out the buildings! Whoever blows the
most wins!" He fires at the buildings repeatedly. "No fair! You have a head
start!", whines 18 as she starts firing, too. Then we see Trunks running
into his home. He tells his mother (Bulma) about some things that were
accomplished in the past. When she hears about how Vegeta tried to avenge
Trunks' brief state of death, she gets that dumb-founded,
"mouth-hanging-wide-open" look on her face. Then she snaps out of it when
they hear a news report about the Androids attacking. Trunks goes Super
Saiyan and blasts away.

     It cuts back to the Androids. They hear an old man's voice. 17 turns
around to see the father of a young man that he had killed. The old man had
a gun. 17 drew his own gun and was about to fire, saying, "Well, well! You
want a gun-fight, huh? (In a cowboy voice) Well then partner! Draw!" He is
about to shoot the man when Trunks comes along and stops 17. 18 says, "I've
had just about enough of you!" She attacks. Trunks comes in real close to
her and fires a huge ki blast in her face, screaming, "THIS IS FOR
GOHAN!!!!" 18 is dead. 17 gets pissed off and attacks Trunks, but Trunks
disposes of him in the same way. Then he saves the old man. The next day,
Trunks is about to leave for the Past when Cell appears. He is hiding in an
alley close by. Trunks knows Cell is there and Cell comes out. There is some
idle chit-chat and fly off to begin to fight. Trunks blocks every attack and
then disintegrates Cell with a simple ki-blast. Meanwhile, in the Past, up
in Heaven, King Kai finishes the house, only for Goku to accidentally knock
it over. Then they all decide to go on a road trip. This ends the episode.
