Chapter Summaries

Android 17 and Android 18 overwhelmed Goku, Vegeta, and the others, but Bulla suddenly struck Android 17 with tremendous force. Roland and Sephiria arrived afterward, followed by Luo Fei and Askari, leaving the Androids realizing they faced far stronger opponents than expected.

• Android 18 defeated Vegeta, while Android 17 battered Goku and the Androids decided to teach the Saiyans a lesson rather than kill them.

• Luo Fei and Askari appeared, and Android 16 warned the Androids that the two Super Saiyans were far stronger than Goku.

Sephiria swiftly defeated Android 16, Android 17, and Android 18 after they mistook the group for enemies and tried to escape. Roland then recognized the androids as his former disciples, and the confrontation ended with the group learning their identities and Sephiria apologizing for hitting Android 18 too hard.

Krillin and the other martial artists learned that the Androids were Roland’s disciples and no longer posed a threat to Earth, while Old Kami prepared to merge with Piccolo again over a future danger. Vegeta vowed to surpass the Androids, and Android 18 reunited with Roland and met Tights and Launch at his villa.

• At Roland’s villa, Tights examined Android 18 and asked whether she could have children, while Launch eased her embarrassment.

Android 18 explained how Dr. Gero captured and modified her and Lapis, and Roland used the Dragon Balls to remove the bombs from them and Android 16. Roland then reprimanded Luo Fei, Askari, and Bulla for traveling through time, warning that they had violated rules enforced by powerful gods.

• Android 18 told Sephiria and the others that Dr. Gero had controlled her and Lapis with a remote and implanted bombs in them, while Android 16 revealed that he also had a bomb.
• Roland said the Dragon Balls could remove the bombs, and Android 18 summoned Shenron to make that wish for herself and the others.
• After the bombs were removed, Roland urged Android 18, Lapis, and Android 16 to keep training, and they thanked him.
• Roland confronted Luo Fei, Askari, and Bulla for spending three years in Trunks's world, explaining that disrupting space-time with a Time Machine was forbidden by the gods.
• Trunks tried to defend them, but Roland warned that they were fortunate to have visited only a parallel space-time, and Sephiria told Askari she had nearly caused a disaster.

Sephiria warned Askari, Luo Fei, and Trunks about the dangers of altering time and the far greater powers hidden in Universe 7. After revealing that Whis had let their violation go, Roland announced that he and Sephiria had accepted a task to deal with several Time Machines on Earth.

• Sephiria explained that changing the timeline could create a parallel space-time or destroy the world, and warned that powerful gods could easily defeat them.
• Askari demonstrated her Super Saiyan 2 transformation, overwhelming everyone in the room until Roland suppressed her aura.
• Luo Fei revealed that he had also reached Super Saiyan 2 after training with Askari in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
• Sephiria warned that even Super Saiyan 3 would be no match for Beerus or the Angel of Universe 7, who had noticed the group’s actions but would not pursue them further.
• Roland told the group that he and Sephiria had accepted a task to deal with several Time Machines on Earth, leaving Askari and the others surprised.

Roland confirmed that another Time Machine had arrived on Earth and led everyone to investigate it. They discovered it had brought Android Cell from a parallel world, though Cell’s arrival left the danger ahead unresolved.

• Roland explained that Whis’s information meant another Time Machine had come to Earth, and said Bulma was investigating its likely location.
• While Roland trained Android 17 and Android 18, Bulma found an old Time Machine in the mountains of West Area 1050.
• Trunks identified the machine as his own, but its time coordinates showed it had come from a parallel world years ahead of his timeline.
• Askari found pieces of an eggshell, and the group searched the area until they discovered a cicada-like shell.
• Roland identified the creature as Android Cell and explained that Cell could evolve by absorbing Android 17 and Android 18, making Android 18’s expression turn cold.

Roland explained Cell’s threat to Android 17 and Android 18, while Piccolo fused with Old Kami and Goku recruited Vegeta to train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. At Roland’s home, Trunks prepared to grow stronger before Cell’s attack, and Roland offered to take the androids and others somewhere they could train.

• Roland told Android 17 and Android 18 that Cell could become stronger than them by absorbing life energy, and that only Android 16 could currently contend with him.
• Piccolo fused with Old Kami, gaining his memories and power, while Vegeta sensed Piccolo’s increased strength and grew frustrated.
• Goku found Vegeta and proposed that they train together in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to surpass Super Saiyan.
• Roland brought the group home after securing the Time Machine, and Luo Fei warned Trunks that Cell would target the machine in the future.
• Android 18 asked Roland how she and Android 17 could become stronger quickly, and he offered to take them and others to a place to train.

Roland planned to train his family and allies in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, but Goku and Vegeta were already using it, while Piccolo fused with Old Kami and went to hunt Cell. Cell drained a town’s residents to recover his strength, escaped before Piccolo arrived, and remained intent on finding Android 17 and Android 18.

• Roland explained that someone with enough power could break out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and Askari agreed to train there until she grew up.
• Roland decided the group would go to Kami’s Lookout the next day, where they learned Goku and Vegeta were already using the chamber.
• Chi-Chi told Roland that Old Kami had fused with Piccolo, who had left to search for Cell.
• Cell drained a man and other townspeople to replenish his energy, planning to absorb Android 17 and Android 18 to reach his perfect form.
• Cell sensed Piccolo approaching, burrowed underground to escape, and Piccolo arrived to find the town’s victims reduced to skin.

Cell searched for Dr. Gero’s Arctic base so he could find his other self, but discovered that the base was missing and decided to restore his strength by absorbing martial artists. Meanwhile, Android 21 awakened beneath the former Red Ribbon Army headquarters, and a Capsule Corporation team investigated a machine exposed by an earthquake in the Muscle Tower Region.

• Piccolo searched a lifeless town for Cell, then flew away after finding no trace of his Ki.
• Cell traveled to the Arctic Circle seeking Dr. Gero’s base and his other self, but found no sign that the base had ever been built there.
• Cell concluded that Android 17 and Android 18 still existed and flew toward a nearby town to absorb energy and regain his strength.
• Android 21 awakened in a laboratory beneath the former Red Ribbon Army headquarters, learned about his mission to kill Goku and the other androids, and vowed to kill everyone on Earth.
• An earthquake split a glacier in the Muscle Tower Region and exposed a machine bearing the Capsule Corporation logo, prompting the company to send an investigation team.

Bulma investigated a second Time Machine found in the Muscle Tower Region and brought it to Kami's Lookout, where it joined the machines found earlier and brought by Trunks. Roland recognized that its arrival matched Cell's era, but the identity of its passenger remained unknown, so Suno arranged a search for clues.

• Capsule Corporation researchers discovered a frozen Time Machine in the Muscle Tower Region and contacted Bulma.
• Bulma opened the machine, found it had arrived two years earlier, and removed an exhausted gray-white crystal from its controls.
• Sephiria brought Bulma to Kami's Lookout, where she showed Roland and the others the newly found Time Machine alongside the one from the West 1050 Region and Trunks's machine.
• Roland said Cell was a likely passenger in the new machine, though he could not confirm who had arrived.
• Bulma gave Roland the crystal, and he identified it as the Time Machine's depleted power source.
• Suno agreed to have Android 8 and others search the Muscle Tower Region for further clues.

After Goku and Vegeta emerged from a year of training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Roland told them about Cell and prepared to train a larger group. Roland forced the chamber door open so eight people could enter, then organized their training inside.

• Goku and Vegeta left the Hyperbolic Time Chamber as Super Saiyan Full Power fighters, and Roland warned them that Perfect Cell could still be stronger.
• Roland told Goku and Vegeta that Cell was hiding on Earth, while Piccolo continued searching for him and Suno investigated the discovered Time Machines.
• Roland led Sephiria, Askari, Luo Fei, Android 17, Android 18, Bulla, Trunks, and others to the chamber, then held its door open so they could all enter.
• Roland entered the chamber after the group, and the door vanished, sealing them inside its vast white space.
• Sephiria paired Askari with Luo Fei, Android 17 with Android 18, and Bulla with Trunks for sparring, then Roland began leading the group’s training.

Roland trained the androids and Saiyan youths in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and two years of practice greatly strengthened them. Askari, now grown, joked about inheriting Planet Sadala’s throne, but Sephiria responded by grabbing her ear and ordering her to train.

• Roland defeated Android 17 and Android 18 in sparring and advised them to keep developing their power.
• Roland began training Trunks and Bulla, using his guidance to direct everyone’s progress.
• After two years, Sephiria had advanced greatly, Luo Fei and Askari had reached a higher level of Super Saiyan 2, and Bulla and Trunks had reached Super Saiyan Full Power.
• Roland estimated that Android 17 and Android 18 had grown strong enough to make Cell’s attempt to absorb them impossible.
• Askari hugged Roland and asked whether she could inherit the throne because she had grown up.
• Sephiria caught Askari joking about taking the throne, grabbed her ear, and ordered her to train with her.

Askari fought Sephiria while Trunks learned that future threats would include Dabura and Majin Buu, far beyond the Androids. The chapter ended with Askari exhausted after the fight and changing into clothes Sephiria had brought for her.

• Askari followed Sephiria to an open space, where they transformed into Super Saiyan 2 and began fighting.
• Trunks watched the battle as Luo Fei explained that Sephiria's power approached Super Saiyan 3.
• Roland warned Trunks that a future Demon Realm enemy would require strength on Sephiria's level to overcome.
• Roland told the others that their world would face the same threats and urged them to train.
• Sephiria defeated Askari, told everyone to turn around, and gave her a change of clothes.

Roland and the others completed two years of training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, then escaped after Roland punched and tore open a hole in its space. Back at Kami's Lookout, they discovered an Android resembling King Cold whose body contained Piccolo's Ki, and Trunks suspected he had arrived in the third Time Machine.

• Roland warned Askari that Majin Buu's magic and near-immortality made him dangerous, while Luo Fei encouraged Trunks to seek help from Supreme Kai in his future.
• Bulla asked to leave the Hyperbolic Time Chamber as its two-year cycle ended, and Roland agreed that their training goals had mostly been achieved.
• Roland punched a hole through the chamber's space, widened it with his hands, and directed everyone to pass through before he followed.
• Chi-Chi told Roland that Cell had evaded their observation, then showed the group a purple figure in a town below Kami's Lookout.
• Roland identified the figure as an Android with King Cold's appearance and Piccolo's Ki, prompting Trunks to wonder if it was the traveler from the third Time Machine.

Trunks went to confront Android King Cold while Roland arranged for Android 17 and Android 18 to lure Cell out and revived Earth's Dragon Balls. The chapter left Android 17, Android 18, and Android 16 traveling as bait while King Cold appeared near Goku, Vegeta, and Trunks.

• Trunks volunteered to confront King Cold, and Roland let him go while the others watched from Kami's Lookout.
• Android 17 and Android 18 planned to lure Cell by disguising their energy, and Roland sent Askari to support them with Instant Transmission.
• Roland asked Dende to revive Earth's Dragon Balls, and Dende restored Shenron so the seven Dragon Balls scattered across the world.
• Android 17, Android 18, and Android 16 drove around openly to attract Cell, while Android 18 shopped to make their outing seem natural.
• Android 16 detected Goku, Vegeta, and Trunks near an unfamiliar energy, and Android 18 identified it as King Cold's.

Android 17 and Android 18 refused to help Goku and the others, while Roland watched Vegeta, Goku, and Trunks struggle against King Cold, who revealed himself as Android 21. Roland decided to let them learn a lesson but promised Bulla their lives would not be in danger.

• Android 17 and Android 18 sensed King Cold's rapidly increasing power but chose not to go support Goku and the others.
• Chi-Chi blamed Vegeta for stopping Trunks from attacking, while Roland assessed King Cold's transformed strength.
• Goku and Vegeta ran low on energy as King Cold remained strong, and Trunks angrily blamed Vegeta for preventing him from acting sooner.
• King Cold revealed that his name was Android 21 and threatened to torture Goku, Vegeta, and Trunks.
• Roland refused Suno's suggestion to rescue them immediately, but reassured Bulla that he would not let her father die.

Sephiria killed Android 21 and the group recovered at Kami’s Lookout, while Vegeta remained unapologetic about the trouble he caused. Cell, shaken by Sephiria’s immense power, pursued Androids 17 and 18 and finally confronted them.

• Sephiria left Kami’s Lookout to confront Android 21, while Goku, Vegeta, and Trunks returned exhausted and injured.
• Chi-Chi treated the three with Senzu Beans and scolded Goku for letting his excitement prolong the fight; Vegeta walked away to train without apologizing, and Trunks apologized for him.
• Sephiria killed Android 21 with a single slap, stunning everyone who sensed her power.
• Roland considered the android’s origins and thought of Emma, then turned his attention to Cell and Android 18’s group.
• Cell resolved to absorb Androids 17 and 18 after sensing Sephiria’s power, then intercepted their truck and announced that he had finally found them.

Cell confronted Android 17 and Android 18, expecting to absorb them and achieve his perfect form, but their strength overwhelmed him. After his Solar Flare failed to let him absorb Android 17, 17 tore off his tail and prepared to kill him.

• Cell revealed that he had come from the future after killing Trunks and stealing his Time Machine so he could absorb Android 17 and Android 18.
• Android 18 attacked Cell and quickly overwhelmed him, then sent him flying into Android 17's powerful kick.
• Cell realized that both Androids were far stronger than he expected and despaired over his inability to absorb them.
• Android 18 prepared to finish Cell, but he used Solar Flare to blind the Androids and tried to absorb Android 17.
• Android 17 resisted the absorption, tore off Cell's tail, and declared that he would kill Cell himself.

Android 17 defeated and killed Cell before Cell could reach his Perfect Form. After Piccolo arrived and left, Android 17, Android 18, and Android 16 headed to West City to ask Tights for money, while an unknown green figure emerged from underground near Cell’s remains.

• Cell panicked when he realized Android 17 was too powerful, but Android 17 beat him brutally while Android 18 watched.
• Cell’s regeneration drained his energy, and Android 17 tore off his wings and battered him until he could barely fight.
• Cell launched a final energy attack and tried to flee, but Android 17 sliced him into tiny pieces and Android 18 and Android 16 confirmed he was dead.
• Piccolo arrived after the battle, learned that Cell had been killed, and flew away after speaking with Android 17 and the others.
• Android 18 decided they should visit West City to ask Tights for money, so Android 17, Android 18, and Android 16 drove there together.
• After they left, a green figure emerged from underground and eyed Cell’s remains greedily.

Trunks returned to his future after Roland warned him to prepare for Cell and the threats beyond, while Vegeta later left Earth to train in space. As Roland and his family prepared to depart, a time-traveling Son Gohan arrived to warn that Super Perfect Cell had come to their world.

• Roland urged Trunks to train for Super Saiyan 2 and beware of Cell, and Trunks promised to protect his world from future threats.
• The group saw Trunks off, and Krillin announced that he was marrying Ranfan.
• Vegeta left Earth in a spaceship after promising Goku that he would return and erase his shame.
• After attending Krillin and Ranfan's wedding, Roland prepared to leave Earth with his family and put away the remaining Time Machines.
• A young Son Gohan arrived in a Time Machine and told Tights that Super Perfect Cell had reached their world.
• Tights said her husband was stronger than Goku and insisted that Son Gohan alert him.
