First telecast in Japan in 1992 (and in America on October 23, 2000), "Sacrifice" marks the end of Dragon Ball Z's "Imperfect Cell Saga." Defying the wishes of the Z-Fighters, Tien does battle against the voracious energy-absorbing Cell. Alas, Tien grows weaker with each blow, while Cell only becomes stronger. The Z-Team, gathered at Master Roshi's house, are aware of what is happening to Tien, but circumstances dictate that they stay out of the fight. Meanwhile, Vegeta and Trunks, preparing for the final offensive against Cell, complete their super-accelerated training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
