Dragon Ball Z Anime Quiz | Episodes 145–154: Pursuing Cell and the Hyperbolic Time Chamber

1 / 100.0s

Problem 1

After learning Cell's origins, Krillin and Trunks dealt with another threat developing in Dr. Gero's laboratory, separate from the Cell already active in their present.

Which combination correctly describes what they did in the laboratory and the countermeasure that followed in Episode 145?

View explanation

Krillin and Trunks found larval Cell in the laboratory and destroyed it along with the building. This did not erase the Cell already active in the present. They also recovered Android 17's blueprints, which Bulma used to investigate a separate way to counter the Androids.

Problem 2

While Cell attacked the people of Basil Town and Krillin faced danger, a change occurred at Kame House, where Goku had been unconscious with the heart virus.

What new goal did Goku set after awakening?

View explanation

After recovering from the heart virus, Goku concluded that the current Super Saiyan level was insufficient and resolved to surpass it. Rather than challenge Cell immediately after waking, he chose to pursue greater power, leading to the next training plan.

Problem 3

To gain extensive training within a short period outside, Goku's group decided to use a special room at the Lookout.

Which option correctly identifies the Hyperbolic Time Chamber's time difference and the four fighters who chose to train there?

View explanation

Approximately one year passes inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber while one day passes outside. Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, and Trunks chose to use it. This did not mean all four entered together; the plan used separate pairs to exploit the limited outside time.

Problem 4

When Androids 16, 17, and 18 came to Kame House looking for Goku, the reunited Piccolo moved the battle elsewhere and fought Android 17. That battle also created another danger.

Which option correctly links Piccolo's choice of battlefield with its unintended consequence?

View explanation

Piccolo drew the Androids to an uninhabited island to limit collateral damage and fought Android 17 there. However, releasing such tremendous power allowed Cell, who was searching for the Androids, to sense the battle. Piccolo did not intend to reveal their location.

Problem 5

Piccolo and Android 17 initially fought on nearly equal terms. At the same time, Bulma completed a countermeasure based on Android 17's blueprints.

Which statement correctly summarizes the Episode 149 battle and Bulma's countermeasure?

View explanation

Piccolo's living body consumed stamina whenever he used his power, while Android 17 did not tire, giving the Android an increasing advantage over time. Bulma used Android 17's blueprints to build an emergency shutdown controller for the Androids, not a device that controlled Cell or time travel.

Problem 6

Cell reached the battlefield where Android 17 and Piccolo were fighting. Finding both Androids served a purpose beyond simply engaging them in combat.

Why did Cell attack Androids 17 and 18?

View explanation

Cell intended to absorb Androids 17 and 18 into his body and thereby reach his perfect form. This was a different stage of his plan from draining ordinary people's bio-energy. Piccolo tried to prevent that transformation, but his attacks could not damage the strengthened Cell.

Problem 7

After defeating Piccolo, Cell moved to absorb Android 17 with his tail. Android 16, who had previously avoided active combat, changed his behavior at that moment.

What directly caused Android 16 to fight Cell?

View explanation

Android 16 had shown little desire to fight, but he stood up to stop Cell when Android 17 was about to be absorbed. The immediate trigger was protecting his companion from Cell, not finding Goku or receiving an order from Bulma.

Problem 8

Android 16 displayed enough power to contend with Cell. That hope collapsed when Cell exploited a brief opening in the battle.

How did the battle turn decisively in Cell's favor in Episode 152?

View explanation

Android 16's Hell's Flash struck Cell and created hope that he could fight on equal terms. Cell later exploited an opening to absorb Android 17 and transform into a stronger state. Hell's Flash did not itself cause the absorption; the reversal came when the advantage could not be maintained.

Problem 9

After absorbing Android 17, Cell pursued Androids 16 and 18. Tien repeatedly used an attack that endangered his own life to create time for them to escape.

Which option correctly describes Tien's delaying action and the rescue that followed?

View explanation

Tien repeatedly fired the Neo Tri-Beam not to defeat Cell, but to hold him back long enough for Androids 16 and 18 to escape. After Tien collapsed from exhaustion and Cell prepared to finish him, Goku arrived through Instant Transmission. The tactic's objective was time, not victory.

Problem 10

The first pair finished training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, making it time to hand the room over to the next pair. On Earth, Cell continued searching for Androids 16 and 18.

Which option correctly describes the change of training pairs and their actions in Episode 154?

View explanation

Vegeta and Trunks were the first pair to complete their training and departed the Lookout to defeat Cell. Goku and Gohan then prepared to begin their own training. The four fighters did not finish together; the two parent-and-child pairs used the room in sequence.
