I honestly don't get why gohan had to be the one to beat cell. It didn't make sense as far as what dragon ball z had been about from the beginning up to the fights with frieza. All through the battles with the saiyans on earth and the battles on namek, it was the near death beat downs that bumped goku's and vegeta's powers over the top so they could win against frieza's top forces. During the android and cell episodes these repeated beat downs all the sudden stop having anything to do with heightening the saiyan's powers. Vegeta, trunks, and goku go through near death experiences in fighting the androids as well as goku's heart thing, and they continue to be active meanwhile gohan is getting told to do homework for the most part. That whole period the most strenuous thing gohan did was carry yajirobi (which he had difficulty with) until the hyperbolic time chamber. Sad to say, after gohan beat cell it was downhill for dragon ball z. No more good episodes afterwards, but up until that time the show was amazing. Goku's the underdog of everything, but I would've liked seeing vegeta beat cell.
