The artificial humans 17 and 18 who terrorized Earth in Season #4 of Dragon Ball Z were only a preliminary threat: Dr. Gero's ultimate creation, Cell, strikes in Season #5. A bio-entity created from genetic material taken from Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta, and Frieza, Cell arrives via the time capsule Bulma built for Trunks. (There are now two of them, somehow.) Although he defeats the merged Piccolo and Kami, Cell remains imprisoned in his "imperfect form," a sort of larval stage. Until he absorbs androids 17 and 18, he can't attain his ultimate power. Vegeta and Trunks train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber at Kami's palace, which enables them to undergo the equivalent of a year's heavy workouts at high gravity in one day. Transcending his powers as a Super Saiyan, Vegeta clobbers Cell. When Cell challenges Vegeta to fight his perfect form. Vegeta takes the bait and allows Cell to evolve. The perfect Cell proves so powerful, Trunks has to draw on untapped reserves of power to save Vegeta. Goku plays only a small role in Season #5: he spends the first episodes recovering from the heart virus, then waiting with Gohan for the Hyperbolic Chamber or training in it. One of best-loved stories in the Dragon Ball Z continuity the "Cell Saga" offers plenty of action, with characters punching each other through rock walls and destroying entire islands as they fight. But it ends on a weak note when, instead of killing Trunks, Cell challenges the Z Fighters to a martial arts tournament--the focus of Season #6. The paradoxes of the time travel story, including adult Trunks encountering himself as a baby, don't seem to bother the fans--or the writers. These 26 episodes could have easily fit on five discs or even four, and spreading them over six feels chintzy.(Rated TV PG. suitable for ages 8 and older: violence, tobacco use, ethnic stereotypes) --Charles Solomon

There putting out less episodes per set and on the same number of discs.
Looks like only 4 or 5 episodes will be on each disc for this set. Why not do a 4 disc set and make it cheaper? I bet the next set will have 3 episodes per disc. Great show though!

This season of DBZ brings us to the Perfect and Imperfect Cell Sagas. Overall, the product is as good as the four seasons before it. I was a little disappointed paying the same price as the other seasons though for what amounted to be six less episodes than the season before it was. Actually, each season seems to be getting shorter and shorter. I know it's because they're trying to stick them into seasons correctly and have it all fit with the season it's being released with... Still, it would have been nice to knock at least a couple bucks off the price. Anyway, I still enjoyed it, and it's well worth getting anyway.
 A whole disc with 3 episodes July 15, 2008

There are at least 2 discs that contain only 3 episodes, and another with only 4. This box set cost the most and had the least content.
