Fires an energy blast with Goku that wipes Super Perfect Cell from existence

Opposite him, facing Gero's monster from behind, Vegeta stretched his arms out in front. "Let's do this, Kakarott!"

'NO!' Cell cried inwardly, unable to even speak. 'NOT LIKE THIS!' His mind raced, his blood pounded twice as fast. He thought his forehead might explode for all his intense concentration, and yet he could do nothing, not even make the slightest budge!

The blue glow in front of him and the golden glow from behind were two attacks he knew all too well. This was the end, the final page of his story. After this there would be nothing, no more, not even the realization of nothing. It terrified him. Fear like Cell had never known, not even when facing his death against Vegeta, overwhelmed him.

'Damn it...Damnit! DAMN IT! DAAAAMMMN IIIIIITTT!'

"Farewell, Cell," Goku said soberly. "It's too bad it had to end this way, you were an incredible fighter." The Earth-raised Saiyan's last words, while gentle in tone, seemed nothing but another great insult to his perfect power. Behind him, the unchecked laughter of Vegeta only served as further humiliation in his final moments.

Here, at the end, Cell finally realized the shameful truth. Beyond any doubt, the one claim he'd held to his entire existence was proven to be nothing but the dreams of a mad scientist. He was not perfect. Perhaps he never was, perhaps it was a concept that didn't even exist. True perfection, if there is such a thing, can never be destroyed, can never lose. What became of Cell in that final moment was his greatest defeat, the final admittance of the truth.

'In the end, it seems,' he thought to himself, quiet and contemplative, '...I truly am nothing.'

"Super...Kame-Hame-HA!"

"Final Flash!"

Cell was instantly crushed, as if being obliterated between two exploding hypernovae, completely at the mercy of the blast and totally unable to defend himself. His reanimated corpse was ripped to shreds, each fiber of his being annihilated completely, gone from any realm of existence permanently. The explosion rocketed throughout Otherworld, blinding nearby onlookers, shaking the very heavens themselves, causing the clouds to rumble with thunder.
