EVO competitors recreate iconic Dragon Ball Z moment with audience Dexerto

On By Garmin Philip

Two EVO competitors managed to recreate an iconic moment from Dragon Ball Z and even got the audience involved during the DBFZ tournament.

The Dragon Ball series has been around since the 1980s, and its fanbase remains very active to this day. Dragon Ball Z, the series that propelled Dragon Ball to be one of the most popular series in the world, has its fair share of iconic moments.

Of those moments, Cell’s fight with Goku’s son Gohan is among those that have been remembered by fans for decades.

Pitching Cell and Gohan against each other on a given map in DBFZ will trigger a cutscene in the game that recreates the beginning of these two characters’ epic clash.

The audience gets involved with this scene and screams along with the characters, something that has been called “Cell Yell”.

For those who don’t know, Cell has fallen out of favor as more and more fighters have been included in DBFZ, but Joan ‘Shanks’ Namay, the player who locked Cell, was determined to make this moment happen.

He could be seen reaching out to his opponent, Eric ‘LegendaryyPred’ Bonilla, to make sure the two of them could make this moment a reality for the audience.

Until one of the competitors accidentally skipped the scene. So, they went to great lengths to remake the game and give it another chance.

What followed was a scream that shook the area, a scream that was almost louder than the characters in the game.

The commentators came together to pump up the audience, quoting the scene themselves and bringing some of that hype back to the broadcast.

Unfortunately for Shanks, choosing Cell didn’t work out. Whether or not the outcome would have been different if he had chosen a different team composition is hard to say, but Shanks was determined to unite the audience through this iconic scene.

In a tweet from Shanks where he was considering playing Cell to kick off this moment, Shanks said “it might be our last chance to scream together.”

Shanks may not have won this set, but his sportsmanship and love for the crowd gave us one of the best moments of EVO 2022.
