Saving Throw (父を救え!! 天をも焦がすトランクスの怒り Chichi o Sukue!! Ten omo Kogasu Torankusu no Ikari, lit. "Save Your Father!! Trunks' Fury, Which Scorches Even the Heavens") is the eleventh episode of the Perfect Cell Saga and the one hundred sixty-third overall episode in the uncut Dragon Ball Z series. The episode first aired on November 4, 1992. Its original American air date was November 6, 2000.
Summary
Future Trunks punching Cell
Vegeta lies unconscious after an intense battle with Cell, and Future Trunks unleashes his hidden powers to save his father's life. Concerned that Future Trunks could be going wild, Krillin calls out to him, however Future Trunks remains in control much to Krillin's relief and is given a Senzu Bean which he is to give to Vegeta. Future Trunks lands to the ground and walks toward Cell, after exchanging words the two begin fighting.
Cell punches Trunks
The two begin an intense fight, with Future Trunks now being a match for Cell. Meanwhile in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Goku asks Gohan to try and catch him. The two become Super Saiyan and spar briefly until Gohan does indeed catch Goku, impressing him but unfortunately wrecking a part of the sleeping quarters which they decide to clean up unless Mr. Popo gets mad at them. Back at the battle between Future Trunks and Cell, the tide appears to have moved in Cell's favour as he proceeds to overwhelm his opponent and knock Future Trunks down but this turns out to be a ruse as Future Trunks is just trying to get Cell away from Vegeta so that Krillin can recover him.
Krillin grabs Vegeta and takes him away but Cell reveals that he knew what Future Trunks was trying to do. Future Trunks then begins to power up once again as he prepares to fight Cell freely without his father in harm's way.

Differences from the manga
- The fight between Future Trunks and Cell is expanded on greatly. A key difference is that in the manga, Future Trunks with his Super Saiyan Third Grade never once hit Cell whereas in the anime, he hits him many times.
- Gohan trying to catch Goku while they are both Super Saiyan is exclusive to the anime.
