"Saving Throw" (父ちちを救すくえ!! 天てんをも焦こがすトランクスの怒いかり, Chichi o Sukue!! Ten o mo 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. This episode first aired in Japan on November 4, 1992. Its original American airdate was November 6, 2000.

Summary

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.

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.

Major Events

Future Trunks ascends to Super Saiyan Third Grade and battles Cell.

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.

Trivia

The Funimation title of this episode is a reference to the role-playing games in which a player can roll a set of dice to try and negate damage taken or status ailments received. This is known as a "saving throw".
There seems to be a minor inconsistency in regards to Goku and Gohan's Super Saiyan forms in this episode. While still serious-looking more than natural, their faces and hair are closer to that of a Super Saiyan Full Power. It is not until the next episode that Goku suggests they stay Super Saiyans until it "feels natural" to them.
Just before fighting Trunks, Cell refers to Saiyans as being like cockroaches. Oddly enough, Cell himself has a physical composition similar to that of a bug.

 ==Summary==
 [[File:163 5.jpg|thumb|left|Future Trunks punching Cell]]
+[[Vegeta]] lies unconscious after an intense battle with [[Cell]], and [[Future Trunks]] unleashes his [[Super Saiyan Third Grade|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.
-[[Vegeta]] lies unconscious after an intense battle with [[Cell]], and [[Future Trunks]] unleashes his [[Ultra Super Saiyan|hidden powers]] to save his father's life. [[Krillin]] then watches Ultra Super Saiyan Future Trunks beat up Cell. Cell is getting outclassed in everyway. With [[Goku]] and [[Gohan]] still training in the [[Hyperbolic Time Chamber]] and the [[Z Fighters|other fighters]] clearly out-leagued, Future Trunks is the only person standing in the evil [[Android]]'s way. Cell says "Very good Trunks, I see that you have learned your fathers moves. Now let me show you how to use them properly!" Then Trunks goes in for a punch at Cell but Cell dodges it. Then he punches Future Trunks and kicks him to the ground. When Cell is just about to knock him out, Future Trunks gets out of the way, but Cell moves faster, reaches Future Trunks, and kicks him again. Future Trunks was just bluffing the whole time because when Cell is not looking he looks at Krillin and gives him a signal that says to take [[Vegeta]] away from the battle. Then Trunks gets up, and he and Cell start throwing punches at each other. After a while they start talking to each other. After that Trunks starts to power up and the scene changes to [[Kami's Lookout]]. [[Piccolo]] is talking about how Trunks is gone beyond the power of a [[Super Saiyan]]. The episode ends when it shows Trunks and Cell looking at each other.

It is not until the [[The Cell Games|next episode]] that Goku suggests they stay Super Saiyans until it "feels natural" to them. (however, they are training in the hyperbolic time chamber, meaning outside a while passed before we could see goku suggestions, inside the Chamber it could have been a few seconds, so eventho an episode passed before goku mentioned that fact, it literrally could have been seconds after the scene from the episode before since the time difference between the hyperbolic time chamber and the outside world (edited by michaelkelso@live.nl)
