I like to think of his three forms taking in characteristics of the most dominant Cells. Imperfect Cell: Resembles Piccolo, is calculating and intelligent. Semi perfect cell: Resembles Vegeta, gains an ego and uses the Big Bang attack Perfect cell: Resembles Goku, wants a challenge and so he creates the Cell games
Piccolo: I’m not strung enough to fight you yet....so I’m going to runaway until I can get stronger and assure your defeat Vegeta: I can take you all on I’m better than all-never mind mercy frieza! Goku: I’m gonna beat you. And when I don’t, I’m gonna almost die and then beat you.
I would say imperfect cell has the dominant cells of the none alien Z Fighters besides Piccolo and whatever the hell is used as a common ancestor base. semi perfect start of traits from the Frieza Clan and Saiyan cells largely because his appearance is similar to that of second and third form Frieza what is attitude is a cross between Vegeta's and frieza's. Perfect cells prominently Saiyan based with bit's Frieza Clan mentally he's a cross between Piccolo and Frieza with Goku and Frieza is arrogance. I'd wager it was a 45% Frieza Clan, 45% Saiyan, 5% namekian and 5% other
The arc preceding Cell's first appearance is one of the best things Toriyama ever did, it reads like a horror mystery and makes his reveal so fucking good
The android saga and cell saga had the peak of DBZ's dialogue, fights, cool power ups and general story. Like nearly every episode had something awesome.
To me it applies more to the Frieza arc. First of all, incredibly great story (last standing Saiyan becoming this legendary SSJ and taking revenge on an evil emperor on behalf of his men, parents, home planet, his friends and even his greatest enemy, all destroyed by the same enemy. Secondly, the dramatic and emotional weight - Vegeta being humiliated, tortured and killed by Frieza really hits in the feels. The saddest sequence in the whole DBZ in my opinion. The Cell arc is second best.
I think Cell potential is so underrated with his saiyan dna and frieza dna if he trained he has potential to be so strong plus he gets power boost from near death experiences.
Cell was as arrogant as Vegeta and evil as Frieza and his father King Cold and had the regenerative powers of Piccolo and his mind of battle also Goku and the rest of the Saiyans thirst for stronger opponents and to grow stronger after every time he is killed or harmed
To this day cells first appearance in series gives me chills. Everything leading up to it felt like you were watching some horror movie being played out in front you. I consider that the best introduction to any character in the franchise.
Cell is my favorite villian in the Dragonball series especially in his perfect form.hopefully they can bring him back and put him in the next Dragonball super soon.
Madwestboy Cell was toying with him and didn’t dodge on purpose. Even after losing his arm and part of his torso he regrew it and was just as smug. He then went on to wreck Vegeta and hurt not only his body but his pride
Super Golden Cell, a combination of super saiyan and golden form for cell. That would be pretty cool. However, I want new characters that are as good as or better than Z's villians
I love how Cell and Goku are very similar; for example, they were both able to reproduce a power after experiencing it only once. (Goku with God Ki and Cell with his perfect form) Even after the power source left them, they could still tap into it. Cell is very Saiyan-like which is why I think he was a Super Saiyan... And I often like to think of perfect Cell as an evil Goku... Someone also noted that the forms of Cell mirror the fighters he faces Piccolo, Vegeta, Goku, Gohan in that order which is also true in a way.
I think cell has super saiyan with a boost from frieza and piccolos cells, think about it he used a similar power up and was somehow way stronger than a super saiyan i think it's because his transformation was amplified by frieza and piccolos cells.
A lot of people forget that Frieza at the time would get *BUFF* when he went full power as well, which could in part explain Cell getting *BUFF* at full power!
I don't really think so, the transformation looked like it was going to transform all the way but stopped halfway to perfect. I don't think it would've made much difference other than the power boost because 17 was a little stronger than 18. That's my take on it, but who knows i could be wrong.
who knows maybe if he absorbs 18 first he may instead of sexually ambiguous bug man bay start looking like a bug woman then full blown woman..... if you know what i mean :)
I never understood why they call cell an android since he was clearly cultivated from cells of other fighters essentially being organic in nature, he was created as an embryo and matured like any other living creature, I have my doubts as to whether Toriyama even knows what an “android” actually is.
my most favorite form of the three is his imperfect form, the mystery behind all the people from ginger and nicky town disappearing, the ominous vibe , an unknown threat literally drinking people was really cool
Cell wasn't kidding when he said he couldn't fit in the time machine. Imperfect Cell stands a little over 7 feet tall. Future Trunks stands at 5 feet 7 inches.
@@darthrevan454 Those are joke transformations to make fun on a lot of DB fans' fanfics and OCs. OP is referring to things like "Semi-Perfect Cell", "Super Buu", etcetera.
Cell's power was actually underestimated, he only lost because he was getting attacked by more than one a fighter during the blast. Vegeta helped Gohan to be able to defeat Cell otherwise Cell had them all. He lost by teamwork and being too arrogant. Regardless he is one of the best villains in Dragonball history and my favorite! He deserved a better fate.
You forgot to mention that first form Cell was way inferior to Piccolo, but after sucking up more humans he was way stronger than Piccolo. I think it is very important.
True... i mean Gohan was stronger but not by that much as Geekdom claims. Gohans power was cut due his injuries. Vegeta's blast distracted/injured/crippled Cell which led to Gohan overpower him. If Gohan was really as powerful as Geekdom101 claims he could have overpowered Cell without Vegeta having to distract/cripple him.
Also if gohan was actually stronger than him then cell crippling his arm with a blast kinda puts a damper on that thought process...cell pretty much lost because of his hubris just like he did with vegeta, and vegeta was the one that made him mess up against gohan
Next video "When Cell comes back ... in DBS 2... He will beat everyone... when he finds out that.... he needs to... ... ..................... get rid of... *the sayian DNA* so he will become... PERFECTER CELL.
I personally like how Cell’s voice actor Dameon Clarke changes his voice with each transformation. Perfect Cell’s my favorite, and Semi-Perfect (2nd Form) Cell’s my... well, second, and Imperfect (1st Form) Cell is last.
Cell has some nice forms. I like Cell's first form and his perfect form. That includes Cell's Cell Junior kids. One of them would actually have been female.
My first exposure to DBZ, after hearing about Cell and the androids from my friend (I pictured the androids to look like blocky robots haha), was the dubbed episode 'Android Explosion' during the Cell Games. And I LOVED it, I thought perfect Cell was freaking awesome and from there I was hooked!
I get the feeling that the whole "Cell not fitting in the time machine" thing had something to do with the large stiff wing things and long thick tail instead of his height (not to mention the large head crest as well), i can imagine that those wings and tail make it impossible for him to sit on anything that has a back to it and the time machines seat doesn't seem to have any space behind it to "drape" his wings over, it may sound like a half-ass excuse but it also kind of makes sense, his "body extensions?" made him not quite fit so he had to compress by devolving. that's my theory anyway.
He was called "Power-Weighted" in Budokai 1 because his final transformation is supposed to be when he gets all buff and pissed off. For whatever reason, the model only changes in the story mode fight against him, but has no difference with regular Perfect Cell's one when used by the player. A similar issue occurs where Final Form Freeza's model is the same as his 100% powered up state when used by the player, with the leaner build being relegated to only story mode as well.
The way I've understood cell's transformations is, he ALWAYS has the data in his DNA for his perfect form, but that like super saiyan 3 and some other transformations, it has a TREMENDOUS energy requirement, and that all he gets from absorbing the androids is their Infinite Engines, and that TWO engines that can give their host infinite stamina are required before his body can actually achieve and maintain his perfect form. The fact that he is then able to re-achieve his perfect form, but seems to get even stronger even after self destruction, is because of that Zenkai boost. He gets so much stronger from surviving that, that he finally has the energy to maintain that form himself, even without the engines. That's of course not quite how its presented in the lore, buuuuuuuuut the explanation given for these sorts of things is often a little lacking, and it requires some lateral thinking to really figure it out. This also makes me realize, if Bulma did to Goku what Giro did to the androids, he'd have essentially no limit to how long he can maintain SSJ3
Imperfect (1st form) Cell is my favorite DBZ character and was what got me into it back in 2000. Not much of a fan anymore, but I still love that form!
I thought it was stated that Super Perfect Cell was stronger than “teen” Gohan, but because everyone was helping him, Gohan was able to get the W, despite being slightly weaker and injured
I might be wrong Geekdom101, but I always thought the power weighed form in budokai 1 was the form that cell took when he bulked up his muscles in his fight with super saiyan 2 Gohan.
His hand was damaged but at the same time you could say it took constant efforts of the entire Z-squad including a full power Vegeta Ki-Blast to the back of his head to help Gohan win the Kamehameha battle against Super-Perfect Cell, so I think they are quite even, maybe with slight advantage for Gohan.
His power weighted form is the one he uses to mock trunks and fight ssj2 gohan in budokai 1 he gets very buffed when using this form though its rarely used in most games
I love Cell. I feel like a lot of people don’t like him but a villain that has all the positive and negative traits of our hero’s is such a cool villain imo. Gokus lust for battle Vegetas cockiness Friezas fear and pettiness. I love him
Gohan even mentioned that he only had half of his power left und could only use one arm for his Kamehameha. But despite this handicap he was stll able do destroy Super-Perfect-Cell after Vegeta distracted him. Thats mean SSJ2-Gohan(without any help)>SPCell.
Wrong. Not only did Vegeta's distraction cause Cell's power to momentarily diminish, but Gohan's power being "cut in half" was BS. At half power, he would not have maintained his SS2 power. Not only that, but Cell broke a full powered SS2Gohan's arm with one hit and owned him for the entire kamehameha struggle. Cell was stronger.
There are two types of villains I love. One type is the cartoonishly evil kind, the kind that just loves being evil. The other is the dark reflection villain; Cell is one of those kind. Cell takes the idea of self improvement, and ideology of our heroes and perverses it. it's why Cell is my favorite villain.
I would love for Cell to return, he is my favorite character in the series. But he likely won't because of how annoying his spots are to animate. Too bad one of the characters with the most potential won't make a return because of an aspect that could be removed and nobody would care. Frankly, give him Freeza's gold form. Then make the gold form have 0 spots and only ever show him in the gold form. Aside from the glaring issue that the form is hard to maintain over lengthy periods of time sending the community into an uproar on how he shouldn't be capable of that, fixed.
Toriyama just said that the spots were annoying to draw, I never really heard anything about the animation. besides, Tori doesn't write Dragonball on his own, so that wouldn't be a problem unless he feels bad for Toyotaro. And like you said, at worst they would just give him a new form with no spots.
4:38- the changes are still there, just slightly more subtle going from a low rasp to a clearer sounding polite tone to an even cleaner sounding tough/polite tone.
(9:34) When gohan was prepping to fight cell the second time he was pretty confident that he could beat cell, but he lost the confidence after cell blasted his arm. Where he told goku that he wasn’t sure if he could beat cell anymore because he had less than half of his life left.(probably due to the damage sustained from his arm)
Of course as a kid, I only preferred his Perfect Cell design because of how strong it made him but watching the series back as an adult that can fully understand the story and tension, I now love his imperfect/1st form just because how creepy and new it was to Dragon Ball. The tension was so high after his introduction because of no one being able to trace him and his ability to absorb, the scene where he drained the life out that guy in front of Piccolo still gives chills whenever I watch it. Also I think Cell couldn’t fit in the time machine not because of his height but because of his wings made him wider than Trunks
How big was cell in his first form that he didnt fit in the time machine? I mean goku,vegeta, trunks, and bulma all fit in the machine I think even mai.
9:57 I have to disagree! Cell's power was not necessarily lower than Gohan's. I'm not sure if you remember, but it was Gohan, Krilin, Tien, Yamcha, Piccolo, and Vegeta who fought Cell all at once :D Vegeta blew Cell's momentum, and that's when Gohan beats Cell. Cell was about to beat everyone essentially. So, not really a fair fight ;)
well Gohan broke his arm when he saved Vegeta so there was already a strain on his body even before the beam clash and all it took was a distraction for Gohan to overpower him so had Gohan been unencumbered by his injury he'd have won easily
@@thedarkderp2520 Cell was strong enough to crush Gohans arm. That already shows that Cells power was as great as Gohans or even higher if he was able to do that. And no, Gohan didnt had his guard down. He was in full fighting mode with his aura up and everything being prepared for the hit and even with his aura protection and with his knowledge of the incoming attack cells attack was strong enough to break it. Im sure both of their powers were pretty similar.
@@XDrakeX1 sure but Gohan rushed in to take the blast he didn't prepare himself to take it he just jumped in front of it on instinct to save Vegeta which costed him his arm in some translations especially the games which I take with a grain of salt say this cut Gohan's ki in half and yet Gohan still overpowered cell albeit with a distraction but still taking into account he was at half ki (still don't know if he was) is an impressive feat
@@thedarkderp2520 Yeah he jumped in front of him but he was still fully prepared to take the hit. He was on guard no matter what. The thing is that Cell was able to completely destroy his arm with an casual attack. That arleady shows how strong Cell was. It was just a casual attack but it could hurt a SSJ2. Thats why Cell was definitely in the same league as Gohan. Also just because you cant use your arm anymore doesnt mean that your power drops by half or whatever. Gohan should still have the same power as before, he just couldnt use his arm. Its the same with Shanks. Just cause you cant use your arm doesnt mean that you are loosing power from your body. Thats also why it makes sense that he could still beat Cell. As i said in my mind Cell and Gohan at that point nearly had the same strenght. The beam struggle is also hinting at that. Of course Gohans injury and the pain was distracting his concentration but Cell got distracted himself and Gohan got the right motivation from Goku to push everything at the right moment. Thats how he won and thats how you win if both fighters have similar strenght. The right moment is the deciding factor.
i'd like to see what would happen if cell trained like frieza did. he's part saiyan so he could un-lock more power. also, wonder how he'd look if he'd absorbed 18 first. would his 2nd form be the same? perfect cell absorbed by buu would be awesome too.
I just realized that 2 out of 3 major villains in Z (not including Vegeta) are alive. Buu and Frieza are alive but Cell is still in Hell.....hey that rhymed
Future writers, if you’re reading this, revive cell! He’s too good of a character not to have again! He should be like an anti villain. He was hilarious in DBFZ and him in the show would be no different! He’s a lot of people’s favorite villain if not character, me included and I believe him and frieza working together would be interesting! The end of the Broly movie is setting up a Cell return PERFECTLY! No pun intended.
Incoming fanboy Gohan video. Way to ignore that Cell was playing with Gohan, that Gohan needed Vegeta to distract Cell, that Cell was originally so desperate to not lose to Gohan that he would have rathered blown himself up...yet when he returned instead of sneak killing Gohan he decided to blindly attack because he was obviously powerful enough to fight Gohan. Way to ignore Cell obliterated half of Gohan's power without even trying. Way to ignore that Raditz was killed by Piccolo, obviously Piccolo was stronger. That Super Vegeta's Final Flash could have blown Cell to dust, so clearly he was stronger than Cell right? That if Cell couldn't regenerate, Goku's kamehameha would have killed Cell so obviously Goku was stronger. Cell "sent to dust" is irrelevant since Gohan needed all the help in the world to win. There's overestimation of Gohan, not the other way around. It's better story telling that Cell was stronger not because of liking Cell more than Gohan, but actually because the underdog overcame the struggle at hand and in an epic fashion at that.
The way I see it Perfect Cell would be truly perfect if he retained the personality and cleverness he showed in his Imperfect form and didn't allow his ego to get the better of him. Also funny thing is how Perfect Cell in particular was actually one of the least evil villains in Z.
1st form Cell's wings and tail would have gotten in the way when he tried to sit in the time machine. I doubt he would have thought to rip 'em off for the ride.
I dunno. I feel like in the Gohan x Cell finisher, Vegeta bapping Cell in the back with a ki blast is underrated. Piccolo noticed it at least, but Piccolo's the chill dude.
Kuribohchaos8 It’s more because he has Goku’s cells. Goku was a fast learner, able to learn the Kamehameha after watching it ONCE. So it stands to reason that Cell would have this trait from Goku as well
Eugene Welch he can't, 16 is pure machine, 17 18 are part human. Android doesn't rlly fir them since they're not all machine, cyborg would be better term
If I remember correctly I think he did try to absorb his energy while in imperfect form and of course it did nothing lol tho I don't remember if that scene is canon or not
Cell was only created because Android 17 and 18 threaten to kill Dr. Gero. I believe when Dr.Gero shut them off the first time that's when he planned and started to make Cell.
Cleeche Copeland that’s not the case because in trunks’ future cell also exists and as we know gero was unable to shut down 17 and 18 when he activated them the first time, that’s why present 17 and 18 are different than their future counterpart because in the future gero didn’t have time to modify them after they tried to kill him the first time
I still believe that Perfect Cell when powering up with the Golden Aura was an indication of him being a Super Saiyan Type. And Super Perfect Cell being Super Saiyan 2 Type. It looks obvious to me. The same can be said however that Cell is simply activating his Saiyan Cells to use Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan 2 States. But I believe in the latter. I would love for Cell to return.

get rid of... *the sayian DNA*
so he will become... PERFECTER CELL.
If Cell came back in DBS and trained like Freeza did...whoo boy
The Z fighters would be in trouble 😅
I would actually like to see him come even though It won't happen
He has goku and Vegetas cells so he could get god ki. He could also have a golden form because of his Frieza cells or he could have his own new form.
@@aidenging8923 Actually I'm pretty sure anyone can access God ki if they train enough with a deity like Beerus or Whis
@@shemarwhit8977 that is true
He would most certainly kill gohan
I personally like how Cell’s voice actor Dameon Clarke changes his voice with each transformation. Perfect Cell’s my favorite, and Semi-Perfect (2nd Form) Cell’s my... well, second, and Imperfect (1st Form) Cell is last.
Cell has some nice forms. I like Cell's first form and his perfect form. That includes Cell's Cell Junior kids. One of them would actually have been female.
An bio mechanic android can't be male or female dude😐
3:57 Yeah it's my favorite form too, I prefer a villain that looks monsterous instead of humanoid, and Imperfect Cell fits it 😁
My first exposure to DBZ, after hearing about Cell and the androids from my friend (I pictured the androids to look like blocky robots haha), was the dubbed episode 'Android Explosion' during the Cell Games. And I LOVED it, I thought perfect Cell was freaking awesome and from there I was hooked!
I get the feeling that the whole "Cell not fitting in the time machine" thing had something to do with the large stiff wing things and long thick tail instead of his height (not to mention the large head crest as well), i can imagine that those wings and tail make it impossible for him to sit on anything that has a back to it and the time machines seat doesn't seem to have any space behind it to "drape" his wings over, it may sound like a half-ass excuse but it also kind of makes sense, his "body extensions?" made him not quite fit so he had to compress by devolving. that's my theory anyway.
He was called "Power-Weighted" in Budokai 1 because his final transformation is supposed to be when he gets all buff and pissed off. For whatever reason, the model only changes in the story mode fight against him, but has no difference with regular Perfect Cell's one when used by the player.
A similar issue occurs where Final Form Freeza's model is the same as his 100% powered up state when used by the player, with the leaner build being relegated to only story mode as well.
4:39 looks like a teenager. He's six.
The way I've understood cell's transformations is, he ALWAYS has the data in his DNA for his perfect form, but that like super saiyan 3 and some other transformations, it has a TREMENDOUS energy requirement, and that all he gets from absorbing the androids is their Infinite Engines, and that TWO engines that can give their host infinite stamina are required before his body can actually achieve and maintain his perfect form.
The fact that he is then able to re-achieve his perfect form, but seems to get even stronger even after self destruction, is because of that Zenkai boost. He gets so much stronger from surviving that, that he finally has the energy to maintain that form himself, even without the engines.
That's of course not quite how its presented in the lore, buuuuuuuuut the explanation given for these sorts of things is often a little lacking, and it requires some lateral thinking to really figure it out.
This also makes me realize, if Bulma did to Goku what Giro did to the androids, he'd have essentially no limit to how long he can maintain SSJ3
Cell has ssj, 100% and giant form, all from saiyans frieza and piccolo
Imperfect (1st form) Cell is my favorite DBZ character and was what got me into it back in 2000. Not much of a fan anymore, but I still love that form!
Two years ago, you said Cell might come back and that time has come! Dope.
2nd form Cell has always been my favorite version.
Cell perfect from is obviously my favorite form I hope one day cell will return as the big bad
4:40 Accurate description. Everyone knows that teenagers look like reptiles.
I thought it was stated that Super Perfect Cell was stronger than “teen” Gohan, but because everyone was helping him, Gohan was able to get the W, despite being slightly weaker and injured
Super perfect cell is on par with ssj2 gohan when he's calm. Cell was indeed winning the clash and was toying with him but Gohan was injured.
I might be wrong Geekdom101, but I always thought the power weighed form in budokai 1 was the form that cell took when he bulked up his muscles in his fight with super saiyan 2 Gohan.
5:20 Semi Perfect Cell looks way cooler with the red eyes.
His hand was damaged but at the same time you could say it took constant efforts of the entire Z-squad including a full power Vegeta Ki-Blast to the back of his head to help Gohan win the Kamehameha battle against Super-Perfect Cell, so I think they are quite even, maybe with slight advantage for Gohan.
His power weighted form is the one he uses to mock trunks and fight ssj2 gohan in budokai 1 he gets very buffed when using this form though its rarely used in most games
CELL IS THE BEST THERE IS
THE BEST THERE WAS
AND THE BEST THERE EVER WILL BE
Love the Bret Heart Reference
YES!...My favorite character, design, fight(Goku vs P. Cell), and of course Bruce Falconer Perfect Cell theme!
I love Cell. I feel like a lot of people don’t like him but a villain that has all the positive and negative traits of our hero’s is such a cool villain imo. Gokus lust for battle Vegetas cockiness Friezas fear and pettiness. I love him
He's one of the most popular villians in the entire series. He's very beloved, especially here in the west.
First form Cell was and is such a terrifying concept
"FIIINNAALLLL FLAAAASH!!!!"
"Aww look he named it....OH SHIT!!"
Gohan even mentioned that he only had half of his power left und could only use one arm for his Kamehameha. But despite this handicap he was stll able do destroy Super-Perfect-Cell after Vegeta distracted him. Thats mean SSJ2-Gohan(without any help)>SPCell.
Wrong. Not only did Vegeta's distraction cause Cell's power to momentarily diminish, but Gohan's power being "cut in half" was BS. At half power, he would not have maintained his SS2 power. Not only that, but Cell broke a full powered SS2Gohan's arm with one hit and owned him for the entire kamehameha struggle. Cell was stronger.
Adam Parente thank you
Cell returning would be cool but I’ve always thought it’d be awesome if a Cell Jr. escaped, grew, matured and became a blast from the past threat
There are two types of villains I love. One type is the cartoonishly evil kind, the kind that just loves being evil. The other is the dark reflection villain; Cell is one of those kind. Cell takes the idea of self improvement, and ideology of our heroes and perverses it. it's why Cell is my favorite villain.
I came here faster than the notification sent
Tiger now THAT is some Ultra Instinct clicking right there! :)
I would love for Cell to return, he is my favorite character in the series. But he likely won't because of how annoying his spots are to animate. Too bad one of the characters with the most potential won't make a return because of an aspect that could be removed and nobody would care. Frankly, give him Freeza's gold form. Then make the gold form have 0 spots and only ever show him in the gold form. Aside from the glaring issue that the form is hard to maintain over lengthy periods of time sending the community into an uproar on how he shouldn't be capable of that, fixed.
Toriyama just said that the spots were annoying to draw, I never really heard anything about the animation. besides, Tori doesn't write Dragonball on his own, so that wouldn't be a problem unless he feels bad for Toyotaro.
And like you said, at worst they would just give him a new form with no spots.
4:38- the changes are still there, just slightly more subtle going from a low rasp to a clearer sounding polite tone to an even cleaner sounding tough/polite tone.
(9:34)
When gohan was prepping to fight cell the second time he was pretty confident that he could beat cell, but he lost the confidence after cell blasted his arm. Where he told goku that he wasn’t sure if he could beat cell anymore because he had less than half of his life left.(probably due to the damage sustained from his arm)
What if cell absorbed 18 first instead of 17 what would that look like?
3:39 he's taller than piccolo, who's taller than almost everyone else
Cell is a not only a Super Saiyan. He goes SS2 when he comes back to fight Gohan after Goku’s sacrifice.
Of course as a kid, I only preferred his Perfect Cell design because of how strong it made him but watching the series back as an adult that can fully understand the story and tension, I now love his imperfect/1st form just because how creepy and new it was to Dragon Ball. The tension was so high after his introduction because of no one being able to trace him and his ability to absorb, the scene where he drained the life out that guy in front of Piccolo still gives chills whenever I watch it. Also I think Cell couldn’t fit in the time machine not because of his height but because of his wings made him wider than Trunks
How big was cell in his first form that he didnt fit in the time machine? I mean goku,vegeta, trunks, and bulma all fit in the machine I think even mai.
9:57
I have to disagree! Cell's power was not necessarily lower than Gohan's. I'm not sure if you remember, but it was Gohan, Krilin, Tien, Yamcha, Piccolo, and Vegeta who fought Cell all at once :D
Vegeta blew Cell's momentum, and that's when Gohan beats Cell. Cell was about to beat everyone essentially. So, not really a fair fight ;)
well Gohan broke his arm when he saved Vegeta so there was already a strain on his body even before the beam clash and all it took was a distraction for Gohan to overpower him so had Gohan been unencumbered by his injury he'd have won easily
@@thedarkderp2520
Cell was strong enough to crush Gohans arm. That already shows that Cells power was as great as Gohans or even higher if he was able to do that.
And no, Gohan didnt had his guard down. He was in full fighting mode with his aura up and everything being prepared for the hit and even with his aura protection and with his knowledge of the incoming attack cells attack was strong enough to break it.
Im sure both of their powers were pretty similar.
@@XDrakeX1 sure but Gohan rushed in to take the blast he didn't prepare himself to take it he just jumped in front of it on instinct to save Vegeta which costed him his arm in some translations especially the games which I take with a grain of salt say this cut Gohan's ki in half and yet Gohan still overpowered cell albeit with a distraction but still taking into account he was at half ki (still don't know if he was) is an impressive feat
@@thedarkderp2520
Yeah he jumped in front of him but he was still fully prepared to take the hit. He was on guard no matter what.
The thing is that Cell was able to completely destroy his arm with an casual attack. That arleady shows how strong Cell was. It was just a casual attack but it could hurt a SSJ2. Thats why Cell was definitely in the same league as Gohan.
Also just because you cant use your arm anymore doesnt mean that your power drops by half or whatever. Gohan should still have the same power as before, he just couldnt use his arm. Its the same with Shanks. Just cause you cant use your arm doesnt mean that you are loosing power from your body. Thats also why it makes sense that he could still beat Cell.
As i said in my mind Cell and Gohan at that point nearly had the same strenght. The beam struggle is also hinting at that. Of course Gohans injury and the pain was distracting his concentration but Cell got distracted himself and Gohan got the right motivation from Goku to push everything at the right moment. Thats how he won and thats how you win if both fighters have similar strenght. The right moment is the deciding factor.
@@XDrakeX1 oh i stopped caring two days ago but thanks anyway
Cell is one of the best designs ever in anime.
i'd like to see what would happen if cell trained like frieza did. he's part saiyan so he could un-lock more power. also, wonder how he'd look if he'd absorbed 18 first. would his 2nd form be the same? perfect cell absorbed by buu would be awesome too.
I just realized that 2 out of 3 major villains in Z (not including Vegeta) are alive. Buu and Frieza are alive but Cell is still in Hell.....hey that rhymed
Out running errands with my girl... but then BY GAWD GEEKDOM COMES IN WITH A ANOTHER TRANSFORMATION VID 😱 so then the priorities started kicking in.
4:24 for those that play DBZ games this is why Cell always sounds like first form Cell when he gets hit regardless of what form he’s in.
Ahhĥhh
When I hear Geekdom mention Manga chapters and episode numbers, I just imagine him behind a podium speaking to his congregation.
Future writers, if you’re reading this, revive cell! He’s too good of a character not to have again! He should be like an anti villain. He was hilarious in DBFZ and him in the show would be no different! He’s a lot of people’s favorite villain if not character, me included and I believe him and frieza working together would be interesting! The end of the Broly movie is setting up a Cell return PERFECTLY! No pun intended.
Broly set up cell return? How so? Explain.
He's to good of a character to bring back. Leave him alone
I honestly hate the idea of frieza and cell teaming up because they would realistically clash with eachother
@Alex Mercer true. Super did too many mistakes
LET THEM COME UP WITH NEW CHARACTERS!
I always wondered if Imperfect Cell absorbed android 18 before 17, would his second form look differrent?
themathiasP he gets a lady body and blond hair instead of his fish lips
Probably not
It’s possible. We’ll never know I guess
I still like calling the cell that came back from the explosion “Perfecter Cell” -Yamaha (DBZA)
To evolve your Imperfect Cell must use the A17 shard and the A18 stone, cast explosion then you will mega evolve into Super Cell. Super effective!
great job on this video and can you do Super Saiyan 4 now please
Incoming fanboy Gohan video. Way to ignore that Cell was playing with Gohan, that Gohan needed Vegeta to distract Cell, that Cell was originally so desperate to not lose to Gohan that he would have rathered blown himself up...yet when he returned instead of sneak killing Gohan he decided to blindly attack because he was obviously powerful enough to fight Gohan. Way to ignore Cell obliterated half of Gohan's power without even trying. Way to ignore that Raditz was killed by Piccolo, obviously Piccolo was stronger. That Super Vegeta's Final Flash could have blown Cell to dust, so clearly he was stronger than Cell right? That if Cell couldn't regenerate, Goku's kamehameha would have killed Cell so obviously Goku was stronger. Cell "sent to dust" is irrelevant since Gohan needed all the help in the world to win.
There's overestimation of Gohan, not the other way around. It's better story telling that Cell was stronger not because of liking Cell more than Gohan, but actually because the underdog overcame the struggle at hand and in an epic fashion at that.
The way I see it Perfect Cell would be truly perfect if he retained the personality and cleverness he showed in his Imperfect form and didn't allow his ego to get the better of him. Also funny thing is how Perfect Cell in particular was actually one of the least evil villains in Z.
1st form Cell's wings and tail would have gotten in the way when he tried to sit in the time machine. I doubt he would have thought to rip 'em off for the ride.
I dunno. I feel like in the Gohan x Cell finisher, Vegeta bapping Cell in the back with a ki blast is underrated. Piccolo noticed it at least, but Piccolo's the chill dude.
That split moment was enough to completely change the dynamic of the fight.
Geekdom101, heres my thing, i believe Cell remembers all abilities used against him not just what hes born with
Kuribohchaos8 It’s more because he has Goku’s cells. Goku was a fast learner, able to learn the Kamehameha after watching it ONCE. So it stands to reason that Cell would have this trait from Goku as well
goku has the ability mimicry he can copy anything he sees done , majin buu fat buu also has this ability.
2nd form cell is my favorite version. I think he looks awesome.
"As a soon to be broken man once said. Your either perfect or your not me." - Cell (team 4 star)
I think Cell would of been a great candidate for the tournament of power , better than Fat Buu defiantly.
Andrew Shepard buu was leagues above cell in strength so no cell wouldn’t have been a better candidate
At least he wouldn’t of fell asleep
@@r3a1itygamezz14 If Cell trained he’d probably be stronger than any DBZ character
@@thekingbradable broly>>>>
10:13 GEEKDOM IS A PSYCHIC
Cell’s Semi Perfect From Looks Very Similar To His Own Perfect Form
Yes!! Pleeeeeeeeeease do SSJ2 Gohan explained video!! Please! 🙏🙏🙏
I got a question..what if Cell absorb Android 16?
Eugene Welch he can't, 16 is pure machine, 17 18 are part human. Android doesn't rlly fir them since they're not all machine, cyborg would be better term
If I remember correctly I think he did try to absorb his energy while in imperfect form and of course it did nothing lol tho I don't remember if that scene is canon or not
Wow see I didn't know if he could or not but he did that would be something...I think
Yes, he tried to suck energy from 16 during their fight but it did nothing to him.
Cell was only created because Android 17 and 18 threaten to kill Dr. Gero. I believe when Dr.Gero shut them off the first time that's when he planned and started to make Cell.
Cleeche Copeland that’s not the case because in trunks’ future cell also exists and as we know gero was unable to shut down 17 and 18 when he activated them the first time, that’s why present 17 and 18 are different than their future counterpart because in the future gero didn’t have time to modify them after they tried to kill him the first time
You have so many ideas for this channel! I'm so proud of you!
I still believe that Perfect Cell when powering up with the Golden Aura was an indication of him being a Super Saiyan Type. And Super Perfect Cell being Super Saiyan 2 Type. It looks obvious to me. The same can be said however that Cell is simply activating his Saiyan Cells to use Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan 2 States. But I believe in the latter.
I would love for Cell to return.
