Perfect Cell - The BEST Written Villain?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лип 2021
- When looking at the Cell Saga beyond the surface, it becomes apparent that Cell is much more fleshed out than people give him credit for. Is he possibly one of the best written villains in DB? (I could say he's the PERFECT villain, but that's corny)

Clearly, you haven’t embraced Monster Carrot as the perfect character
Facts
Faccctss
faxxx
If you think about it... Monster Carrot would have probably still been alive on the moon in the future timeline...
OMG, they could have made HIM immortal, then have him touch zamazu, with bulma offering him money she is loaded after all xD.
"Behold the immortal Carrot"
*Shows zamasu who is now a carrot thanks to the immortal bunny*
@@electrobob992 that’s kinda genius (if you put aside the fact that he likely didn’t have any extra oxygen or food that is.)
Missed opportunity in the title: The *PERFECT* Written Villian
@@Knightgob i was gonna say i dont care
@@Knightgob I was gonna say a joke insulting u
I just kinda said that great minds think alike :D
You mean The Villian Written Perfect
I mean he did say it at the beginning of the video
Cell is definitely the most “honorable” and dignified villain in the saga despite him being a murderous sociopath.
He gives Vegeta a chance to shine once he obtains his perfect form.
He gives Trunks some tips during fighting, like how brute strength is meaningless if you’re sacrificing speed (which foreshadows his demise with Gohan).
He’s ready to kill Trunks, but decides to ask him how he got so strong so quickly and instead decides to let him and everyone else train for ten more days so it can be a fair fight. *And* he keeps his word.
He compliments and praises Goku for his skills and tactics when they fight in his tournament.
He pushes Gohan to his max power because he sees potential in him, and ofc that doesn’t go well for him.
Idk villains like that are just really interesting. “I may be a piece of shit but at least I have standards.”
This is why I've always thought that resurrecting Frieza and not Cell is so pointless and fanservicey in Super
If they had to resurrect one villain that would be willing to help to test his strength, it would be Cell. The way they are handling Frieza in Super is so out of character for him, but they had Cell right in front of them.
Best saga and villain imo
@@guazazqui788 From what I heard, the reason it was Frieza was because it was a pain to draw Cell
Yeah but he was also a smug bastard so it made it really satisfying when he's being atomized. "BUT I'M PERFECCTTTTT!!!"
Cell was made by the Red Ribbon Army, had Piccolo's cells, Vegeta's cells, and Frieza's cells, and absorbed the androids.
He is LITERALLY the culmination of everything Goku has fought for up until that point, and so it's only fitting how the product of all of the villainy thus far is defeated by the product of Goku's fighting spirit: Gohan.
It also focuses on the idea of Goku finding a successor, being Gohan, who is forced into beating the representation of the past generation.
true but cell himself is meh...freeza vegeta and boo had better personalities to me...cell just feels boring
It's true, this was the perfect tribute for goku if you think about it. Cell has all the cells of all the strongest opponents goku defeated, on top of that, it even does a DragonBall style fighting tournament. Something goku was an expert in, probably the last true martial arts style fight in DragonBall z before everyone started blowing up planets. Also, everyone in this saga shined. Tien shined, piccolo shined, vegeta shined, Android 17 and 16 shined, etc. Everyone had there moments until gohan left everyone in the dust. It would have been a great conclusion for gokus life, and moving on to gohan. Great saga regardless though.
Even Gero didn’t bother putting in emperor Pilaf’s cells. He’s that forgotten 💀
@@aetherialbeing4223 i always see db in a different way like king piccolo up to freiza were the first-generation enemies then cell and the androids are the second then buu and babidi are the 3rd (1st includes the original db cast and Vegeta after the Saiyan saga 2nd is Gohan future trunks and 3rd is Gohan goten trunks and kinda pan)
Cell is Without a doubt my favorite villain particularly his perfect form
The design and that intelligent
not gonna lie, i dont hate cell but hes so fucking overrated its wild. the androids were more interesting, and toriyamas editor kept spouting bullshit about the villains being "ugly"
@@exorsus7275 nah, I have to disagree. The Androids dont have an interesting motive or goals. They are pretty cool but they work much better as minor antagonists rather than the main villain. Cell is the best villain in DBZ because he isnt one-dimensional like Frieza and has a very interesting backstory
@@exorsus7275Androids are better as minor antagonists or Hero's
@@guazazqui788agreed Cell is better than Frieza
Cell was basically a one time antagonist, while Frieza keeps coming back.
Dbza made Frieza into more of a psychopath and I think if he was originally that evil he would be the best villain
@@cameronthompson9178 Frieza was already a evil psychopath in the original 🤦 plus while I loved dbza I think it's massively overrated

I like cell because he doesn’t kill people immediately he keeps a promise like waiting 10 days for the tournament and he can manipulate people and push others to new forms
Yeah only one day after basically eating everyone within a 10 mile city radius did he decide "Maybe I'll stop killing for 10 days."
bro cell destroyed a town to make his announcmenet and destroyed the military during that 10 days
@@paozu1152 He wasn’t the one who attacked the military, if they hadn’t shown up he wouldn’t kill them
They are the ones who attacked first
Cell was even worried of Goku landing a kamehameha on the ground
@@ObeseMommy he still destroyed a whole town 😂 still was planning on destroying the earth too. he wasn't worried on goku doing that, he was shocked goku of all people would go that far
@Control Crab No. It's because of his arrogance and psychopathy
Fun fact: Travis Willingham who voiced Knuckles in Sonic Boom and various other Sonic games also voiced Perfect Cell in Dragon Ball Raging Blast 2.
Unlike Frieza, Cell doesn't chuckle..
He'd rather flex his muscles.
Best DBZ game
And ginjo in bleach
And also Thor.
no debate. Cell is the perfect villian and had a amazing backstory
nah lol everyone in the cell saga materialized themselves out of thin air
mr satan and 16 add to the depth of cell...without them maybe hes not the best but those 2 looking back add some needed scenes and worldbuilding to that gohan vs cell fight that is very vital looking back
Since Cell came from the future you can see the villain's complete arc
Definitely not cell saga is ass
@@calebprice6620 what makes you think that gang? I’m actually curious?
And fun fact: He was the only villain to push everyone to 5 plus transformations
Frieza and Cell are indeed the main 2 greatest villains in the entire Dragon Ball franchise with Frieza being more popular than Cell because we simply got to see more of him and the fact we get to know a lot more about him as well.
Correct me if I'm wrong but frieza is the villain we've seen the least backstory for. *Jiren* has shown more of his backstory than frieza
They are the most iconic ones
@@Not_Claptrap idk why but i fór some reason kinda like that Frieza didnt have backstory.
@@Not_Claptrap freezas backstory is linked with the sayiens. So we basically has seen his backstory how he got to rule over them and why he did what he did. Idk bout you guys but to me that’s enough backstory to me
@@nlc2566 yes but we dont even know if he *has* a race. Is it just frieza, king cold, and cooler? If he does have people we just dont know he does. Jiren, who's notoriously clowned on for having a bad backstory, has his backstory about there being an evil being who slaughtered all his people except for him. Then due to childhood trauma he needs to get immensely stronger. If you asked me, I'd have to say jiren has the much superior backstory
Cell introduction might have been a reverse of Vegeta’s. Vegeta was traduced eating a bug man talking to Nappa, and blowing up a planet, cell was caught drinking a man, chatting it up with piccolo, and destroying entire towns leaving them as dead, and lifeless as the planet Vegeta destroyed.
Cell is a smart villain. He made earth create an entire martial arts for him. He was just like Goku that and wanted to fight and get stronger.
I wish cell was the final boss of Z because he had all the z fighters ability’s but imagine if he happens in super he would be OP hey it could make a cool What IF
He might be coming back in dragon ball super
He’d be op, especially if he could use hakai
Salad I'd like to hear what you think, but what I personally thought would have been cool to see is him be an anti-hero. Hear me out what if he really just wanted to have a good fight and tournament. Didn't try to blow up the world instead just fight them. Like Vegeta tho be reserved afterwards and not immediately join them, but also something like Piccolo and go out by himself in the wild. Questioning himself and if he should really listen to Dr. Gero's programming and instead be his own person.
Had a random ass dream about this so before I forget what if Whis visited Earth before Beerus?
I don't even know what this could do but all I remember is Whis visited right before Raditz, and he got Goku away from namek when it was exploding 🏃🛸
I like the suggestion so imma write down reply that your dream is good
I just realized. Cell has wings in all his forms expect he's second
Saiyans gave us Fear and Confusion.
Frieza gave us Dread and a Sadistic villain
Cell gave us Despair and by far the most intelligent villain
Buu gave us Uub
Buu gave beerus no pudding. 😂
Buu gave us buu
what did cell do that was intelligent?
buu gave us destruction flat out desolation
We need a discussion about piccolo
The Goku Vs Cell fight literally felt like a play-date. When Goku gave up, you can even see the disappointment in Cell’s face.
I LOVED him as a villian he had a lot of character and seemed pretty nice and he was written really good
Ayyyy, Id love to suggest you do a scenario where kakarot was sent to Vegeta and Raditz instead of Earth as Gine thought he’d be safer with his brother!
Out of the all villains I like both cell and cooler from just there looks and there story in the series even if cooler is not Canon i wish he was.
If he didn't get cocky and if he blasted everyone before the cell games, he would've stayed alive to challenge Beerus later on and with training he would easily surpass Golden Frieza and Beerus. Truly terrifying potential
This is perfect
I hope cell comes back in the 2022 movie
Bro predicted the future
Yeah
He my favorite villian
I think I have him in his own tier as a villian. Understandable villain
The different between Cell and other main villain in DBZ is that he himself is a master of martial arts.
Frieza or Buu just fight with their body naturally, while Cell know various martial arts just like Goku and the others, he's not a monster you can defeat with power alone, thus make the fight between him and Goku become so cool, because they're not just fighting with ki beam, but compare their martial arts skill to each other also.
The reason why Cell become so rage with Gohan was not because of he's a hypocrite.
It was because the fact that he believes he was perfect, that Goku is the only one who can compare to him, Gohan humiliated his faith and dignity.
Salad: blinking
Cell: that is true perfection
Cell, specifically Imperfect Cell, was the true reason I started liking dragon ball as a kid. Upon learning about him more as I got older, I find this villain better than Frieza in my eyes. Frieza is a great villain but Imperfect Cell gave me a fright as a kid, and that's when I knew Cell was my favorite villain.
What if the room of spirit and time was always broken? Young Goku would be stronger, thet could've used it before Namek, it seems like a good one off
Gotta say this was a pretty great video, nice job 👍
Honestly I do believe Cell is just a perfect villain, which is why Im scared they might ruin him
There has been many hints that Cell might be coming back and I hope he doesnt because his arc has an amazing ending and I feel like they might ruin him if they bring him back
Gohan Blanco vs Golden Cell
My fav villain in all of DB. Cells character and design is genius and a perfectly twisted foil to Goku and the others. He loves fighting and testing his limits but unlike Goku has an insatiable lust for power and inflicting terror onto people for his own amusement and sees everyone else as inferior.
A character analysis series sounds like a great idea to have in case you get bored of what if scenarios.
Could you do another discussion video on the shadow dragons? They're some of my favorite villains from gt and I'd be interested on hearing your thoughts
Hes not the best villain
Hes the perfect villain
Yes
they got us in the first half not gonna lie
@@krysert4552 no. They didnt.
@@krysert4552 yeah
@@krysert4552 nah I already knew
Cell is the perfect villain no pun intended.
I wonder since cell has frieza and king colds dna... Dosent he have raditz,nappa or worst of all... FARMER WITH SHOTGUN?!?!??!??
If He had farmer with shotgun dna He would basicly one shot gohan So no He doesn't have it
I agree with you 100% even before you had this discussion he's my favorite villain as well and my favorite character
Another banger of a video
Him and cooler need to be brought back to the series
So you put a lot of thought into this one bro, and you made alot of valid points. Ive always wanted to see cell come back like frieza did.
Boy I do to. A white or a purple cell. No. CLEAR. Like a jellyfish. And as strong as Jiren but evil and sinister
Since you talked about Cell, I think the next one that deserves it is Piccolo
No
Love your videos keep it up dude 😎😁👍
Still my favorite Villain to this day with Goku Black, Baby, and Cooler right behind him. While the Saiyan & Frieza Saga will always be considered the best, Cell and his saga will always be my favorite of all Dragon Ball.
The incredibles sign in the middle of your purple cell 😂
You dont need to force me to think that
Bro cell the realest villian wish he was homies with goku that dude gave them days to train other villains wouldn’t even waited outside in one spot
Frieza is my favourite villain and Cell I'd say a very close 2nd favorite if you watch Cell carefully he displays characteristics of various other characters especially when he scoffed Vegeta by putting his finger to his lip something Frieza does often, and the he says Super Vegeta and laughs maliciously like Vegeta's fight on Namek against final form Frieza, I always wondered what he inherited from Cold aside from his similar looks, hight and the obvious ability to breathe in space
There is only one thing to say here: BITCH MY NAME IS PERFECT CELLLLLL
Great video wouldn’t mind hearing your opinion on other characters
YES I’ve been thinking this for years so it’s great to see a youtuber take a closer look at Cell sharing the worst aspects of Goku and Vegeta. I really think Cell should have been in the Tournament of Power rather than Frieza. I mean the TOP is basically just the Cell Games on a way bigger scale and it’s Goku’s fault so having Cell would have allowed for more introspection on Goku’s flaws rather than brushing them off. Since he has the DNA of so many heroes I also think there’s a greater chance of him turning a new leaf than Frieza. It wouldn’t have made sense for Cell to be strong enough but it didn’t make much sense for Frieza either. This was a great video so please do more like this
salad do "what if tien trained with whis?". Maybe he could get a god form
Cell saga is perfect blend of horror, sci fi, drama and action.
blinking salad saiyan isn't real he can't hurt you
Blinking salad saiyan:
I always loved every aspect of Cell. Personally and powers to art desgin and concept of Cell.
oh god, that blinking is nightmare fuel
Great video and love cell 🤠
When I read the title the title I was like hell no but u change my mind …cell has became my top 3 fav characters
Why do I feel cell is some UA-camrs favourite villain who happens to take inspiration from his design and say that cell is not his favourite villain 🤪
Finally a good take on cell
He's my favorite DBZ villian.
And please PLEASE make more videos like this!
Oh my god, the Mr. Satan drop in the last 30 seconds.
My favorite villain still
i love your what if’s but i would like for you to make more vids like these
Yes because he changed personality and methods with each transformation
More videos like this plz.
I think cell would’ve been a lot more villain if he was his own thing instead of following dr gero
The tournament and him goofing off and having fun WAS him doing his own thing, Gero just wanted him to kill goku (which he ultimately succeeded in doing)
Well I’m saying if he was a lot more independent in general
Cell should return for the next super movie🤷🏾♂️💯
Well that's cool idea but........why?......don't get me wrong i would love if He was revived And everything but problém here Is....why......why should He return. Frieza was revived thanks to his soldiers And second time thanks to Tournament of power So He Is ALIVE thanks to that but Cell.....well There's nobody in Dragon ball universe who would have Reason to brought him back. Only thing i Can think of Is that Dr gero built another android which Will gather the Dragon balls And bring him back but that's really unlikely.
I feel like it should be cooler but I don’t mind cell
Cell also had a lot of potential in power if he continued to live on. He could have the god ki Super Saiyan forms from Goku and Vegeta's DNA, and the Golden form from Frieza. If he was able to stack those forms, he would be incredibly powerful.
Ssj goku in King piccolo saga after krillin death
Perfect cell is the best because of his *PERFECT* face
Bro Salad's twitter is wild
I've always wondered why he never used kaioken.
he may have gokus dna, but he never had gokus techniques. So the same reason he didn't use super saiyan or something.

literally became my favourite anime character after the first time i saw him - wish he made a comeback in super like the TOP or something, i mean, they brought frieza back so why not cell
No trunks s death seems more remenecient of dende's death
Only in being a surprise
Perfect Cell is the Perfect Villain. He had perfect confidence. He knew he was perfect. He is the coolest villain in anime.
0:40 Did it...did it just blink..?
I think Cells personality is more realistic cause it's closer to what a real personality should be like!
because usually real personalities of real humans are build by multiple characters, and we act on these charactars in different situations and with different people!
while Goku and Vegita have only a fraction of what a real personality should be like, too flat and too simple!
Should’ve went with the pun title, even if it’s kinda played out
I think cell and cooler are hands down are the best villains in z
I wanna get this man a youtooz
I agree im glad somebody is finally is making a video about how cell is the PERFECT villain!
Well, cell is now I'm my top 3, thank you salad
Cell is the most busted villain. He had the potential of freiza , strength of Saipan’s , durability of nameks. He is absurdly overpowered
