- PLEASE READ THE FUCKING DESCRIPTION!!!!
DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN NEITHER THIS SONG NOR DRAGONBALL Z!!!!!!!!!!!
Since the original version of this was hella short, I went ahead looped it and remixed it slightly.
The creator of this song is Bruce Faulconer, and of course the creators of DBZ is Funimation and shit.
I MADE THIS DISCLAIMER SO UA-cam WON'T ACT LIKE A FUCKING JEW!!
To all those who viewed Imperfect Cell as the scariest villain, you aren't wrong. In fact it makes the most sense. Of all the threats to Earth, this version of Cell was the most personal and... intimate.
If you imagine yourself in the DBZ world, which villain would pose the most threat to you personally? The one that blows cities up at a time... or the one that slinks into your bedroom while your sleeping, shoots a needle into your neck or arm... and drinks you.
Niggamasu cell walking around with a boom box to his head and sucking people up. Thatd be pretty fuked up. like adding insult to injury type of shit!
+Malthizar That's a terrifying image. It's a shame Toriyama didn't use Imperfect Cell to his full potential.
I agree, how ever i feel buu was also just as scary, especially kid buu because hes the most crazy and destructive one
Smeegle Weezly Don't forget buu was the one who actually killed everyone on earth and destroyed the earth as well
Malthizar Buu was the biggest threat in dbz as he is the one who killed every human on earth and destroyed the earth as well.
This cell was scarier than most horror movie characters, he would follow you and intimidate you waiting for the right chance to suck the life out of your body. His voice is so lifeless and cold, his eyes are dark and show no emotion. He has no remorse, he absorbs people without thinking twice. All the souls that he absorbs are still inside of him begging to be let free, you can see this when he powers up and all his victims are crying out for help from his aura. Imperfect cell is easily the most intimidating villian in the entire series.
I definitely agree imperfect cell is the definition of horrifying he is basically the only villian to ever actually do more killing besides Frieza and goku black and most likely kill anyone or anything to get what he wants he may not have any remorse for killing innocent people but he really did give their souls a perpose and that's to become perfection with him also making him stronger in the process
Dark eyes, no emotion, no remorse, stalks its victims? Sounds alot like Michael Myers
@@mc5428 Well Super Buu as well but he's nowhere near as terrifying
@@PrinceFloof well you do have a point
@@PrinceFloof you do have a point it is true
after all
Cell always seemed more interesting in his Imperfect Form
ToxicDubZ I also think so he's more menacing because of his design and motives
He also actually tried to improve himself unlike when he becomes perfect and just doesn't improve because he insists on being perfect
He was cold and calculating because he literally wasnt close to being a strong creature based on Genetic memories and implanted memories. its obvious why his motives and actions changed as he got stronger. Self Preservation becomes null and void when you become/think you are the strongest creature on the foodchain. If you are lower you have to be careful and calculating. IE Imprefect Cell.
Yep this was his Starscream phase essentially. What he lacked for in power, he made up for in his cunning and calculated nature. A truly demonic entity this creature. There was nothing remotely redeeming about his character here. No Honor or dignity in fighting, purely in it to survive and thrive, with two shits to give about how he got his kills.
@VersatileMugen2099
It's because he felt vulnerable in his imperfect state, his lifes purpose was to achieve his perfect state so he didn't fuck around. He was also much more mysterious amd grotesque probably why i find him scarier so love the industrial theme it fits him perfectly.
"17, I never planned on humiliating you like this. It's a simple merger, that is all. Your resistance is the cause of your pain."
Gohan should've given 2 punches.
in which episode did he say that??
That's one of my favorite lines from imperfect cell oh, the way he says it's a simple merger that is all shows how cold and calculating he looked at everything
@TheBoltMaster 18 didnt fully dissolve apparently.
@@shozanhanma2709 I’d give the voice actor Dameon Clark credit for that line delivery
this form of cell is my favorite. he was truly frightening. he got less scary as he evolved
Imperfect Cell's design was the best because he was monstrous and inhuman. Otherworldy even for DBZ. Lovecraftian style horror design. He also lacked humanity, very cold and calculating in his character. Zero empathy. Even his voice was empty, cold, and inhuman. But even without these things, Cell had the best form of horror to go along with all of this. Mystery. While the Z fighters were trying to take on the Androids, Cell was a "wild card" nobody knew anything about this monster. Who, what, when, where, why. Nothing.
The unknown is the most scary thing to face.
As he got stronger he became more and more human, more perfect. In his first form he was just a cannibalistic creature who drink people to survive
Samsara true words were never spoken
Bitch- I drink people...
Samsara yea because he became perfect
whoever designed cell is a freaking genius
You are calling akira toryama a genius then
shoaraphah
No, he's calling Dr. Gero a genius obviously.
Kevin Mann
What this nigga said.
shoaraphah yes, this guy is a genius.
Lol.
Tracks like these are why I can't take Faulconer hater's seriously. This track is absolutely amazing and fits the theme and appearance of its character perfectly. Cell, the living biological weapon, the culmination of the universe's most powerful warriors, hell bent on achieving its perfection.
Funny you said, "....and fits the theme and appearance of its character PERFECTLY". : j
I love the tracks too! Sadly Faulconer didn't create most of the Funimation tracks, other composers working for him did. He just took all the credit by way of his company. ua-cam.com/video/aXJKr4bnGxk/v-deo.html Read comments under "
This touch of faulconer is what super is missing.." Also this interview of the DBZ ghostwriter composers here: ua-cam.com/video/N0Dt3sbDbVI/v-deo.html Mike Smith, Scott Morgan & Julius Dobos composed a majority of the English Dub of Dragonball Z produced by Funimation(Yes, Bruce Faulconer is not the main composer and composed less than 1% of the score.)
Again I love these tracks. They're part of my childhood. Which is why after so long we must give credit where credit is truly due
@@CandorHispanus some of the Funi dub music sucks to me like ginyu force theme sounds like some 80s generic super hero show. But tracks like vegeta turning super saying, gohan super sayin 2 theme, all the cell themes, super sayin 3 goku, that one trunks theme and others are really good.
I wish there was a mix of the Japanese music and English music. I’m wondering which version of the funi dub should I watch the one with the Japanese music or the English one. I soon gonna finish dragon ball so I’m used to the Japanese music tbh.
As someone who absolutely adores the Faulconer music, the one thing I agree upon retrospect is that it was used far, far too much. While I really dislike the old Japanese sub music as it feels extremely out of place, at least that had it's quieter moments. But in the dub? Every 5 seconds a new track plays to the point where they edit several tracks into one scene that cut right into the middle of each other. Like, it's not even that the music is constant as I love it so any excuse to hear the music is great but my issue is how they edit the tracks to chop right into each other without pause or logic to it.
I love the Bruce Falconer's theme and the original Japanese theme
Coming soon: Cell's mixtape, "Perfect Flow"
MegaFreddy25 is this a TFS reference? XD
*PERFECT*
Cell: just a simple merge📻
lol
this theme absolutely terrified me as a kid... still gives me chills
I liked the beat but that's the only part that didn't scare me
Where does this play in the show
@@SirIron23 i need to know
Same here.
@@SirIron23 a few times but first plays when he introduces himself to Piccolo using that doubled demonic voice, “My name is Cell....I am an android.” You can find it on here
This shit still go hard in 2021. Imperfect Cell is GOAT'ed DB villain for me. What is crazy is how Goku and Vegeta never even saw this form in person, but Cell saw Vegeta. Cell was on some stalker shit.
2022!
2023!
2099
2024
"My name is Cell I'am an Android"
MOATH HARAKAT ''You're... you're an android?''
***** it's DO I HEAR FIVE!?
***** lol alright, alright.
***** *read this fast* WANNA SE ME DRINK THIS GUY
YEP (WHAT YOU GANNA DO ABOUT IT XD)
Some of the hardest music we’ve ever had in DBZ. Imperfect Cell was nightmare fuel.
I discovered this thème Yesterday, i can't figure how i would react as a child with this music
"How...how many people?!"
"Enough"
Imagine cell driving a corvette with this blasting on max
General kenobi. You are a bold one.
A green Corvette
😂
Imperfect Cell was the scariest DBZ villains.
totally agree. I still remember my first time seeing him. I was like.....ewwwwww.....and then first time seeing him absorb....well. let's just say that sticks out in my mind as one of the most disturbing things the show has ever done.
Erick Warner same here
love the beat box theme it's so sinister
No shit Sherlock. Although super Buu would be #2, imperfect cell takes the cake. He's like a Saiyan zombie.
That episode shows into persective how television has changed.. nowadays any show with an episode like that doesn't even get broadcasted until atleast 9pm in the evening.
Not even, when frieza became final he was terrifying
RIP Toriyama! Thank you for basically main streaming one of my favorite things in life.
Well that's f*cking ominous O.o
No Bruce falconer
This track is so terrifying and crude that it doesn’t sound like it would fit into dragon ball, but it does so well
When Cell comes through, you know you're screwed. A being of pure evil, comprised of all the cells of the strongest fighters in the present universe. That, on top of the multiple forms, made Cell a really well-done and memorable villain.
This is the type of dude you have to watch out for when you drop the soap
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Cell: My name is Cell. I am an android.
Piccolo: Y...you're an android?!
Cell: I am the single greatest achievement of my creator, Dr. Gero!
Piccolo: As I should've known...
Imperfect Cell was the most intimidating out of all his forms. I was even a bit creeped out when he made his first appearance many years ago on TV absorbing his final victim of Ginger Town.
Cell: Do you feel it piccolo? It's weight...its girth?
Piccolo:How...HOW MANY PEOPLE!?!?!
Cell:...Enough...
Yup
You can't even fathom the amount of dead men behind me.
Look I don't know what you're on about with this family nonsense but if you're here because of gero, I 86'd him myself, so why don't we cancel these family matters, shelf the photo album and-
Perfect Gojira 5 tfs my dude! Good taste.
This.
"when a bee loses its stinger it dies...when I lose a stinger, I grow a new one..."
Cell is potentially the most dangerous villain in DBZ. Since he inherits all of the Z fighters cells and abilities, he is more skilled than Buu and can always get stronger through Zenkai boosts.
Warp2567 and can absorb beings with his tail like he did with the androids to get a major power boost
Buu's regen is on the level of deadpool in that even if you vaporize every molecule of him, he comes back alive through some other means. So Buu never really dies. But let's be honest, the more Cell fights, the stronger he will become. He could become a SSJ3 if he trained like Goku/Vegeta, plus all of the skills and abilities from other Z fighters.
Cell does Solar Flare + Solar Kamehameha = instant win.
***** Well he was a big blob of gum.
Warp2567 Buu becomes more powerful the longer he fights and with the angrier he becomes, don't you remember? Fat Buu's strength was increasing the longer that SSj3 Goku was stalling him according to Piccolo. Its the main reason Super Buu was as powerful as he was. The evil energy inside of Fat Buu became too radical for him to control since it was a tug of war battle between the good and bad. When Good Buu & Evil Buu separated, the Evil Buu recombined with Good Buu only this time around the Evil and angry side of the personality was suppressing the sweet and innocent side which is what made Super Buu so strong.I can't really see Super Perfect Cell matching up to a fully enraged Super Buu or even Kid buu for that matter.
Lord Bills I'm not so sure if I agree, Buu's power never really seemed to have any real limit.
17: so, where do we go from here?
Cell: Inside me!
17: Stop it!
Too bad Toriyama was told to change cell because his editors thought he was too creepy.
Imperfect Cell has had the most screentime, including History of Trunks.
Perfect cell has had far more screen time.
But then he wouldn't have the ability to absorb then... Then Freiza would be more terrifying.
Understandable, I can see why!
If I were him, I'd say to the editors: "Screw that!"
I think cell is the only creature that has no power peak. He can always keep getting stronger both by training, Biology, or eating people. Also he doesn't age meaning he's essentially immortal and i dont think disease would be a problem for him either.
He basically is a machine that can hold infinite power
Uhhh Majin Buu? The guy has been described as a vast bottomless well of power. Meaning he is ALWAYS getting stronger just by doing literally nothing.
@@arsenal4739 "CREATURE" lmao Buus an easy answer thats why i specified.
@@fatty1040 textbook definition of Creature: an imaginary or fictional being, typically a frightening one.
Buu is a creature. End of story.
@@arsenal4739 He's also a magic gumball sit down. We both know which appears more creature like. Im talking about cell not the easy answer Buu end of story 🤣
I had a nightmare about imperfect cell coming into my home after killing/absorbing everyone in my hometown. I was hiding under my bed when Cell crept into my house in the dead of night. I was crying but also holding my breath with all my willpower to make sure he didn’t know I was there. As soon as I thought he was about to leave, he turned and locked eyes with me and I woke up. I dreamt this when I was about 5. 20 years later and it still haunts me.
I had a similar dream, but more triumphant. 1st, he was only chasing me, 2nd, when there was nowhere else to run, I realized that if Cell was real, so was Ki, and I blasted him with a Kamehameha and woke up in a blue flash...
That's heavy! Dreams are crazy.
What the hell
That was dark
Damn what a crazy dream
The intro is so bad ass, it's like a creeping parasite that slowly take over your brain
imagine listening to this while you play dead space 😮
Perfect Cell: Swag King
Half-Perfect Cell: Looks like a dumbass lol
Imperfect Cell: *demon from hell*
Semi-perfect actually. Lol
@@stringsofnature4014pepe cell*
Bro Imperfect Cell straight up gave some terrifying all out bone-chilling serial killer vibes!
Ah yes this is much nicer how exhilarating!!!
I love all the forms of Cell. Imperfect Cell was literally like a parasite, where his only purpose was to become complete, he fed like a leech upon all of Earth until that goal could be achieved. This state shaped his attitude to survive as such, making him more cunning and sneaky as a result than a powerhouse that threatened to kill anyone who challenged him.
Semi Perfect was still sneaky, but he was desperate. Having a taste of completion made him like a cocaine addict, desiring more and more. Semi Perfect Cell has all the abilities as Imperfect Cell, but with a more durable and sustainable body, he's in an awkward state of living. Evolution is still his only goal.
Perfect Cell is the complete being, nothing more is needed other than self growth and a purpose beyond just survival. Now he's a sustainable being, no longer needing to feed off other living things, as such he's become cultured. However his ruthlessness will always be a part of him, shaped by his more primitive evolutions before him. He isn't a tyrant, but he has a far lower than average opinion to other beings than himself. Thirsting for a greater purpose, competition is all that is left to long for. Total dominion over evolution itself.
Perfect Cell is my favorite villain because he incorporates the theme of evolution with such a simple cruelty, it's really kind of true to how nature is in real life. It's cruel, harsh, and makes monsters and victims out of everyone. In this case the ultimate being, holding the top spot on the Pyramid. Over even the Z fighters.
I got eargasms from this masterpiece. Nothing competes against the classic late.90s/early.2000s dbz vibe.
Mr. Sandman
Bring me a dream and make him the cutest I've ever seen.
Tell him his lonesome nights are... over.
You skipped a line: "Give him two lips, like roses or clover".
this cell scared me more than perfect cell did is that a bad thing?
nop imperfect cell had scarier themes and his voice was empty and cold.
no I actually thought perfect cell was pretty boring
They should make a blue crystal cell, more spikey and have DNA from all the fighters, knowing all techniques of all the fighters, but he stays in this first form just with minor adjustments and being completely crystal like (diamond)
I also feel that way. It's like Cell got less scary with each transformation lol.
But also, you have to consider that Imperfect Cell protagonized disturbing scenes as fuck like drinking people while Perfect Cell even spared lives like Trunks.
best forms of cell in order
first form
perfect
second form
This cell seemed like a whole different character. Much scarier too.
I like how cell's subsequent transformations make him more humanoid. Also it seems its not just his power that increases but also his intelligence. Imperfect Cell is kind of simplistic and single minded whereas Perfect Cell is ruthlessly cunning
I find you everywhere
Imperfect cell smarter than perfect cell though...
Imperfect cell knew not to mess around and only fight when necessary technically the smarter thing to do is make sure you survive
Whatever added intelligence Perfect Cell had was weighed down by his Vegeta and Frieza personality quirks. lol
Yeah, it is done to mirror evolution. From simple life form to more humanoid and complex as he slowly becomes perfect.
best villain theme of the entire series
Welcome...to the Katz Motel.
Ironically Cell's first form is my favorite version of him.
I love imperfect cell's theme. It's so intimidating
Sounds a lot like Katz theme from Courage The Cowardly Dog.
***** a little
its does
It sounds like a tail contracting while someone's taking a diarrhea.
DalekN SpyCorps No...
Was that supposed to be a jab at the Faulconer score in general?
i loooooooove this form pure evil
hes just so calm and deadly
This theme is fire man! Cell is my favorite villian of all time!
you to my little peach I'm.going to gobble you up that crept me the fuck out
?????
Kane It’s one of his lines from an episode I believe where was almost going to absorb a kid and his mother?? I think, then Krillin stepped in.
Mine Too
Imperfect cell has to be one of the scariest anime villains ever.
Sends chill through your spine , when Piccolo informs 17 about cell & Cell is listening all that thing by standing on rock.
Kami: the androids are a threat, yes... but they are POULTRY to what I fear comes next...
Cell: hello...friend... aaaahhhhhh...
*Paltry.
Well that's fvckin ominous
Anyone else notice a HUGE tone shift here?
They're chicken to what comes next?
"Alright. So South City is to the north, North City is to the west, and East City is ... also to the north."
"Where the f*** am I?"
I actually had a nightmare 1st form cell absorbed me when I saw him drink people for the first time as a child... shit mentally scarred me yo...
same
Severe anal disappointment. still though... it's because of the psychological impact cell had on me that makes him my favorite villain. I've never been a fan of frieza, and there are very few villains before cell that I take an interest in...
When u think bout it, buu was cell 2.0
Why didn't you go Super Saiyan and kick his ass?
I like the humanoid reptilian insectoid design of this phase of Cell’s evolution
Cell will always be one of my favorite DBZ villains because of how Sci-Fi he is.
I'd pay for a book about Cell.
Legendary description
as ironic as this will sound i found imperfect cells personality and way of operating to be the perfect fit for the character as imperfect cell was devious he was sinister he was clever he was creepy or down right scary for some while semi perfect cell was just a smug jerk with a chip on his shoulder until vegeta showed up then he was a whiney bitch and perfect cell was just an arrogant asshole
If you watched Bleach, which villain would he share the most similarities with?
+Malthizar hmm can't say really I want to say aizen due to his cunning and intellect but that doesn't feel right
Stephen Craft Well if you saw Aizen in the earlier part of his reveal and watched him during his last fight with Ichigo, what would you think?
+Malthizar yeah actually the more I think about it it does sound right aizen and Imperfect cells characters had a similar personality at the beginning they were cautious cunning and smart but in the end they were arrogant rash and reckless which was both of their undoings
+Stephen Craft Little by little Cell was turning into Freiza and Vegeta.
"Once I revert to an egg, I must bury myself underground for 3 years...
There, my form matures..."
I remember when Cell first showed up calling Piccolo "Brother," it made me think he was another one of King Piccolo's spawns, like Tambourine, until of course we learned what his backstory was.
"My name is Cell...I am an Android."
It's stuck in my head now
Trunks : You're monster
Cell saga basically became a horror anime 😳
Semi perfect cell was too childish and perfect cell talked too much shit this cell meant business and would kill or feed on his enemies.
He creeps me out!😨🐍
Perfect cell thrashed nearly everyone tf you mean?
Did anyone else find imperfect cell more menacing and scary
Yeah. It makes you wonder if would you prefer to die from an energy blast or being stabbed and drinked from the inside.
Cell invented dubstep.
AAAAAANNDDD it is the only thing I resent about cell. . . Dubstep fucking sucks.
Imperfect cell is the epitome of a predator. Just hungrily stalking and feeding on all life that comes near so he can pupate into an even more deadly creature.
Don't be frightened piccolo....I understand. You sense my power and it's hard for you to bare.
Man. Imagine cell in real life...ugh...
We all gonna die.. There no use of fighting him..
u say that but imagine being c17 or c18
Your pfp is your face after you imagined it.
Don't say that man. I agree with other guy IF he existed, we're all be dead ASAP.
@@analyticalhabitrails9857 the karens would make their dome to protect themselves haha
A shame Toriyama's former editor during the time of the Cell Saga felt he was too ugly this version of Cell is a terrifying villain even for DragonBall standards and considering he has the cells of Frieza and his father imagine if HE appeared during the time of the Frieza Saga after drinking not only Earthlings of the future and some of the past, but Frieza Soldiers and Namekians including the downed forms of the Ginyu Force, screw Frieza, Imperfect Cell would've posed and even bigger challenge to Goku and that's not including if Cell absorbs Frieza via solar flare to blind him.
"Now that we have THAT vermin out of the way... You're next, Piccolo."
Probably the only scariest thing in dbz
+Paul Lancaster (Chief) Fat Japanese Majin Buu is creepy and Freiza was ominous until he went 50%
But Cell went around drinking people...
Dark Zelly Like a #Boss
Did you forget the time Super Buu jumped into a guy and inflated him until he literally exploded? That seems absolutely horrifying to me. Being concious as you are slowly being bloating until your skin and muscles can't handle the strain and you explode.
Frieza third form gives me nightmares aswell.
The reason this Form was so intimidating was he was almost desperate to becoming perfect he literally drinking every life form on the planet just so he had a chance against the Z fighters ruthless af
"YOU WANNA SEE ME DRINK THIS GUY?"
Remember the time I drank that guy... that was f**k'n weird!
Idk why this theme is sort of intimidating...
once i revert to an egg, i must bury myself underground for three years, there my form matures
Once I revert to an egg, i must bury myself underground for three years, there my form matures.
All these dragonball music remakers, and never one of those famous ones putted their Hands on Imperfect Cell's Real theme. Sad!!!
It's pretty unsettling that the bass is mimicking a heart beat...
what are you talking about
17: Why are you here?
Imp Cell: because bitch, I drink people.
Watching this in 2020 as Corona virus keeps absorbing more and more people... yum yum.
This theme hit so hard
Cell draining the Bio-Essence of the living until entire cities were ghost towns was a terrifying as a child
Still is
Imperfect Cell: "You wanna see me drink this guy?"
I can't forget that first scene with Cell coming out of the dark alley with that billionaire praying for his life in Cell's hand.
same
He never said that.
@@wanko7130it’s a joke
This theme is imperfect...yet, we can sense how much of a threat Cell is !
My name is Cell. I am an Android. I am the single greatest achievement of my creator, Dr. Gero.
The theme says a lot about the character. It sounds like muffled electronics, which Cell is an android who operates under the radar.
I like imperfect cell better.
imperfect cell is so fire 😭
All right so south city is to the north, north city is to the west, and east city isss.....also to the north. Where the BEEP am I!?
can't wait for the next episode
Your in the middle
*The scene where Cell chases the couple through the mirror maze, absorbs them and causes the distortion affect creeps me out EVERYTIME!!!!*
Love Imperfect Cell and love this theme, it conjures up imagery of this horrible creature lurking about and crawling through the shadows, waiting for the opportune moment to strike.
_''Ah yes, this is much nicer. How exhilarating!''_
The moment I knew Cell wasn't playing around.. absorbing that old guy in front Piccolo .. Scariest scene in DBZ no doubt!!
That description warrants a like on its own.
Honestly kinda cool how this much more edited extension of the song has practically become *the* recognized version of it, at least on YT.
wtf this is crazy good
I remember every time this appeared I was bobbing my head
@@Goku_Black122 ua-cam.com/video/SwsXlaxll_c/v-deo.html
"Ah yes this is much nicer, how exhilarating!"
Perfect cell theme: menacing cool sounds
Imperfect cell theme: people slamming cymbals
The best Cell theme. Prove me wrong.
Aight I agree that this form is one of the scariest but that aside can we please acknowledge how fire that beat is tho. Snare goes crazy 🔥🔥🔥
This and the super buu themes are the best villain themes from Dragonball z. PS this sounds a little bit like Katz theme from courage the cowardly dog and hip hop ish with scary melody.
I love how this theme still has coherence, but is also a random mix & match of stuff. Just like Cell.
Anybody here because of Katz theme on Courage the cowardly dog?
Imperfect cell creeped me out as a kid 😂😂😂
