DBZ - Perfect Cell

Postby Lunis » Sat Feb 28, 2004 7:54 am

I just couldn't stop myself from making this thread. This thread is about Cell and why we love him. Not a Cell fan? Please don't post here saying you don't like him. It really disappoints me, and this was made to discuss his coolness. I am totally obsessed with Cell, even after all these years. I will forever love him. He's awesome! Come Cell fans! Please post here! :hug:

Cell was pretty good as a ultimate baddy. Though i liked his original design much better then his perfect form. on a side note. i hated his little blue clones, that was kind of dumb, but Cell in general is a cool charicter. I just wish he had his own personal special attack instead of just useing everybody elses. oh on another note he did have a well done bad guy voice.

I'm not really a Cell fan, but I don't dislike him, and I'll remain positive here.

I liked the original design a lot (until it opened its mouth). I'm impassive about Perfect form, but anything is better than the second stage.

The best thing about Cell? The fact that he has a good reason to be powerful, unlike Buu. He's a combination of all the other warriors, and such genetics would certainly create a powerful fighter. How do you match ultra powerful heros? Villains made of those heroes.

By large Cell is also decently intelligent, which is good. I like my villains smart as opposed to imbecilic.

I personally thank Cell for pushing Gohan into the second stage of SSJ. XD XD XD

Anyway, yeah, Cell is one of the best baddies. He's even smart enough to play on Vegeta's pride to help himself attain the perfect form--that was cool. I like Vegeta, but he really needs someone to deflate his ego once in a while.

Go Perfect Cell!!

Yeah, Cell is one of the coolest of all of the major DBZ villians.

True. That's probably one of his best moments.

You know, I think I'd have to call him the coolest major DBZ villain. I hadn't exactly considered the issue before.

I am relatively certain this is due to the alignment of the planets.

I quite liked Perfect Cell's appearance and Basi Cell. I HATED Super Cell. He looked daft.

I think Cell probably was one of the more conniving of evil villains.

Vegeta was an a pompous fool.
Frieza was just mad
Dr Giro.... Nuff sed
Buu was strange
Kid Buu was psychotic.

Cell was a bad guy who thought his plans through (though I admit Bad Buu did too with his idea of eating Piccolo) he was by far one of the more intelligent bad guys I've seen in DBZ.

Lol, I am immune to UC's witty comebacks. I actually fished that out of him for all to enjoy. *grin*

The Cell saga is the best DBZ saga, IMHO, it has the whole timeline bending and *both* Goku and Vegeta beaten into the ground (and Goku dying--once again).

But just for the sake of arguement, Super Buu was a pretty smart villan too. Planning things out to absorb (what's with these villains and absorbing??) Gotenks and Piccolo then finally Perfect Gohan (I recall the japanese actually naming his action figure that).

Here's a question... if Super Buu and Cell were equal in strength, etc... who will absorb who first? (not counting that Buu has a easier way of absorbing people)

I meditated atop Mount Everest for 23 and 1/2 days while balancing atop a stack of ramen noodles.

Doesn't the nature of this question intrinsically remove any way one could first absorb the other?

But... I'd say Cell. Because in DBZ power ultimately boils down to whoever is cooler at the moment, and I think Cell is overall cooler. Then again, I might also have to go with whoever appeared second.

That's a hard question. But I'm not sure if Cell would really want to absorb Buu. For the first and shallowest reason, he's pink! :sweat: Also, the reason Cell doesn't have Trunks' cells is because Dr. Gero thought Cell had enough, already. (It's been a long time since I've seen the Imperfect Cell Saga. Correct me if I'm wrong.) :forehead: I forgot where I was going with that. Forget that reason. Is Buu even absorbable? He's practically a pile of goo! And if they're equal in power, I'm not sure he'd feel the need to absorb Buu. He could just out smart him :cool: .

Okay, now that was all beside the question. I really don't have a clue, but I think Cell could be trickier. I vote Cell :sweat: .
