A living superweapon so horrifying, it raises the Nightmare Fuel levels to the Max.
- Two words: CELL MAX. Imagine a Kaiju-sized clone of Cell possessing even greater raw destructive power than the original, but with none of the experience or intelligence to properly control it, and is completely berserk and uncontrollable. It's very similar to the Super Buu and Kid Buu situation where at least Super Buu and Cell had egos to play to despite their sheer cruelty; there's no reasoning to Kid Buu and Cell Max as they're completely unrestrained and animalistic. Understandably, Dr. Hedo was so terrified of Cell Max’s destructive potential that he deliberately designed him with an exploitable weak point as a fail-safe in case he was awakened prematurely. Even with that, it still took everything the Z-Fighters had, plus Gamma 2 performing a Heroic Sacrifice, in order to bring Cell Max down. Gohan comments that even Goku and Vegeta would have struggled to defeat him, and that's not even the worst of it. According to Akira Toriyama, had Cell Max been completed, not even them — plus Broly — would have been able to stop him. It would have probably required Beerus to do the job, and there's no telling what collateral damage would be involved before the God of Destruction finally got annoyed/bored enough to delete Cell Max with a Hakai.
- Hell, even Android 18 — who's usually The Stoic — was utterly terrified of seeing an even more destructive and mindless version of Cell being remade by the Red Ribbon Army, no doubt still struggling from the nightmares of being absorbed by the original all those years ago.
- The simple fact the Red Ribbon managed to rebuild stronger than before after Goku's rampage. Back in the day they were the strongest military force in the world, stronger than even the world government's royal army, and the most evil to boot... And now they're back, less numerous but with technology that far outstrips anything anyone not named Bulma has on Earth. And what's worse, nobody knows that. They could take the world by surprise if they didn't fear being wiped out by the Z Fighters...
- Though somewhat downplayed due to the bathos caused by his humorous facial expressions and silly poses, Magenta's death is actually quite horrific. Those silly faces and poses? That's his nervous system short circuiting as his organs shut down and effectively melt.
