History Headscratchers / DragonBallZAndroidAndCellSaga

** Because he was in his Perfect form. He no longer had need of his tail, and his facial structure was humanoid enough for him to eat it with his mouth.
* Sorry if this has been answered somewhere else, I haven't watched Z in a while, but here's something that bothered me. So once Piccolo fused with Kami, the dragon balls became useless since Kami was for all intents and purposes dead. So they get Dende to become the guardian of the Earth and create new ones/reactiate them. Okay, fair enough, but why didn't Piccolo do that. The fusion gave him Kami's memories, including how to create new Dragon Balls, and he's a lot stronger than Dende, meaning Shenron would be too.

** Because he was in his Perfect form. He no longer had need of his tail, and his facial structure was humanoid enough for him to eat it with his mouth.

* Why did Cell eat the senzu with his mouth, when it been shown he eats with his tail?

* How come Cell (at least in the English dub of ''Kai'') says he can use his newly-learned Instant Transmission to survive destroying the planet? Instant Transmission requires the user to focus on a specific ki signature, and besides a {{filler}} scene where he punches a meteor, Cell has never left Earth, meaning he didn't know anyone he could lock on to.

###Is there any source GT is not canon? Akira Toriyama never discarded it from canon. It could just be set in a different timeline like Future Trunks story. He is canon ;)

*** Why not? Just because the sleek ice-lizard like design is a standard doesn't mean there can't be exceptions. Hell, Freeza even states that he can choose what a form looks like, even if it's his natural form due to their bio-suit/bio-armor- take Ressurection F; he purposely chose to make Golden Freeza, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Golden]] in order to make a mockery of the super saiyan transformation.
*** Considering his warnings about Beerus and Majin Buu, Cold is heavily implied to be wiser and more careful than Freeza. It could just be that Cold was being {{WrongGenreSavvy}}, and assumed Trunks would have simply killed him during the lengthy transformation process. ... then again, considering this is [[PragmaticHero Trunks]] we're talking about he was probably right. In which case, going for the sword was a pretty reasonable strategy given the information he had. He just didn't realize he was screwed regardless. If he ''could'' transform just imagine how screwed Earth would have been if he'd been fighting Vegeta or Goku instead. They probably would have flat out told him to do it before he even mentioned anything about it.

** Yes, DubInducedPlotHole. Instant Transmission's original name is Instantaneous Movement. Both say the same thing: it's moving in a literal ''instant''; not at the speed of light, but infinitely faster. Additionally, all of the spacefaring ships in Dragon Ball Z move ''far'' faster than the speed of light (Kami's ship took seconds to get to Jupiter from Earth, despite light taking 35.7 minutes to cross that distance; that ship then took about a month to get to Namek, and Goku's ship was about 4 times faster). Instant Transmission moving at the speed of light would, honestly, be really shameful.

* Why didn't Piccolo do anything to stop Cell from sucking the man out from his clothes? He just stood there in fear and did nothing to stop Cell. Why didn't Piccolo do anything to stop him and save the man's life? Was he too scared to do anything or was he frozen in fear? Why didn't he stop Cell?

* It is repeatedly stated that androids don't have chi. If that is true, then how can they use KiAttacks? I can kinda understand Android 16, since his ki attack is in the form of energy cannons he has for biceps. But 17 and 18 seem to use regular KiAttacks like everybody else despite lacking ki. What the hell?

** The restriction is that Shenron can't bring back someone who's already been wished back to life; it doesn't matter by whom.

* When the Z Fighters were getting beaten by the Cell Jrs, Gohan said that other than Trunks, none of them could be revived with the Dragon Balls. While this is true for Goku, Vegeta and Krillin who have been revived by Shenron once already, this is not the case for Piccolo, Tien and Yamcha as they were revived by Porunga. So , shouldn't Shenron be able to revive them as well? Or can Shenron cannot revive anyone who has died and be brought, even if they were not brought back him?

* When they wish back everyone killed by Cell, should Android 17 have qualified? Android 18 was alive and relatively unharmed when Cell spit her out, and that's after he's endured a chunk of his body being torn out by the Final Flash, and the top half of his body destroyed by Kamehameha. If that didn't kill the androids inside of him it suggests they're bonded on the cellular level. So shouldn't that mean Android 17 would be alive as long as Cell was, meaning he would've been killed by Gohan instead of Cell?

** There's also the fact they were created to fight Goku and the rest. In Trunk's timeline, the gang had no knowledge of an upcoming threat so any training wasn't as motivated or intense so they would have had more off time and wouldn't have gotten as stronger. Old Time Line Z-Fighters simple weren't as powerful as New Timeline Z-Fighters. Thus Old Timeline Androids were weaker than New Timeline Androids

*** Why not? Just because the sleek ice-lizard like design is a standard doesn't mean there can't be exceptions. Hell, Freeza even states that he can choose what a form looks like, even if it's his natural form due to their bio-suit/bio-armor- take Ressurection F; he purposely chose to make Golden Freeza, well, [[ExactlyAsItSaysOnTheTin Golden]] in order to make a mockery of the super saiyan transformation.

** Even if they ''did'' know where New Namek was, how were they going to get there? It would have taken more than 4,000 years to reach Old Namek with the fastest human spaceships, according to Bulma, and the only ships that went any faster that were on Earth were Goku's leftover space pod, which Dr. Briefs modified, and Kami's ship. None of those were on Earth anymore when the Androids showed up. Even the pod Goku returned in was wrecked when he landed it. So, strange as it sounds, it might have actually have been easier for Bulma to build a time machine than a spaceship.
