By the end of things he seemed convinced that it was his destiny to destroy all life in the Universe. Gohan probably speed up the process, but he probably would have gotten to that point on his own after he was done killing everything on Earth.

He said it himself, there was nothing he enjoyed more than seeing the look of fear on people's faces at his power before he kills them.

But we're not talking about that, though.

We're talking about him going suicidal in the face of getting owned. I'm wondering how much weight on him the whole 'he got owned by a nine years old kid' thing has.

Yeah, I just realized that I somehow glossed over that. But in light of his primary motivation and personality, I'm going to go with "no" on that front. Nothing about Cell screams graceful loser.

Yeah, no, I don't think it'd go that far either... but then again, I'm not sure he'd go suicidal if Gohan didn't make him vomit out 18...

I don't think Cell could deal with facing he's not perfect under any circumstances. So, yeah, probably suicide every time.

That's a workable what-if.

What if Goku had cleaned Cell's clock and Cell graciously accepted defeat? Where does he go from there?

Gynecologist? Physical Therapist? Gen Urobuchi's biggest fan?

I don't know about that Cell is similar to Frieza and Vegeta in that he is only cool with fighting when he knows he has the advantage but when he is outmatched.....

The difference is: Would he gamble everything on one last desperate shot at killing Goku... or would he vow revenge at a later date and actually pull a Vegeta?

He is chock-full of Freeza's superiority, rather than Vegeta's. He broke down in exactly the same way Freeza did.

You know, Cell is super lucky to have Piccolo's regenerative ability combined with Freeza's ability to survive basically anything other than atomization. If he didn't, Vegeta's Final Flash would have certainly killed him or at least made him a lot less of a threat.

Add the Saiyan Zenkai to that list.

That's a terrifying combo platter of powers that could have only been surpassed by him wishing on the dragon balls to be immortal on top of that so he could abuse it as he sees fit.

Yes, Cellery is the weakest villain if he gets damaged by ol' Vegetarian of all characters...

[up][up] If Cell were made immortal, then he'd never get a zenkai because he'd never be brought close to death. Freeza's survivability is probably why he seemingly doesn't get a (presumably) zenkai until he gets reduced to a single cell.

Couldn't they use some gear like in Xenoverse instead of awkwardly just slapping a Dragon Ball on their chests?

So I can't find any translated versions of Super Vegeta Den and holy balls that is frustrate.

[up][up] In the manga, those dark dragon balls are an important part of Super DBH's story. They're what revived Mechikabura, it's what's making all the demons into demon gods, and they're also powering up anyone who absorbs them.

Essentially, everything's coming up Time Breakers.

I understand that,but it's such a crude way to put them on.Add a vest or something.I think there's an outfit in Xenoverse with a random Dragon Ball on it.Do it like that.

I think they're trying to convey it similarly to how the Shadow Dragons had dragon balls on them, except making it look more like an infection rather than it being natural part of the body.

Random thought I just had.

Where was Universe 10's God of Destruction when Beerus and Whis were popping in and out that place messing with time and murderstomping Zamasu before he could kill Gowasu?

Well, if Beerus and Champa are an example to go by, probably sleeping or scratching his balls.

Dragon Ball Super Chapter 19 is out in English.

Future Trunks Saga? More like the Vegeta Saga.

It amuses me how it's the exact opposite of the Anime.
