[up]MMO, actually. Dragonball Online. Same as Mira and Towa, and pretty much everything from Xenoverse. So Heroes/Xenoverse might have Cell-X in at some point.

Might as well, didn't heroes introduce Time Breaker Bardock recently?

...So, wait, can Cell go Oozaru theoretically?

Is that possibly what Cell-X is?

Depends on whether his Saiyan cells include the ones making up those amazing tail glands.

And whether the hormone they produce would work on his body.

Huh... Even if you cut off Cell's tail, his Namekian skills would regenerate it.

I think I speculated once recently that Cell could use kaioken, Saiyan zenkai, and Namekian regeneration to basically get infinitely stronger.

Kaioken puts a strain on the body. So what Cell has to do is ramp it up so much it almost kills him. Then let himself recover. Then do it again. And again. And again.

If he can still self-destruct in Perfect form, he could just do that over and over.

Super Perfect Form. I think the "super" is important.

I mean. He didn't have either of the androids anymore. He spat up 18, and 17 died when he blew up.

...And, I mean. I think the self-destruct thing was him getting lucky.

Kaioken seems less risky.

Assuming he can actually ramp-up the Kaioken far enough to actually harm his body enough. Perfect Cell didn't get a boost from the Final Flash or Warp Kamehameha blowing off his head, and once he went super he's even more durable. And that's not even considering the theory that his Super is like Super Saiyan and maybe decreases the effect or occurrence of the boosts.

Super Perfect seemed more like Super Saiyan 2, what with all the lightning.

His Power-Weighted thing seemed like his Ultra/Grade 3 thingy.

The most likely reason Cell didn't just blow himself up several times to exploit zenkais that surviving just one self-destruct was a lucky fluke by his own admission.

Yeah. Unlike Buu - and despite what the English dub claims to the contrary - Cell can't merely regenerate From a Single Cell. He has a very specific piece of his body that he regenerates from, and if that piece is destroyed, he's toast. That his core nucleus was miraculously undamaged is the reason he was able to survive his self-destruct; there's no guarantee he could do that again.

Well, that core is in his head, and he had no problem regenerating from having his torso blown up...

So yeah, inconsistent.

Maybe the reason he was so surpried that he survived was because he was completely wrong about the location of his core.

What does that even mean?

Is it "crotch"? Is "other head" a term for crotch now? To go with damn near every noun in the English language?

Yeah, this has been a thing for a while. Dick head. Bell end. Helmet. etc.

Maybe that's why his crotch is the same as his mouth!

It's a plothole, but the way I explain it is:

1) Cell's nucleus is strong enough to regenerate his entire body if it is the only thing left

2) Cell is still able to regenerate without it (and in the process regenerate the nucleus) but not nearly as well. That's why restoring half of his body was so taxing.

Hey guys, guess who's appearing in the upcoming DBZ 3DS game?

He's in the top mid-to-right corner...

I have always been of the opinion that Imperfect Cell never had the extreme healing factor he attained in his Perfect form. If Imperfect Cell had been hit by that one Kamehameha I think that would have been the end of him.

stingerbrg Since: Jun, 2009
#10499: Mar 23rd 2015 at 9:51:41 AM

You mean the extreme healing power Semi-Perfect Cell had. Because he wasn't Perfect when he blew up.

@Eriorguez: That's kinda why i liked the dub explanation, since we did see Cell get his head destroyed.
