[up]Original what, though? You can't just make new DNA (or maybe Gero can, who knows).

Yeah, it's mentioned in a few places that Cell's absorption is related to Piccolo's Namekian fusion abilities.

Honestly, I was just BS'ing with some possible fanon.

10% Goku doesn't necessarily mean he's made of exactly 10 people, one of whom is Goku. Just that Goku's cells comprise 1/10 of his cells, by mass.

I have a message from another time...

[up][up] Well, Cell mentions it in Xenoverse, so.

I don't think anyone suggested he was made of exactly 10 people.

I get that the drinking people is related to Namekian Absorption, but where did the bug motif come from?

None of the Z Warriors have anything like that, thematically.

A cicada fell into the vat, and Gero didn't see fit to fish it out.

Gero used various insect lifeforms for an unexplained reason. The reason Toriyama would have done so was to just justify his design, but for an in-universe answer, I'd say it was necessary to give Cell the ability of metamorphosis.

I've never been a fan of the Krillin Owned counter, either. I'm just going to say a lot of TFS's old RunningGags just aren't that funny. But hey, Grandfather Clause and everything. They can't just retire it - it was what made it stand out in the first episode!

I think it should have been retired when Krillin was killed by Freeza like the Kaio-what joke was, it'd be fitting since you can't really top being killed on the Krillin Owned counter.

How many times does he get killed, again?

Three times in the main timeline. Four counting Future Trunks' timeline and five counting both it and GT.

He dies to one of Piccolo Daimaō's kids, Frieza and Buu.

I, personally, would like for them to retire "DODGE". It was never really funny to begin with.

I've noticed in Season 1 Gohan has a habit of saying "...what?" whenever Piccolo says one of his Running Gags. I don't understand why he does that.

I think they're planning to have the "DODGE" Running Gag end when Gohan fights Cell or something. Wouldn't be surprising if they did, right?

Could also use it for Piccolo/Gohan's absorption by Buu.If we get there.

Well, Gohan versus Cell and Buu has plenty of dodging on his part. Versus Buutenks, however, having him shout dodge would be the perfect way to depict the fabled mental warfare.

One of my favorite anime additions was that mental warfare yeah

I still like all the season 1 running gags. The Kaioken gag was retired around same time the Kaioken itself was retired in Dragonball. I predict the last use of the Krillin Owned count to be when Krillen gets his ass kicked by Kid Buu.

I like DODGE! Of course, it sould likely fall by the wayside once Gohan is a competent fighter in his own right.

What's funny is that, in canon, Piccolo complains that Gohan dodges too much and never attacks.
