I just noticed something. How the hell did his shirt come back?

The idea that random Clothes Beams out of nowhere happen to regenerate shirts after badass clothing rips and Magic Pants situations is such a fun gag that it's a shame Dragon Ball would rarely have use of it, due to clothing damage always being consistent in this series (at least as far as I can remember).

And I know this isn't a new topic, but why is Cell 30% bug? Is he part Arlean?

Gero included the DNA of various lifeforms in order to complete Cell. The bug is most likely there so he gains their development/metamorphosis life cycle.

I wonder what kind of bug it is?

what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone else

Cell's design is pretty clearly based on cicadas. As for whether that's the actual insect DNA Gero used, who knows.

So Cell is a Bug/Fighting Type.

Cell is just a shiny Buzzwole.

He's not a bug, he's a feature.

This just makes me want Cell vs Ash more.

The joke...what?

But there's only one opponent...and he never loses until the end.

Doesn't matter. If there's a tournament, it's a Law of Nature that Ash cannot win it (filler arc notwithstanding).

Yeah, but Cell will wind up inexplicably having a team full of Legendaries anyway.

Unless they are trolling, this means no One Punch Man, altough according to the replies, Superman might be on the table.

Good. Saitama is not reconcilable with the concept of the Cell Games. One of two things would have to happen: either he violates the concept of the short by actually winning and thus screws up the narrative of the Cell Games, or the short violates the concept of OP Man by having Saitama lose.

Kenshiro should be the closest Cell comes to actual defeat in these shorts. It was a great subversion of expectations which made it hilarious, but it's now also a joke that's already been done. Saitama's even less flexible than Kenshiro in that he basically does not work as a character if he's not curbstomping. That's his entire concept. Obliterates the foe in one punch.

They could theoretically do a joke like they had here where Cell just regenerates from the punch, but again, that joke's done already. Worse still, that wouldn't actually beat Saitama, because he's handled regenerators before. We can assume that Kenshiro probably got blown the f*ck up offscreen after the short ended, but they would actually need to establish that Saitama is weaker than Cell to make that work, and that works for Cell but doesn't work for Saitama.

Does Cell know Instant Transmission? Because if so, he could quite easily take Superman.

Not at this point in time, and how exactly? Goku's teleportation requires time to concentrate and a ki signature to teleport to. Superman would just beat Cell down.

Superman doesn't really have anything to atomize Cell to kill him, though there's probably nothing stopping him from throwing him into the sun.

Step 1: Shake his hand before the match in good sportsmanship

Step 2: Teleport you and him both to anywhere far away from the sun.

Step 3: Hope his energy reserves don't hold out against a Kamehameha.
