Could Cell have turned Oozaru?

Post by Tenshinhan-san » Thu Apr 22, 2010 8:59 am

Not sure if this question has been asked before, but with a (fake) moon I think it shouldn't have been impossible. Cell had Saiyan DNA and even a tail. Creates a weird image in my head though, wonder how that would have looked.

There is nothing to suggest he couldn`t so...

They had this question on the podcast before and my vote goes to if there was still a moon, and te fight lasted into the night, he could have done 'something' with blutz waves.

This would make a great what if transformation for a game.

He doesn't have a Saiyan tail.
No.

The genetic makeup of his tail is a mix between sayan, freeza`s race and whatever else went into him. So it is partly, at least, a sayan tail.

If the moon still existed...what if Cell absorbed it through his tail?! :shock:


Being that this is Dragon Ball, anything is possible.

I'm going to use the idea that his DNA was gathered from only tail-less Saiyans as the explanation for something this stupid never happening.

But it's DNA, so it would already be encoded in their genes. You can't just get rid of DNA by yanking off someone's tail.

I'd say it could be possible, but of course Piccolo blew up the moon, so we'll never know. Perhaps that's for the best though.

You'll accept that Cell's genes give him strength and special moves it took the other fighters years to develop, and that he is able to transform by swallowing a human girl in a way that allows him to throw her up, entirely whole, later? But all of a sudden tail-less DNA is too ridiculous?

Okay, guy. Whatever.

I don't think he could. It's a useless transformation, so I think he was programmed/grown in a way that would prevent him from transforming.

Wow that drawing is pretty freaking awesome, I second that you should color that picture. I say he would be able to transform but of course he didn't ever see a need to because he was already stronger than all the other fighters so Oozaru wasn't necessary.

Unnecessary, perhaps, but would becoming ten times stronger really be useless? ;)

Any ol' tail won't do it, he needs a Saiyan one.

Did anyone ever try squeezing his tail? Man, it'd suck if that worked and they totally overlooked it. :lol:

Android 16 did a lot better than that... he yanked it right off his body. :P

Yes, because it's like saying well 1+1 could be 3. On top of that even if tail-less DNA were possible, Cell also consists of Cells from Nappa if I'm not mistaken. Nappa never lost his tail.

I think the Saiyan DNA argument kind of beats that.

Also, you might think the idea is either cool or ridiculous, but I think at the very least it's a much more interesting/creative what-if transformation than SSJ3 Vegeta/Broly (even though they are kinda cool).

BTW I really like your drawing rereboy and I agree it needs coloring. My imagination of that transformation looked a lot more chaotic, lol

This would be the third best what if transformation ever. After Cellin and Oozaru Nappa. Also Yamhan if you count him, because he was 100% new for the series, unlike Gotan.
Oh, you think the Grand Tour is your ally, you merely stepped into the Grand Tour. I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn’t see the Super until I was already a man; by then, it was nothing to me but blinding!

It's not mine. I found it in some random internet place.
