I personally think it would be really cool and interesting to see. Thoughts?

Maybe 17 can train Goten and Trunks to grow a few goddamn inches.

That would be a good idea for C17 to train Goten and Trunks, heck there are Cell Jrs also so why not have them all train together.
Cell Jrs has all the skills and knowledge of Cell, well except for Instant Transmission since Cell Jrs was born before Cell had it.

I wouldn't mind more interactions between these characters, but No.17 doesn't train. In the manga, his strength is partially justified by "domesticating" Cell Juniors, but he was merely doing his job. I don't really know what No.17 could teach Goten and Trunks even if he was enthusiastic about training, as his power isn't derived form the same source (cellular modification vs ki).

17 trains Goten and Trunks to protect the wildlife on the island.

During the training, they accidentally blow up the endangered animals. :lol:

I would prefer Piccolo doing it instead.

That would be cool too. I definitely wouldn't mind that.

Just like he trained Gohan earlier would be great I guess!

Actually, I take it back. I don't know that No.17 could do too much training in terms of combat, but to see him teach the kids how to protect the island...that could be good stuff. Presumably, this has already happened!

Both Gohan and Goku eat dinosaurs, so maybe we could see Goten's version of that!

Master Roshi and Piccolo are the major mentors of DB, but I think if 17 cared more he could fill that spot too.
"Don't take pleasure in destruction!" / "I will not let you destroy my world!"
A true hero goes beyond not the limits of power, but the limits that divide countries and people.
