Cell's fingers

Post by Super Sonic » Sat Mar 13, 2004 12:39 am

I hope this doesn't make me look like a weird nerd, but did anyone else notice that in his first form Cell has 3 fingers and after absorbing 17 and becoming complete he does have 5 fingers?

Yes, I've noticed that too. In the anime, he always has five fingers though no matter what from he's in. I guess the animators didn't wan't to bother with remembering how many fingers to draw everytime they did Cell. 8)

Same with Piccolo, who had 4 fingers in the manga and 5 in the anime.

Didn't we have this conversation less than month ago? Or am I confused.

We did. It happens. I know we haven't said so much that there's nothing left, so come on and think harder, people!

Well, I'm not one to talk considering the fact that I've barely raised any points at all...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure all Namekians have 4 fingers in the manga. Not sure about King Piccolo though. Here's something to ponder, did Piccolo (jr.) have 4 fingers when he fought Goku? Did Toriyama really pay that much attention to it?

Every panel in the manga concerning a Namek, Piccolo Daimaou, or Piccolo JR, has them drawn with four fingers.

Well, I think. At least all the panels with Piccolo do. So nyah!

No, you're correct Dai, they all have four fingers.

In volume 13 of the manga there's a panel where King Piccolo has 5 fingers in fact underneath it there is a line that says, "He grew a finger."

I really don't get the point of a Cell's fingers topic but ow well.
In all fact I really don't pay much mind to thier fingers. I pay much mind to thier fighting and story line.
