If we apply the boosts we've seen from Goku+Vegeta+Freeza to Cell's potential, then his theoretical power is absolutely staggering. Consider the following...

Upon his resurrection in RoF, Freeza explicitly stated that he was WEAKER than he was in the Namek saga -- but just by spending four MONTHS 'training' with(really just beating the crap out of) Tagoma on some remote planet, his power skyrocketed to SSB-level. After the events of RoF, Freeza then increased his power astronomically while he was trapped/cocooned in Hell, just by *thinking* about fighting Goku(ie. image training)... His power had increased so much, in fact, that he was now EQUAL to 'FP'SSB Goku at the start of the ToP... And by that time Goku had: trained in the RoSaT for THREE dayS/YearS(which increased his power "A LOT"), received multiple zenkais from his battles in the U6/U7 Tournament, AND received even more zenkais from his battles with Black and Zamasu... Not to mention that he'd also been training with Whis in his free time, lol.

That said, can you even imagine the type of power Freeza could attain if he were given THAT much time to train, had the proper motivation TO train, AND had an adequate training partner..? Truly unreal.

...And that's *just* Freeza. Now consider what Goku and Vegeta were able to accomplish just by 'hyper-exerting' themselves in the ToP for UNDER AN HOUR, lol.

Stack ALL of that potential, and we begin to see what Cell is theoretically capable of. I-N-S-A-N-E.




Imo, the only character who *might* have a theoretical potential =/> Cell's, is Pure Boo(and by extension, Oob.) As is the case with Freeza, Pure Boo presumably never trained a day in his life -- he was just a naturally powerful entity that rampaged around the universe, whimsically destroying everything he came across. Despite never training at all, however, Pure Boo was still SSJ3-level+, had an uncanny ability to adapt on the fly in the heat of battle, AND possessed nigh-unlimited stamina. Imagine if HE inextricably 'buckled down' and seriously trained for a while? Crazy concept to ponder, right there.... And that level of haxx theoretical potential is the only reason why I can accept that Goku would still be excited at the prospect of training/fighting Oob by the time of the 28th WMAT -- just imagine what the kid might be able to achieve under Goku's tutelage. :shock:
