But how can he come back? All versions of Cell are destroyed.
Actually... maybe not all of them. Here's what we do know about Cell and its(?) relation to each timeline:
1) Original Timeline- After killing
Trunks,
Cell takes the time machine and goes to Age 763 in the Main Timeline.
2) Unseen Timeline- Pretty much similar to the Main Timeline up until
Trunks decides to deactivate No. 17 and 18 in the Original Timeline after finding blueprints.
Trunks never returns to this timeline, since he was murdered in the Original Timeline, and we have no idea if this
Cell (larva form) ever shows up. Potentially, this
Cell could still show up 24 years later and attempt to find the Androids way after they've been defeated.
3) History of Trunks Timeline- Early history is similar to the Original Timeline.
Trunks returns from the Main Timeline after
Gohan defeats
Cell. He then destroys
Cell when it tries to take the time machine.
4) Main Timeline-
Cell is killed by
Trunks and
Krillin.
Cell is destroyed by
Gohan.
I color-coded the characters for their respective timelines. Trunks and Cell are most relevant here, though. I wrote the timelines in their "chronological order" of their creation. I ignored the plot-hole that
Cell mentions to Piccolo about Trunks.
Feel free to correct me if you see anything wrong.
