What theme would fit the best for Cell?

Post by Steven Bloodriver » Fri Sep 16, 2016 5:16 pm

Like a theme song I suppose, but one that truly describes how dangerous he is to anything and anyone.

There's just something about "One Of These Days" by Pink Floyd that really seems to scream "Cell" to me. I'm gonna go with that!

Hate to say it, but I just find "Stronger" by Kanye West to fit Cell in some weird way. I just can't place my finger on my why. Maybe the smugness and arrogance of the song just kinda relates to how Cell character is. I dunno. It just gels for me. :)

I'm sure it does thanks to a particular music indecent. :lol:

I don't want Cell to have a theme that's not Kikuchi. Kikuchi was able to compose great themes for everything Dragon Ball including Cell and I personally don't think there needs to be a different theme.
"All of you. All of you must have KILL all the SEASONS!" -Dough (Tenshinhan), Speedy Dub of Movie 9.

"My opinion of Norihito's Sumitomo's new score is... well, very mixed. The stuff that's good is pretty darn good, but the stuff that's bad makes elevator music sound like Jerry freaking Goldsmith." -Kenisu

It's awfully narrow-minded to think that Kikuchi is the only possible choice.

...that being said, I can't think of a non-Kikuchi theme that I'd want.

Technically, that material was composed for movie villains (Meta Cooler and the movie Androids specifically). Cell never really had a proper theme composed specifically for him in the original score.

I'm normally not much of a Bruce Faulconer fan, but Team Four Star's remix of his Funimation theme is pretty great.

This theme fits the sinister aura of Cell the most: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91-l_XAhue0

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

That's one of my favourites! Especially the live version from Delicate Sound of Thunder.

As for Cell, nothing tops M1308 I just cannot imagine any other music piece playing, when I think "Cell".

Actually... I realize Godsmack - Awake is the best fit. It catches the essence of Cell in his incomplete stages.

I think The Man Called "C" from the first Budokai that plays during the final battle with Cell fits pretty well.

Looks like Dragon Ball has its own "Darude - Sandstorm". :P
Thanos before Thanos was cool.

Terrible joke. I really like this theme :(
It's like Goku's DBS theme to me.

Just look at this and tell me it isn't badass Cell at his finest. At least when it comes to Perfect Cell, I think "News of the Cell Games" is by far the most fitting. Plus the song is pretty cool by itself!
These insert songs are like one of the only reasons I watched Kai in Japanese in the first place.
