Alternate way to defeat Cell?

Post by LeprikanGT » Sun May 01, 2011 4:46 pm

Would it have been possible for the Z warriors to throw #18 at Cell and then blast through her, hitting the bomb inside her and blowing him up? ...or was that bomb not as strong as the one #16 had inside him?

I realize he could regenerate but I'm sure everyone could have started blasting the tiny pieces before they grew into a full Cell.

I can't imagine anyone who was there to even think of doing that. But if they did, the explosion wouldn't be powerful enough to kill Cell. My opinion. :|

Just a thought while I was watching those episodes.

If anyone; I'd guess it would have been Trunks, before he died, or Vegeta.

Auto-destructions are much more powerfull than any other techniques. In fact Cell was quite scared when no.16 said he would blow himself with him, and is there any reason to think that no.17 and 18 have different bombs?

It's not so unlikely, after all Cell wasn't perfect anymore and still killed full-power Super Saiyan Goku...

I've always be confused about #17 and #18's bombs. Are they even mentioned before Kuririn wishes for the dragon to remove them? I mean, the remote was never meant to blow them up; it was meant to shut them down.

Nope. Apparently Kuririn just assumed that if No.16 had one, they would too. Or something.

Alternate way to beat Cell:

What if Krillin just used the Destructo Disk to cut off Cell's hands during the kamehameha duel?

What about the Z-Warriors join Gohan during the kamehameha duel then combining Gohan's kamehameha with Z-Warriors' ki blasts into a huge blast that kills Cell instead of Z-Warriors went to Cell then hitting Cell's back with their ki blasts in order to help Gohan win?

Vegeta perfectly hit Imperfect Cell with his Final Flash from lower ground than Cell stood.

Krillin had already previously tried to hit Cell with a destructo disc while 1.Krillin was at full strength and 2. Cell was weaker at the time.

I believe that was filler. Besides, he's not going to catch it if his hands are busy holding back a Kamehameha.

It is filler, although I don't believe Cell even catches it, it just hits him to no effect. Been awhile though.

Yeah, it hit his neck and dissipated afterwards.

Gohan was the one who caught the Kienzan's during his battle with Cell.

Lets make a time machine and tell Toriyama to use Krillin instead of Vegeta to save Gohan!

Damn. I never thought of this. You know the possibilities are endless. Good thing we have DB Multiverse. :D

Cell's immunity to Krillin's Kienzan may have been filler, but I don't think it's hard to believe that's what would happen if Krillin tried. Krillin wasn't much stronger from when he'd helped with Freeza in his 2nd form, and Perfect Cell was infinitely more powerful than that, let along Super Perfect Cell. I don't think it would have cut him, personally. Otherwise, you could argue that Saiyan Saga Krillin could cut Super Perfect Cell with a Kienzan.

I concur. I've always felt that, while there's no evidence for a Kienzan failing before, and that it's a good way to stop a much stronger opponent, it could very well fail against an enemy so powerful that his defense is greater than the damage threshold of the ki inside a Kienzan.

My idea was always similar to the Kienzan one, except it was aiming a Taiyo-ken at Cell's face during the struggle.

Although when I think about it now, I'm not sure if they could have blinded Cell without blinding Gohan as well.

We have also seen Goku (while he was not a Super Saiyan) cutting Gotenks-absorbed Boo with a Kienzan
