If Trunks and Krillin didn't destroy Dr Gero's supercomputer

Post by EXBadguy » Fri May 15, 2015 9:42 am

There'd be more chaos then before. Present Cell would appear, preform massive destruction, then finds Future Cell along, they become best friends, one absorbs 18, other absorbs 17, both fused together, and becomes perfect, but WAY stronger.

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.

Seeing Cell with Buu's cells would be interesting, and effing scary. However Goku would have SSJ3, and there's still the fusions. Things would still work out in the end.

But present Cell wouldn't be born until like 27 years after or something.

As pointed out by Angelus, it would have been years before Present Cell appeared. And by the time he appears, the Z-Fighters would be more than ready for him.

I disagree. As Angelus reminded us, there'd still be 27 years before Cell is born. That means he'd have added Perfect Cell, Kaioshin, Dabura, Fat Buu, Beerus and Whis' cells. This means something as strong as or stronger than SSJ3 Goku would be born instead of Imperfect Cell and it would have the knowledge of how to tap into his ki in the same way that Gods do. If someone weaker than (Buu Saga) SSJ turns into SSJ God, imagine how powerful something on par with SSJ3 would become when using "God ki."

Cell would've died when Buu blew up the Earth and who knows if he'd count as "good" enough to be one of the people resurrected at the end of the arc.

At that point he's still an embryo, though. He's not even sentient yet, let alone evil.

I thought Piccolo destroyed the drone Dr. Gero used to collect the cells

I doubt that was the only one, and if it was Gero was really a gargantuan dumbass.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

I don't see how fetus-Cell's survival changes the fate of Future Cell? He would've been killed by Gohan anyway. The question is indeed whether Buu/Beerus/etc cells would've been added essentially creating stupidy-powerful version in 27 years.

This is also a good question for the original present timeline (the one we don't see but was created first when Future Trunks went back in time). Especially as there's no Future Cell there thus no additional power-ups because of him. Quite likely that Babidi/Buu would've simply won.

I've always said if Cell ever returns, it shouldn't be the Future Cell we're familiar, but the one that Krillin and Trunks "killed." There are so many ways to get that to work and make him a new villain, rather than just Cell from the Android saga again.
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

Well even if Cell was restored after Kid Buu destroyed the planet, and he did somehow manage to obtain the cells of Beerus and Whis, I doubt he would be much of a threat to the Z-Fighters until he reaches some level of perfection. Unless he really goes out of his way to be unnoticed, I'd say someone will eventually sense him and trash him.

Every living organism has cells. Buu's supernatural abilities and mystical origins don't make him exempt from the laws of nature.

Well I figure he's more of a magically animated blob of pink goo than a proper biological organism.

I would imagine that Cell would have a DNA limit to his creation. I think he could have the DNA of Dabra, Buu, and Beerus. If his Gero's computer is still watching and tracking things down then Cell would be a total beast in 20 years from now.

He's exempt from the laws of physics. I don't see why nature would be any different.
