But it's not his power I am talking about, the terror which I am reffering to are his spots!
Yes, it appears Cell is very well drawn character, but how would he look without the spots on his body? To put it simply, quite plain, very plain.
For the people that didn't know, one of Toriyama's regrets were the spots on Cell's body, it was, apparently, a mistake he wishes he didn't make, it took the blood and sweat out of him to draw all those spots, and he wished he never drew them in the first place, he actually drew the whole Cell arc and then went back and drew the spots on after, and this must have been a painfully boring task.
I myself can't even be bothered to draw Cell anymore, basically because I can't be arsed to draw the spots in after, and that's only for one picture!
So what do you think? If Toriyama never did draw the spots on Cell's body, would it have looked better or worse to you? I am very happy he did do them because looking at this picture I just edited, (and that took long enough!) Cell doesn't really look as good and detailed as he does with the body spots. So we are quite lucky he did make this mistake, because if he didn't we would have a very plain looking Cell!

Cell's reign was a terror to the planet, but to Akira Toriyama the only terror was his spots.
