"Cell's Idea" is the three hundred and eighty-eighth chapter of the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. It was first published in Japan in the 1992 #39 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.

Summary

Cell says nothing comes of this transformation, and calls him stupid. Trunks realizes that's why his dad didn't dare use this transformation. Then he lands, saying he's an idiot, as Cell said. He powers down, and tells Cell to go ahead and kill him. Cell says okay, and holds out his hand. Meanwhile, Kuririn has landed on another island with Vegeta, and says Trunks' ki has gotten smaller, while Cell's is still huge. Kuririn gets worried, and wakes up Vegeta and feeds him a senzu. Cell tells Trunks that both he and Vegeta have disappointed him, and he'd hoped it would be more fun. At God's Palace, Bulma wonders if Trunks is still winning. Piccolo says perfect form Cell is amazing, and that Trunks will be killed.

Cell has a final question. He and Vegeta suddenly powered up greatly in a short time. Cell wants to know how. Trunks says nothing, so Cell changes the question. "If you had the time, could you go up even more?" Trunks says he won't know unless he tries, and asks Cell why he wants to know. Cell says he has another question. "What is Son Goku doing? Why isn't he here?" Trunks says Goku is currently training to defeat him, and he'll appear to fight tomorrow. Cell likes that answer, and says he'll hold a martial arts tournament in ten days, a great service to them all. He wants them to get stronger and make it fun. He explains to Trunks that there used to be martial arts tournaments called the Tenka'ichi Budōkai, and he's going to revive that.

"However, your only opponent will be me. They'll be one-on-one fights, and if I win, the next person steps up to fight me. You can have as many people as you want. If your numbers are higher, that will just be an advantage. You should gather as many as possible. When I know the location, I'll inform you. By television broadcast or something." Then Cell prepares to leave, saying to be sure to bring lots of senzu, and Trunks demands to know what his true purpose is. Cell says he pretty much just wants to test his own strength, and he has no interest in taking over the world or anything. Nor does he have much interest in killing Son Goku, the reason he was created. His greatest purpose is to see the look of terror on human's faces. Trunks freaks out, and Cell says that's the look, then flies off. Trunks stands there speechless, until Kuririn and Vegeta arrive on the island and ask what happened.

Bulma tells the two of them to stop just standing there and go help, or Trunks will die. Piccolo says it's okay, he hasn't been killed. Then he thinks he'll have to enter the Room of Spirit and Time next. Meanwhile, Trunks has explained everything, and Vegeta is pissed Cell is using them to play around. Trunks thinks they can maybe do it if they all enter the Room of Spirit and Time again. Vegeta says there's no need for him or Goku, only he needs one more day in there. No. 16 limps over to them, saying he'll enter the tournament too. He asks if someone will please take him to Capsule Corporation to be repaired. Trunks says no way, but Kuririn says he'll take him. He tells Trunks not to worry, since he doesn't seem to be a bad guy. The two that got sucked up by Cell weren't so bad either. They're much different from the future artificial humans that Trunks knows, and this is a time when it's good to have lots of strong allies. "The next day, there was a television broadcast that aired throughout the entire world. Everyone on Earth was certainly overcome with fear..."

 ==Summary==
-The next morning, Cell decides he'll make a ring for the tournament. It's a mostly empty place, except for a couple houses, but Cell blows those up, and makes a big portion of the land completely smooth and flat. Then Cell telekinetically lifts up a huge mountain, and cuts it up until it's a perfectly smooth cube. Then, still telekinetically, he slices the cube into tiles, then sends them all to the smoothed out area on the ground. Now he's off to a TV station. At Kame House, Kuririn and Yamcha are watching the weather, when the guy on TV suddenly starts screaming. Kuririn tells Muten Roshi that Cell is on the TV, and he and Chi-Chi come over to watch too. A crew guy yells into the camera to call security or the police, but then Cell kills him.

He powers down, and tells Cell to go ahead and kill him. Cell says okay, and holds out his hand. Meanwhile, Kuririn has landed on another island with Vegeta, and says Trunks' ''ki'' has gotten smaller, while Cell's is still huge. Kuririn gets worried, and wakes up Vegeta and feeds him a senzu. Cell tells Trunks that both he and Vegeta have disappointed him, and he'd hoped it would be more fun. At God's Palace, Bulma wonders if Trunks is still winning.

-"I will be interrupting your television for just a little while. Actually, I've brought splendid news for those who enjoy living in peace. News that should give your days even more joy and thrills. My name is Cell. I think you all know of the situation many days ago where numerous humans vanished at the hands of a monster. That monster has evolved and transformed into me. Thank you for giving me lots of bio energy back then. But it's alright, as I no longer need bio energy. Anyway, the splendid news is: nine days from today, M 17th, at noon, a martial arts tournament called the ‘Cell Games' will take place. The place is northwest of Central City, 28 KS Point 5. I've built a ring there." Tenshinhan, Piccolo, and Mister Popo are watching from God's Palace, on a little TV with a satellite hookup. "It's different from the Tenka'ichi Budōkai. The opponent you humans will fight will be me alone. There can be as many of you as you want."
+Cell has a final question. He and Vegeta suddenly powered up greatly in a short time. Cell wants to know how. Trunks says nothing, so Cell changes the question. "If you had the time, could you go up even more?" Trunks says he won't know unless he tries, and asks Cell why he wants to know. Cell says he has another question. "What is Son Goku doing?

He explains to Trunks that there used to be martial arts tournaments called the Tenka'ichi Budōkai, and he's going to revive that.
-"The way it works is, one of your competitors fights me, and when they lose, the next competitor takes their place. Thus, it would be an advantage for you to have greater numbers. Maybe I'll get tired if I have lots of matches. The rules are mostly the same as the Tenka'ichi Budōkai. Giving up, or any part of the body going outside the ring, is a loss. And, while I'll try not to, if you're killed, that's a loss too. Should all the competitors lose, I'll kill every single person in the world. I'll thoroughly make sure to not leave a single one, while taking a good look at the expression of fear in their faces." Vegeta, Trunks, Bulma, and Dr. Brief are watching from a lab where No. 16 is being repaired. "With that being the case, I want those with confidence in their strength to participate." Then Cell puts his hand against the wall behind him, and blows it up completely. Then he flies out of the building through the hole he made.
+"However, your only opponent will be me. They'll be one-on-one fights, and if I win, the next person steps up to fight me. You can have as many people as you want.

Trunks freaks out, and Cell says that's the look, then flies off. Trunks stands there speechless, until Kuririn and Vegeta arrive on the island and ask what happened.
-At Kame House, Kame-Sen'nin thinks he's incredible, while Kuririn thinks of what he said about killing everyone in the world. Yamcha wonders who could possibly stand up to him. Vegeta and Trunks couldn't, not even Goku could. At Capsule Corp., Vegeta is taking off his shirt, and Bulma asks where he's going. He says he's going back to the strange room, of course. Vegeta says he doesn't know about Earthlings dying, but he won't be satisfied if he doesn't kill Cell. Trunks says he'll go too, and Bulma says she'll give him a haircut before he goes. "Cell's speech has now created tremendous fear throughout the world. Once again, the world has been weakened by peace, and the army and the police don't know what to do about the enemy that has appeared before their eyes. The people have forgotten about the small boy that fought Piccolo Daimaō long ago. And the people didn't know about the warrior who fought the Saiyans or Freeza. About Son Goku's existence."
