"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 is why his dad did not dare use this transformation. Then he lands, saying he is 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 had hoped it would be more fun. At God's Temple, 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 would not know unless he tried, and asks Cell why he wants to know. Cell says he has another question. "What is Son Goku doing? Why is he not here?" Trunks says Goku is currently training to defeat him, and he will appear to fight tomorrow. Cell likes that answer, and says he will 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 is going to revive that.

"However, your only opponent will be me. They will 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 will 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 people's faces. Trunks freaks out, and Cell says that is the look, then flies off. Trunks stands there speechless, until Kuririn and Vegeta arrive on the island and ask what happened.

Bulma tells Piccolo and Tenshinhan to stop just standing there and go help, or Trunks will die. Piccolo says it is okay, he has not been killed. Then he thinks he will 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 is no need for him or Goku[a], only he needs one more day in there. No. 16 limps over to them, saying he will 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 will take him. He tells Trunks not to worry, since he does not seem to be a bad guy. The two that got sucked up by Cell were not so bad either. They are much different from the future artificial humans that Trunks knows, and this is a time when it is 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..."

  1. In what is presumably an oversight, Vegeta says "Goku" here instead of the usual "Kakarrot".
