Is Cell In Dragon Ball Super Hero
So, is Cell back in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero? The short answer is...sort of! It's a bit more complicated than just a straight-up resurrection.
Think of it less like a traditional "Cell is back" scenario and more like a science experiment gone wild. Remember Dr. Gero and his love for androids?
The Crimson Cell
Well, his grandson, Dr. Hedo, picks up the family business of mad science. Hedo, bless his quirky heart, is tricked by the Red Ribbon Army into creating new, powerful androids.
Must Read
These aren’t your average, run-of-the-mill robots. They are the new Gamma androids.
The real twist comes with Cell Max. Dr. Hedo was ordered to create a new, even more powerful version of Cell.
Bigger, Stronger, Less...Smart?
Cell Max is like Cell on steroids. He's HUGE, imposing, and incredibly powerful. He's basically a giant, crimson brute.
But here's the thing: Cell Max isn't quite complete. Due to the Red Ribbon Army's impatience, he was activated before his development was finished.
This means he's lacking the intelligence and cunning that made the original Cell so terrifying. He's more like a raging beast than a strategic fighter.
Imagine a toddler with the power to destroy a planet. Terrifying, right? But also kind of...clumsy.
Cell's DNA: The Gift That Keeps on Giving
So, while it's not quite the same Cell we remember, his DNA is definitely the foundation. Dr. Gero was nothing if not thorough in saving data on the Z fighters!
Cell Max essentially uses Cell's genetic blueprint as the core for its being.
It's like baking a cake using the same recipe, but accidentally adding way too much sugar. It's still technically a cake, but it's... different.
A New Threat, A Familiar Face
In a way, Cell Max allows the story to revisit some of the themes from the original Cell Saga. It revisits the danger of artificial life and unchecked ambition.
It reminds us of the legacy of Dr. Gero and the Red Ribbon Army, demonstrating that some evils just refuse to stay buried.
And it gives Gohan and Piccolo a chance to step up in a major way, and really shine in the fight.
This movie really is about legacy, and pushing past it.
So, Is He Really Back?
Ultimately, Cell Max isn't a return of the old Cell, but rather a twisted, amplified echo. He has the power and potential, but lacks the finesse.
He's more of a tribute act than a genuine resurrection. A chaotic, crimson tribute.
Whether that makes him a worthy successor is up for debate, but one thing's for sure: he brings the chaos and spectacle that Dragon Ball fans love.
And really, isn't that what we all want from a good villain?
