Hesring his muffled screams and seeing his struggling as he fights for his life, and seeing his body move through cell was truly a terrifying experience as a kid.
Its pretty much being swallowed whole by a snake minus the snake suffocating you until your unconscious first. You are a aware while your being absorbed. That's the terrifying part for me.
What makes it especially scary is you NEVER see what exactly happens to 17 or 18 once Cell gets them in his tail. At least with the likes of Buu, the people he absorbs are all wrapped up in pods inside him. With Cell, you NEVER really know what exactly happened to 17 and 18 once they entered his body.

the reason they cant do anything when a character or villain is powering up is because they have an energy barrier around them that protects them against any attacks someone might try on them. the perfect example of this is when trunks tried to blast semi perfect cell when he was transforming into perfect cell. the only difference is that you can see that barrier

Fun fact his voice only changes in the Dub since in OG voice never changes in the Japanese version. Shout out to the clever idea they made for him here.
The so-called “chasing perfection” arc where cell is first introduced to the cell games is genuinely peak fiction. I enjoyed it more than any other arc in the series and franchise, including the cell games. This moment was insane, and this arc had so many like it.
Even the lead up. An old time machine, a mysterious egg and molt, people missing but their clothes are left. Up until then, we are just thinking, "Oh no, the androids are tracking down Goku." Then we see that and realize something far more sinister is lurking behind the scenes.
This terrified me when I saw this as a kid. The claustrophobia, The sounds he was making, the muffled screams, the terrifying amount of power that you had to deal with. I'm almost embarrassed but it really did scare me.
For those commenting on "Why they don't do anything to prevent it" ... This is just our perception. For the Characters this is all happening way faster. We see that thing from the perspective of 17, Cell, 16, Tien, Goku etc. ... this adds up for our "screen time" ... but "in real" this happened within seconds.
They have tried. When Frieza was transforming they blasted him and it did nothing. When Cell was transforming into Prefect Cell Trunks tried several times to stop him. Even when the Saiyans power up you can can't get near them or hits have no effect. People don't understand they are shelling out a Tremendous amount of power transforming and it pretty much makes them untouchable until it's finished
Yep. You're spot on. It might have been obvious to us(the audience)what's happening, but for all our heroes know, this came out of nowhere(well except for 16), thus catching them completely off guard and giving them no time to react.
0:40 - 0:50 Not gonna lie, that was possibly one of the most chilling screams I have ever heard 💀💀💀 The music was awesome. It was perfect for the scene. Cell was horrifying!
Its scary if u think about it their are technically 3 Cells one in the main timeline thats still a fetus. The one we see here is from the Future Timeline and the 3rd is from Trunks Alternate Timeline AKA The one from the History Of Trunks Special. And to think all this happened because Trunks went back in time and changed the past.
The one here is from the 3rd timeline. This Cell killed his timeline's Trunks and stole his time machine. Future Trunks is obviously alive in his own timeline and when he returns he kills the Cell living there. There's still the other timeline that Trunks 3 (from Cell's time) traveled to in order to get what he needed to destroy the Androids. This Fourth Timeline's Cell might still be alive and may have killed everyone.
he tried to stop the world from ending but only speeds up the process making it worser than it already was at the end of the day goku was destined to die
If this happened in Trunks' timeline, 18 never would've just stood there watching Cell destroy 17. Cell would've had to fight them both at the same time. This 18 acted like she cared more for 16's wellbeing than her own brother.
Yeah the androids from Trunks’ timeline were savage; it was so satisfying to see him return to it and wipe them out one after the other in seconds like they were pesky bugs.

@@xprime1054 that could be it he's not like Frieza and he's not like Majin Buu even though Majin Buu had a lot of different forms but I really like Cell a lot and I like the saga maybe because of saga had a lot more balance to me personally and it wasn't as silly as Majin Buu. What about you man what's your favorite saga
Each cell is scary for a different reason Imperfect Cell is like a bug monster Perfect Cell is a confident badass who is a threat to multiple planets, if he destroyed the Earth, he probably would move on to other planets. Semi-Perfect Cell looks like someone in an alleyway that you wish wasnt there
Bulma stated that cell and 17 were able to merge body’s on a cellular level from the blueprints she read. So 17s absorption was more of a merge. 17 stated in dbs that he was fully conscious inside of cell feeling and seeing what he did. However I think 18 was actually absorbed/swallowed. & was suppose to just dissolve into cells structure. Different from actually merging with cell which 17 actually did.
@SigilOfBaphomet Because at this point, I was beginning to grow attached to the androids and after hearing that Cell had to absorb them, I was wondering what his next forms would be but also I was hoping they wouldn't be absorbed because of them being such good characters, so when I see Android 18 being absorbed, I always hope that some way she manages to escape but sadly she doesn't, that's how much those characters really grew on me as a kid.
Creepy part about this all is..that is cell from a completely different timeline that already killed trunks and use his time machine to find the androids...that cell was on a mission no matter how low he had to sink to get it.
Each form of cell has a very different look and totally a different voice. Imperfect cell has the most evil n dangerous voice. But all three forms are mostly green in colour.
> Looks to the left and right, doesn't see Cell > Fails to sense him even though he's right on his butt > Is being told Cell is behind him _proceeds to stand still_
I remember being a little shocked at how different of a character he became with his second transformation. It felt like watching Steve Buscemi turn into Tommy Lister Jr…
People say things would work out differently if dbz characters wouldnt stand around in shock so often. . But what if they arent. And they are actually moving much much faster.. But, Because they move so fast, that you cant see it, instead they show it in slow motion. That way you can see all their movements ;)
For the longest time I’ve never understood exactly why Cell needed 17 and 18 SPECIFICALLY to evolve into his perfect form (aside from being 2 extra power sources), then it hit like a heavy hard brick. He needs the most human androids to appear more humanoid himself thus making him the perfect martial artist/warrior. He’s already a weird mix-and-match of every powerful fighter we’ve known through this series through years of incubation and development, so what’s the final step, the humanity of your primary being. Does that make sense?
It could be that 17 and 18 are cyborgs, having machines inside them. Therefore, they are a compartment to Cell, who is a bio-android. Which means he could, theoratically, absorb 16 and have a different form. But because Dr Gero coded him that tells he can achieve perfection by just absorbing 17 & 18 alone, he doesn't see use to 16 who's not part of his objective.
androids are stubborn an hardheaded they should have kept moving. Tien took too long to warn android 17, cells fingers twitching while transforming is hilarious.🤣🤣😂
This saga still gives me chills. When cell kills all those people, including killing that rich guy. Trying to absorb 17 the first time and you see the inside of his tail. Then of course absorbing 18 while she was blinded.
This is actually a really disturbing scene. Not only is the process quite horrible and shocking to behold, but the sense that Cell is evolving something far more powerful! Dbz is at its best when it depicts transformations to something more powerful!
Hesring his muffled screams and seeing his struggling as he fights for his life, and seeing his body move through cell was truly a terrifying experience as a kid.
I know!! My brother had the nerve to say Majin Buu was scarier cause he turned lots of people into candy.
From the sound of things even Cell seems to be in pain when he transforms
Its pretty much being swallowed whole by a snake minus the snake suffocating you until your unconscious first. You are a aware while your being absorbed. That's the terrifying part for me.
@Charmion Brown to be fair the scene where buu goes inside that one guy and obliterates him was pretty damn gnarly for a kids show
What makes it especially scary is you NEVER see what exactly happens to 17 or 18 once Cell gets them in his tail.
At least with the likes of Buu, the people he absorbs are all wrapped up in pods inside him.
With Cell, you NEVER really know what exactly happened to 17 and 18 once they entered his body.
This had to be one of the most terrifying transformations. Just the distorted reverbing roars as Cell violently changes shape is amazing
Is there a reason why this was removed in the later revisions of the dub? This scene feels flat without it.

This is probably the moment when 17 learned to never let your opponent transform, which we later saw in Super.

Right!
The echoes from Cell's voice are so epic not to mention it was an awesome transformation!

This was terrifying when I was a kid. I'm rewatching as an adult now and it's still terrifying. Cell was the best DBZ villain ever.
me too I hate this scene
Cell was nice and OP but nothing beats the Namek Saga and it's main villain Frieza. That was pure chaos and epic at the same time.
Funimation dub did by far the best job of making Imperfect Cell intimidating. The Faulconer team's OST contributed a lot to that.
18 had so many chances to leave...
Of course she did, 17 to but the two of them just stood there.
The plot is the reason why she didn't leave that's all I got to say. Cell had plot armor lol!
When she got absorbed it’s because she made same mistake as 17. She didn’t listen to 16
Yeah but she didn’t want to leave 16 tho after he was injured
She didnt want to leave her brother

@@xprime1054 that could be it he's not like Frieza and he's not like Majin Buu even though Majin Buu had a lot of different forms but I really like Cell a lot and I like the saga maybe because of saga had a lot more balance to me personally and it wasn't as silly as Majin Buu. What about you man what's your favorite saga
Have to admit, watching this as a kid was always kind of creepy 🤣🤣🤣
The end of creepy Cell, my favorite. Peak DBZ
0:44 that's Cell's hypeman scream lmaooooooo
I think Cell in his first form was the most terrifying because he truly seemed like a monster.
16 was a real one.
He had a more sadistic primal natural in him he did whatever it took to win playing dirty was his game.
Each cell is scary for a different reason
Imperfect Cell is like a bug monster
Perfect Cell is a confident badass who is a threat to multiple planets, if he destroyed the Earth, he probably would move on to other planets.
Semi-Perfect Cell looks like someone in an alleyway that you wish wasnt there
his primal form
It’d be interesting if they can explain how exactly 17 disintegrates after being absorbed but 18 somehow remains whole and regurgitated.
Bulma stated that cell and 17 were able to merge body’s on a cellular level from the blueprints she read. So 17s absorption was more of a merge. 17 stated in dbs that he was fully conscious inside of cell feeling and seeing what he did. However I think 18 was actually absorbed/swallowed. & was suppose to just dissolve into cells structure. Different from actually merging with cell which 17 actually did.
The scary part is that 17 is alive inside in a suspended animation sense.all his senses are intact but he can’t move
That’s the crazy part. And they were intended to be inside Cell forever in that state. Pretty horrifying tbh
Alternate Title. "Cell drinks Kool-Aid for the first time".
I like how his feet turned to shoes
He's movin on up. He ain't homeless no more. Now he can afford shoes.
Cell max pros
As much as I love Perfect Cell, I HATE THE FACT THAT THE ANDROIDS HAD TO BE ABSORBED TO SEE HIM BE PERFECT, 18 being absorbed still makes me feel sad.
Wdym? I’m really glad the absorption was part of his character, it gave me my best kink
@@SigilOfBaphomet vore moment
@@mentallyuntouchable2918 Exactly
@SigilOfBaphomet Because at this point, I was beginning to grow attached to the androids and after hearing that Cell had to absorb them, I was wondering what his next forms would be but also I was hoping they wouldn't be absorbed because of them being such good characters, so when I see Android 18 being absorbed, I always hope that some way she manages to escape but sadly she doesn't, that's how much those characters really grew on me as a kid.
The Frieza & Cell Saga's are just so amazing. I miss the old fights & animation styles more than anything in the series these days.
This shit got me traumatized as a kid, seeing 17 struggle to get out while screaming inside of Cell’s stinger until he just stop moving…
Creepy part about this all is..that is cell from a completely different timeline that already killed trunks and use his time machine to find the androids...that cell was on a mission no matter how low he had to sink to get it.
Once I revert to an egg I must bury myself underground for three years, there my form matures.
Each form of cell has a very different look and totally a different voice. Imperfect cell has the most evil n dangerous voice. But all three forms are mostly green in colour.
> Looks to the left and right, doesn't see Cell
> Fails to sense him even though he's right on his butt
> Is being told Cell is behind him
_proceeds to stand still_
I remember being a little shocked at how different of a character he became with his second transformation. It felt like watching Steve Buscemi turn into Tommy Lister Jr…
17 locks his arms and never goes up. 16 had plenty of time to cut the tail. Thank goodness for the need of the script...
0:25 yeah even at this point 17 still had his hands to attack Cell. It's not like he's suffocating being trapped.
2:22 miss this Goku that thinks.
2:34 music 🎉🎉
2:47 the inspiration for Cell Max
People say things would work out differently if dbz characters wouldnt stand around in shock so often. .
But what if they arent. And they are actually moving much much faster..
But, Because they move so fast, that you cant see it, instead they show it in slow motion. That way you can see all their movements ;)
He treated 17 like a meal. He pounced on him like a hungry hobo.
Abridged 17: "No I can't go like this. I'm too cool to die this way!"
Semi-perfect Cell: "Ahh. So this is what lips feel like. Ba ba baa. Babababa."
This Cell was awesome creepy voice and eyes to match ❤️
That's how a lot of children got introduced to vore.
For the longest time I’ve never understood exactly why Cell needed 17 and 18 SPECIFICALLY to evolve into his perfect form (aside from being 2 extra power sources), then it hit like a heavy hard brick. He needs the most human androids to appear more humanoid himself thus making him the perfect martial artist/warrior. He’s already a weird mix-and-match of every powerful fighter we’ve known through this series through years of incubation and development, so what’s the final step, the humanity of your primary being. Does that make sense?
It could be that 17 and 18 are cyborgs, having machines inside them. Therefore, they are a compartment to Cell, who is a bio-android. Which means he could, theoratically, absorb 16 and have a different form. But because Dr Gero coded him that tells he can achieve perfection by just absorbing 17 & 18 alone, he doesn't see use to 16 who's not part of his objective.
@@lostcrusader8053 he can't absorb 16 because the big red machine is purely mechanical
@@lostcrusader8053 16 Is Full Robot. 17 and 18 are enhanced humans.
@@lostcrusader8053 couldn’t have explained it any better.
Ummm... Are u high?
Cell looks pretty strong🔥💪🏽😎🐸👽👾
Tien got the worst reaction time too little too late
Cell just upgraded his Android phone.
Bro that music is fire at the end
And the beginning
I forgot how dark this series used to be... They brought stuff like this back with the Moro arc...
0:51 you can hear 17 get crushed
I wouldn't say "crushed" but getting trapped in his body and maybe getting digested
Cell is the goofy ahh and creepy villain of DBZ
Imperfect cell looks and sounds almost the same as Red Hot Chili Pepper stand
Cell Transformations stages:
Imperfect Cell: *Hideous*
Semi-Perfect Cell: *Ugly*
Perfect Cell: *“You’re a handsome young man”*
Impefect Cell is BADASS AND AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
androids are stubborn an hardheaded they should have kept moving. Tien took too long to warn android 17, cells fingers twitching while transforming is hilarious.🤣🤣😂
Cell screaming/yelling is hellish and sceary it sends chills down my spine
Oh man when cell opened his tail hole and farded I got the chills 😳😳😳
Nigga wha😂
Idk why dodging is so hard in dbz
because they didn’t take piccolos advice
Because they're into suicide
Dooooooodddggee
Because it’s slowed down so we can see. Their attacks are much faster
This saga still gives me chills. When cell kills all those people, including killing that rich guy. Trying to absorb 17 the first time and you see the inside of his tail. Then of course absorbing 18 while she was blinded.
Dragon Ball without Shunsuke Kikuchi is like Pokemon without Eevee
i like how he even absorbs Clothes n shoes
He hungry lmaoo
I am like I would love to be absorbed by cell loving the process enjoying it in pleasure beyond measure
what the hell is wrong with you
“Ew this is gross! I’m too cool to be absorbed!”
0:03 Tien looks very strong
Muscles don't really mean anything in DBZ, the strongest characters are usually lean.
Watching Cell laugh as he butt chugs an android WHOLE while it hopelessly struggls makes Buu and Freza look tame af 😨
This is actually a really disturbing scene. Not only is the process quite horrible and shocking to behold, but the sense that Cell is evolving something far more powerful! Dbz is at its best when it depicts transformations to something more powerful!
what’s probably a bit worse is when he’s absorbing regular people with that stinger
