Cell (Japanese: セル, Hepburn: Seru) is a fictional character in the
Dragon Ball manga series created by Akira Toriyama. He makes his debut
in chapter #361 The Mysterious Monster, Finally Appears!!
(è¬Žã ®æ€ªç‰©ã€ ã ¤ã „ã «å‡ºç ¾!!, Nazo no Kaibutsu, Tsui ni
Shutsugen!!), first published in Weekly ShÅ nen Jump on 16 February
1992. Cell is an evil artificial life form, created using cells from
several of the main characters, who travels back in time so he can
become the perfect being. In order to reach this goal, he must absorb
Androids #17 and #18.After Kazuhiko Torishima, Toriyama's former
editor during Dr. Slump and early Dragon Ball, expressed
dissatisfaction with first Androids #19 and #20 and later Androids #17
and #18 as villains, Toriyama created Cell. Toriyama has expressed
some kind of regret regarding the design of Cell, calling it tedious
to draw all the little spots on his body. In addition, he did not
initially plan for the character to be able to transform, but gave him
this ability after his then-current editor YÅ« KondÅ described Cell
as "ugly." Toriyama intended for Cell's second form to last longer
than it did; KondÅ found the form to be silly and urged him to hasten
the first appearance of the next transformation.Cell originally
evolves from a cicada-like form into his Imperfect
Cell(ä¸ å®Œå…¨ä½"セル, Fukanzentai Seru) form, which is still
insect-like in appearance. Both his first form and his second
Semi-Perfect Cell(å Šå®Œå…¨ä½"セル, Hankanzentai Seru) form have a
long tail that ends in a stinger-like appendage and allows it to
absorb other organisms. The tail recedes under his wings in his final
Perfect Cell(完全ä½"セル, Kanzentai Seru) form, although he then
uses it to spawn Cell Juniors(セルジュニア, Seru Junia),
minuscule childlike versions of himself. After his supposed death,
Cell returns even stronger, in a form often called Super Perfect
Cell(超完全ä½"セル, ChÅ Kanzentai Seru) or Revived
Cell(復活セル, Fukkatsu Seru).
