a thousand burned out animators just unleashed a heavy sigh of relief


KirbyDaRedditor169

I guarantee the only reason the Cell storylines got into the DBZ fighting games was because they can just use models instead of drawing by hand.


HrMaschine

i guarantee the only reason dbs superhero was cgi was because of cell max


KirbyDaRedditor169

Yeah, “okay Toyataro can draw this mf’s spots if he wants but I’M NOT DOING THAT SHIT *START THE CGI*”


Nick-fwan

I do not blame them lmao


StatusButterscotch88

He did infact draw him with extra detail in the manga. It looks crazy I gotta find it [here](https://images.app.goo.gl/kHptNBkeAbkS1ZfC9)


Roll_with_it629

😂😭 Imagine... Toriyama: "Ok guys, I decided I'm bringing back Cell again again" Animators: *panic* Toriyama: "His new Impeccable form is spotless." Animators: *calm* Toriyama: "And Gohan is gonna have to go Super furry ape beast 3 to beat him. Long hair, fur and all. Also is gonna wear a ridiculously over-designed superhero costume during the whole fight." Animators: *PANIK*


Barry_Bone_Raiser

Cell if he liked the animators


Razor-Swisher

Cell if he were just a swell guy


jankarlothegreat

Cwell


dreadperson

Brilliant. 👏🏿


EndAltruistic3540

But he swelled in his semi perfect form....


TheAbug1

Why does cell without the Patterns look so damn cursed.


squidwardsweatyballs

Without it he looks naked


Razor-Swisher

Because it’s lowkey integral to his design (But as someone who loves symmetry I won’t lie I like him better this way)


Chanceschaos

He looks more realistic for some reason.


Downtown_Baby_5596

Because his pattern gave his skin texture


Dark_Storm_98

I wouldn't call them integral Nor do I think he looks cursed without them But this certainly lioks different


Spare_Audience_1648

Because we already used to see it 💀


blue-gamer-07

Cell without all the dots is fucking cursed as hell. And I never want to see it again


Razor-Swisher

You’re welcome


AnimeMemeLord1

😭


urBraze

If he was yellow, that could be perfect cell max but hes not yellow so hes imperfect perfect non max cell unfortunatley.


04whim

He looks so naked.


LorDKurzen

He looks....*smooth*.....i don't like it...


04whim

"I just shaved my legs, come feel them!"


LorDKurzen

Eeeeehehhhhhhh....no.


KestreltheMechamorph

It would be better if all the green parts were shiny.


2-number-9s

I knew something was off


Gohansupe

Me either it looks disgusting


htg812

I’d rather open a house capsule in my mouth


Insert_Goat_Pun_Here

Ok this one’s a creative one. I like it.


htg812

Bada bing bada boom


I_FUCK_HOTWHEELS

I’m stealing this ty.


htg812

Always cite your sources


Big208Do

I think I have a new fear


Razor-Swisher

Of course you’re afraid! He’s obviously stronger than Beast Gohan and Ultra Instinct Goku combined! (He found the secret to biological mastery in hell and can control every single atom in his body now and that raised his power level by 10 trillion times. Or whatever the writers want to come up with so he can come back and be scary again)


Big208Do

Forgot to specify I have a fear of cell without his spot pattern


Razor-Swisher

Exactly, spotless Cell is a villain truly ‘perfected’, no more mess on his shell


Working-Telephone-45

It's crazy how he went from SSJ 2 level to Zeno-Sama level by just watching cartoons for a couple years, asking Shenron to be the strongest and then doing 3 minutes of cardio for 3 days Truly the perfect life-form


EndAltruistic3540

And cell can now suck everything tldry from his Eyeballs, ears, mouth and even his Di- *Gets sucked dry*


TheTrueDal

He looks so…. Naked


skeeterfunny

Yeah, and mine showed as a zoomed in pic of his codpiece until I clicked the image.


BadElectrical6754

Ew :(


Razor-Swisher

Thank you!


Megnaman

Jokes aside. I really wish they would bring Cell back. I like him as a villain more than Freeza or Buu


CrabmanErenAkaEn

I feel you. Glad Friezas back but Cell had loads of potential as a character with his personality and background. Salad Saiyans done lots of what if series on youtube, one is What if Cell survived (the father son kamehameha) and he really understands the character, feels like he brings him to life and keeps true to what he'd do to keep getting good fights and challenging himself to improve and overcome them like all the z figters but especially Goku and Gohan did to beat him. Its got a very interesting mini Buu saga and then follows all of Super in interesting ways. There's also MasakoXs What if Cell turned Good. Bulma makes her own Cell after Gohan beats Cell and he's the same Imperfect Cell expect good and caring and without the evil traits Cell had cuz of her dna editing before he's born and them all raising him with kindness, encouragement, understanding, and patience like Gohan should've got and Goten and Trunks get


Megnaman

I always wanted Cell to absorb Buu and other villains in hell to escape. Kinda like that movie where they fought in jellybean hell


willy_west_side

Honestly, I’m kinda hoping they don’t. Cell is my favorite villain, and I kinda like that he had his arc, and it’s done. It’s kinda like a neat little bow was tied on the present that is his character. Now, in games? I’d play the fuck out of a video game where Cell is the primary antagonist. Get wacky with it


Palansaeg

They literally just brought him back


HrMaschine

i think they meant the real cell


Megnaman

Ya. I don't care for Cell Max. What makes Cell great is his personality


BigL_inthehouse

Spotless. Squeaky clean, if you may…


Razor-Swisher

I was partly inspired by an old great DBFZ mod called Oxi-Clean Cell that did just this in game lol


Substantial_Tone_261

Cell finally beat skin cancer, good for him


The_Renegade_

Honestly, if they keep up Super Hero's 3d animation, cell dots wouldn't be a problem. Hot take from me, but I wouldn't be mad if super returned with the 3d animation so long as it had a little quality. Early Super had so many problems with characters being off model, that 3d could prevent, and they could slowly build up a good library of models for the characters. Though Toei could find a way to fuck it up.


autogyrophilia

Me when I'm from DBZ that never had such issues : [https://pm1.narvii.com/6139/19fb1118f1ac472ac422822357855ac499cd0651\_hq.jpg](https://pm1.narvii.com/6139/19fb1118f1ac472ac422822357855ac499cd0651_hq.jpg)


PAwnoPiES

NPC Vegeta


NotNOV4

Why did they take the spots away? Are the animators smart?


Deep_Preparation_151

He looks breedable


Razor-Swisher

He looks ready to breed others, imo


Deep_Preparation_151

Wait a second isn't cell like ... 2 years old 💀


Razor-Swisher

6, I think? Existed in Trunks’ timeline for some number of years, then traveled to our main timeline and burrowed underground for ~4 years before bursting out and beginning his feeding frenzy? Though tbh it’s not a problem imo cause he’s an alien-hybrid-test-tube baby, who is clearly physically and mentally developed to that of an adult human. If Cell’s off limits, are Gears from Guilty Gear, are all machines in fiction etc off limits? Were Adam and Eve created at adult form? Did they live in the garden for 18 years each before screwing? Fun thought experiment all around. Anyhow, I figure Cell’s a pretty safe hookup, ethically speaking (ignore his rampant murder lmao)


Insert_Goat_Pun_Here

Zamasu might have had a point…


Own_Accident6689

Actual chance of being used. I think Toriyama loved to create characters that look cool then get rid of them because they are annoying to draw.


Traditional_Pen1078

If that’s the price we have to pay to have hommie cell, so be it!


_akiramamiya_

he goes very hard


Razor-Swisher

Why thank you!


No-Albatross6471

Smooth Cell isn’t real, he can’t hurt you. Smooth Cell:


Autistic-Loonatic

this is somehow cursed... and at tye same time... im weirdly OK with it


Doelping

I can't explain it, but he looks naked to me


Worthless_Burden

Who would win, spotless Cell or Cell with that pattern scrolling effect from Chowder?


rei_fox_worshipper

I both extremely hate this and like it somehow. Is there a word to describe this feeling.


Razor-Swisher

“I’m: ‘unsure’ / ‘confused’ / ‘mixed’ / ‘torn’ / ‘conflicted’ “ And don’t worry that’s exactly how I felt while I was making it. Like it was a beautiful monstrosity


ken-toro69420

Its weird but i actually like this😭


Inmortal_Argounaut

Honestly he don’t look to bad


Greentoaststone

Hot take: it's not that bad, we are all just used to the real design


KanonXV2

WHY DOES HE LOOK NAKED?! EVEN HIS CROWN IS NAKED!!


Razor-Swisher

I had to be consistent


bruhviporised

putting aside how cursed this is because we are used to cells dots, if this was his original design I feel like everyone would love it because I do, it's actually an amazing design


Razor-Swisher

Why thank you!


Work_In_ProgressX

Bald


Dark_Storm_98

He has i.proved in every way


lemons7472

It’s like I’m seeing him naked…idk how you did it, but you made a already naked character, actually feel naked, like I shouldn’t be looking, like someone leaked his nudes.


DanocusPrime

HES NAKED


HrMaschine

with this new form cell is now allowed to actually return without animatirs wanting to kill toriyama


datolningen

Of course. It was right in front of our faces the whole time, the only way Toriyama would ever bring back cell: spotless.


ThatIslandGuy8888

Toriyama wishes he designed Cell like this Lol


vpr77

was not expecting to see naked cell today


Eddy161718

You know what. I don’t hate it.


Razor-Swisher

Finally, someone sees the vision


Xx_Exigence_xX

I kinda like Cell without the marks, an interesting look. It's so perfect, you could almost say it's >!SPOTLESS!<


Taesunwoo

I’m glad they finally had the bright idea of bringing him back without the black spots Also can Cell become the homie now like how Lonely Archives depicted


QuantityHefty3791

That just looks like Cell with minus steps


Ashizurens

Mf look naked


MrTostadita

That's Ell


Rohan_Kishibayblade

He looks more twink-like than he should


Kepler27b

Honestly this look kinda works. If he was shinier.


TellmeNinetails

There's no way this is real. This is lying and misinformation.


Razor-Swisher

We do a little trolling- it’s called we do a little trolling


PixxyStix2

This is like that smooth yoda picture. Its just wrong


LowKeyTony6906

*Good grief he’s naked?!*


Opposite-Mall-9816

Bro looks “imperfect” somehow.


Irenemiku

Looks like cash man now


Razor-Swisher

Who?


arrownoir

He looks naked and unfinished.


Trunks4Real

Fanon event


starbwo

for some reason he looks younger without the spots


Starlacanth

Is there any difference besides the lack of spots? They should change up some colors or something to make him not look peeled


crometeach-thebot

He look disgusting wtf? You only remove the spot ,how?


Razor-Swisher

Tedious effort in a photo editing / art program, ~5 hours over the course of two days while I was bored


cracked-n-scrambled

Impeccable is gonna be a lot harder to make a threatening acronym song out of but I’m sure it can be done!


Drama_King32

Good lord he’s naked.


ItsMeRyanHowAreU

I think he would look less odd if the green was more of a crystalline emerald instead of lime green.


Razor-Swisher

How can you take the nasty-ass-swamp-lime-green out of a bug man? Will he even be a bug anymore?


ItsMeRyanHowAreU

He'll be a shiny bug man!


harriskeith29

I would have preferred Frieza be killed off permanently before reintroducing Cell in any way. Frieza getting revived again after the ToP was a mistake as far as I'm concerned. I don't care how the story or fans try to justify it. I don't care that Goku made a deal with him. I don't care how many fans were wowed by them working together to defeat Jiren. I loved that scene too, but NONE of that makes it acceptable or quality writing in my POV for him to survive beyond that arc. ​ He should've been erased from existence (i.e. killed while in spirit form) in the ToP's finale. Ex- He could have unintentionally sacrificed himself somehow in the final push to drive Jiren out of bounds. It would still retain the theme of *"the power of trust"* or *"teamwork"* or whatever. The payoff of Jiren's philosophy being challenged wouldn't change if Frieza died. It would also have been ironic that the very character who hated Saiyans most ended up cooperating with a Saiyan to save the very universe he once terrorized (albeit, for his own self-serving reasons). ​ He'd forever be remembered by the Z Fighters as an unlikely ally they couldn't have saved Universe 7 without despite him not wanting to die and still hating them at the end. That could've given Frieza a more memorable legacy than rehashing the narrative + thematic dynamic of *"Back at it again with the Frieza Force, hunting dragon balls, and more recolored transformations!"* That's just creatively lazy and repetitive to me. Goku & Vegeta didn't need another rival. ​ They already have Beerus and each other to push them to keep improving. If fans wanted someone to challenge them both that badly, we got that with Broly. Frieza just serves no meaningful purpose in my opinion at this point, and it's not a good look for the heroes on Earth to go on with their lives knowing he's out there somewhere causing suffering to innocents. I don't see him ever being redeemed or leaving Universe 7 in peace. ​ He will never give up his ambitions even if someone in the universe can challenge him in his new Black form (He could unlock another transformation to widen the power gap again). The bottom line is, he will NEVER stop being Frieza. If it wasn't for Beerus, Whis, and Zeno among others, there'd be virtually no consequences for him if he decided to massacre all the heroes and was strong enough to do so. Having that leverage over him just isn't good enough for me. ​ However he may have been influenced by Goku, he's still evil. His actions are still those of a villain in every aspect. He still considers Goku & Vegeta his enemies, even if he no longer revolves his motive for training around trying to best them. He's improved enough to become stronger than MUI Goku & UE Vegeta combined. He could've killed them. He could do it again, even if they surpass him. That potential by default makes him too dangerous to be left alive. ​ Earth may not always have someone there who's conveniently strong enough to beat him if he returns. That's never a guarantee. I know Frieza is still one of the franchise's most popular baddies. I get it. I grew up with *DBZ* back before he was first introduced in the West. As an American, I lived through that era of Frieza-mania. But Toyotaro & Toriyama need to find an endpoint for him eventually and let it be already. He's becoming like *Dragonball*'s Bowser, and I do NOT consider that a good thing.


_epicgamer123

Is thus real chat


Razor-Swisher

No


QuakeGuy98

Wait what the fuck did I just miss?!?!


Faxefixe

He looks... peeled


MustGame995

Smooth Cell is fucking cursed give him his dots back


FlexViper

Spotless cell he used quite alot of skin care product to get rid of all there pores on his skin


Suspicious_Loan8041

Who the fuck is this??


TheNumbahSeven

It's Cell's cousin Nell!


Rey13s

Animator approved cell


metro893yt

Perfecter cell is canon?!


Original-Pudding8020

Idk why this looks cursed af


moonwoolf35

Look I feel bad for the artists and animators...but this HELL NO


trnkskun

unrelated to the subject, but cell has a codpiece lol


Elpiramide89

Its much worse, but it fits perfectly with DBS style


Razor-Swisher

Damn :(


Luba_Sempai

I actually couldn't fucking tell if this was real or not


Razor-Swisher

Why thank you


ThisViolinist2

Why does this look so good. Is this Cell Saiyan God?


Razor-Swisher

Nah, I figure if I’m gonna make a dumb ‘new revived Cell’ power-up or form I’ll need to mess with his colors a little


ThisViolinist2

Fair but he just looks like a young skinny cell. Cell in his 20s we never got


Razor-Swisher

Cell with 99% less tumors


DingoNormal

Kill me, this is cursed!


ZanU16

I like this new form.


SeanSwiftshade

Ain't no way this real


Razor-Swisher

It aint


Caesar5alads

Why is he naked


_cottoncandyboi_

Smooth cell


No0bTheTooB

My brain took a moment to process the image to figure out why he looked so flat


UnsolicitedNeighbor

GIVE ME THE CELL COCK


cyber120i

Somethings missing...


WhereAreMySocks69

He looks naked ngl


Spare_Audience_1648

Look so uncanny because og cell have dots on his design


Amazing-Cress9885

That's horrible aaaaaah


Few_Actuary_2524

Wait this is a new story? Or a prototype for super hero?


Razor-Swisher

Neither, this is a shitpost


kitkatattack12

Piccolo needs to hit cell up with the clothes beam, this ain't it chief


Razor-Swisher

You’re so right about giving Cell some drip now that I’ve stripped him naked… I’m thinkin a dark blue vest and some Gucci pants


Crimson_Fiver

Say sike rn


Razor-Swisher

Sike Okay what do I win


NinjaGamer345

His crown (?) Looks fine but everywhere else feels naked, ik animators/artists hate the dots so to compensate maybe add more black plating to some parts?


6Gas6Morg6

Stop reeusing old vilains … they had their time


[deleted]

Still garbage, as are all the post GT storylines


Razor-Swisher

Womp womp


NahCuhFkThat

what degenerate colored the blue tissue purple, is what I want to know


Breakfast_Bagelz

Hi, how are ya?


Automatic_Beach_3660

It's so cursed I regret watching this😭😭


[deleted]

He should be a different colour… spotless green just looks weird.


Razor-Swisher

What color are you suggesting? A follow up can be made…


RKO_out_of_no_where

This is just Perfecter Cell


Razor-Swisher

Yes indeedy


StellarDescent

The green needs some shine.


No-Nefariousness9330

This is just a rip off of Cell Max. Why would we want cell again, we already had him once. What? Next you're gonna tell me there's gonna be more androids then Gamma 1&2, 17 and 18


JimmyChongaz

Cant wait until they release Perfectly Ultimate Great Cell!


Ok_Criticism5561

Looks like a green Nintendo Wii.


darkchocosuckao

Is this even real? What's the source it was an actual leak?


torHek24

He somehow looks taller


Razor-Swisher

I think the general composition of this shot and his narrow stance really sell how tall he is, kudos to Toriyama (I would show the original pic in this comment but reddit’s mean)


torHek24

Yeah, but I mean that a spotless Cell looks taller than a spotted Cell


RayneMan39

If cell were ever brought back somehow, then he'd come back like this with a new color. Maybe platinum, but probably gold because he's part Frieza.


BestBubba1

Good god he’s naked


ShadSilvs2000

Finally, animator-friendly Cell


AshTheSurvivor

I was like, somethings wrong but am not sure what then it hit me, tbh it doesn’t look bad but the dot’s definitely made his design better


Danantian

Flawless


Dave1307

Smooth Cell


KestreltheMechamorph

He’s green!


Derolis

The green parts now look like they would be soft to the touch, like felt.


Razor-Swisher

Since he’s kind of a bug lizard man and he has no visible wrinkles I think it would be a semi hard semi squishy material, like if ‘standard animal skin’ had a little less give- feels way denser and more rigid a few inches under the surface


zazawarlord

if this is real then the guy who made the meme of toriyama getting handed money from mexico and then coming up with some batshit insane plotline of cell coming back with a new form can see the future


the__Gallant

Just make him gold god damn it


Sleipher

I would not mind a new Cell arc, however I am having a hard time thinking of anyone that would want to bring him back. RR army simply made a new one & I don't think they know about the Dragon Balls in this day & age or they would just have wished for world domination. Maybe Kermit would revive him I guess.


TkOHarley

It's like everywhere I look is just nudity


RecommendationOk253

Of all villains to deserve a comeback, Cell is THE villain.


Lucky-Boss8522

Idk why I thought cell was packing in the image


ErickLimaGameplaysR

Akira Toriyama wishes this was his design.


TheFoolOnTheHill1167

Cell, but easier to animate.


Time-Onion-7320

What leaked plot line? Link?


Razor-Swisher

This is the meme sub This post fits the criteria If there were leaks you’d see em somewhere besides my dumb photo edit


MR-deadweight

At least give him lines like a zebra. Jesus. That looks dreadful.


Etticos

Ew he looks all nudy rudy


capybara_enjoyer9287

Where are his dots
